I had 3 ribs, 1 of 3 had meat on it. The brisket was 3 small pieces with 90% fat..

We're done with this Sonny's. We'll drive to the Bellview location which is always on point. The last time we were here, at The Villages location, we asked the waitress for utensils, Never got them and then asked the host for utensils. The host said he'd get us utensils, After about 10 minutes, I went back to the kitchen and asked for utensils and I was finally given a set. Similar situation tonight, We asked the waitress for utensils, after quite awhile, she was able to find some forks. No knives; just forks. The restaurant was only about 25% full so there shouldn't be a shortage of utensils. Sonny's - BUY SOME MORE UTENSILS! Your customers shouldn't have to beg for utensils. Now the food. The pulled pork was fatty but not as bad as my wife's brisket, Her brisket was tough and more than 50% fat. Picture attached. The hostess greeted us and sat us quickly, Our waitress Sierra was efficient, Ar least our iced tea and french fries were decent. Done with this Sonny's.

I'm so highly disappointed. Had to trash my meal. My kids meal was missing. My bake beans missing. My meat was under cooked. My delivery was sealed. The food looked like the dasher took a bite. This is unacceptable, 37 dollars down the trash.

Horrible brisket. Cold, tough. Used to be so good. Fortunately we had a great server who took the charge off our bill.

Restaurant was not busy during lunch, with most tables being empty, but we were not seated for 20 minutes. Eventually we left to go somewhere else because it appeared we were not going to be seated anytime soon. Not sure what the issue was. Would not recommend.

Food was cold & the meat was dried up, hard and smaller portioned. Definitely will not go back.

Ordered online said 10 minutes. Stood at the bar for 35 minutes waiting for food. Steak sub was cold. Chicken wings weren’t cooked through. Ended up wasting 65$ of food. If you want good food wouldnt recommend

I walk in with my wife and 3 kids 2hours ago. Took us 10 minutes to get seated with only three tables inside(1 outside) and 1 family of 3 waiting to be seated ahead of me. My server takes 15 minutes to get to table only takes our sink order when he does finally come. Messes up our drink order completely. Then waited an hour for 4 meals. I watched people that came in 20-30 mins after us get seated, fed and get their check before us. Took an hour to get food to table. By then we were done. And probably won't be back to this Sonny's if we come to another Sonny's at all.... Food was good though. I'd suggest not getting the older gentleman with a mask on. I don't know his name

I have not ate at a sonny’s BBQ in a few years but it is my favorite restaurant and this location is doing the Sonny’s BBQ name Justice! My baby back ribs were amazing and all my sides were wonderful! Thank you and keep up the hard work?

Stopped going to Sonny’s in the Villages over 2 years ago. Placed an online order and received message to pickup in 15 minutes. What a laugh! When I arrived for pickup, DoorDash lady said she had been waiting 45 minutes. After a wait, a server finally acknowledged me and they checked on my order; said about 15 minutes. I waited over an hour. Just wanted to give an update on why I have not and Will Not be going back!
