    She put I'd ordered a plain burger for my kid's meal and yet accused me of me being wrong and then refusing us service.
    Karen B.

    I generally love Sonic and my family was thrilled to see this one as we were traveling home to Arizona. Unfortunately, this was far the worst service I have ever received ANYWHERE. Not only did we wait close to 30 minutes in the drive thru (the only way to order as they weren't taking orders to bring out due to understaffing and no notice), but my order was wrong. When I asked the woman at the counter to please correct it, she told me to pull out of line and they'd get to me when they could. I told her no thank you, I would wait where I was. Her manager (I'm assuming) came out and told me to leave, that they wouldn't be serving me because I was rude. She said they would be refunding my items that they weren't giving me, but that has yet to happen. Justine - the manager who told me to leave - told me that when she read the order back to me, I said everything was correct, so any errors were my fault, not her's. She was actually the person on the speaker, taking the orders. I ordered a kid's meal with a plain burger and received a burger with everything on it. On my receipt, it says burger plain. On top of that, the food we did receive wasn't hot or fresh. Mostly cold and we ended up having to get food later down the road because this was inedible and my 8 year old didn't get her food at all. Very, very disappointed in this restaurant. Highly recommend you go anywhere else in North Platte.

    Tater tots fried in old or burnt oil
    Lara W.

    Yes we had to wait a little bit for our food....had 4-5 cars infront of us and 2 drove off without their order but when we got to the window, the lady was very friendly & didn't show any frustration. Give people a break, times are hard right now in the world between the economy going to crap and so many people not working right now. The only negative thing I will say is that they need to change their cooking oil. Our tater tots were dark and so were our fries and they tasted like burnt oil :( Everything else was great

    Every time I've been to sonic I've waited 15 minutes or more to be served regardless of drive in or drive through. Horrible service

    Horrible service. Been to sonic 3 times in a week and each time it took well over 15 minutes to get my food at the drive through

    6+ Car line for a pickup order?
    Skyler S.

    Huge fan of sonic in general, but the fact that you can not use the drive in ordering machines to get a pick up order off of the app is ridiculous. I just waited 10+ minutes for a cold burger because, "they can't run it out." Not only that, 4 cars behind me all left because the menu on the app is not even accurate. I ordered the bacon jam cheeseburger and they don't even have bacon jam. This was the absolute worst "fast" food experience i have ever had. Needless to say but don't use the sonic app to order your food unless you know no ones in the drive thru or your food might as well be thrown away and replaced with food from somewhere that can get your order out in 5 mins tops. not 25.

    Cherry flavored strawberry slush. Weird?
    Francis J.

    This sonic takes 1st prize for being the worst sonic in existence. The service was slow and the employees seemed rude and offbeat. Both of the times I visited, the drive-in stalls weren't being used for their proper use (or at all) and took up to fifteen minutes to get a reply. While just passing through NP I was hoping to get a quick treat, so I picked up my phone and put in an order. Upon arrival, my order should have been ready to go, but to my surprise it was not. I waited ten minutes before pressing the red button to question my order. When I finally got a reply, I was NOT happy. They have the audacity to tell me that they aren't using the stalls and that I would have to pull around to the menu. Thirty minutes and no apology later, I have a slushy in hand. Everybody deserves a second chance and I was craving a strawberry slushy. I placed my order online to ensure a speedy transaction. When I arrived I saw some employees outside and knew for certain I could use the stalls...(or so I thought). I pulled all the way around to the west side stalls (which apparently are used for employee parking). I pushed the red button right away to make sure my first incident didn't happen again. I guess the button doesn't matter because I sat and waited for fifteen minutes before a reply told me to pull to the east side of the building. Normally I'd drive off, but I had already paid for my order via. Sonic App. Now in a east side stall, I sat and waited another whopping ten minutes as the flashing red light mocked me. Moments later I was met face to face to be sadly informed that they were out of strawberry. At this moment, there was nothing I could do but wait. As I waited I notice multiple other orders being taken out instead of them going back and fixing mine right away. Forty-five minutes later I left with no coupons, no apology, and a different flavored slushy then I even wanted. Some type of action needs to take place because this sonic is a disgrace to the name. A change of management and a visit from corporate would probably be a good starting point. My recommendation to anybody wanting to stop here would be "don't".

    I have never received something in the drive-through that was half melted when they handed it to me.

    As soon as we pushed the "get started " button a very pleasant young woman came out and apologized the speaker didn't work and took our order.

Practically perfect in every way. Amelia and the rest of the staff were attentive, genuinely welcoming, and kept everything running seamlessly from start to finish. Both of us ordered the Prime Rib Dip with fries--and wow. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, with not a trace of fat or gristle. The rich, savory au jus added even more depth, and the horseradish sauce brought just the right amount of kick to complement every bite. Even the fries arrived hot, crisp, and satisfying after a full day on the road. Although we visited on a Monday and missed the live piano music, the warm atmosphere, outstanding food, and exceptional service more than made up for it. North 40 Chophouse delivered an experience that was well worth the stop, and we'll gladly return the next time our travels bring us through North Platte.

Our…read moreserver, Kayla, was very professional, never let our drinks get empty, and had great recommendations. We got the Brussel Sprouts for an app. They had a delicious sauce and they were cooked to perfection. The French Dip was the real star of the show. The meat was so tender and was probably the best French dip I ever had. The sweet potato fries come with a marshmallow/cinnamon dipping sauce that is very good if you like your sweets. We polished off dinner with the salted caramel lava cake. It was delightful. It was so refreshing to be surprised by how wonderful this restaurant was and how nice the employees were. I can't wait to come back someday

    We were driving across country and decided to pull over in North Platte for the evening. I looked…read morefor a restaurant recommendation and found The Cedar Room. We walked in and there are two large rooms, one dining and one bar/dining area. There is a small bar at the far end that sits around 6 or seven people. We were sat near the window and our server was Penny who was excellent. Penny constantly checked in with us and we were never left wait for service. When it came to ordering wine/cocktails, we were immediately put off by the price of wine. The bottles have an approximate 75% mark up on retail. Way overpriced. You don't see these prices even in the most expensive of steakhouses in my opinion. A glass of wine was the price of a bottle at retail. We elected to go with cocktails. For appetizers, we ordered the Wild Mushroom Brie & Ciabatta. $19 Seared Brie Cheese, brandy glazed belle mushrooms, balsamic reduction, fig chutney; served with Ciabatta toast points. This was good. Cowboy Calamari. $19 Breaded Flat iron sirloin steak bites, fried; served with gravy. I was so looking forward to these but I couldn't even taste the meat.....at all! They were so overly breaded and the steak cut so thin that we felt we were just eating the breading. The gravy was tasty but we couldn't finish the steak bites as we just didn't taste any steak. We split a Cedar Room Wedge. $16 Iceberg, bacon bits, tomatoes, cucumbers, blue cheese crumbles; served with dressing of choice. They split it on two plates and basically did a deconstructed salad. It was fine. After not having a great experience with the food and prices of their wine, we elected to leave and skip the dinner. Although we loved our server Penny and it was a cute establishment, we probably would not return.
