Sonic Drive-In — Restaurant in Willis

Cornhole Chaos at the Willis Sonic Drive-In

Once upon a sizzling summer day in Willis, Texas, my friends and I decided to embark on a culinary adventure. Our destination? The Sonic Drive-In—a place where carhops roller-skate, onion rings are considered a food group, and the slushies come in more colors than a unicorn’s dream.

As we pulled into the parking lot, the sun beat down on our heads like an overenthusiastic drummer. We squinted at the menu, trying to decipher the cryptic language of fast food. “What’s a ‘Supersonic Double Cheeseburger’?” my friend asked. “Is it faster than a regular double cheeseburger?”

I shrugged. “Probably. But only if you eat it while riding a rocket.”

We placed our orders, and the carhop—a cheerful soul named Melissa—whizzed over on her skates. She handed us our food with a flourish, and I swear I saw her do a pirouette before gliding away. Melissa was our hero, our beacon of fried goodness.

But then we noticed something magical: cornhole boards. Yes, you read that right. The same game you play at backyard barbecues, but now in the hallowed grounds of the Sonic parking lot. It was like stumbling upon a unicorn grazing on tater tots.

My friends and I exchanged glances. “Cornhole?” I said. “At a Sonic? This is destiny.”

We grabbed the bean bags—each one adorned with a miniature Sonic logo—and positioned ourselves in front of the boards. The rules were simple: toss the bag into the hole and earn eternal glory (or at least a free slushie refill).

Round 1: The Great Bean Bag Fiasco

My buddy Dave stepped up first. He wound up like a human windmill and launched the bag. It sailed through the air, did a loop-de-loop, and crash-landed in the neighboring parking space. We all cheered. “Three points for creativity!”

Round 2: The Battle of the Slushies

My turn. I aimed for the hole, channeling my inner cornhole champion. The bag wobbled mid-air, hesitated, and then—splash!—landed in my cherry limeade. I raised my arms in victory. “That’s a flavor upgrade!”

Round 3: The Unexpected Rivalry

Suddenly, a minivan pulled into the spot next to us. Out stepped a family—the Cornhole Pros. They wore matching team shirts and had a cornhole trophy strapped to their roof. Their matriarch, Gloria, glared at us. “You think you can beat us?”

Challenge accepted.

Round 4: The Epic Showdown

The Pros were ruthless. Gloria’s bean bags hit the hole with laser precision. Her teenage son, Chad, executed a flawless spin move while tossing. And their dog, Mr. Pickles, barked encouragement.

But we had a secret weapon: our slushies. As Gloria aimed for victory, I slurped my blue raspberry slushie and belted out, “Gloria, you’re gonna lose! Your bean bags are jealous of my brain freeze!”

She missed. We cheered. Victory was ours.

Round 5: The Post-Cornhole Celebration

We high-fived, hugged, and danced a victory jig. Melissa the carhop joined in, twirling on her skates. The Pros grumbled and retreated to their minivan, defeated.

And so, in the sweltering Texas heat, we discovered that Sonic wasn’t just about burgers and tots. It was a place where dreams came true, where bean bags soared, and where slushies fueled our cornhole conquest.

As we drove away, I glanced back at the cornhole boards. “Till next time, Sonic,” I whispered. “Till next time.”

And that, my friends, is how we turned a fast-food pit stop into an epic cornhole battle. Willis, Texas, will forever remember the day the Sonic parking lot became our arena of triumph.

The End (with extra cheese and a side...

If i could give this place negative stars I would. Boyfriend went here to get him and I and 5 kids some items. He tried to order and the RUDE lady kept cutting him off, rushing him through his order. He tried to tell her he was not done and she never came back on the speaker. He pulled up to the car hop area and waited. Car hop came out and brought the part of the order that went through and my boyfriend explained that he was not done ordering and asked to order the remaining 2 items. She took his order then came back out to state that we had to wait for the other 7-9 cars to be served because its first come first serve (which we all know is a lie because they bring drinks out immediately to people instead of making them wait.) So he told her this was unacceptable because all he was waiting on was one cup of vanilla ice cream and 1 drink, if he waited that long the other ice creams would be melted-- makes no sense, not to mention they cut him off he was still ordering this was not an add on of something he forgot. . She proceeded to yell at him and tell him "I am not your servant I am your server." He asked for the manager she stomped off like a child and the manager NEVER came out. He didn't get the additional order and had to stop at a Valero to get drinks and an ice cream for my 4 year old. My blast was wrong and tasted like the ice cream was sour. My boyfriend is very calm and level headed, he had a car full of kids and there should not have been an employee of this establishment yelling at him. Clearly he was not going to yell back with all these kids in the car, so he asked for a manager who also failed to do their job. He tried to call while in the parking lot and watched them ignore the phone. It was a total mess. The only reason people go to places like this is for the convenience and the food taste good sometimes It is no longer convenient when you pay $25 for some ice cream and a drink, then have a crappy attitude from an employee AND still have to stop somewhere else to get the rest of...

I never go to comment on anything but I hope hopefully this waste the store up because managers aren't doing their job if I get a hamburger and the edges of that Patty's dry that means it's been the hold for more than the required time it was supposed to be in there so it means those patties should have been thrown out but instead they still serve them quality of the food was bad I just got a burger and it take me 4 minutes when there's no fries no drink nothing included I know for a fact there average time needs to be at 2:20 2:30 at the most. Even on 50 cent corn dog night I got stale corn dogs which they should be hot and fresh on a day like that because they should be putting them in and out to me they're over stacking the fryers put in too many in there and keeping too many in the hole. I've worked at Sonic a lot of times I just left the Sonic will we strive on quality I even called the shop to tell him about the corn dogs and she couldn't understand what I was saying and it hung up on me. Take pride in your work no matter what it is because that's how you're going to treat life I come from a store where customers were treated right and quality was very very important if you're afraid there's going to be a rush and you cook too much food try to figure your numbers out better managers watch the food in the hole Cooks you cook everyday you know what times people come in and when they don't come in have just enough don't cook more than five patties when it's late at night when it's slower I really hate doing this but I love Sonic and to come twice and it be that bad I'm blaming...
