Sonic Rolls Out New Limited $1 Menu

Sonic is giving guests a chance to snag a deal and a bite at the same time. The restaurant is helping satisfy midday cravings with its new limited-time $1 menu. The menu features some of the food spot's favorites.

The restaurant is launching "Snacky Hour," a 3-hour window of $1 menu items daily. From 2 pm - 5 pm, customers can grab a corn dog, 2-piece mozzarella sticks, and pretzel twists for $1 each. The deal will automatically apply to all orders during that timeframe.

If that's not enough, from 2 pm to 4 pm, Sonic is also handing out half-price drinks and slushes for you to enjoy. Many other restaurants want to work on $1 menu items and other deals.

The restaurant hopes to boost those quiet afternoon hours with these deals. Just note, you can't combine these offers with combos or delivery, and tax and extras still apply.

In the fast food scene of 2025, rivalry is fierce. McDonald's is set to launch their McDonaldland Meal and special shake on August 12, hoping to tap into nostalgia to pull in customers.

This move reflects changing fast food strategies. Big chains now rely on quick deals and special items to draw crowds during slow periods. Availability depends on what's in stock. The chain hasn't announced when this promotion will end.
