Sonic Drive In Menu & Prices – 2026
Sonic Drive-in has an extensive menu that focuses on customization, but its signature items often carry quite a caloric load. A standard SONIC Cheeseburger contains about 700 calories, while a large Sonic Blast can exceed 1,500 kcal with over 140g of sugar, giving a lot of nutritional value to a larger group. While some of the price point is attractive, especially with the “$1.99 Menu” and “Happy Hour” half-price drinks, the Footlong Quarter Pound Coney (770 kcal) packs a punch in sodium. For healthier choices, the Jr. Burger (330 kcal) or Grilled Chicken Sandwich (480 kcal) paired with a Diet Cherry Limeade offer better balance.
