“I have no words. Truly no words. But I have some words.

This sonic is the peak of all fast food experiences. Quick, easy, filling, and tasty—all boxes are checked and knocked out of the park and body slammed by Helen Keller.
Hesitantly, we pulled up to a sonic parking space. Super big huge ptsd hits me. Last time I was in this position I had the worst experience of my life. I flinch like an abused dog.
I pressed the red button. I hear a voice in the distance asking me what I would like. Oh no. I kinda like chicken I guess. Boom I say chicken sammy and dude says okay. I’ve made it this far, I’ve gotta go all in.
I get a dirty Dr Pepper and tots and a shake and stuff and I go outside of the car.
I feel a tingling go through my body like no other. I see games for kids like me. Holy crap. I sprint to twister. I twist the crap outta myself but I rock it. I win a game of bags. This is going great. I see jenga and turn to play before…
Oh man—the food. Oh the food. It was almost as good as Culver’s. Warm and juicy. It was tasty as flip. A Dr Pepper that was actually dirty, tots and fries and chicken and mozzerella sticks, it’s all there besides… the sauce. My heart sinks. It is as if someone tore my heart right out of my chest. How do I eat a chicken sammy without ranch? It is a crime.

Then I see it. Oh boy, do I see him. Our knight in shining denim. In all of his glory. He had his own spectacular aura around him that shown he would be our savior. Who could I count on other than Jake.
Jake was a special guy. And holy crap did this redeem the great sonic name and more. He brought us our missing packets. Our packets of gold straight from the kitchen. He handed them down with the special touch that could only come from that of an angel. Jake had a smile of warmth and one of a kind swagger. He knew his worth. He knew dang well he was straight from heaven.
Jake left a feeling in my heart nobody could fill. He deserves every cent he earns and more. I could not be where I am without Jake. He brought us those dang packets. He deserves a raise, recognition, and screw it. He deserves a restaurant named after him. I better see his name up there next time I come by. See you next time Jake Sonic.

If I could rate this place 6 stars I would. I am forever changed by this meal and the actions of my fellow Americans. God I love this country.

“I came into Freddy’s recently and just wanted to leave a review because one of the employees really stood out to me. I believe his name was Gabriel. He was super respectful, patient, and had such a positive attitude even while the restaurant was busy. He made sure everything was correct with my order and checked on customers to make sure everyone was taken care of. It’s honestly rare to see workers who are both hardworking and genuinely kind anymore, and he definitely made the experience better. Freddy’s is lucky to have employees like him!
Shout out to gabriel very lovely man.“

“Went there for the first time on Thur 6/19/25 for a sno cone. When I paid my card was charged twice I only noticed because I happened to check my account and saw the two charges. I tried to call them but the # on Google no one answers. So I drove all the way back up there explained the situation they kept questioning me like they didn't believe me even after giving them my phone and letting them look for themselves. They agreed to refund one of the charges had me sign a receipt and I was on my way. Then later that night I was checking my account again and noticed I was charged again so instead of refunding me they charged me again. 😑

Update: (previously 1 star) This has been fixed and they apologized, the person working the card reader was new to using it and we got everything resolved.“

“Steve was absolutely fantastic. His smile and positive attitude are contagious. He was moving orders as quickly as possible, even running at some points. You could tell he cares about his job and goes above and beyond to make sure your order is satisfactory and correct. Give Steve a raise!“
