Visited Florida for the first time with my girlfriend who grew up here and swore up and down that k had to try this place, and I'm so glad we made time to do so. I'm drawing a blank on her name, but our waitress was so friendly and attentive to anything and everything we needed. The food is incredible. I tried to Sonny's Sampler which is basically a BBQ charcuterie board featuring a magnificent combination of all their BBQ meats, cooked to absolute perfection and I chose the Mac & Cheese and the french fries as my sides which were both fantastic.Parking: Huge parking that wraps two sides of the building. There were a few trucks with boats and other trailer and still had plenty of parking. May vary throughout the day.Wheelchair accessibility: I don't use a wheelchair but main entrances have ramps at an easy Incline, and the interior is very open between tables.

This place is always consistently good. I’ve never had a bad experience, and the service is impeccable! Our server, Millie, was warm and friendly. She took the time to get to know us, and she made a great impression. Thanks for the great meal you guys!

Been coming here since I moved to Gainesville in 1978. Traditional values like service, caring, and hometown goodness seem cliche but are standards set by this very place. Love all the staff like family and the food is second to none!!!

Our waitress Jess (Jessica Smith) was amazing she was so fast and efficient she even sang one of her songs she wrote to us while we ate she was friendly and we even exchanged phone numbers so she can talk over the week since my therapist quit on me any who we became fast friends and she even babysits my 4 kids on the weekend and teaches them piano and harpsichord and she taught me how to swim! (thank you Princess Queen for correcting my grammatical errors you too are a hero)
