Our initial order arrived in a timely manner, however; the additional order ( just a slush) took a good 15 - 17 minutes. I end up going and getting it myself even though it said car hop was on their way with it. Food was tasty and the shake, ice cream slush and regular slush hit the spot on a hot, muggy night. The food and drinks met our expectations. The car hop was attentive on our initial order. Staffing seemed to drop in numbers while we were there, that may explain the performance of the service dropping. Overall a good experience and we would recommend Sonic. The drive in restaurant is something that I enjoyed as a kid and my family enjoys that experience today. The only difference is the car hops wore roller skates back then and no music today.

Burgers arent as good as they used to be, tough and dry. Too lean and over cooked. Always crowded so youll be there an hour for a meal and dessert. Sonics app has great deals, but it doesnt work 90% of the time. But the staff has a great sense of humor about it even though it must make them work harder. Candy in slushes and shakes is BAD idea. YUK. Fries are good some times, but usually theyre too short, less than 2 inches, so are over cooked. Service too slow. Always packed, so hire more staff. The kids youve got are running their buns off.

I have been going to the sonic location for years. And this is the third consecutive time that theyve managed to mess up my order. Theyre so worried about getting things done fast and cutting people off, that they dont take the time to listen to the order and make sure that its right. How hot is it to listen when a customer says no whip cream? Not to mention the girl working the drive through tonight decided to give me attitude because my order was wrong. I dont think I will be back to this location ever.

Slow to even getting a order taken. Then order wrong it was for another truck so both trucks got each others order. After figuring it out neither of us paid and got icecream for the kids for free. Thanks for giving it away Sonic to bad for your food costs. Food was good service was good but ordering was late and given to wrong customers ..Ill be back maybe ill get free food again

The corndogs are good and cheap. The ice cream slushy is a weird combination that is actually decent, though I would still suggest getting either or. If you want you can eat old-fashioned drive-in style or just hit the drive-through and leave. Its nice to be able to stop and eat if you have a lot of food and a long trip planned. Eating while driving is neither fun nor safe.

If youve never been here you need to visit at least once. The atmosphere is one of a kind. My kids love all the different drinks. I love the shakes selections. Their food is always very hot and served with urgency. The option to eat in car or on their patio is nice. There are always plenty of parking. Drive-thru is available for on the go.

The absolute slowest drive-thru you will ever experience. Even when no one is in line, expect to wait at least 20 minutes for any order you make. With these wait times youre better off going to a sit down restaurant.

They cant split payment up and when i told her i had the rest on my card she acted like i couldnt pay my sons food and i was an awful mother. Hate to say it get with the times, even mcdonalds can do split payment.

The food was actually really good, unfortunately the service, while friendly, was painfully slow. It took right around 20 minutes from the time I pulled up to the drive thru til I got my food.

Horrible customer service. Last time I had a peanut butter cookie dough dream master blast. It did not taste like peanut butter at all but better than the ankeny dairy Queen

I have never had a bad experience when visiting here. The drink combinations are my favorite. Shakes are to die for. Always hot and fresh food!

The food is always hot and service is quick. There is almost always a line here but I am amazed on how fast they can get through everybody.

Drive through, 5:45 is, fairly quick under 5. Chose tator tots as order taker said they real good, but had an off fishy taste to them, odd.

Food is always decent but but usually cold. It never fails to take awhile which would be fine if the food came out hot and fresh.

Got our food to take home only to find that our burgers were under cooked and pink! Tried calling several times with no answer.

Ive been here about 4 times so far. Theyve had fast, friendly service and pretty good food, even during the busy dinner rush.

1/2 price shakes and slushes after 8 pm in the summer. This is great except it takes FOREVER because the place is packed.

The food was alright and the staff were decent. The wait took forever though. Not a place to go if your in a big hurry.

Sonic had a great variety of drink flavor combinations. The picnic area makes it a great spot for summer refreshment.

Good food good ice cream. Only draw back is they can be a bit slow because they are really busy.

People were very nice but hamburgers were dry. Cherry slushies need more cherry flavor in it.

Half Price ice cream after 8, usually pretty busy so it might take a while to get it.
