“Freddy's is one of my favorite fast food places. They have a special fry sauce you can buy bottles of within their locations (or at your local grocery) and a special seasoning I really love. The tots are better than Sonic by a longshot, and more quantity. The fries are smaller than McDonald's fries, but more consistent in how they are cooked/texture. They have old fashioned burgers and their frozen custard is delicious as well. Recently tried their onion rings and was impressed by those as well. I don't like the crumbly breading most far food places use. Freddy's is similar to beer battered, a nice thin layer of crispy goodness. Overall a great place if you are hungry, just want a snack, or something sweet.“

“We have always loved Chick-fil-A. My daughter is working there now and management, and everyone are wonderful. Sadly, I’ve heard a few stories of incredibly rude and disrespectful customers, which happens everywhere, and it’s so discouraging to hear the rudeness and disrespect from horrible customers. So I wanted to say thank you and I think you all are wonderful managers, owners, and always been delicious, clean, safe with food, etc. 🐔❤️“

“I enjoyed this place, a small drive up sit in your vehicle and get some good food and great rootbeer float. If looking for something new or new to the area, I recommend stopping in. I ordered the chili dog and chili cheese fries with a root beer float. They have a jib hamburger that's like a sloppy Joe, pretty good, and several other options worth giving it a try. Just a heads up, make sure to take cash, but the sign said local checks are OK. The building is on the back side of the street, so you might miss it if you are going down the main street. Just informational. Service was great, and the chili and rootbeer is homemade, I believe the lady informed me.“

The store had a computer system outage a couple weeks ago and I received an incorrect order, so I reached out and they made it right immediately. And I mean they responded to my email within 15 minutes. Ive been going to this location for over a decade and it's consistently high quality with great staff.“

“Love this place. Talk about comfort food and eating! I dont think I've ever gave a straight 5 stars across the board before. This place is worth you time and money. For a cheese burger combo ( which the burger is huge and tons of fries) is around $13. My favorite is definitely the chocolate shakes with the cool whip on top! Enjoy!!“

Felt bad coming in so close to close, but the employee behind the counter was super friendly and genuinely cared about my experience and if I would be returning. Great experience and the pizza was amazing 👍“

“Thank you for the Amazing customer Service. The evening crew& manager went above & beyond. my kids & I were treated with the true definition of Respect & Proper Customer Service! Sun evening right before closing time we stopped by to get ice cream for my kids birthday & were greeted with such great mannerism.
I wish I knew the name of the guy manager & 2 young ladies working so that they could get the recognition that they deserve.
The store owners need to know that they have THE BEST NIGHT CREW THAT I'VE ENCOUNTERED IN THE PAST 4YRS. I'VE BEEN in the Customer Service work field for almost 20yrs & I finally found a team that worked together, maintained professional mannerisms &made us feel welcomed!
To the young adults that worked on 3-2-25 Sunday after 9pm, I want to thank you. The store was clean & even with a line of cars in the drive through, you all still treated us with compassion.
Be proud of yourselves... Y'all deserve a raise. I truly appreciate the kindness we were treated with even when you were really busy and ready to go home!“

Zylon had excellent customer service and even provided me with recommendations when I wasn't sure in what to order. He was also accommodating to my special requests and efficient in servicing other customers that came after me. Many kudos to Zylon and I hope that his managers realize they have a very personable, hard worker on their team.“

“This is by far my favorite Sonic. Their breakfast burritos are so much better tasting and made than any other location I've been to. My only issue and it's not just at this location. But if you have a stall that does not work or does not accept checking in through the app, put a marker or something on the edge so customers know. It's very very frustrating, especially during busy times.“
