    Frito chili cheese wrap
    Jason H.

    The tater tots were good The frito chili cheese wraps are a joke Chicken slinger was good Bacon cheeseburger was good Didn't ask if we wanted any condiments and there weren't any in the package. Service is so so. Sadly I can't really recommend

    I absolutely love sonic. I came here when I was just a little kid to get the shakes. I remember first time I tried them was in Kansas, Garden City. I fell in love with this place. Back then I remember they use to come to your car with skates, but I have come this this one twice and I haven't seen them do that. I love the style of this fast food place. It is very different than any other fast food restaurant I am use too. They have a drive-thru and drive-in. The drive thru is like any other drive-thru where you just drive up and order your food. The drive-in is a little different. You find a parking space and drive-in. There are menus on both sides of the windows. One of the them is a food menu and the other is a shake menu. They have so many shakes to choose from. You can even custom make one if you like. They make your shake anyway you want it. Just ask for it and they make it. FYI:They have happy hour after 8! I drove in to one of the spots and saw the menu. There was so much to choose from. Everything looked so good and mouth watering. I tried the Super Sonic double bacon cheeseburger with tater tots. When they asked me if I wanted fries or tater tots I knew I had to try the tater tots. They were bomb!!! My husband also really enjoyed the bite of my burger he stole. He chose the chili cheese hot dog and baja jalapeno hot dog. He gave me a bite of each and I thought they were so good. The food was amazing. We went on a busy night and there were a lot of cars. When I pressed the button it took them about 5 minutes to respond. I though it was broken, but when he finally responded he apologized for the wait. He took our order and was very nice over the speaker. We paid with a card and you just slide it under the menu and you are all done. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. Last time I came it was faster but like I said it was a busy night. The food was hot and it was so good. I will be coming back every chance I get. The lady that took our food was very nice as well. Great customer service and great food. What else can you ask for?

    This is the closest Sonic from my house and my daughter's school so when we feel like getting slushies, route 44 flavored drinks or midnight ice cream cravings, this is our go-to place. They serve half prices on some items when it's off peak hours and I always get sucked into it. :) This place is always with a customer specially during school hours specially students because it's close to a Stiern middle school. Servers are always nice and smiling. Never had an issue with this place so I'm definitely coming back....for more!

    If I could give it no stars I would lol the person taking the order sounded like he hates this place & took more then 20 minutes to get our order to our car. Only 2 people working which is pretty much self sabotage cuz they should at least have 3 for the amount of cars that came through. NEITHER employees were wearing gloves or face masks (COVID time) the guy was handling money, preparing food & sending out food and NOT once did he wash his hands. TERRIBLE. I love sonic and was looking forward to eating but when I got our order a PUBIC hair was in my tater tots. The lady who brought our order was blonde the hair was black. Had no problem with her, seems like she's trying the best to do her job. The guy tho needs an attitude check cuz if homeboy is a a manager welp he needs some real work

    Sonic is great! They always make the best food and drinks! Try the vanilla Dr. Pepper or Cherry Limeade! Chili cheese tots are also great!

It was our first time trying, I'd heard good things on Facebook as well as yelp and Scherb's did not disappoint. We were offered small samples before making our decision. My wife ordered a single scoop of Dragon Fruit which she loved, I ordered 2 scoops (1 mint n chip & 1 white pistachio) on a waffle cone. The ice cream was fantastic, the owners were very friendly. And definitely made us feel Well taken care of. This is a perfect place to bring the family on a hot day. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a sweet treat. Always happy to support a local business.

Unfortunately we heard that they have closed that location during the winter months. They ate now located on the Eastside which for us is a lot closer!!!! They have a spot in the City Sandwich establishment. Which to me is a win win!!! I love City Sandwich and I really love the awesome ice cream from Scherbs!!!! I had the opportunity yo be a taste tester of their ice cream sandwich which was outstanding. Their awesome ice cream paired with a delicious chocolate chip cookie was one of the best I've had. City & Scherbs will be extending their hours soon. Right now the hours are only till 5pm. If you have a chance this is a must try!!!!!

Their creations are ALWAYS on fire & they have so many to choose from. Currently, the Falling in Chocolate creation they have for Valentine's Day is my favorite. It's creamy, has delicious brownies in it & it just hits the spot. The store is usually clean, as well as the restroom. The area inside is pretty large compared to the other location & there's seating outside as well. Customer service is hit or miss though. Sometimes, we're greeted with warm welcomes & other times, it's like they can't wait to get you out the door. The latter being more frequent. I hope the young people who work here realize how capable this location is but their attitude definitely makes or breaks the experience as a whole.

Disgusting!!! I was appalled, I snapped one picture while I waited and walked right out after seeing this. I also noticed cash on the counter where it's evident food is prepared on and that's just unsanitary, I wish I would have had the guts to take a picture of that. I don't recommend this location at all!

The possibilities are endless. So many types of fruit and candy/topping options! It was hard to decide so I let the guy add a variety of tamarindo candies to my fresh fruit. All of the fruit was sweet and the candies were delicious!! This location also serves crepes by Cafe Crepes. They look very good and have a variety of options to choose from. The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars is because there was only one person working and the wait was long when there were only 2 people in front of me.
