SONIC® Cheeseburger

Sonic's flagship burger: one seasoned beef patty with American cheese, crinkle-cut pickles, ketchup, onions, mayo, lettuce and tomato on a toasted bun. The Fall 2026 guide lists it "with Ketchup & Mayo", so the numbers are for that build.

Extras use the values Sonic prints for each one (the burger add-ons plus Smasher sauce), so a burger that already has the topping will not double it exactly. Sonic does not print add-on prices and we did not measure them, so only the burger price is shown. The picture is a schematic and shows an extra American cheese slice only up to one per patty.

Allergens & dietary notes

Sonic Cheeseburger Allergens: Wheat, Milk, Soy, Egg & Sesame

Sonic's Allergen Guide marks allergens per ingredient, not per burger. We add up the parts for the main builds. This is a reading aid, not medical advice.

Burgers we could not add up

The Smoked Gouda & Bacon Smasher uses smoked Gouda and black pepper aioli, and the Deluxe Teriyaki Smasher uses a teriyaki glaze. None of these has a row in Sonic's Allergen Guide, so we do not guess. Ask your drive-in or check Sonic's own tool.

Gluten, bun and cross-contact

Both buns are marked wheat and gluten, and both carry sesame. The potato bun is also marked milk.
Bun oil is added in toasting or cooking hamburger buns, wheat buns, Texas Toast, eggs, grilled onions and grilled peppers. All grilled items may come in contact with bun oil.
Sonic's burger item pages have shown a notice about possible peanut cross-contact. Check the current wording on sonicdrivein.com before you order.

Have a food allergy? Certain SONIC fresh bread products may have different ingredients because SONIC Drive-Ins purchase from local bakeries whose ingredients and allergens may vary. Ingredients in the following bread products include wheat, milk or egg in any combination and other allergens: hamburger buns, wheat buns, hot dog buns and Texas Toast. Sonic's guide was published October 22, 2026; we last checked it November 4, 2026. Always confirm with your drive-in.

How to Order a Sonic Cheeseburger Your Way

Every tip below uses numbers printed in Sonic's guides or measured prices. We left out "secret menu" claims we could not check.

Add bacon the official way
Bacon is a Make It Yours extra at +60 calories. On a SONIC® Cheeseburger (700 cal) that makes 760 calories.
Spice it for almost no calories
Jalapeños add only 5 calories. Hot Chili adds 60, the same as bacon.
Know what extra cheese costs in calories
An extra slice of American cheese adds 70 calories, against 60 for bacon.
Want a lighter burger? Go Jr.
The Jr. Double Cheeseburger has two patties for 390 calories and 21 g of protein, compared with 1040 calories for the SuperSONIC® Double Cheeseburger.
Jr. Double Cheeseburger calories, price and allergens
Compare a Smasher Double with the single
The Original SONIC Smasher™ (Double) has 600 calories and 35 g of protein, against 700 calories and 30 g for the single SONIC® Cheeseburger. The builds differ, so compare the numbers rather than the patty count.
A combo adds about $3.90
A SONIC® Cheeseburger combo (with a medium side and a medium drink) is about $9.59 against about $5.69 for the burger alone. Check what your drive-in includes before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Sonic Cheeseburger FAQs (2026)

Calories, prices, toppings, allergens and how we got the numbers.

How many calories are in a Sonic cheeseburger?

A SONIC Cheeseburger has 700 calories in Sonic's Fall 2026 nutrition guide, with 30 g protein, 41 g fat (11 g saturated), 52 g carbs and 1,360 mg sodium. The guide lists it "with Ketchup & Mayo", so that is the build the numbers describe. Taking sauces or toppings off will lower them, but Sonic does not publish numbers for other builds.

How much does a Sonic cheeseburger cost?

Sonic does not publish menu prices, and each drive-in sets its own. Drive Thru Index, which checks the in-app pickup price at every US Sonic every day, found a SONIC Cheeseburger typically costs $5.69 across 3,351 restaurants, with a range of $4.69 to $8.49 (checked November 5, 2026). By state, the typical price runs from $5.49 in Oklahoma to $7.59 in Hawaii. Delivery apps usually charge more than pickup.

What comes on a Sonic cheeseburger?

Sonic describes it as a seasoned beef patty with American cheese, crinkle-cut pickles, ketchup, onions, mayo, lettuce and tomato on a toasted bun. Sonic's ingredient statement for the burger patty lists beef with a seasoning of encapsulated salt (salt and fully hydrogenated soybean oil), yeast extract, black pepper and maltodextrin.

What is the difference between a SONIC Cheeseburger and a SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger?

The SuperSONIC Double has two patties and two slices of cheese instead of one of each. In the Fall 2026 guide that is 1040 calories against 700 (340 more), 50 g protein against 30 g, and 1,970 mg sodium against 1,360 mg. Typical pickup price is $7.19 against $5.69, about $1.50 more.

Does Sonic have a plain cheeseburger?

Yes. Sonic lists a Plain SONIC Cheeseburger on its burger menu, and Drive Thru Index measures it at the same typical price as the regular one, $5.69. We found no Sonic nutrition panel or description for it, so we do not state its calories or toppings. Third-party sites report about 630 calories, but we could not confirm that in a Sonic brochure. For a lighter burger from the guide, see the Jr. burgers.

Which Sonic burger has the most and the fewest calories?

Among burgers with published nutrition, the SuperSONIC® Bacon Double Cheeseburger with Mayo has the most at 1090 calories and the Jr. Burger (Wacky Pack®) has the fewest at 250. The highest figure in the Fall 2026 guide alone is the SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger at 1040, while the Jr. Double Cheeseburger is 390.

How many calories are in a Sonic Smasher?

In the Fall 2026 guide, the double Original SONIC Smasher is 600 calories and the triple is 780. The double All-American Smasher is 610, and the Deluxe Teriyaki Smasher goes up to 940 as a triple. Across every Smasher with a published panel, including the Bacon All-American from Sonic's Summer 2026 brochure (670 calories as a double), the range is 600 to 940 calories.

Is a Sonic burger 100% beef?

Sonic's menu text calls the patty 100% pure seasoned beef, and the Smasher patties are described as Angus beef. Sonic's ingredient statements list the classic patty as beef with a seasoning blend, and the Smasher patty as Angus beef and beef with seasoning, encapsulated salt, spices and an anti-caking agent. Both statements include soybean oil inside the encapsulated salt, so people avoiding soy should read the allergen section on this page.

What allergens are in a Sonic cheeseburger?

Sonic publishes allergens for each component, not for the finished burger. Its guide marks the Bakery Bun as containing wheat, gluten and sesame, sliced American cheese as containing milk and soy, and the potato bun used for Smashers as containing milk, wheat, gluten and sesame. Mayonnaise is not a row in the Allergen Guide, but its ingredient statement lists egg yolks and eggs. Grilled items may touch bun oil, which contains soy. Use the order checker on the allergen page to combine components, and ask your drive-in about cross-contact.

Which Sonic burger has the most protein?

Of the burgers with published nutrition, the SuperSONIC® Bacon Double Cheeseburger with Mayo has the most protein at 55 g. The SuperSONIC Double Cheeseburger has 50 g and the double Original Smasher 35 g. The value table on this page ranks the burgers that have both a price and a nutrition panel by protein per dollar.

Why are some Sonic burgers on this page not in the Fall 2026 nutrition guide?

Sonic's menu lists a few burgers the Fall 2026 guide leaves out. Two of them, the All-American Bacon Smashers and the SuperSONIC Bacon Double Cheeseburger, have panels in earlier 2026 Sonic brochures (670 calories for the double Bacon All-American, 1090 for the SuperSONIC Bacon Double), and we show those with the brochure named. The Plain Cheeseburger and the Smoked Gouda and Bacon Smashers are on Sonic's menu but we found no nutrition panel, so we show no numbers for them. Recipes can change, so treat earlier-brochure numbers as a guide.

How much more does a combo cost than the burger alone?

Sonic's combo is the entrée with a medium side (tots or Groovy Fries) and a medium soft drink. Across our sample of 152 restaurants in 38 states, a SONIC Cheeseburger Combo is typically about $9.59 against about $5.69 for the burger, so the side and drink add roughly $3.90. Specialty drinks and dipping sauces can cost extra.

Does the Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger or the Jalapeño Double come at every Sonic?

No. Sonic marks both with a triangle in its brochure, meaning optional items that may not be available in all locations. In our sample of 152 restaurants, the Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger was listed at 13 and the SuperSONIC Jalapeño Double at 14, while the standard burgers were listed at nearly all. The Deluxe Teriyaki Smasher is also marked optional.

Are the prices and calories on this page official?

Calories and nutrition come from Sonic's own brochures, and each item says which one. Prices are not Sonic's: they are measured pickup prices from Drive Thru Index (November 5, 2026), and items marked "about" are medians of a sample rather than a figure for every restaurant. We are an independent guide and are not affiliated with Sonic Drive-In or Inspire Brands. Last reviewed November 5, 2026.

How we handled prices

The SONIC Cheeseburger and SuperSONIC Double figures are the published typical price and range from Drive Thru Index. For other burgers we took a weighted median from a sample of 152 restaurants in 38 states (weighted by how many Sonic restaurants each state has) and label those "about". Prices differ by drive-in, change often, and are higher on delivery apps.
