“Freddy's double cheeseburger, tater tots, drink and hot fudge sundae came to $18.62. Repeat customer. My burger was a slight bit salty, but otherwise it was awesome. *Update* June 28 2026 I ordered a steak burger bowl and hot fudge sundae to go. No bacon in the bowl at all, and sauce was missing. Sundae was good but a little high filled so by the time I took it to go and opened the top it burped vanilla down the sides like a volcano. See photos.“

“Went through the drive-thru this morning to get some breakfast. The young lady who took my order was kind and polite. It made my morning. She made sure I had plenty of cream and sugar for my coffee.“

“Stopped by sonic this morning and service was quick!! Our food looked absolutely amazing!! I got the super sonic cheeseburger and my husband got one of the wraps. They were beautifully made. We also got a side order of the tater tots, and surprisingly they weren't heavy on the grease. Tasted air fried. Overall very satisfied with our experience!! I have to give a huge shout out to the cook, I believe he goes by JJ!! He really seems to love his job, because it shows in the artwork of his food!!! If you want picture perfect food please go see him, I believe he works in the mornings!!“

“The lady who treated us was So nice and she smiled the whole time and she even asked us if our cookie looked right just in case and she let me change a cookie and the cookies were amazing not baked to deal hard but not underbake to wear. They’re literally just cookie dough, but I do like how they have that cookie dough feeling.“

“Great variety of coffee drinks, baked goods, rolled ice cream, shakes and sandwiches. Great value and super nice staff“

“On 10/4/25 we placed an order for our 11 yr old daughter (30 minis) to take to school for her BETA Club. To make a long story short the employee working that night didn't want to bake the cookies and tried to cancel the online order. Manager got involved after we left the store and promised the cookies to us the same night. Sent a family member to pick the cookies up since we don't live near the store. Thinking the cookies were lovely like they usually are she didn't check them. They looked raggedy and I guess that employee didn't like being forced to do her job. Contacted the manager with a picture of the mess & was directed back to the store. New day, new staff. I was greeted by Josie & Oliver who proved to be amazing young adults. They handled the situation like true professionals. I went in feeling let down and unappreciated as a customer. When I left I was happy and smiling. Thank you to the manager, Josie & Oliver for making right what was once wrong. To the female who tried to steal my joy & break the spirit of an 11 yr. old, customer service is an art form and you do not possess the skills required. Customer service is for those who care and obviously you don't. Hopefully the next time we visit Crumbl you won't be there because you definitely can not help me with anything.“

“Love the ice cream, best I’ve ever had. And I have had ice cream in many places. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. My favorite flavor is Chai Spice, but all other flavors are pretty tasty! 😋 😍“

“I order consistently.
Pros: tastiness of the cookies. Size. Only had a few that seemed a tad too small.

Cons: sometimes there’s a wait (patience is a virtue), they stopped carrying bags with handles, no sticker without an additional fee? Pretty odd considering I order these for customers who always love receiving Crumbl cookies.“

“You can not go wrong with Rita's. Our family loves the custard and Italian ice!“

“Wonderful! Lowkey, casual spot with delicious food. We had sushi and boba milk tea. The $5 sushi specials far exceeded expectations! And other sushi rolls were also delicious! We will keep this in our list for when we travel between here and the coast.“

“I enjoy Got Milk cereal bar. The staff is very friendly, and very knowledgeable. It is very kid friendly. I would recommend.“

“Many great flavors! I really enjoyed this and Gong Cha at the same time. I would recommend it if you want ice cream in the 5 Points area that isn't overly sweet but very flavorful. The ice cream isn't as fluffy as regular ice cream but is so much richer.

Dietary restrictions: Mainly dairy.“

“I live in Ohio but every time I visit my family in Lexington, I have to visit here at least a few times! Best frozen yogurt anywhere I have ever tried, and the staff and ownership could not be sweeter! I'll be back down in a few days and plan on getting my elderly mother here!“

“Good vibes, great cookies and drinks, even better staff! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.“

“Dragon’s Breath is not just a dessert spot — it’s an experience. From the moment you walk up, you can tell the place is clean, well-designed, and inviting.

The desserts are on another level — rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and presentation that actually makes you want to take a picture before you even dig in. I tried a couple of their shakes and chocolate desserts, and everything was perfectly balanced — not overly sweet, just right.

Service was fast, friendly, and professional, even during busy hours. The staff clearly knows what they’re doing and keeps things running smoothly.

If you’re anywhere nearby and craving something sweet, this place is 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Excellent ice cream! We tried three of the Signature Creations: Apple Pie A La Cold Stone, Birthday Cake Remix, and Founder's Favorite. All of them were absolutely amazing. The staff did a great job mixing everything together. Highly recommend!“

“We went to Baked Bear on Saturday, January 7th. When we got there, the line was out the door (it's delicious so I get it). As we get inside I realize this 1 girl is working alone. Her name was Natasha I believe. She was amazing. She welcomed each person when they came in, had a smile on her face the entire time, and made us all some delicious treats. This girl deserves a raise and a bonus! If I owned a business I would be trying to take her from you 😁. It very unusual to see this kind of work ethic these days, especially from someone so young. I hope the manager/owner reads this message and realizes the gem of an employee you have. Also, your cookies are delish!“

“The ice cream is wonderful! We always bring people who visit us here for a treat. My husband is somewhat put off by one of the young girls who works there. Says she will roll her eyes if the kids are too slow ordering. I've only witnessed this once and yes, I do try to hurry the kids along to be courteous to the families behind us but hey, we've waited in line too and our guests are always new to this ice cream shop so hopefully the workers will try to be patient when little ones are their customers.“

“Great ice cream! So many flavors and toppings to choose from. Coming back!“

“Love sonic milkshakes but actually ordered food as well the other day. Smash burger, fries or totts and a drink for 6 dollars and it was really good! If your like me and like sonic ice, know that they also sell bags of ice! Yes you can have sonic ice everyday!“

“Have not been in a couple of years, tried it again and it was terrible! Burnt patties, gross.“

“Excellent service !! Thank you so much“

“Taylor went above and beyond in customer service, a truly uplifting experience that will inspire me to return and continue to spread the word about his exceptional service. I stop by a sonic almost daily and his customer serve knocked it out of the park. Will definitely be back!!!“
