Ordered a Oreo sonic blast with chocolate syrup on top and I swear an entire bottle of chocolate syrup was emptied into the blast. It also contained Reese’s peanut butter cups (which I did not order) and I have a slight allergy to peanuts. First time ordering from

They only have one person working with a person does not work on the stalls so anybody waiting at the stores does not get their food or even gets to order the drive-through is horrible. They don’t answer they make you wait for 10 minutes I waited at a stall for 45 minutes. Then I waited in line at the drive-through for another 35 minutes. I will never be going to this place again it’s very unprofessional and they need to learn to hire more people but nobody’s gonna work out a place that looks like it’s run down like the outside of the building is horrible. They used to have an area where you can eat inside now it’s only employees . I will never give this place a five star or even a two star.

They’re always out of everything, they don’t pay attention to the stalls but they don’t tell you; They just leave you to figure it out. Since I was already parked, I sat in the stall taking advantage of the time to look at the menu before going to drive thru. Despite the fact that only one other car even entered the parking lot the service was painfully slow! I sat at the drive thru window with a clear view of 4-5 employees, one of which was telling a story (loudly), while I couldn’t hear the whole story it did involve plenty of swearing which wasn’t what I would’ve preferred with my kids in the car. Whatever it was, it must’ve been good because it captivated his fellow employees and must have had an impact on the incredibly long wait. They didn’t seem to mind the fact I saw and heard this as they completely ignored my presence. This is probably obvious but I will not be returning. Not what I remembered from Sonic in Dallas. Sad.

I ordered a Coca Cola Zero with cherry and vanilla. They apologized for being out of ice for my drink, but for some reason it was warm? It was also flat so it was undrinkable. I had to throw it out. I wouldn’t recommend stopping here.

Pretty convenient place to grab a bite while in a hurry; is fast and tasty. The foot long chili hot dog is really good. Tater tots are always good. And the service is quick. I can recommend it.

the food was good but had a weird experience, pulled up to the drive in order booths and waited for a good 20 minutes, with other cars waiting as well. eventually we gave up and went to the drive thru, and the employee informed us she was the only one working so the drive in was closed. I felt bad and she was very nice but they had cones only in front of two of the drive in booths very nice employee who gave good service but they definitely could tell people instead of making them wait there stupidly while the screen says “someone will be with you soon” forever

Severely understaffed, management needs to stop being greedy and either pay higher to get more employees or allow overtime. Seeing the same trend across the board no one wants to wait an hour for fast food orders that don’t even come out right most of the time fix your issues already our go out of business up to you.

Staff is always friendly here. It can definitely get busy at times. The food is always good here though, so I will be returning. I enjoy coming here and they are equipped with a lot of nice drive in ordering stations. They have a lot of nice photos inside of what Sonics used to look like in previous decades.
