Just my husband & I, almost hungry but not really, had time to kill before our next appointment, didn’t want to sit in a waiting room, what to do? Go to SONIC get a BLAST! He got the Oreo, I got the Cookie Dough! And oh my goodness they were delicious. Ordered on the app on our way there, paid with my card tip included just before driving in. Entered booth # as soon as we parked and in no time a very nice, smiling young lady brought our treats out. This was @ the SONIC on Prien Lake Rd near Enterprise Blvd. Thank you to the nice staff for a pleasant mid morning treat. ☺️

The employees are polite but for me it’s about the drinks. I ordered 4 route 44 drinks, 3 of them tasted like the sodas were made with dish water. Absolutely disgusting. Beware of buying sodas from this location.

I like Sonic ice tea & go there frequently to buy it. I love that I can add fresh lemon and/or lime to the tea. I typically use the sonic app to get it 50% off. Makes this a nice, inexpensive treat.

My order has been wrong more times than not. I’ve had great service then horrible service. I encountered a very rude carhop with eye rolling and attitude. I totally understand being busy and it being frustrating, however; I’m the customer. More people need to remember the customer is why they have a job in the first place.

I really want to give no stars! I sat this morning for 32 minutes and left with no breakfast! Oh, I neglected to also say that there were only 4 other cars there besides me so they weren’t swamped. The car hop came to my car and apologized and said they were almost done but nothing. I finally just pushed the button and asked for my money back. This is why I never stop at This location
