Sonic sits in the budget bracket of the fast food category, which the $ price range on this page reflects. Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK, the brand has built its menu around a core set of items that repeat across every location, with regional additions in some markets. That consistency is why a menu guide is useful: the lineup is broadly the same wherever you go, while the price attached to each item is set locally by the franchise owner. For ordering and the brand's own nutrition disclosures, Sonic publishes an official site, which we link at the top of this page.
Sonic splits its menu into 5 sections: Breakfast, Burgers & Dogs, Drinks & Slushes, Shakes & Desserts, and Kids Meals. The menu lists 56 items in total. Top sellers include Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich, Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit, Patty Melt, and Smash Burger. Every item on this page shows its price and calorie count where we have it, plus common allergens, so you can compare before you order.
These items show up on most Sonic orders.
Expect Sonic prices from $2.99 to $9.49 across the menu. A typical item runs about $5.68. The cheapest pick is the Strawberry Lemonade at $2.99, and the Classic Omelette sits at the top of the menu around $9.49. Prices change by location because franchise owners set their own pricing, so treat these as a guide rather than a quote. Airport, stadium, and highway rest-stop branches usually price higher than a standard street location.
Sonic items span roughly 0 to 961 calories each. The average item lands near 424 calories. That spread matters if you are watching intake, since the lighter end of the menu can be a third of the heaviest plate. 44 items carry allergen notes on this page, covering the common ones: milk, wheat, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts. Preparation shares equipment at most locations, so cross-contact is possible even when an ingredient is not listed. If you have a severe allergy, confirm with staff and check the brand's official allergen guide before ordering.
Sonic keeps a mix of budget picks and full meals across 56 items. Items under $6.00 include Bacon Breakfast Burrito at $2.99, Iced Tea at $2.99, Lemonade at $2.99, and Strawberry Lemonade at $2.99. Combos and bundles usually beat ordering the same items separately, and the Sonic app is where most of the discounts live, including first-order offers and rotating deals. Ordering through a third-party delivery service typically costs more than the in-store price, since menu prices are often marked up before fees are added.
Sonic handles dine-in, takeout, and drive-thru at most stores, with delivery through the app or partner services where offered. Mobile ordering lets you skip the line and customize items before you arrive, which is the fastest route at peak times. Larger orders and catering are available at many locations, though catering usually needs advance notice and may run from a shorter menu than the one listed here. Availability of each channel depends on the individual store.
Sonic operates restaurants across the country. Open the locations page to find a Sonic near you with its address, phone number, and store hours. Hours vary by store and by day, and holiday hours often differ from the regular schedule. Some branches run extended or late-night hours while others close earlier, so it is worth checking the individual location page or calling ahead before a late trip.
A few things worth knowing before you order at Sonic: breakfast runs on its own schedule and usually stops in the late morning, so go early if that is what you want, kids meals cost less than full-size portions and suit smaller appetites, drink sizes and add-ons move the price, so a large costs more than the base figure listed, desserts sit at the lower end of the price range and work as an add-on, and checking the app before you order is the simplest way to cut the total. Prices and availability on this page are estimates gathered from public sources and reviewed by our editors, so confirm anything time-sensitive with the restaurant directly.
This Sonic menu page is compiled by our editorial team from the brand's own published menu, its app, and in-store menu boards, then cross-checked against more than one location so regional items are not mistaken for national ones. Every item is recorded with its category, price where we can verify one, calorie count where the brand publishes it, and the common allergens it carries. We re-check the page on a rolling schedule and after each seasonal launch, and the visible updated date at the top tells you how current the information is. We are an independent directory: Sonic does not review, approve, or pay for this page, and no brand can buy a better write-up. If you spot an item or price that looks wrong, send us the restaurant and the exact item and we will verify it against the brand and correct the page.
