SONIC Drive-In is officially calling for a breakup. In a move designed to challenge the status quo in fast-food burger quality and rising prices, SONIC has announced the launch of its new All-American Smasher lineup, along with an aggressive $6 All-American Smasher Meal.

Burger fans nationwide can find a “perfect match” that actually delivers on its promises. The new collection builds on the success of the Original SONIC Smasher, which debuted in 2024, by adding classic toppings and customizable configurations to the hand-smashed Angus beef foundation.

Premium Quality Meets Classic Flavors: All-American Smasher Lineup

The All-American Smasher is built for those who crave a traditional American cheeseburger experience but refuse to settle for subpar ingredients. Each burger is made to order, featuring two (or three!) Angus beef patties that are hand-smashed and seared on the grill to create signature crispy edges and a juicy center.

The burgers are stacked with:

  • Melty American cheese
  • Crisp lettuce and ripe tomatoes
  • Crinkle-cut pickles and diced onions
  • Ketchup and mayo
  • A pillowy soft, grilled potato bun

The lineup has expanded to include four distinct options to satisfy any appetite:

  • All-American SONIC Smasher: The classic double-patty build.
  • All-American Triple SONIC Smasher: For those who want three patties of hand-smashed Angus beef.
  • The All-American Bacon SONIC Smasher: The classic double, topped with crispy bacon.
  • All-American Triple Bacon SONIC Smasher: Three patties plus crispy bacon.

Redefining Value: The $6 Meal Deal

In an industry where prices continue to climb, SONIC is doubling down on value. The new $6 All-American Smasher Meal offers a complete, high-quality dining experience for a single low price.

The meal includes:

  • One All-American SONIC Smasher (double patty)
  • A choice of medium Tots or medium Groovy Fries
  • A medium soft drink or iced tea, served over SONIC’s iconic pellet ice

“The SONIC Smasher proves you don’t have to settle,” said Ryan Dickerson, chief marketing officer at SONIC. “It’s a premium, made-to-order, hand-smashed burger that’s simply better than you’ll find anywhere else in fast-food, or even fast-casual – it’s America’s favorite for a reason. With the All-American Smasher lineup, we’re offering our best burger in a classic way people love without cutting corners on quality. And at $6 for a full meal, we’re not just offering the best value; we’re raising the bar for what a fast-food burger relationship should be.”

The All-American Smasher lineup and the $6 meal deal are available now for a limited time at participating SONIC Drive-In locations nationwide. Customers can order at the drive-in or through the SONIC App for added convenience. There are several SONIC locations near Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort.
