Customer Reviews
Went to this location on 11/11/2025, for lunch. Woke up some time after midnight with diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea. I thought it might have been the flu. I was sick for two days. I also felt very weak. The only place I went that day was Sonic. Today I heard that this Sonic has been shut down for failing a health inspection. To be shut down, and not just told to fix an issue, it’s SHUT DOWN! Now I know how, what and why I got sick.
Revised: It's slow. Before I revised the review was about slowness, but I figured I could at least reword it, it's fast food after all, and they probably don't get paid very much, so could probably cut a little bit of slack as far as that goes.
Feb 29th, was going to stop and buy something. No where to park. Drive thru full. So busy, no car hops walking around. Hire more people! No one pulling out and leaving. Obviously a long wait time. Feb 16th. Im the only one in the drive thru. I ordered one item. 1. 10 minutes later, I'm still waiting. While watching two employees talk back and forth while pointing at me, saying, "What's she waiting for?" Oct 3rd. A cup of ice for me. A cheeseburger for the stall next to me ordered after I did. He GOT HIS BURGER BEFORE I GOT MY ONE CUP OF ICE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! May 8th: 10 minutes for a cup of ice. Don't come here on your lunch...that's for sure. If I have to watch someone rearrange receipts and push buttons on the screen for a few minutes...for a cup of ice....that's not okay. Which
Unable to get Large Blasts, they only serve medium as their largest size. Cups were not filled too the top. Ordered large , but was told when paying that they were not available and couldn't answer why.
Feb, 2026- 2 of us had lunch there today. Service was quick, the food was prepared just as we asked and it was very good. Original review- Food was good. Service was good. They fixed the potholes in the drive...yea!!
