    I am not a regular customer but twice i have visited this location in a year; and twice they dont serve the smash burgers. I dont eat unhealthy often but I was craving a smash burger both times 😆. I sandwich I ended up buying was not good. I assume this location doesn't make smash burgers anymore or it was my unlucky day twice.

    Stole my money! Charged me twice. I made a $32 order. They rang me up for that and also rang me up for 12 that I never ordered or received anything for

    I ordered two breakfast burritos from this Sonic via Uber eats for me and someone else. Since Uber eats doesn't allow you to review the restaurants, I'll do it on here instead. When it arrived, it was luke warm. After heating it up, I took a bite and was disappointed to find out that most of the bacon was completely inedible and not chewable. There was also bare minimum ingredients in my burrito, It was mostly tortilla in the middle. I was even more disappointed to find out that it was the same situation for the other person who had a burrito. Please beware of this. They were also really tiny than what I would normally be used to seeing. Absolutely disappointing.

    Love the caramel toffee coffee. The onion rings and ocean water will always be my favorite
