Sonic Happy Hour Times & Menus

Find What Time Sonic Offers Happy Hour & Special Deals

Ah, the nostalgia. I was actually a carhop at Sonic in high school – those were the good ol’ days.

I would come to work, put on a pair of skates, and roll out to generously tipping customers carrying heavy red trays, loaded down with food and mints.

Sonic is one of those places that has something for everyone. And oh my goodness, try their cheddar peppers and ranch dip if you haven’t already. But I digress.

As far as Happy Hour goes, you can’t go wrong even with a fountain drink. Sonic has that amazing crushed ice that people love so much that they buy it by the bag.

Sonic’s Happy Hours both quench your mega thirst AND satisfy your sweet tooth. Now that’s a sweet deal.

Most Popular Food & Drinks During Happy Hour

The most popular drink is a bit hard to narrow down, since there is literally thousands of combinations of drink flavors, so I’ll just share my favorite. There is nothing better, to me, than a Cherry Limeade.

My favorite shake is the Hot Fudge Shake, but I’m more classic when it comes to that. But really,  f they can make it, they will.

When Happy Hour is Most Crowded

Happy Hour is most crowded on the weekends, since people are off from work and can visit Sonic during both of its Happy Hours.

Enjoy Sonic’s Happy Hour

Sonic is a fast food place that provides you with an old-fashioned, drive-in experience, complete with your own personal server. You don’t see that too often in the fast food industry.

And it offers types of food that goes far beyond the standard burger fare, especially when it comes to their Coneys and sides. Plus they don’t start cooking your food until you order it, so you know it’s going to be fresh and hot.

One kind word of advice – it’s always appreciated by the carhops when you remember a small tip for their extra bit of service.
