This sonic location was absolutely amazing. Sidney was nice, the food was ALL fresh, and hot. And the cheddar bites were unlike any other location I have been too. It was almost like they had different cheese inside. I would drive out of my way for this sonic location.

Chris was very professional and patient while our kids debated what they wanted for their drinks. He is definitely a great asset for the company.

4 , it was alright. Decent prices, service wasn't horrible so you probably won't get let down going here if you plan too.

I've come back to edit my review. Not only did management reach out to me about the bad experience we had, but also, I haven't encountered this individual since. There is even a lady there that always brings me a fork even when I don't ask her because she sees the breadless sandwiches. She is the sweetest car hop. I really appreciate this Sonic caring about our allergies. My daughter and I go every Saturday morning after her soccer game and it's a good routine.

Chicken sandwich. It was good, but like most chicken sandwiches it needed some extra pickles!

So glad they are back in business here in El Reno. My bacon cheese burger was hot & fresh bacon was crispy but not over cooked and my chili cheese tots were great!! It had just the right amount of chili and cheese. Very pleased, keep whoever is working food prep and give them a raise. They are doing a great job

I like the oversized vehicle trailer drive thru. I was surprised and thankful for this being an option.
