Sonic Soft Pretzel Twist 2025: Price, Calories & Why It’s a Must-Try Snack

Sonic Soft Pretzel Twist is a baked pretzel snack available at Sonic Drive-In locations, served with Sonic’s signature cheese sauce for dipping. The pretzel is shaped into a twist, salted on the outside, and baked until the exterior is firm and lightly golden while the inside stays soft and chewy. It is one of the few non-fried snack options at Sonic, which makes it a popular choice for guests who want something warm without the grease of a tot or fried item.

The cheese sauce that comes with the Sonic Soft Pretzel Twist is the same processed cheese sauce used on Sonic’s Chili Cheese Tots and Chili Cheese Dogs. It is thick, warm when served fresh, and salty enough to balance the pretzel’s mild flavor. The pretzel itself has a moderate salt level from the coarse salt on the exterior — if you are sensitive to sodium, the pretzel without extra dipping is still a flavorful standalone snack. The serving size is a single full pretzel twist, and it is available as a standalone snack order, not as a combo item.

The Sonic Soft Pretzel Twist contains wheat and soy. It is not a gluten-free item. Sonic prepares it in shared kitchen environments where cross-contact with other allergens is possible. For guests with tree nut or peanut allergies, the pretzel itself does not contain nuts, but the shared preparation environment means it cannot be certified allergen-free. This snack is available all day at most Sonic locations. Pricing varies slightly by region, but the standard 2026 price is listed below.
