We want to first say that the atmosphere and staff were very nice, quick to provide and a very beautiful establishment. However the food left something to be desired. Husband’s $11 BBQ beef plate was just shaved beef with lettuce and tomato. My $16 club was decent. Turkey tasted like deli meat. Children’s chicken finger plate was $8 and he got one singular chicken finger. I know sometimes they go off weight but that was a little absurd. Baked beans and Brunswick stew (only available Sept-March) were the star of the show. Overall, we would not travel off of 75 to return here but if you’re in the area I think it could be worth another try.

Overpriced and no value to the food. Quantity and quality of food for the price is laughable. Was overcharged and when asked the waitress acted like I was in the wrong. Would not recommend. Most of these 5 star posts are clearly nostalgic lake city ppl who dont want to put down a local business. Sonnys is better in quality and value.

The service was very quick and attentive. However, the food looks like something you would have been served at a school lunch, did not taste much better than a school lunch either. There are definitely better barbecue places in town.

A preacher, a cop, and A HR Director all walk into a BBQ joint…. I’m not from around these parts but I found the whole town here when I stopped by for a quick bite. The sliced pork was delicious, the sauces were on point, the beans were perfectly flavored and don’t even get me started on that garlic bread. Despite the place being packed out, service was quick and I was back on the road.
Food was fast, staff was nice. A bit pricey for the portions. Bread was a bit soggy. In and out 30 minutes. Tea is good.

While my waitress was great the host was not. She made a point to tell me that she did not think my service dog looked like a service dog and that she bet she wasn't. I nonchalantly replied but she sure enough is. She is the reason I dropped a star. Not everyone looks the same with a disability and not every service dog is going to be big enough to afford the payments on a new tiny house. While tiny houses are great tiny minds are not.

The food was terrible! Fried corn on the cobb was a mouth full of grease the ribs were dry and greasy and the sliced beef tasted like charcoal😫 this is always packed out so I decided to give it a try! NEVER AGAIN!! Yuck! The 5 stars is for the service, the staff was very nice! Back to Sonny's💁🏾♀
