Really enjoyed the potato tots appetizer and the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. They've put a new carpet in and everything was very clean.

it pains me to only give a 4. Sonny's is one of the staple places I go. I always order the sampler as I did this past visit. I asked for the marbled brisket, then I was told they were out of brisket. So I asked to double up on the ribs and I was told she couldn't do that?? I was told I could have extra chicken or pulled or sliced pork. Whatever it was still good, the Sonny's amber were two for one and I fed the family and the kids had ice cream all for $40. Hard to beat that!

I'm pretty sure it's been about 2 years since I last ate at a Sonny's. But once I saw an ad for the new items on the menu, I figured it was time for another visit. We first tried the loaded tots, which are topped with crispy onion strings, queso and bbq sauce. We passed on the option to add meat. It was pretty good. The only thing that threw off the taste for me a bit was that it seemed like the bbq sauce was too sweet. For our entrees, my hubby tried the new Sonny's Cuban, which he liked. I had a bite and thought it was pretty tasty, despite not being close enough to a true Cuban sandwich, it was a decent attempt. I personally ordered the new Brisket Grilled Cheese. The garlic bread used for the sandwich seemed to provide the majority of the seasoning. The brisket was a bit bland, and the cheese was unimpressive. The idea was not a bad one though. While not the most exciting meal experience, at least it can be said that, in my opinion, Sonny's has remained consistent with the food they serve. My rating: 3.5/5

The last 4 times we went they we're out of corn and or tater tots.. Last night we waited 55 minutes for our food and was given plastic utensils.. If it had been crowded I would have understood but it's at 50 percent capacity.. Probably won't go back which is a shame because we go for BBQ aboue once a week..

Have ordered family meals for curbside pick up several times in the last year. Easy online ordering, nice change from burgers n pizzas, and great price.

Food was good as always, but, it took forever to get it from the kitchen. **What's up with that** I had a sandwich with fries and my wife had loaded tots. I'm thinking they were waiting for the potato's to grow? Only taking away one star for slowness. The wait staff were nice and this restaurant is generally a good place to eat--(the food usually comes out quickly).

Try the new brisket grilled cheese sandwich, it was good definitely filling. and of course had to get my favorite corn nuggets with powdered sugar, those are always yummy. Good service, kind of busy during lunch. But overall a good experience

The corn nuggets were delicious! The fried okra was ok, not much taste. Bathrooms were so dirty I walked right back out without using them. They had all the sauces on the table and I doubt they are sanitized between uses.

I give them 5 stars for their excellent down home cooking! I've been to a lot of BBQ places in FL and different states. Sonny's is absolutely the best I have ever had! They have very friendly staff there as well!

So I’m not a very big person on reviews but last night we decided we’re gonna go to Sonny’s for dinner. When we got there we were seated and our waitress her name was Rachel was serving us and the service there was outstanding.we’ve been to Sonny’s before previous numerous times the service was never as good as it was last night. She made the experience at sonny’s Worth going back. As well as the food was on point. As I said in the beginning I don’t write reviews but I want it Sonny’s to know what an outstanding job Rachel did with us last night. It really makes a difference when you go into a restaurant in the service is so outstanding that it makes you wanna go back again thank you Rachel wish I would’ve caught your last name but the service you gave us last night was amazing will be back to see you again.

This past Wednesday, my boy's and I decided to have dinner at Sonnys. I had the sliced pork dinner, my oldest son had the wing appetizer, and my youngest had the pulled pork kids meal.The food came out in a timely manner, hot and tasty. Julie made sure our food and dining experience was a great one. I hope everyone that was in Julie's section gives her a compliment, because she was non stop the hour we was there. Taking orders, delivering drinks, food, and refills. Great job Julie.

About 50% of my food was great so 3 stars. The pulled pork was delicious, the potato salad and broccoli was great. The chicken was decent. Unfortunately the ribs and sliced brisket were soooo dry.My sweet tea and waitress were great as well.

Our dinner was great and the server we had was the best we’ve had in a long time. Her name is Rachel and she was on her game. Drinks always topped off and she always asked if we needed anything. Will be coming back again.
