Sonic Allergen Menu Link: https://online.sonicdrivein.com/nutrition/allergens.pdf?v=01-2023https://www.godairyfree.org/dining-out/sonic-drive-in-dairy-free-menu
Sonic truly is my favorite fast-food place of all-time, whenever I’m by a Sonic I always have the urge to go. I love this place it has plenty of dairy-free options for me to enjoy.
Jumbo Popcorn Chicken
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Rationale: I love the crunchiness of the popcorn chicken and it is so good whenever I eat it. It is always juicy and hot off the fryer, and I really enjoy eating it.
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Rationale: Gluten-Free people should definetely stay away from this as well as vegans. It luckily has no dairy in it so I can enjoy it.
Onion Rings
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Rationale: Really good! These are freshed served off the fryer like the popcorn chicken is. I come to Sonic just for these Onion Rings. That should tell you all you need to know.
Allergy Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
Rationale: I know you would think that it would be higher but there has been some controversy with this item. I found out that the Onion Rings have dairy. Both allergen links that I posted above say that they do have dairy in it. Though I have been recently and had no allergic reaction. I’m anaphalatic to dairy and I should’ve had some sort of reaction if I had any reaction. In addition gluten-free people and I would advise vegans to stay away from this as well. I loved their onion rings, I’m bummed they changed their recipe, it was good while it lasted.
Tots/Fries
Food Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Rationale: I would say their fries and tots are pretty good! I haven’t had them in a long time since I get their Onion rings all the time, but with the onion rings having dairy in it, I must turn to either the fries or the tots, personally these are both really good options and I am not complaining about either one. I have seen frozen Sonic Tater Tots at my local Walmart, and if retail grocery stores are selling them that means their food is really good, and I agree sonic has great food.
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Rationale: There are no allergens to be reported, be careful of cross contimination of other fried items with food allergens present.
Philly Steak
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Rationale: I had this item once at a Pennyslvania Sonic. I was visiting family on my Mom’s side and I remember enjoying that sandwich! The good news about sonic is that it tells you item by item like the bun and the steak if it has certain allergens in it on their allergen menu. That is a plus instead of them telling the sandwich and leaving you confused and wondering if I can be flexible with this food item. I recommend this item right here!
Allergy Rating: 4 out of 5 stars: Vegans should stay away from this item, Gluten-free people can enjoy it without the bun. This is allergy friendly because of the flexibility of the sandwich!
Allergy Rating of Restaurant: 4 out of 5 stars
I really like how they take care of their customers with allergies. They have an allergen menu broken by items and they update it fairly frequently too, so that has made it safer. Thank God I didn’t have a reaction. I should’ve checked before I ate it, but luckily nothing happened. Restaurants changing their recipes is dangerous for people with allergies and that is why you should be careful. Sonic did its due diligence and let me know that they do have dairy in it, and Sonic hasn’t caused me any allergic reactions so that is why I declare Sonic as an allergy-friendly place.
