★★★☆☆ 3.0 Harley Schultz · Mar 2026

No answer at DT, so I went to carhop spot. After six minutes someone finally answered.Ordered a double smasher, med cheddar peppers and jumbo cherry limeade, plus a $1.99 chicken wrap.Food took longer than expected but was quite tasty. Biggest surprise though was that the medium cheddar peppers only included five - leaving me to wonder how few come in a small. At $5.79 for the order plus tax, the peppers were more than $1 apiece.

I was actually picking up an order here for GrubHub. I can't say anything about the food but what I can say is sonics comment in the GrubHub app stated that I needed to go inside to pick up the order. The signs outside said that I needed to download the app in the instructions for picking up to order would be in the app. I couldn't find any instructions in the app so I went up to the building and they told me I needed to go through the drive-thru. Restaurants need to consider delivery drivers as customers. After all their customer sent me to get their food. A little communication goes a long ways.

I had waited in the drive thru for half an hour. There was only 2 other cars in the line with me. ordered $20 dollars worth of food to only get $10 worth handed to me. Can’t even get a refund on the sonic website. This location never been this bad ever but i take my words back today. Stay FAR AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION if you want all of ur food and don’t want to deal with crabby workers!!!

I'd give a zero if I could. Waited almost half hr at a stall no answer. Drivr thru they shut down their lights. Did an order on the app. Received my order.. or what I thought was my order to fine out not all the food was in there. :(. Short staffed and I know its hard management needs a little more attention at this location. The kid handing out food was symptomatic and sweet.

Used to frequent here but got food poisoning from a jumbo chilli dog, 6 piece mozzarella sticks and a medium crafted cheesecake shake on March 24 2025, went at 9:30pm, I don't know what happened but I got pretty sick and had all the same food I normally have earlier in the day so it wasn't from anything else and didn't have a stomach bug either. I think that was the last time I visit here.
