"Went to this location and found the place very clean and I ordered a meal and it came out very fresh and delicious. The young man Jwaun was my carhop and his smile and enthusiasm made me just have to smile. I will be going back as we have family in the area and definitely will stop back by to get a bite to eat. The service is definitely friendly and the food is fresh and delicious."

"This particular Sonic is good for the most part. Food is freshly made, expeditiously delivered and almost always correct. Having too many bad attitudes, and following a set menu, is the only reason for the 4 stars."

"Sonic is pretty good. My only complaint is timing. It's not all that fast which isn't bad because the food is hot & fresh."

"It's America's Drive in and the food is good and the service is fast. The carhops are wonderful and work really hard for less than minimum wage in most cases. They are underappreciated and people should tip them more. As far as the food and drinks and desserts and service, I like Sonic and this one is no different. 5 stars."
