To me Sonic's burgers are very average, not bad at all, but quite comparable to a whopper. Actually, I would say Burger King has done a better job with their burgers, from my experience. I would say other than maybe Carl's Jr. and In-n-Out, Burger King makes the best fast food burgers.

Burgers
I’ll just note that many of the better-burger chains I’ve reviewed make a point of mentioning that their beef is not only 100% beef, it’s also usually 100% American. That particular descriptor is noticeably lacking in the SONIC Drive-In menu, so if that’s important to you, I have no idea where the chain’s beef is coming from.
Beyond the Burgers
So what else does the SONIC menu have that’s worth reviewing? I’m glad you asked. Keep in mind that this is a franchise, so there can be a good deal of variation from location to location.
Worst: SuperSONIC Bacon Double Cheeseburger With Mayo
This burger has double the beef and cheese of a standard burger, not to mention a few strips of bacon added in, too. It's no surprise as to why Bannan says this is the worst cheeseburger for your health at Sonic.
Best: Junior Burger
"The Jr. Burger is a sensible portion, with a fraction of the saturated fat than most burgers on the menu," says Bannan.
Worst: Footlong Quarter Pound Coney
"At almost 800 calories, this hefty hot dog also comes with 19 grams of saturated fat and a day's worth of sodium," says Bannan.
Worst: Ultimate Meat and Cheese Breakfast Burrito
"This breakfast option is one of the highest in sodium, with nearly a full teaspoon in one burrito," says Bannan. "More than half of the burrito's 840 calories come from fat, and it has a whopping 19 grams of saturated fat."
Best: Breakfast Toaster with Ham
If the ham variety is available at the Sonic in your town, opt for this one over the traditional bacon variety. 6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e
Worst: Chili Cheese Tots
OK Sonic, it's a little extra to be adding chili and cheese to your tater tots, don't you think? With nearly 2,700 milligrams of sodium and almost 1,000 calories, we hope that you're sharing this large order with four other people—especially if it's being consumed as a side to a sandwich.
Best: Soft Pretzel Twist
"This side only has 1 gram of saturated fat, and has one of the lowest sodium [contents] as well," says Bannan.
White Castle: Slider
If we're being totally honest here, it doesn't strike us as a fantastic start if a burger chain isn't even willing to market their hamburgers as hamburgers.
Dairy Queen: Cheeseburger
Dairy Queen might not initially occur to you as the first port of call for when you're craving a hamburger. And, frankly, nor should it. Their standard issue cheeseburger is utterly lacking in toppings: For your money, you'll get no more than a ⅙ lb patty with cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard. That really, really isn't very much to work with.
Checkers: Checkerburger
"Look up 'perfection' in the dictionary and this is what you'll see, because the Checkerburger is everything a burger oughta be." That's what Checkerburger themselves have splayed across the burger section of their website, but we know better than to put blind faith in a burger restaurant just because they know how to rhyme.
McDonald's: Quarter Pounder
Oh, yes. Them. They're the ones with the clown. You can probably see them right now, through your own window. They're the biggest; they're the baddest. But are they the best? For the sake of fairness, let's ignore the disappointing hamburger (and the Big Mac which is kinda cheating) and focus on the Quarter Pounder.
Burger King: Whopper
Oh, yes. The other them. They're the ones with the creepy monarchical allegory. You can probably see them right now, through your other window. They're not quite as big; they're not quite as bad. But they are better. Just.
Shake Shack: ShackBurger
Here's everything that's good about Shake Shack's ShackBurger. The option to double up on toppings is a nice flourish (even though the slim offerings of lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion are not super impressive), as is the optional applewood smoked bacon. The patty is thick — thicker than most of the others on this list, actually.
Smashburger: Classic Smash
The Classic Smash from Smashburger comes as your choice of beef, turkey or black bean (we'll stick to beef, here) patty between two egg buns with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and their very own Smash Sauce. The seasoning is usually quite light but the patties are generously-sized and seared nicely on the grill.
