Is anything at Sonic gluten free?

Yes! But also not really. There are a lot of their items that are gluten free but not a lot of full meal options you can order directly from their menu.

You can build your own meal from their gluten free options. They also have a full allergen information document in case you want to triple check and make sure you are really getting something gluten free.

What’s important to know if you are gluten free and want to visit Sonic Drive In

Keep in mind that Sonic doesn’t have a designated gluten free prep station which makes cross contamination a definitive possibility.

They also use the same friers for all their foods so while their french fries are technically gluten free they are also fried in the same oil than onion rings (which are battered and do contain gluten).

Gluten Free Sonic Grill Items

If you don’t mind forgoing the bread then there a re a lot of grill items you can enjoy at Sonic drive in.

• Halal hot dog (the sausage)
• Pork and beef sausage
• Bacon
• Breakfast sausage crumble
• Breakfast sausage patty
• Egg
• Grilled chicken breast
• Grilled onions
• Halal patty
• Ham
• Hamburger patty
• Sirloin steak

Just keep in mind the veggie burger patty does have gluten (and a couple other allergens).

What I like is that they have a couple of protein options you can use to build your own meal.

All their oil used for cooking are also gluten free according to their allergen sheet.

Gluten Free Sonic Cheese

Love to indulge in some cheesy goodness? You are in luck because all cheese options are also gluten free!

• American cheese
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Cheddar cheese sauce
• Shredded white American cheese
• Zesty cheese sauce

GF Sonic Protein and Grill Toppings

I love how you can customize a lot of your order at Sonic. They have a fairly large list of toppings you can play with when creating your very own gluten free menu at this fast food joint.

Gluten Free Sonic Condiments and Sauces

Can we just agree that condiments are what really makes a meal? I mean I’m a huge fan of Sonic dipping sauces!

And most of their options are gluten free friendly. Actually reading their information it seems like the Asian sweet chili sauce is the only gluten containing condiment.

Here are the gluten free options:

Salt, pepper and celery salt are also gluten free

Sonic Gluten Free Sides and Fries

While the fries are technically gluten free keep in mind they are fried in the same oil as the rest of the products so cross contamination exits.

However fries are not the only option! Most Sonic restaurants also offer fritos corn chips that come packaged and are gluten free!

• Fritos corn chips
• Fries
• Tots

All other fried items contain gluten (even the ones that don’t seem like it) so it’s better to stay away from them.

The vanilla ice cream is gluten free and you can request it in a cup.

You can even ask for some of their delicious drink and ice cream toppings on top.

Gluten Free Toppings and Add Ins (for ice creams and drinks!)

Remember how I said that the best thing about Sonic is how you can customize their meals? Well you can also customize your drinks and ice cream with a lot of fun toppings that also happen to be gluten free.

How to create a Meal that’s Gluten Free Friendly at Sonic Drive In

Since this fast food place doesn’t have a real gluten free menu you need to get a little creative when making a meal.

For example you can have some burger patty with cheese and condiments and add some fun sandwich toppings like onions and avocado.

Then on the side you can have some Fritos with ketchup and have a blue coconut slush as a drink.

You can even have a sundae style ice cream made with vanilla ice cream with a peanut butter topping.
