Navigate Sonic $1.99 Menu: Prices & Details Inside
Looking for the Sonic $1.99 Menu so you can plan a low-cost run without guessing what’s available? This value lineup lists select items priced at $1.99 and updates periodically, so you’ll know what to expect before you drive up.
The article shows what’s currently featured, which picks were replaced from earlier rounds, and simple ways to stack limited-time savings at checkout. Final price and availability can vary by store because each sonic drive-in may set regional pricing or opt out of specific offers.
You’ll also get clear guidance on what to order for a snack, a light meal, or a sweet treat without needing a combo. Later, an at-a-glance dietary breakdown will list each item, price, calories, and common allergens so you can choose with confidence.
Quick take: the $1.99 menu is a rotating value selection added permanently after a summer launch refresh, now featuring eye-catching picks like returning burger mashups and dessert-style slush options to drive trial.
What’s New With Sonic’s Value Lineup and Why It Matters
The brand introduced a permanent $1.99 menu in July, then refreshed the lineup to spotlight different offerings over time.
The timeline is simple: a summer launch created a standing value platform, and later swaps kept the content fresh to drive trial and test margins.
The refresh feels like new options at the same low price. One week you might grab a handheld; the next week a snack or slush takes center stage. That makes it easier to build a quick lunch or an on-the-go snack that fits your craving.
Mix, match, and save nudges you to assemble small items rather than buy a fixed bundle. CMO Ryan Dickerson framed the change as personalization: guests get flexibility for salty, sweet, or handheld choices.
This move also mirrors a wider push by U.S. chains to extend value beyond summer into fall. When lineups change, your go-to pick can vanish — or a new item can be a better deal.
- What to watch: participation and add-ons can vary by location and affect the final checkout total.
| Feature | What it means | Action for you |
|---|---|---|
| Rotating content | Keeps options interesting | Check the app before you order |
| Mix-and-match | Build your own small meal | Pair a snack with a drink |
| National push | Chains extend value into fall | Compare deals across restaurants |

Exclusions: Rainbow Slush, Lemonade Cream Cooler, Slush Floats, and limited-time-only products. Add-ins cost extra. Limit five per order. Discount applies automatically and is not valid with combos, delivery, or other offers.
Best use: if you pick a $1.99 food item, the 79¢ slush makes a low-cost drink that completes a light meal.
