“Today my fiancé and I ate at this location. We had the new brisket Philly and the pick two with smoked brisket and smoked wings. Both meals were absolutely delicious. I have eaten a lot of Sonny’s in my days, the chopped brisket today was amazing and the best I have ever had. The atmosphere was very family friendly and the staff were welcoming and nice.An honest review would say that this location has been on and off with quality, remodel, and staff in the last decade. But today I can tell you that this location is thriving and everything was clean and carefully plated! Thank you for representing the brand! I will definitely be coming back!“

“This morning, I ordered brioche french toast. However, that is not even the best part. One waiter waved from the back and two of the young ladies up front knew my name. It reminded me of the song from Cheers, "Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name." My friend and I have been going to The Deli most every Sunday for a while now. Many of the wait staff have been there for a bit and I've seen several promoted from host. The kitchen has gotten it right most of the time. This restaurant is a local gem and, for good reasons, a popular place to get excellent noms.“

We picked it up yesterday, I never got to take a photo, but it looked beautiful. She added a layer of fresh raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. My hubby devoured it and I did manage to get a couple bites...........it was fantastic. If you like lemon, this is the ticket. Thank you Laura!!“

“We had a birthday party of about twenty. The service was excellent and the place was great, however my roast beef was so salty that it ruined the meal. It's a shame, because it was otherwise tender and tasty, behind all the salt. Also, the mixed veggies weren't as described. I ordered them to get away from the standard corn. I was told lima beans, broccoli, etc., but instead of the lima beans there was that corn again. Oh well, the place was otherwise nice and the food won't stop me from coming back. I'll find something else on the menu.“

“Recently tried this place and I liked it. My boyfriend and I shared nachos, wings, and an ice cream sandwich all of which were pretty good. The nachos in my opinion could’ve had more toppings like tomatoes, onions, or sour cream. It only had queso and beef which it also could have had more of. The wings, however, were super good. We got the garlic Parmesan and buffalo, and I liked the garlic parm a lot more. As for the ice cream sandwich apparently they are homemade and it was very delicious because the ice cream was very thick.The atmosphere in there is also nice; the restaurant is cute and well-kept. The workers were nice and our food didn’t take too long to come out“

“We ordered a Black bean burger with fries and a lunch combo with a pressed Sammy with chicken and a Mediterranean salad. All but the fries were great. Not a full service restaurant, but the atmosphere makes up for that. I read they have karaoke on Wednesday nights and live music Thursday through Sunday. Looking forward to both. Looks like all seating is outside and is dog and family friendly. Many TV's for watching sports and a large grassy area surrounding for kids to run around. A volleyball court and Cornhole would be a good addition. Kudos on the super chill vibe.Vegetarian options: Black bean burger was good.“

“This is a favorite place of my friend Sam's. We went there last week because three of us were in the car and none of us could agree on the cuisine that we wanted to have. So Sam said I know what to do when he drove us there to BJ's. I have to say that was the best fish dinner I had in a long time because the card that they brought me was perfectly cooked fried and so we're all the side dishes and so we're all the appetizers that Sam ordered. Everybody had something different and everybody said that their item was excellent. So there's something there for everyone definitely try the avocado poppers that they're famous for and they have a caramelli ice cream dish and I can't remember the name of that and that was excellent and they show that on all the ads on TV“
