SONIC culinary and menu innovation vice-president Mackenzie Gibson said: “SONIC’s hot and crispy Groovy Fries are a perfect snack on their own but imagine elevating them with creamy queso and other flavour-packed toppings – now that’s a snack that hits the spot.

“Whether you go for Bacon Ranch or Southwest, these loaded fries will get you through those midday or late-night cravings and transform them into an experience that’s both comforting and delicious.”

In August 2024 SONIC Drive-In added a new cheeseburger, the Sonic Smasher, as a permanent item to its menu.

The Sonic Smasher features two grilled Angus patties, American cheese, Smasher sauce, crinkle-cut pickles and chopped onions in a potato bun.

SONIC is also launching the SONIC Triple Smasher, starting at $7.49.

The company has also announced the opening of a co-located restaurant outlet in New Jersey.
