★★★★★ 5.0 Frank Dean · Dec 2025

A simple problem of needing a ranch and cheese turned onto a manager throwing ranch at me in my car calling the cops and was so nasty to me. I was so kind to you ma’am and then she called the cops on me ! I’m not sure what has happened to this place but this woman is a horrible MANAGER and I hope she understands the impact she can have on her business!!!! STOP GOING TILL SERVICE IS IMPROVED is my recommendation!!! Update …owner met with me and I honestly believe this was a one off situation so I changed my review due to professional way it was handled

I've atr at this Sonic a few times, and the food has not been as good as at other locations. I've got a Sonic Blast before, with add-in only on top, then it was just a cup of vanilla ice cream. Today, I got pretzels, and they were nowhere near the quality I usually get at other locations... They were half the size lengthwise, like they did not rise or something? I will say the service was great... Fast and friendly. The Lemonade Cream Cooler is absolutely delicious! I also usually love the pretzel twist.

Sonic Drive-In is always a great stop for a quick and tasty meal. The food comes out hot and fresh, and I love the variety on the menu—from classic burgers and fries to refreshing slushes and shakes. The service is fast and friendly, and the convenience of ordering right from the car makes it super easy. Perfect place for a quick bite or a fun treat!"
