“On 08-03-2025 I ate at the Sonny's restaurant at 631 67th St Cir E in Bradenton, FL. This is a family-style BBQ restaurant with a very comfortable and welcoming ambiance. I arrived for dinner and was promptly seated. I had their Big Deal Turkey on a bun with fries, a side order of baked beans, and an unsweet tea. My food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked properly. It came exactly as I ordered it and was very tasty. A variety of sauces were available, and I selected the Sweet sauce. My server during my visit was Danielle. She was very efficient, kept my tea glass filled, and responded to any and all requests I had. I have had Danielle for a server several times before, and I consistently receive superior service from her. She is always friendly and courteous and takes a genuine interest in her customers, making sure that they have a positive dining experience. She is a credit and an asset to the business. I recommend this restaurant and will be returning there again to eat.“

“Amazing food from amazing people! I had the chicken tacos and they were flavorful and filling, with a generous helping of tender shredded chicken. My husband had the brisket, which came with mac & cheese, baked beans, and soft rolls. My husband said it melted in his mouth! The Village Patio is a cute little building with a laid-back atmosphere. We enjoyed eating our meal on the deck. Patrick and Shelley are warm and friendly, with decades of experience in the local restaurant and bar scene. Go check them out!“

“Just returned from a great short trip to Bradenton Fl. Had a chance to visit here briefly. Wasn't sure what to expect due to some negative reviews. As a veteran server myself, I was very impressed with the food quality and service as well as the view. Started out with Cajun shrimp. Yum! Onto Pasta Primavera. Cooked perfectly. I always say all diners should have to do this job double shift just for one day. I totally recommend this restaurant while in the area.“

“Everybody was very friendly. Every person greeted us.
Katie was especially helpful, energetic and attentive and more.
Lovely young lady. The food was good, but getting to meet her and have a conversation with her was the highlight of coming there today.“
