Is Sonic’s 1.99 Value Menu the Deal of the Summer?

Just in case you thought it couldn’t get any better when McDonald’s and Burger King introduced their $5 menus this Summer, there’s one more value menu for you to discover this Summer, and it’s a doozy. 

As Food & Wine reports, last week, Sonic announced its own value menu, this time dropping prices way below anyone else, with its $1.99 Menu, which includes the new Sonic Queso Wraps that are now available nationwide. 

“Now more than ever, consumers are focused on affordable food options, but they shouldn’t have to settle for the same old, tired discounts or boring meals. Many restaurant brands are touting value meals and discounts, and you see a lot of recycled ideas with limited options. At Sonic, we wanted to do something different — something fun — so we focused on variety, which is why we’re introducing the new $1.99 Menu, or what we like to call the FUN.99 Menu,” Ryan Dickerson, the chief marketing officer of Sonic, shared in a statement. “The FUN.99 Menu is all about choice and fun, whether you want any  of our dozen shake flavors, a chili cheese coney, or our iconic tots as a midday snack — it’s all there for just $1.99.”

As for those Queso Wraps, guests can get them in two varieties: the Bacon Ranch Queso Wrap, which comes with white meat, bacon, cheddar cheese, ranch, and white queso in a flour tortilla, and the Southwest Crunch Queso Wrap, made with that same white meat topped with Southwest sauce, tortilla strips, cheddar cheese, and white queso in a flour tortilla.

But that’s not all. Sonic is also offering a mix of snacks, desserts, and entrée items on its $1.99 menu, including a Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger, Chili Cheese Coney, Bacon Ranch Queso Wrap, Southwest Crunch Queso Wrap, Small Tots, and any of the 12 flavors of Sonic Shakes in a 16-ounce size, including Strawberry, Chocolate and Oreo Cheesecake.   

Fans can also get another deal using the Sonic App. There, they can snag half-price drinks and slushies any time they order through the app and half-price Sonic Cheeseburgers on Tuesday nights.  And just in case you need even more deals you can always snag the $5 menu at McDonald’s or Burger King’s $5 Your Way Meal too.
