The Sonic Pretzel Dogs are set to be available at participating restaurant locations for the summer as a limited-edition meal to enjoy that is decidedly different from the brand's traditional offerings. As the name denotes, the hot dogs are prepared with a rich pretzel bun that is soft and more flavorful than traditional hot dog buns that are often made from white bread.
The Sonic Pretzel Dogs come in two options including Cheesy Bacon and Original with the former topped with a mixture of warm cheese, bacon and grilled onions. The Original flavor option comes topped with just yellow mustard, which makes it a simple yet delicious option to enjoy if the Cheesy Bacon style seems a bit too indulgent for your tastes.
