Chicago Dog — Sonic Drive-In

Is the Chicago Dog a good deal?

At a typical $4.29, the Chicago Dog at Sonic Drive-In gives you 400 calories and 11g of protein — 2.6g of protein and 93 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 54/100, which ranks it #547 of the 1023 comparable items we've priced across every chain (the typical comparable item returns about 2.8g of protein per dollar).

On the numbers it's an unremarkable value pick in its category. Worth noting, though — sodium runs high (2,030mg). If you want more for your money elsewhere on our value rankings, 3 Tacos al Carbon Combo at El Pollo Loco scores higher (89/100 value, $6.99).
