    I actually get hot fresh food at this location. Darrell always has a positive attitude and working hard to get everyone's order to the quick and correct. That man deserves a raise based on his positivity and customer service

    Pulled up for an order and they said it’ll be out soon. Waited 30 minutes and asked for an update. They completely forgot.

    I had the garlic butter bacon cheeseburger and hooked up chili cheese tater tots along with a milkshake. Darrell brought it out to me and he was extremely good natured and friendly explaining that it was fresh and hot. And it definitely was. The Sonics I have been to lately I've been lacking, slow, and the food I had their made me want to throw it away. That said this is the best Sonic around in my opinion. Thank you. I'll definitely be returning.
