I don't recommend this location. Drive through was VERY slow. And when I got to the speaker, they didn't even ask me to wait, I was met with silence until i spoke up. The employees at least maintained a professional tone. Ordered a chili cheese hotdog combo and 3 piece tenders. Hot dog was on its side in a bag too small, and the little toppings that were on it all slid off onto the bag and one side of the tray. Despite those, the food was still decently good, everything but the tots tasted rather fresh! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

Honestly, my worst experience for food I've had at sonic. I once was not only an employee for Sonic, but I was a corporate trainer whom also opened this specific location. The food was the worst experience I've ever had at any Sonic location and I worked at 32 locations. If I was able to still reach out to the franchise owners or operators, I would give a vivid description of the entire experience in great detail. I not only waited 2x or 3x the acceptable time but was just utterly surprised anyone expedited such food. From the viciously hard tator tots, to the ordered "light" American dog condiments that were actually doused in relish, and smoothered in both ketchup/mustard; the entire meal was attempted to be consumed but truly was entirely un-edible. I had a good cream-slush but even that was subpar unfortunately. It's disheartening to see such a great place become such an unappealing prospect for future visits. I'm available to give further statements on the visit but I truly hope there is some changes made because if I experienced such during non-busy hours, I can't imagine what others may experience during rush hours or peak times. I really hope this is a moment of clarity and something positive comes from these comments. Yours truly, AJ Warren. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

We appreciate you letting us know about this, AJ Warren. We’re bummed about the wait and sorry the food didn't meet the high standards you know we aim for. We’ll share this with the local team and hope you'll give us another chance.

It's early morning, and I am super duper early for an appointment. Well, since Sonic Drive-In is open and it's not taking Me far from My appointment site, I'll get some breakfast. However, there's nothing on the breakfast menu I want. After finding out that I can choose an alternative to breakfast, I ordered onion rings. They were just an onion ring, nothing outstanding about it at all. After eating a couple, I realize WHY IN THE HECK I ORDERED ONION RINGS??? Now I have to go to My appointment with onion breath ‍. I searched my car for something to refresh My mouth, and came up with nothing... UNTIL, I looked in the Sonic bag and behold peppermints. AND that is the reason for the 5 star review, for the Sonic STAFF doing his job to supply Me with peppermints. Food: 2 Service: 5 Service: Takeaway Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–10
