Update:<\/strong> Click here<\/strong><\/a> for a review of Sonic’s Extra Long Ultimate Cheesesteak.<\/p>\n

What is the Sonic Footlong Philly Cheesesteak?<\/h3>\n

This month\u2019s order of footlong coney buns must\u2019ve been way over because Sonic is obviously trying to get rid of all that bread before it goes bad. The solution? Throw some chopped steak and melted cheese in there and, Hell, just call it a Philly cheesesteak. Add a reasonable $3.99 price-tag while you\u2019re at it.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

While not the best Philly cheesesteak you\u2019ll ever have in your life \u2014 not even close, bud \u2014 it\u2019s still a pretty good attempt by a fast food chain to basically reverse engineer a cult sandwich to fit their own deliciously perverse vision of what a cheesesteak is and should be.<\/p>\n

\"Sonic <\/p>\n

I ordered the Classic option, consisting of grilled steak and onions, \u201cmelty\u201d cheese sauce and warm mayo all slapped together, Philly-style, on a footlong coney bun. <\/p>\n

\"Sonic<\/p>\n

While it might not sound great \u2014 it doesn\u2019t look that great either as you unseal it from its paper tomb \u2014 it actually is a delicious mess of meat and cheese. But the most surprising development from all this\u2026that mayonnaise here is fan-freaking-tastic. I thought it wouldn\u2019t work but, you know, it really brought the whole sandwich together.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s also a \u201cSpicy\u201d variation, containing the grilled meat and onions and the \u201cmelty\u201d cheese, but with the extra addition of \u201czesty\u201d Baja sauce and \u201cspicy\u201d jalapenos. I was intrigued, sure, but if I want to Baja sauce my food, I\u2019m going to make a run for the border and trust the bad hombres at Taco Bell for that. Lo siento<\/em>, Sonic.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Sonic<\/p>\n

Available for an oh-so limited time, the Sonic Footlong Philly Cheesesteak is a tasty little treat that\u2019s worth trying at the very least once. It won\u2019t replace your Geno\u2019s or Pat\u2019s, but what possibly could? Still, it\u2019s one of the better fast food attempts at a Philly cheesesteak around; just ask for a little extra mayo on the side for some lascivious dipping.<\/p>\n
