“Family tried this place 2 weeks ago and have been back 3 more times. The ribs are seasoned great and fall off the bone delicious 🤤 Everything is good portions and made good southern style. They were so great with my Aunt’s birthday dinner party with 17 people in the party“

“In a time when service has disappeared quality of food has left the building, the wife and I had a great lunch at Sonny’s. The food and service were both great.“

“The best Texas style bbq in the Jax area. Great outdoor community atmosphere seating area. Dog friendly and a great selection of drinks to choose from.“

“I had 24 people coming for dinner the next day - and I was left hanging by Valley Smoke. A friend suggested Bono’s - and Boy Howdy! Jeremy saved the day!! The best barbecue meal ever, perfect service with a smile, no pretense or ‘on-line’ attitude. This will be my forever barbecue party caterer place.

“I ordered a St. Louis ribs, large platter that included fried corn on the cob and sweet potatoes at ~1:40 pm. The ribs were dry and seemed as if they were cooked yesterday. The corn and sweet potatoes were just warm and not hot. I usually get a better meal than this from Bono’s. I feel like somebody’s trying to avoid throwing away stale food. Every customer visit is an opportunity to impress. It’s also an opportunity to run off a customer. Serving mediocre food is guaranteed to run off customers. The next time I have an urge for barbecue, I’ll probably try some other restaurant.“

“Great restaurant with quick welcoming service. Our server Armin was excellent and was helpful in deciding what to order. We had a margarita and an old fashioned to start. We then ordered the ribs with fries and beans and a salad with chopped brisket. The drinks and the food were delicious. No complaints about anything. Armin is friendly and is the perfect server.“

“Bono’s at the Jacksonville Town Center continues to impress, and this visit was no exception. Candy and Natalie were absolutely phenomenal—warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was perfect. Their professionalism and friendliness set the tone the moment I walked in.

The entire staff deserves recognition. From the kitchen to the front counter, everyone worked together seamlessly to deliver fresh, delicious food and exceptional customer service. You can feel the pride they take in their work, and it shows in every detail.“

“Amazing food !!! Great service !!“

“Beautiful place and excellent food! This maybe become the next regular place for us. Shipwreck wings are amazing!“

“2nd time coming, food was FANTASTIC again. My stepmother said the calamari is the best she has ever had. This woman knows her seafood. I had the oysters and grilled fish. Absolutely amazing. Everyone I have had the pleasure of talking with has been so friendly and cheerful. I have found my new seafood place.“

“We had an excellent dinner for four people. The food was delicious and our server Taylor, was informative, attentive and had a very sweet personality. We'll definitely come back when we're traveling to Jacksonville Beach. Thank you.“

“If your not in a rush, the atmosphere is great, but the service was extremely slow at 2pm on a Friday and not very busy. We waited 25 minutes for the order of a burger, side salad, strawberry salad and onion soup, plus another 20 minutes just to get the bill, and your water was never filled.“

“Great prices and large portions. Staff was excellent and the food was great!“

“Excellent Asian buffet with seafood, sushi, and hibachi grill. We had been going to Orange Buffet in Orange Park but this is better except for the hibachi grill. It looks and feels like a regular restaurant with comfortable booths instead of tables. The emphasis is on Japanese rather than Chinese with quality mussels, shrimp, scallops, snow crab legs, and steak on the dinner menu. Our second time back today and will be going here from now on.“
