Sonic Drive In Rolls into the Dairy-Free Spotlight with this Menu

Updated September 2024! Here it is! Our complete dairy-free menu guide for Sonic. This nostalgic fast food chain offers the classic drive-in experience, complete with carhops on roller skates. And we were pleasantly surprised by all of the options they offer without dairy. This guide includes menu items, custom order options, top allergen notes, and even a separate vegan menu.

Sonic Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Allergen Notes & Vegan Options

As with all of our guides, make sure you read all of the information and reference any custom order notes in parentheses! For example, if it says (no cheese), you must order without cheese to make it dairy-free by ingredients. We do our best to cover all the bases and details to help make your life easier.

Fryer Note: It can vary by location, but according to Sonic, their fried items are typically cooked in shared fryers with items containing milk or other allergens. They use a fryer shortening for deep frying that is dairy-free, but contains soy.

Butter Note: The bun oil and liquid margarine used for grilling at Sonic are dairy-free, but contain soy. Sonic does not use dairy butter as a standard practice on the grill, but they do have dairy-based garlic butter in store for specialty menu items. Individual owners and managers can also take liberties, so be sure to verify that your location does not use dairy butter on the grill.

Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: At last check, all of the following non-dairy options at Sonic were also made without tree nuts and peanuts, except the limited edition churros, which contain peanut, and the Signature Sauce packets have a “may contain” warning for peanuts. All of the following are also made without eggs, except the egg-specific items, crispy tenders, churros (limited time), slaw, mayonnaise, buffalo sauce, groovy sauce, tartar sauce, honey mustard, and signature sauce. Sonic isn’t a great spot for gluten-free needs. Their fries, tots, dairy-free grilled proteins, and all dairy-free sauces and condiments listed below are made without gluten. But most prepared menu items contain wheat, and they do use shared fryers and grill their breads on a shared grill. Most items at Sonic are listed as containing soy, since they use bun oil, margarine, and fryer shortening for cooking that all contain soy. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

There was some confusion about the Queso at Sonic because they didn’t check any allergens for it on their allergen menu when it first came out.

* These items have a “may contain” warning for milk on their packaging (from the production). Please see our May Contain Guide to understand this notation. There are many other potential cross-contamination risks at Sonic (and all restaurants), so these “may contain” notes do not mean all other items on this post are without risk for potential cross contamination with allergens.

There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen.

Each location of a chain restaurant has different management and staff, and some might have different owners. This means differences in processes, ingredients used, menu options, and food sourcing can occur. Always verify the safety of your order for your needs at your current location.
