★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Suzy Isaacs · Feb 2026

Always a long wait and horrible servicd. Look at these kids. Why are they ripped and covered in side. Smh. They didn’t know which drinks were which. It took 20 mins to get some drinks.

Where are the car hops on roller skates I used to see here? Without those this place is not worth the hassle to try and perfectly place your vehicle in these tight windows. If you are a pro, you don't have to take your seat belt off and open the door to hit the button to order. I've not mastered that task just yet. Overall the food is good, but takes forever to arrive. Prices are decent on most items, and still the best slush around! Plan on spending $20-$25 for 2 people.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Judy Johnson · Jan 2026

I keep trying to like Sonic and every time I am disappointed. Quality just is not good. I always buy food for now and food for a later meal. The fries were cold no flavor, burger just blah. The chicken nuggets, poppers, chunks (not sure for this company) were the slurry mix of regurgitation of chicken meat put into a chunk form. The wait line in the drive through was extremely long.

My husband, daughter & I stopped here and ordered 12 Frito Chili Cheese Jr. Wraps. After receiving our food we pull out and start eating only to discover that every wrap was nothing more than plain Fritos in a soft shell tortilla; the chili was non existent. I had also ordered some chili cheese tots in which only two tots had chili on them. I called the restaurant back to voice my complaint only to be told that the wraps had been made to their standards with one ladle of chili on each wrap. She then proceeded to tell me she couldn't replace all 12 of them. She was very hesitant and stand offish as to what I was saying. As if I was trying to get free food when we had just spent nearly $40. I'm very disappointed with their customer service.

Only go there for the 44oz Coconut slushee. I got a 44oz Carbonated Coconut drink. Tasted like a club soda with a hint of coconut. YUKE
