★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Jamie Crawford · Jan 2026

Stopped by to get a bite to eat. The tater tots are rubbery like they have been sitting under a heat lamp. Barely any chili and cheese is basically nonexistent. Waste of half of my order on this. Drink tasted fresh and ice cream was good despite being out of hot fudge. They need to pick their standards up franchise wide. Sonic used to have some of the freshest food.

My husbands food was pretty good but my mozzarella sticks all the cheese was cooked out and the tots tasted like they had been sitting out for a while!! Drinks were like old dishwater mixed with cherry flavoring!!!!! I contacted sonic via text someone was supposed to get back with me but never did. This isn't the first time our food and beverages have been less than par. We won't be back again.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 MandersonTX · Dec 2025

Horrible experience. Restroom was nasty, no soap. Burrito was pitiful with 5 little pieces of sausage. Manager refunded the order and I threw it away. Someone is going to get sick eating there. No orange justice and no ketchup. I will never be back.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 MaTreeka Rogers · May 2025

Order said it was ready 15 minutes ago. I pressed the button 10minutes ago to ask if anyone was on their way. I had to get out of my car go inside to there work station and ask about my food and they couldn't even tell me where it was. I counted at least 4 workers meanwhile the (not to body shame) larger lady kept looking at me with the most disgusting look as if i was a bother meanwhile no one has offered me a refund just that its coming all the while i had to repeat my whole order for them to start on it. Wont be coming back to this location. Definitely need a manager on staff or a retraining if either of them were one
