    I have been to this Sonic a few times and I have failed to make a review. The majority of the time the person bringing out the food is friendly and polite. I usually pre-order my food and give them notification when I arrive. Depending on how slammed they are sometimes depends how long it takes to get the food. The food is usually good for Sonic food or drink. The shake I got today was good, haven’t had one in a while so it was too much whipped cream on top. And as usual, the tops don’t stay on the cup very well; but no fault directly to this location but to the corporate headquarters. The parking areas was clean and landscaped.

    Very disappointed. I ordered a 44oz limeade with extra ice.. I don't know what they put in it but it wasn't a regular limeade.

    Whoever owns this place needs to do better. Having a single employee on shift during the busiest time of day, happy hour, is actually crazy. It should not take 15 minutes for two sodas to come out. Not blaming staff here, but managers or owners need to do better about scheduling. Poor girl was stressed. I can see owners name on door- Mr. James pls do better

    whatever manager/shift lead was closing tonight 9/30 at midnight needs to find a new job that she actually loves. we pulled up bc the hours online say open til 1 am. we pressed the button to order and she comes out saying “the lights are off, so we’re closed” with attitude and then aggressively shut the door???? we had no idea they were closed because online it says open til 1am. we completely understand that these things happen, but fix your attitude when letting customers know you’re closed!!!
