Sonic Breakfast Items Ranked Worst To Best
If you wake up bright and early and don't have time to make yourself a hearty breakfast, or if you're simply in the mood for a lovely breakfast meal, there are numerous fast-food restaurants that offer a solid variety of hearty, hot, and filling items. Some of these restaurants also offer all-day breakfast (via Bustle). Chains such as IHOP and local diners tend to offer a wide array of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and other breakfast dishes. While fast food joints such as Mcdonald's and Chick-Fil-A might not have extensive breakfast menu options, they do serve a selection of delicious items that make for convenient and mouthwatering meals.
Although Sonic may not be the first food place you think of when you're hoping to grab some breakfast, it does offer several breakfast items that are available during opening hours. Sonic's breakfast menu features meaty breakfast burritos and sweet cinnamon treats, among other options. The next time you decide to order breakfast from Sonic, it's worth keeping in mind that while some of their breakfast items make for truly tasty treats, others are a little bit more average and should probably be skipped.
10. Jr. Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Burrito
Burritos: Whether you have them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, not only are they delicious, they are also an incredibly clean and efficient way to eat your food. Since all the meat, condiments, vegetables, and other stuffings within your burrito are wrapped in a soft tortilla (unlike a sandwich) the contents are unlikely to spill, which leads to enhanced deliciousness with each bite. Most breakfast burritos include some combination of scrambled eggs, cheese, and meats. Sonic has several takes on the breakfast burrito, including options such as the Jr. Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Burrito.
This breakfast burrito isn't hiding anything: All the ingredients are listed in the burrito's name. This may have been a solid burrito if it wasn't so incredibly small. Though the "Jr." in the title does indicate a miniature size, this burrito really is quite tiny. The sausage, egg, and cheese are good, but there simply isn't enough there to truly enjoy. Overall, this burrito is quite unsatisfying and is definitely not an ideal breakfast item.
9. Jr. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Burrito
Sonic's Jr. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Burrito falls rather flat in terms of quality. As the name suggests, this item is a hot, egg-filled burrito with melted shredded cheese and a decent amount of bacon. While all these ingredients sound delicious, this burrito, similar to the Jr. Sausage variant, is too miniature and is therefore pretty unsatisfying.
This burrito is way too small to be enjoyable: You can only really have one or two bites of this burrito before it is completely gone. The bacon does add nice elements of flavor to this burrito, though it isn't nearly as hearty or as filling as the sausage wrap. This item can be enjoyed as a warm snack; however, if you're looking for a satisfying morning meal, you'd be best off steering clear of Sonic's Jr. burritos altogether.
8. Sausage Breakfast Burrito
With the smaller, more snack-like burritos out of the way, we can finally get to the meat of the matter: The Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Many of Sonic's Sonic's breakfast items are similar to each other and this includes the Sausage Breakfast Burrito: This burrito is essentially a bigger version of the Jr. Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Burrito.
This item is made by encasing scrambled eggs, melted cheddar cheese, and bits of sausage inside a warm flour tortilla. Though there aren't that many ingredients in this burrito, sometimes, simplicity makes for a solid meal, and this burrito isn't half bad in the grand scheme of things. The scrambled eggs are definitely the best part of this sausage burrito. They are light, fluffy, and taste like real scrambled eggs, unlike other fast food egg items that can sometimes taste a little artificial.
The sausage flavors are solid if not excellent. The shredded cheddar cheese is flavorful and pairs nicely with the eggs and the meat. This is a pretty standard breakfast option though it's definitely not exciting. If you're looking for something a little more adventurous, there are other items at Sonic that will suit your preferences better.
7. Bacon Breakfast Burrito
Sonic's Bacon Breakfast Burrito, like the Sausage Breakfast Burrito, is a larger variation of the Jr. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Burrito. The Bacon Breakfast Burrito is typically made with scrambled eggs, melted shredded cheddar, and, of course, crispy bacon, although, as with most Sonic menu items, diners can request additional toppings of their choice. The Bacon Breakfast Burrito is a run-of-the-mill bacon-y wrap, and though it's nothing to write home about, it's a pretty solid choice.
The eggs are the most prominent and delicious aspect of this burrito. This item is loaded with warm, fluffy eggs that pair quite well with crisp bacon, and sharp-tasting cheddar cheese. The generous serving of eggs means this burrito has plenty of protein although it could certainly do with more bacon. As it stands, this burrito does not contain enough bacon to be labeled a bacon burrito.
This eggy and cheesy burrito is average at best: It isn't disappointing but there's nothing out of the world about it either. It's simply a decent breakfast item that will fill your tummy but is unlikely to wow your tastebuds.
6. French Toast Sticks
Sonic's breakfast menu might consist predominantly of burritos, but it does include a few sweet treats as well. If a fresh, warm, golden-colored batch of French toast sounds appealing to you, then you'll love Sonic's French Toast Sticks. The best part of these sticks is their versatility: They work well as a wonderful breakfast item, a tasty snack, as well as a delicious dessert.
While these sticks aren't quite as good as homemade french toast or the french toast that is available at some specialty breakfast spots, they're quite good for a quick and easy pick-me-up. Though they're not quite amazingly delectable, they deliver on all the important components: Sonic's French Toast Sticks are sweet, crispy, and come with a serving of sweet maple syrup to dunk your sticks into. This item will leave your mouth in a state of sugary breakfast bliss; however, depending on the extent of your sweet tooth, the maple syrup might overpower you with its sweetness.
5. Sausage Breakfast Toaster
Sonic may be known for burritos and sausages; however, as evident by its French toast and grilled cheese sandwichs, the restaurant chain also offers delicious toasty, crisp sandwiches. These sandwiches aren't limited to the lunch menu: Tucked away between all the burritos and sweet pastries on the Sonic breakfast menu are some surprisingly solid toasted breakfast sandwiches. Among these is the Sausage Breakfast Toaster, which is a toasted, sausage-filled, square sandwich.
The Sausage Breakfast toaster is made with two thick pieces of Texas toast, with a fluffy serving of eggs, a sausage patty, and a slice of melted cheddar cheese. This item is similar to the sausage breakfast burrito that the brand offers, albeit this item offers it in a toasted sandwich form. This sandwich is wonderfully crisp and well-balanced, with lots of egg and cheese accompanied by a juicy sausage patty. The quality of the sausage is pretty good and is more flavorful than the meat you might find at Mcdonald's or Wendy's. Overall, the Sausage Breakfast Toaster is a nice way to start your day.
4. Bacon Breakfast Toaster
Typically, meals that have bacon tend to have an advantage over other foods in terms of taste. Even though bacon isn't as hearty as other meats, it has become a breakfast staple and most breakfast and brunch places tend to feature it on their menus. Many items on the Sonic breakfast menu also feature bacon and it can be difficult to pick a favorite. That being said, in terms of Sonic's breakfast sandwiches, the Bacon Breakfast Toaster definitely comes out on top.
This sandwich, like the Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, is made with two slices of Texas toast, eggs, melted cheddar cheese, and bacon. The bacon is cooked to a nice level of crispiness and pairs wonderfully with the rest of the ingredients. The bacon really takes this sandwich to another level. This salty, cheesy goodness screams breakfast, and if you're looking for a bacon-packed meal to start your day, this toasty sandwich will not disappoint.
3. Ultimate Meat & Cheese Breakfast Burrito
Sonic's Ultimate Meat & Cheese Breakfast Burrito combines melted cheddar cheese and bits of bacon and a sausage patty within a soft flour tortilla. This burrito brings a little more to the table than other Sonic burritos and includes a zesty cheese sauce with crunchy tater tots. The addition of these ingredients makes this burrito twice as flavorful and twice as delicious as some of the brand's other burritos.
This ultimate burrito certainly lives up to its name: The tater tots are a welcome addition, and the bacon is just as crispy as it is in all of Sonic's other breakfast items. The cheese sauce is flavorful and provides a wonderfully decadent spin on the burrito as a whole.
This savory, flavor-packed item is a pretty great dish to grab on the go. All of the breakfast foods tucked away in this wrap make for a complete, satisfying breakfast. This burrito would certainly pair very well with a piping hot cup of coffee.
2. Cinnabon Cinnasnacks with Cream Cheese Frosting
Sonic's Cinnabon Cinnasnacks are made in collaboration with Cinnabon. Cinnabon is a bakery restaurant that specialized in offering sugary, cinnamon-coated pastries that always leave you wanting more and this item is no exception. Cinnabon Cinnasnacks are small buttery pastries with a yummy cinnamon filling on the inside. These Cinnasnacks are bite-sized, which makes them perfect for popping into your mouth. This breakfast offering also comes with a sweet cream cheese frosting that is ideal for dipping or drizzling on top of this cinnamon snack.
The Cinnabon Cinnasnacks are one of the best sweet breakfast items at Sonic. This dish meets all the requirements of a deliciously sweet breakfast food and it certainly delivers. It's not as fresh-tasting as something you'd find at an actual Cinnabon but it comes close to doing so, with its warm sugar, cinnamon, and frosting. It's similar to the Cinnamelts that McDonald's had on its menu in the 2000s. Any warm cinnamon-based snack that brings up memories of Cinnamelts is a must-try. You definitely want to opt for this menu option the next time you're in the mood for a sweet Sonic breakfast.
1. SuperSonic Breakfast Burrito
The very fact that Sonic named this item the SuperSonic Breakfast Burrito indicates just how incredible it really is. This item is truly among the best fast food breakfast burritos out there. It's filled with loads of vegetables and toppings: The fillings include sausage, cheese, tater tots, eggs, jalapeños, tomatoes, and diced onions. Though this burrito doesn't typically include bacon, you can request its addition to your burrito to take it to a whole new level. That being said, the vegetables, tater tots, and other ingredients in this burrito make for a hearty and satisfying meal, with or without the bacon.
The eggs are light and fluffy and go well with the cheese and the sausage while the tater tots add an incredible potato flavor to the burrito as a whole. The tomato and the onion contribute a lovely hint of freshness to this dish while the jalapeños bring a light and incredibly spicy kick. This item is by far the best savory breakfast option at Sonic. This breakfast option will give you the best burrito for your buck and will definitely satisfy all your cravings.
