    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

    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?

    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.

    Don't bother stopping here. Fryer was broken so no fries, tater tots. Messed up order, charged us wrong and took 20 minutes for all of this!

    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.

    The wings were not good at all. Came out cold and didn't seem to be cooked all the way…read more Told the waiter and he said yeah that's probably how they cooked them today... he said he had some and it was the same thing. Inside was clean inside. Service: had to keep asking for refill and never offered to rectify my wing issue.

    I'm not one to leave reviews but this was one of the worst experiences my husband and I have had at…read morea restaurant. There doesn't seem to be any order or organization. We waited 20 minutes to be seated and ordered within 10 minutes. We ordered the nachos as an appetizer (thank goodness we did) -- they were fine but the chips were kind of soggy and all the meat was at the bottom of the pile. It took a while for us to receive them. Definitely something I could've made better at home but good enough. We ordered our entrees at the same time we ordered the appetizers. It took over an hour before our waitress came and asked if we'd received our food yet, and she rarely checked on us before then. Tables that had been seated at least half an hour after us received their food before we did. She told us there was a weird glitch in the system which is why we hadn't received our food, but she wasn't apologetic and didn't do anything to try and make it right. Still charged us full price for everything, not even comping a fountain drink which I had to ask her to fill every time she came by rather than her seeing our drinks were low or empty and taking initiative (like a decent server should). When our food finally came out, it didn't come together. My dish (buffalo mac) came out first and we still waited another 5 minutes for my husband to get his wings. The food was okay. Like the nachos, I feel I could've made something better myself. Definitely not worth waiting an hour and a half for and not worth the $50 we spent. Don't get me wrong-- I understand when an establishment is short-staffed or if it's a busy night (I know a Saturday night will look different than a weeknight), but this was honestly ridiculous. Though it may have been busy, the staff didn't act it. It seems they are not well-trained. I'm also disappointed that our waitress made no effort to improve or redeem our experience. Like one of the other reviews said, it seems they have a good location with a lot of potential, but I would not waste another minute here.
