Sonic is a great place to go to get your fast food fix. But, not many people know that Sonic has a secret menu – and even fewer know what’s on it.
I’m here to let you in on the secret. To get access to Sonic’s secret menu, simply ask for it the next time you’re at the drive-thru or in the restaurant. Sonic’s’ secret menu is filled with all sorts of delicious items that you won’t find on the regular menu.
The secret menu at Sonic includes items like the Frito Pie, Pickle-o’s, and the Dr. Pepper Orgasm (yes, you read that right!). You can also get made-to-order sandwiches, hot dogs, and the best tots you’ve ever had on the secret menu.
If you’re looking for something a little different, you should check out Sonic’s secret menu to satisfy your cravings. With that in mind, let’s cover some of the best secret items the iconic drive-thru has to offer.
Frito Pi
If you’re a Fritos lover, a Sonic-style Frito Pie is something you have to try.
The Frito Pie is a large serving of Frito corn chips topped with chili and nacho cheese. From there, you can customize it however you want with toppings, including lettuce and tomato.
The Frito Pie is a yummy alternative to standard nachos. The flavor of the Fritos and the added saltiness of the chili is a match made in heaven.
Kids especially love this item, so it’s a great fast-food dinner option that goes beyond the traditional burger or chicken nuggets.
Not all Sonic locations offer this dish, so you may have to ask around!
Pickle-O’s
Fried pickles aren’t necessarily anything new. But, Sonic knows what they’re doing when it comes to these Pickle-O’s!
They are pickles that have been cut into circles and fried up to perfection. They’re crunchy, salty, and delicious.
They’re also a great snack to try if you’re looking for something salty to tide you over.
Pickle-O’s can be ordered as part of a meal or as a snack. If you want to take your classic Sonic cheeseburger to the next level, but a few Pickle-O’s on the patty for some extra crunch and acidity.
If you fancy the sweet dill taste of pickles and love fried foods, you’re in for an incredible treat for sure. Deep-fried pickles never tasted so good.
Dr. Pepper Orgasm
This is a drink made with Dr. Pepper, lemonade, and Powerade.
Many don’t understand the name, but it’s a delicious drink nonetheless. It’s sweet and tart, and it’ll give you a sugar rush.
The Dr. Pepper Orgasm is a delicious drink for those looking for a bit of adventure. But, be prepared for an extra dose of caffeine and sugar – it’s not for the faint of heart!
It also might not be the most family-friendly item to order out loud, so you might want to save this one for when you’re craving a sweet drink on your way home from work.
Grilled Ham and Cheese
The Grilled Ham and Cheese is a classic sandwich with a Sonic twist.
It’s made with American cheese and grilled ham, so you’ll enjoy a variety of tastes and textures – from cheesy to smoky and from salty to buttery.
It’s a simple but delicious sandwich that’s perfect for those who are looking for something familiar and easy to eat, or something different from a traditional burger.
Sonic Sunrise
Sonic is known for having a wide variety of drinks on their traditional menu, and the secret menu doesn’t disappoint, either!
This is a drink made with Sonic’s famous cherry limeade and orange juice. It’s meant to mimic the look and colors of a beautiful sunrise.
The Sonic Sunrise is a refreshing drink that’s perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day.
Think of it as a version of a Tequila Sunrise cocktail – without the Tequila. That makes it a great option for kids and adults alike.
The Sonic Sunrise is a delicious drink perfect for those who love fruity drinks. It’s fun, tasty, and beautiful.
Extreme Tots
Tater tots are delicious on their own. But, Sonic’s Extreme Tots have been kicked up a notch.
They’re covered in nacho cheese, chili, jalapenos, onions, and ranch dressing. If you love spicy food, you’ll want to try these out.
The tots are covered in a variety of spices and flavors, so they’re sure to please everyone’s taste buds. Be sure to order a side of ranch dressing to help cool down the heat.
Perhaps the best thing about these tots is that they’re so loaded, you can enjoy them as either a snack or a quick meal on the go.
Made-To-Order Burgers
Sonic is known for its burgers, and they’re some of the best around. The burgers are made to order, and you can choose from a variety of toppings.
You can also choose from a variety of different buns. There’s something for everyone at Sonic when it comes to burgers.
While it might not seem like a burger is something “secret,” many people don’t know you can deviate from the standard options on the menu to create your own.
It doesn’t matter if you have so many toppings that you have to eat them off your plate with a fork! I can say that because my made-to-order burger had toppings falling off before I took the first bite.
Purple Sprite
This is a drink made with purple Powerade, lemonade, cranberry juice, and Sprite.
It’s a delicious and refreshing drink perfect for individuals looking to quench their thirst.
The drink is also a pretty color, making it ideal for those who love Instagrammable drinks.
The Purple Sprite brings back memories of the good old days when Sprite used to have many flavors and colors to choose from.
I think the experience of ordering the drink and taking a picture of it was the best part of my order, but it also tasted great!.
Sunshine Smoothie
The Sunshine Smoothie is a strawberry, banana, orange juice, and ice cream mixture blended into a delicious summertime treat.
It’s like a milkshake that has taken a drastic turn for the better.
The unforgettable flavor is sure to please anyone’s taste buds. I loved how well the vanilla ice cream mixed with the fruit and orange juice.
This is the answer if you’re in the mood for a twisted milkshake and can’t decide which flavor you want.
Extreme Popcorn Chicken
Everyone loves popcorn chicken, but this is something I’m sure you’ve never experienced before.
Sonic’s Extreme Popcorn Chicken is covered in nacho cheese and chili. Order a side of ranch, and you’re good to go.
If you’ve tried Sonic’s regular popcorn chicken, you already know how crispy and juicy it is, and this takes it to the next level.
The chicken is covered in a variety of spices and flavors and fried to perfection. The nacho cheese and chili make it messy – in a good way.
Hickory Burger
The Hickory Burger is made with hickory-smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, and BBQ sauce.
It’s a delicious and unique burger that’s perfect for those who love BBQ sauce and what something heartier than a traditional cheeseburger.
The barbeque sauce makes you feel like you’re eating at a family cookout without the need for bug repellent!
The Hickory Burger is a massive burger that looks just as good as it tastes. Pair it with the Extreme Tots, and you’re sure to get your cheese fill for the day.
Ring Leader Loaded Burger
The Ring Leader Loaded Burger is topped with onion rings, bacon, grilled onions, and cheese.
If you’re a bacon lover with a big appetite, this is for you. You’ll need to ask for a few extra napkins for this one!
Another pro tip for you is to mix together some ketchup, mayo, and mustard (along with any other condiments you want) for dipping!
The burger blends perfectly with that “special sauce,” and you’ll feel like you’re making the most of your menu hack.
There’s something that feels special and exclusive about ordering secret menu items. The ones Sonic has to offer won’t disappoint, and you can keep coming back to try all of their delicious secret options!
Not only do they taste great, but they’re perfect for earning a few extra “likes” on social media.
If you need help deciding what to try, start by pairing a made-to-order burger with one of the sides and the Purple Sprite. If you’re in the mood for a snack only, start with the Extreme Tots or the Popcorn Chicken.
Whatever you decide, don’t forget to keep coming back for more. Well, what are you waiting for? Head to your local Sonic now, and get in on some of these secrets!
Finish your meal with a sweet treat with one of Sonic’s popular Blasts!
I would love some low carb choices at Soic and on the app.
