Sonic Drive-In is introducing Steak and Bacon Grilled Cheese for Sonic app users.

The new sandwich features grilled steak mixed with grilled onions and topped with bacon, BBQ sauce and mayo sandwiched between two slices of Texas toast layered with grilled cheese. Another version offers cheese sauce and jalapenos in place of BBQ sauce for a spicier sandwich.

In addition, Sonic is bringing back Pickle Fries through Feb. 26, while supplies last. First launched on April 26, pickle fries are deep-fried pickles served with a helping of buttermilk ranch sauce. Sonic is one of the few fast-food chains (the others are Zaxby’s and Chicken Express) that have offered fried pickles. (Sonic also offers Pickle-Juice-flavored Slushies.)

The introduction comes after Sonic’s other innovation—Chicken Slingers—were introduced in January. The Chicken Slinger and the Spicy Chicken Slinger were available for $2.49 through Jan. 31. However, the Chicken Slinger is still on Sonic’s menu as of today.
