The Sonics in this town need major help. We only came to this Sonic because the one down the road was out of ice cream. A working ice cream machine is this Sonic’s only saving grace. The line was wrapped around the lot due to not accepting mobile orders or allowing people to order at the stalls. They also had a sign posted that they cannot sell ice at this time. My husband ordered hot fudge in his blast and they didn’t even put any in. If you want to wait in line forever & have your order be wrong, definitely stop here!

If you are hungry and in a rush, I wouldn’t recommend this location. It can take up to 25 plus minutes just to get to the order window. You can NOT order from any of the drive up spots. The food is normal Sonic food. This location just takes an incredibly long time to order.

Online ordering is disabled, order ahead is disabled, EVERY stall is out of order or closed. The only way to get food here is sit in drive through lines for 20+ minutes. Drinks were wrong, food was over cooked, hot dog was actually gray, tots were hard as rocks and the burger was cold. Would not recommend.

Firstly, Sonic’s menu is often praised by customers for its variety and creativity. The chain offers a wide range of options, including burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and a variety of sides and desserts. Many reviewers also appreciate the unique drink offerings, such as the famous slushies and milkshakes, which are customizable with a variety of flavors and mix-ins.

My neighbor done the mobile app yesterday to order our drinks. We didn’t have to wait very long for our order.

If you’re lucky enough to have 3 cars in line you are guaranteed to wait 20+ mins. Most hours of the day or night the wait in line is at least 30.

Just as I’ve said before, in this town it’s always 50/50 how the food will taste. The people working in the back make a difference.

Great service. Don’t go very often, went for drinks but was pleasantly surprised the drive through didn’t take long at all.
