Pickle lovers get ready because Sonic's new Big Dill Cheeseburger is bursting with pickle flavor.
Back in 2018, Sonic delighted fans with the launch of its Pickle Juice Slush. Now the brand is yet again leaning into the pickle obsession with its new Big Dill Cheeseburger. The tangy creation starts with a seasoned beef patty, which is then topped with crispy-fried pickle fries, crinkle-cut pickle slices, shredded lettuce, American cheese, and a dill-infused ranch sauce – all served on a toasted brioche bun. The crispy pickle fries can also be ordered on their own, and consist of crispy pickle fries that have been cut into fry shape, breaded, and then fried. These pickle fries also come with a side of Ranch sauce for dipping.
The Big Dill Cheeseburger officially launches nationwide on May 2, 2022
