★★★★☆ 4.0 Kimberley Gaitan · Mar 2026

The Smash burgers are the perfect size. I am a tater tot girl and they are hot and always lightly salted. The classic cherry limeade pairs wonderfully with this meal. Food comes out in a timely manner and if you roll your windows down you can enjoy some great music too.

Not sure who owns this location, but they should be embarrassed as they have the reputation as the slowest Sonic ever. We drive past it often because of the horrible waits previously. A few times we just left after waiting 15-20 minutes for our food and nothing arriving. Today we were in a hurry and decided to order ahead on the app to give them plenty of time. App said pickup at 12:03. Again, we waited and waited and finally had the food was delivered approx 15 later than the app said and almost 30 minutes after ordering. I guarantee they lose so much business because of the horrible reputation and service.

We parked by the picnic tables and ordered at the picnic tables. The woman who took our order had a horrible attitude. It was cold so we went to wait in our car. The same woman brought our food out and we stopped her by the car to tell her it was ours. She was so rude to us. Said if we are going to order at the picnic tables then we couldn't park where we were at. We were right next to the picnic tables in one of the mobile order spots. The entire mobile order spot area was empty. We were not taking up a spot that someone else could have used. They barely had any customers. If you're going to work in hospitality maybe you should train to have a better attitude. Worst customer service experience I've ever had at this location.

After seeing the commercials for $1.99 shakes decided to stop by & get a shake. Every other stall credit card machine and/or screen was out of order. The restroom was out of order. I asked why everything at this restaurant was out of order? They said they were working on it. I ordered a shake (caramel ) couldn’t wait for it to arrive. When I got my shake the first thing I saw was the cherry it was dried up like a raisin. If the outside is like that I can just imagine what the inside looks like. I wouldn’t recommend this Sonic.
