“It's amazing. Literally the best Chinese food I've ever had. We constantly come back to the mall just for the food here. It was my birthday today and they were so sweet. I definitely recommend this place! Also the prices is phenomenal!“

“Had the quesadilla and nachos. They were great!“

“After a very long work day I placed an order for pickup. After picking up my food order and returning home I discovered this was not my order. Feeling very disappointed I called the resturant and spoke to the manager Michelle who was very apologetic. After explaining I had just come home from a very long workday, I was not.leaving again to pick up the correct order. Michelle not only prepared a fresh order but delivered it to me on her way home from finishing her shift at the resturant. I have to say, I am taken back from not only Michelle's empathy but her eagerness to help correct the oversight. In a day where mediocre customer service has been accepted as the norm, to experience excellent customer ( and delicious food) is a rarity. Thank you Michelle and Sonny's BBQ for restoring my faith in customer service but warming my heart that compassion and kindness still exist. This was my first Sonny's visit and highly impressed !“

“The Pig as locals call it is amazing, I have tried so many of their dishes over the years & have never had a bad meal or experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend their establishment.“

“My Memphis born husband stopped smoking pork and beef when we discovered Eli's. Whenever family visits, getting Eli's BBQ is a MUST. WE have enjoyed their pork, beef, beans,, coleslaw and sauce for many gatherings. Most recently we hosted a very large party. All the food was so good, people wanted to know where we got it! Ronni and the staff are good, caring people. The value ion the food, the service and the warmth of the owners and staff make it a "gotta come back again often" place. At this time there is road work being done in front, that makes it a bit difficult to get to, but it is worth the effort. It's right on the Dunedin Trail, so you can go by bike, or walk a bit further than you are used to on Douglas..“

“We love Reel BBQ! The Brisket is the best we've ever had!“

“Tender meats, flavorful sides, and end it with a sweet treat! Patmon’s BBQ is simply top notch!“

“This was our first time here. The pulled pork was pulled off of the bone and shredded right before being placed in the container for our to-go order. We also took home the grilled corn on the cobb and mac-n-chz. Phenomenal all around! We'll be back again and again. 🤤😎“

“Some of the best barbecue i've had. Love that smoky flavor and they give you plenty of it.“

Would definitely recommend and be back again!“

“This place is amazing. It has a revolving belt for Hot Pot and or BBQ. The meats are great. The bar with the condiments is great. The staff is amazing. It is all you can eat and it’s $30 so bring an appetite. If you have teens it is worth it. We don’t have a problem eating 30 bucks worth of food. Meat. Veggies. Fish. We went once and can’t get enough. Definitely worth the drive. Won’t let me add photos 😢“
