The cheesesteaks come in two options including Original and Spicy, which are both crafted with [seasoned steak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-cheesesteak) along with grilled onions, melted cheddar cheese, a zesty cheese sauce and a topping of [tater tots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philly-cheesesteak-bites). The sandwiches are served on an extra-long bun to make them a more indulgent offering to enjoy for lunch or dinner. The Sonic Extra-Long Ultimate Cheesesteaks are being launched for a limited time only at participating locations through Sunday, February 28, 2021. The sandwiches combine a side dish into the recipe to make them an all-in-one meal option that can be enjoyed in the car or while on the go.
