Sonic Drive Inn advertises on tv all over the country, so it's no surprise when it comes up in Hawaii's television market. With that said, Sonic does not have any locations in the islands, so when I have a chance, I would come over here (and Olive Garden) and just enjoy what Sonic has to offer. While Sonic is just another fast food joint, it is kind of cool to be in one of these places out here in Rapid City, SD. I had the #2 combo, which seemed decently good. The restaurant itself reminded me of what basically most fast food restaurants have. I didn't really stay long to enjoy the atmosphere that was Sonic Drive Inn, since I just ran a marathon that morning, and I wanted to hobble back to the Days Inn where I was staying, which was pretty much next door. Too bad there isn't a Sonic Drive Inn in Hawaii, otherwise, I would be all over it. The person who serviced me that fateful day was like, I wish I wasn't here right now, and I could tell it in her voice. There was plenty of parking here, since it was attached to a strip mall in the back of the restaurant, and the restaurant was sitting on the entrance @ Jackson Blvd. After taking my order, she went in the back and subsequently got scolded for using work time to text or make personal phone calls while at work. It was loud enough, so that everyone else in the restaurant at the time, started to giggle with delight. I even caught myself smirking, when I was so tired and needed some food to get me through the afternoon. I thought I would include that tn there. Other than that, I enjoyed my time here at Sonic Drive Inn and hope to see and eat more @ Sonic during my travels around the USA. It's been fun though. Overall, this place is pretty average, but of course, that's what I said about McDonald's and Burger King. Made in the USA! B+

A female employee with dark hair that works the evenings was very rude and disrespectful when I went through the drive thru.

We came here while visiting Rapid City as they had chislic, something South Dakota was known for,…read moreso something we wanted to try! Our server was new, so we had to What we got: *Cheese curds - these were good, but I've had better. *Chislic - we thought these were seasoned and cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed these! *Mushroom and swiss burger upgraded to buffalo meat - this was very tasty and enjoyed. Service was a little slow at times as our server was new. She was overwhelmed, but we understood as it was a busy night. Definitely recommend Thirstys if you are in the area!

This is a nice little place to get a beer and a meal. It's a family-friendly sports bar…read more Just like everywhere else in town, they are understaffed, but the staff is very friendly. I think this must be a family owned place, because at some point, I saw a 13 year old (ish) boy clearing tables and handing out candy at the tables. We were sitting for quite a while before anyone noticed us and brought menus. But once we did get the attention of our waitress, she was very nice. There's a kids menu with the typical offerings. They mostly have the standard beers and a handful of local offerings. I had the hazy pineapple beer, and it was okay. My husband tried a local IPA, and he liked it. I had the fried shrimp and the housemade potato chips. They make their own chips (good, although unevenly salted) and they come with a delicious french onion dip, just like the stuff I remember from childhood. My husband and I couldn't get enough. The menu is otherwise pretty burger-based, but that's fine for a setting like this. They have a pool table that takes quarters. That kept the kids occupied while the adults were able to watch some of the March Madness fun.

We had another great experience at Sear! We went for lunch and were able to order some steaks off…read morethe dinner menu, while one of our guests had a fabulous burger. Steaks were cooked perfection and the onion rings we started with the were delightful - crispy yet tender with a couple of excellent dipping sauces. Cocktails were great! Service was excellent, and the ambience was upscale casual. GO - we love Sear!

Ooh, it's not often that I disagree with Yelp ratings, but something weird is going on with Sear…read more We were promptly seated (even though we were 5 minutes late for our reservation), in a half-filled dining area at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday. Our waiter promptly dropped off menus, but after my wife was undecided on what to order, he left and we didn't see him again for 15 minutes. He was a nice guy, but the staffing level was inadequate for the light traffic. When it came time to order our meals, we were informed that they didn't have their regular carrot or French onion soups, as well as two entrees. As we ordered, he informed us of a 3rd entree that was unavailable. After we ordered, his manager returned to inform us that two of the entrees we had ordered weren't available! I (sulkily) ordered the salmon and a house salad. Now, the house salad is a big bowl of iceberg lettuce with a few radishes, cherry tomatoes and onions. My wife didn't even bother to taste it, and I only ate a third of it. Our entrees were well prepared and nicely presented, but our waiter wasn't able to find his way back to refresh our drinks. After an elongated, two-hour dinner, I was left thoroughly unimpressed. There is something going on here, and my guess is that they are struggling to find staff, pay their suppliers, and maintain quality. I certainly didn't share the experience of other recent reviewers. My suggestion is that you wait for a handful of positive reviews before visiting.

This restaurant was one I found during a trip to Rapid City, SD and through YELP, so shout out to…read moreYELP. This is very much a diner style restaurant in the very best sense of the word, "DINER." The night I dined here, it was somewhat after the usual dinner rush, so the crowds were gone and the hostess led me to a corner booth near the back of the restaurant and handed me a menu. Like many diners you may have eaten at, the menu at COLONIAL HOUSE is huge. As I get older, huge menus are becoming more intimidating because they offer a large volume of selections that you have to choose from while a server is waiting (sometimes not all that patiently). That having been said, there is enough variety on the menu here that if you can't find something you'd like, you are probably a very picky eater. One surprise and also an intimidating one was the humongous portions that are delivered when your plate arrives. I knew immediately that I would not be able to finish the meal and resolved not to try and ask for a take-out box once I ate what I could finish. My dinner (what I managed to eat was excellent) and the server had no problem providing me with a take-out box. The food kept well in my hotel's room fridge and reheated well the next day for lunch. The baked products at COLONIAL HOUSE were a feast for the eyes and I ordered a piece of strawberry shortcake to take with me back to my hotel. Mouthwatering delight! If you are visiting Rapid City and want to completely SKIP over the far too numerous chain restaurants in the area and get far better food brought to you by servers who actually seem to like their jobs and the reputation of their employer, look no further than COLONIAL HOUSE. Just make sure you come with a completely empty stomach and a big appetite.

We went for dinner and we were not the most impressed with what we got. We ordered their prime rib…read moredip, country fried steak, and the pot roast. The dip was soggy and the steak was super greasy. It tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in awhile. The pot roast was the best meal! I gave it a 4 star because their pie and pumpkin torte were INCREDIBLE! They are a place known for their baked goods and it shows. Go for dessert or breakfast. The service wasn't impressive, but everyone has off days so we will let that slide. Go for the baked goods!!
