    Stopped by to get a bite to eat. The tater tots are rubbery like they have been sitting under a heat lamp. Barely any chili and cheese is basically nonexistent. Waste of half of my order on this. Drink tasted fresh and ice cream was good despite being out of hot fudge. They need to pick their standards up franchise wide. Sonic used to have some of the freshest food.

    My husbands food was pretty good but my mozzarella sticks all the cheese was cooked out and the tots tasted like they had been sitting out for a while!! Drinks were like old dishwater mixed with cherry flavoring!!!!! I contacted sonic via text someone was supposed to get back with me but never did. This isn't the first time our food and beverages have been less than par. We won't be back again.

    Horrible experience. Restroom was nasty, no soap. Burrito was pitiful with 5 little pieces of sausage. Manager refunded the order and I threw it away. Someone is going to get sick eating there. No orange justice and no ketchup. I will never be back.
