I was told 12 minutes before closing that they would not put in an order and that the kitchen was closed. 12 minutes before closing your kitchen should not be closed. You should be well in place to make a to go order in person. That is not a way to get good business.
Kathy was our server and she was phenomenal. We will be back just to see her. Service is a huge part of the dining out experience and she was amazing.

Sonny's BBQ has had issues with cleanliness and service in the past. Tables have been sticky, and silverware has been dirty. Orders have been incorrect, and food has been subpar, with fatty pork and altered recipes. The coleslaw is a highlight, but overall, the experience has been disappointing. Servers have been apologetic but inefficient, failing to check in with customers and neglecting to offer additional options. Despite past visits, customers have been left feeling unsatisfied and unlikely to return. Recent reviews highlight improvements in staff professionalism, especially at the takeout window, where employees handle busy periods with attentiveness and courtesy. Customers appreciated the delicious, moist food like St. Louis style ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and smoked wings. The restaurant offers kid-friendly options and is wheelchair accessible, though vegetarian choices seem limited. Some visitors noted that parking is available for order pickup and online orders. Overall, while past experiences were poor, recent visits show signs of better service and quality food, making it more recommendable. Customers now often enjoy getting the family feast, which provides plenty of leftovers, and appreciate staff members like Joy, who always takes good care of the customers and makes sure orders are right. However, some recent experiences mention that the food was a little cold or ribs a bit dry, and occasionally, server energy has been low, making the service feel less friendly.
