★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Lacey Hasting · Dec 2025

Wasn’t going to say anything but I’m pretty displeased. I got 3 milkshakes and a cheese stick. I was told they didn’t have any pennys so my change would be 3 cents short. Personally I think that is when they should have given me a nickel and I would have gotten what? 2 cents off but no I had to eat the 3 Pennys, which like I said, whatever, I wasn’t going to ruin someone’s day over 3 cents. Then I get not even 200 feet from the store and the lid isn’t even on my son’s milkshake and it gets allllllll over him!!! Very disappointed in my experience!!!!

It's fast food. It's local. And it's open till 12 AM unlike most places. What more can you ask for in a Fast Food place. Especially one you don't even have to leave your car for? The food is of good quality and the staff is particularly friendly. A win win wouldn't you say? The workers here are REALLY good at getting to know the regulars. I should know. They know me for two things here. My drive thru character voices and being Super Mario. Anyways...Dimmy's giving this 5 stars outta 5! EDIT: 3 consecutive times, I have gone to this Sonic. I've ordered the same thing. Single Cheeseburger, only ketchup. Large Fry. Large Diet Coke. 3 times now, I've gotten a dry or over cooked patty. Buns that are burnt or dry leading me to throw the burger away. If I have to ASK for you to remake it, you'r

I go for the BLT add extra bacon, with a Dr. Pepper add some vanilla, and a cookie dough blast. The staff members are always very nice and polite and have your food ready very quickly. Keep up the good work

Placed a very simple order that took 20 minutes to be brought out. Then it was brought out to the wrong car. Another 10 minutes I received my order and it was cold. Didn't offer a discount or refund. How is this place still in business?
