"*update* I had to change my review because I spoke with Justin, the manager, and he was awesome. He explained the sour taste was due to overuse of their cheesecake flavor. He promised they were working on retraining the employees to fix the issue and offered to hand deliver the refund to me. Justin was awesome to deal with and completely changed my mind about the store."

"Quick accurate food service. Not a five due to 1st pull in spot was out of order completely and the second one only the audio worked. This included the card reader for payment so was unable to leave a tip for the server. This was a bother to me as I believe in tipping for good service."

"My food was great and out in a timely manner HOWEVER my Co worker ordered a #10 (fish sandwich) ketchup only. He never received his order, he went in the building repeated his order 3x, when the car hop (who was very friendly and apologetic) brought his food out our was still wrong. He left the food there, tipped the car hop and now I'm forbidden to eat lunch there till they can get his order right the next time same location he ordered a LARGE CHILLI CHEESE TOT, they brought a cheese tot, when I told them it was incorrect they brought him a medium chili cheese tot, this time he laughed it off... still love Sonic"

"I'm gonna start off with 4 stars because of the new African American manager and his bravery to take on this store. Our food was fresh at 1030p, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is coming back as Sonic Drive Inn. I really hope the owners do right by the new manager and staff because it is a big difference."

"I’ll be honest… I’ve left your establishment unhappy on many occasions. I’ve even left a bad review or two over the years. Today, my whole outlook changed with just a simple display of kindness and professionalism that is hard to find in the fast food industry. The lady at the drive thru was on top of it today! Her bright smile and positive can-do attitude will take her far in life. There was a wait in line and she was courteous to realize that the line had individuals that were on their lunch break. She handled not only the person in front of me that had a larger order, but took care of me as well. She truly made my day just by being friendly! Thank you!"
