The manager WHITNEY was very nice and more then accommodating in a payment situation i had at her location in RAYVILLE. She deserves a raise and should be recognized for her managerial skills and professionalism she displayed on Wednesday January 22nd. Will definitely go back to this location where others I will not do to the complete opposite as well as serving garbage food. But not this location it's a great

Recently renovated and staff is wonderful. If you like sonic ice, ask for extra in your drink, occasionally a lil short on ice but drinks aren't watered down. Use App!

It was a quick visit during a ride home. We placed a mobile order and we had almost no wait when we pulled up. That's always great because Sonic's, for me, don't have a good track record for time spent waiting. There also was no issues with order having made it via mobile and we got exactly what we wanted.

Always quick and great food. I've frequented many Sonics in the area and this is one of the best I've visited. Edit: 08/27/25 Well see this is what happens. I leave a really good review and things start going down hill. Between the card readers and kiosk displays not working and some of the folks just acting like they'd just rather be at home, it's become more of a hassle to visit one of my most favorite place to eat. Whoever is in charge of this facility needs to get things working and a team that cares. Just my two cents.

It takes way too long for the order to come out, when ordering ahead in the app. Order should have been ready for pickup at 11 AM, according to the app. It was nearly 10 minutes after 11 when the order arrived. The vehicle that arrived after us, and ordered at the stall, received their order before we did.

Very good Super Sonic Breakfast burrito at this location, lots of ingredients. I've had some from other locations in the past that were mostly the shell and cheese. My only quibble is that they let me order a Route 44 soft drink and didn't remind me that the 32oz "Large" soft drinks were on sale for 99 cents. I could have gotten two Large soft drinks for less than what I paid for the Route 44.
