"Great hot, fresh food with fast service. I went back today for lunch. Although they were busy, my order was taken quickly. I had the Double Meat Meal Cheeseburger and small fries, which were hot and freshly cooked. It was very good, and I’ll be returning soon—you should give it a try. Today, I also ordered a small Oreo Sonic Blast. It was delicious, though a bit pricey for the size. I visited again for a Sonic Cheeseburger Combo. It was very busy, and I had to wait about 20 minutes, but the food was hot and fresh when I received it. I’ll definitely come back, just not during lunch hours because it gets too crowded."

Prices are fairly high. A small Frito pie was like two bites and would not fill a child.. I do wish they'd bring back fifty cent corn dog day!!

They are terrible to their customers. Make you wait for over 30 minutes and then placed a roach in my burger. I will never go back to this Sonic.

I ordered food for my kids and myself. The bottom bun of my burger was incredibly stale, so much that I tried eating the sandwich without it. In the end, I had to throw it away because it was too messy and not very good. I also paid extra for Oreo and Reese’s toppings on my sundae, but it only had a tiny sprinkle of Oreo dust—no crumbs, just dust. After two bites, it just tasted like a plain caramel sundae, so I threw it away. My kids enjoyed their cheeseburgers and strawberry sundaes, so I’ll give credit for that. Overall, I’m giving one star. View menu

"First, let me start by: I really wanted to like this place Unfortunately, as you can see in the picture: that didn’t work out. Our outing started out nice for my birthday brunch, but half way through my “chefs choice” omelette I was in for a rude awakening. I was pretty grossed out at what I found in my omelette dark hair) and even more so at the conflict resolution between my server Mary) and the Chef’s resolve. Firstly, we brought this up very calmly and kindly to our server and asked her if she could please take the plate away and she was apologetic and SUPER soft spoken). I asked her as a alternative to the situation if she could bring just a new side of pulled pork and avocado sauce the filling of the “chefs choice” omelette). I was extremely shocked and even more grossed out) when she came back and said “chef inspected for more hairs and said it was clear and replated it for you”. I was really confused as to why they would replate the same omelette I was grossed out by and found the hair in and try to pass it off as okay. I was simply asking for a “new side of the pulled pork” I don’t know where that got lost in translation When I asked our server Mary) for the check, my girlfriend noticed she charged us for a pulled pork sandwich $16) when we ordered a $22 chef choice omelette. We brought it up to her and she mentioned she wrote a sandwich when she first took the order. Very confusing and seems avoidant on behalf the management here. I figured a manager or even the chef would have tried to come out and resolve or at least be apologetic about the unwanted hair in my food. Sucks that this was my birthday brunch experience. Unfortunately, we won’t be coming back next time."
