“We’re from Florida, now living in Alabama. There are no Sonny’s BBQ here and we sure miss them. Last weekend we took an end of summer weekend trip to Pensacola. There was a Sonny’s across from our hotel room. Needless to say that’s where we ate dinner and boy did we enjoy it! The food was hot, fresh and just as delicious as we remembered. Our server was extremely friendly and I wish I could remember her name (this would have been on Sunday night, July 30. We were the party of five, three grandkids, my daughter and me). Well, Sonny’s had a big impact on my granddaughter for sure as you can tell by her picture and what she wrote on her “what I did this summer” page attached hereto. She can’t wait to come back to have the best ribs she ever tasted!“

“i got super sick after eating here a few weeks ago and just found out the health dept shut them down. WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN“

“Best BBQ in Pensacola, hands down. The ribs have the perfect bite every time, brisket is always pull apart tender and the chicken is juicy. All with the perfect amount of smoke on them!“

“I went for lunch today. First time at this location on Garden St. Dalton was my server. He did a great job. I got a Chicken bento box with egg drop soup and a California roll. Everything was perfect. Had enough to bring home. I will return. Give it a 10+“

“Great food. 👌🏽enjoy going there when I get the chance too.“

“Great cheesesteak and burgers.“

“Steak/Shrimp/Greens/Salad was amazingly delicious for the price! Nothing better than getting a piece of that hock or tail meat in the greens. Wife got smoked chicken salad and Philly Fries. Equally delicious. Will definitely be going back!“

“Delicious bbq & great service! The best bbq sauce I have ever had! Highly recommend!“

“I picked up a Thanksgiving meal for my family and it was so easy. I pulled up and they loaded it up. The staff was happy to help. I got some of everything. The smoked ham was the best I ever tasted. It's very big too. My dad loved the corn on the cob! Everything was delicious, oh, and did I say easy!! We also had brisket and BBQ chicken. So good!“

“The staff was SUPER friendly and my order was filled quick! Our family thoroughly enjoyed our meals of red beans and rice, jambalaya, greens, cornbread, pulled pork sandwich, and fries. I had a sandwich and some fries left for lunch today. I opened the sandwich and toasted it and the fries in the toaster oven and they tasted like fresh from the restaurant... SO GOOD!“
