Sonic has certainly fallen from the heights it once enjoyed. I hadn’t been to a Sonic in a very long time, but while talking with my friend, they mentioned a drink called the Lemon Cream Cooler, which I’d never heard of. Intrigued, we decided to stop by and give it a try.
I’ll say this upfront: I wouldn’t go to Sonic again for the food. The quality has seriously declined, the portion sizes are underwhelming, and overall, the experience was far from enjoyable. I ordered the Cheesy Bacon Supersonic Combo with tater tots and a large Cherry Lemonade.
To Sonic’s credit, the drinks remain its strongest point—they’ve never disappointed me, and this visit was no exception. My Cherry Lemonade was refreshing and flavorful, as expected. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
The biggest issue I have with Sonic’s food is that most of it desperately needs more seasoning. The flavors are bland and uninspired, leaving little to enjoy. On top of that, if you’re going to call a burger the Cheesy Bacon Supersonic, it should live up to the name. This sandwich fell short in every way. The bacon was incredibly thin, barely tasted like bacon, and lacked the crispy, thick-cut quality you’d expect. The cheese was another letdown—the amount was minimal, and their cheese selection felt uninspired and unimpressive.
Sonic’s food today lacks the flavor, creativity, and quality that once made it special. If you’re craving a great burger, look elsewhere. If you want an amazing chili cheese hot dog, you’re better off making it at home or finding another spot. Sonic’s food has lost the magic it used to have.
This particular location was clean on the outside, which was nice, but most Sonic locations I’ve seen are not well-maintained. Even though there weren’t many customers, it took a surprisingly long time to prepare our single meal.
Unless I’m stopping by for a drink, I won’t be returning to Sonic anytime soon. While the drinks are consistently good, the food is simply not worth the trip. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone—grab a drink if you’re thirsty, but find somewhere else for your meal. Here’s hoping Sonic can make a full turnaround and reclaim its former glory.

I just realized that the last time I reviewed this place was quite a few years ago. They underwent a complete revamp a few years back, and they are now absolutely amazing. They are one of my favorite places to eat in town.

Got home and opened the bag and this is what all the tots looked like at the bottom of the bag. Not even in a carton. Totally unacceptable. Next time I’ll check.
Absolutely RUDE! ? do not recommend it, and I will never be back.

My food was stale hard to eat not enough chillies or cheese and I asked for onions and jalapenos and they couldn't even get that right.

One of the cleanest Sonic’s I’ve been to. The manager even came out to ask for something special I had asked them make, to make sure it was correct. Food was generous in size and tasted good. We bought these in the afternoon on the way home so the photos aren’t great but we re-heated the onion rings in the air fryer and they were fantastic!

Don't listen at all whatsoever tried to order a 20 piece buffalo chicken bites ran up as a 7 pc didn't even confirm with us at all. This place is getting worse every time we come here
