SONIC Drive-In has announced the launch of the 'SONIC Smasher,' a premium burger crafted to order and designed to offer high quality at an accessible price point.
The SONIC Smasher features two Angus beef patties, seasoned and seared to create a crispy exterior and a juicy interior. The burger is complemented by "two slices of melted American cheese, SONIC's signature Smasher sauce, crinkle-cut pickles, and diced onions, all served on a soft potato bun." Moreover, the SONIC Smasher is priced at $5.79 in a commitment to bring reasonable pricing options for deluxe-style, drive-through burgers.
For those seeking a larger portion, the 'SONIC Triple Smasher' is available for $6.79 which like the SONIC Smasher, contains all the same condiments but with an additional patty.
The SONIC Smasher and SONIC Triple Smasher will be available exclusively through the SONIC App beginning July 29, with nationwide availability across the United States starting August 5.
