Sentimental Meaning
While this salty, deep-fried snack is a delicious treat for the lucky artists on Reba’s team, it also holds a sentimental meaning to Reba and her boyfriend, Rex Linn. In an interview with TODAY, Reba disclosed the couple’s adorable nicknames for each other that have stuck since the beginning of their relationship. Last Valentine’s Day, the couple even celebrated with tater tots from Sonic, Reba saying it was a “great Valentine’s dinner.”
“I’m tater tot, he’s sugar tot. We’re the tots.”

This is how you make Reba’s tater tots?
Meyers asked Reba the question we’ve all been waiting for: What is her tater tot recipe? Reba happily obliged and her answer might not be exactly what you’d expect.
“You get in your car and you put it in reverse. Get out of the garage and drive down the road and you find your nearest Sonic. Pull in the entrance, not the exit. And you pull in one of them little slots and you push that red button and you say, ‘Can I have me some tater tots?’ And I hope they don’t say we’re out.”
Reba’s New Restaurant: Reba’s Place
Reba’s Place is located in Atoka, Oklahoma and is a combination of a restaurant, bar, and live music venue, with a “little bitty stage,” dreamt up by none other than the country music superstar herself. Reba talked about how she put together a surprise appearance at the restaurant and funnily enough, while she was singing, the visitors didn’t even notice it was her.
“Nobody said anything. I mean they didn’t even look up from their chicken fried steak. They were serious about it.”
