Sonic Drive-In at 647 North Robinson Drive in Robinson got an 89 on a recent inspection.
According to the food safety worker, the sliced strawberries in the syrup were not kept cool enough.
The manager put them in the walk-in freezer for a rapid chill.
The fountain machine also needed an airgap.

And this week’s Clean Plate award goes to Zuke’s Tea Bar at 720 Franklin Avenue inside Union Hall.
What better way to cool off in this sweltering summer heat.
This place has black teas, herbal teas, green teas, white teas, and the list goes on.
Not that it matters, but my personal favorite is the Tropical Black Tea with hints of dried mango and sunflower and safflower petals...
