Guests can choose from the Classic Footlong Philly or zest it up with the Spicy Footlong Philly, both of which become more irresistible with each bite. The Classic starts with hearty, grilled steak and onions topped with melty cheese sauce, all nestled in a fluffy bun that soaks up all the savory juices.

Starting at $3.99*, SONIC's Footlong Philly is only available until October 28, while supplies last**.
