I have been to many Sonny's BBQ restaurants.I completely forgot to take pictures of the entrees.The beer was the Amber currently on tap. The best part was the BOGO during Happy Hour.The salad was pre-made. I don't know how long it had been sitting in the walk-in, but long enough for the cucumbers to shed off their water and pool in the bottom of the bowl. The salad greens were wilted, but the portion size was good for a side salad.The entrees were: meat sampler platter and a steak burger.The burger was good... not "smashed cooked " with the crisp of other Sonny's sites I have been to.The sampler platter was dry. I asked for the fat cap AND to have my brisket chopped so it would be juicier, and it came out sliced and dry.The pulled pork was good, the chicken had zero salt, and the ribs were dry. The sweet potato was stringy. The cornbread was good.The service was really slow, and there were only 2 other tables being occupied, and the Elk's Lodge meeting in the back room was finishing when we arrived.All in all, I don't know if I will ever eat at this Sonny's again, and I can't say I would recommend it either.

If you haven't been recently, they renovated. It's comfortable. Bar is simple, away from restaurant. They now have a party room. You can order from the menu or ask them to provide 3 or 4 catering options for your guests to choose from for ease of your event and payment. Ask for Kirby and tell him Sandra sent you.
Food was great service was great would definitely go there again the only thing I would suggest is not sitting under the AC it was pretty chilly

Ordered $24 worth of food on my lunch break and have been here 3x before.. Today it was a problem with ordering the food online and dining inside. We came out got the food in their takeout order area and proceeded immediately to the dining area, times before we have been told by staff and the take out order receptionist that it was okay to sit inside. So maybe Sonny’s need to incorporate an online ordering option that allows for dine in. Unfortunately I won’t be back customer service is horrible and food is not worth the hassle. If it was an issue this time it should have been an issue everytime. This was my first time seeing this particular manager, that was working in the back, also asked for a refill as I have in the past and was told no, wasn’t asked if I wanted to pay for it or not. The servers may have told, but that sucks for them because we have always tipped even though they didn’t service us. Customer service goes along way.

Got take out 4-8-24 around 6:20 pm. After our exhausting work shifts, Me and my husband both got the pick 3 with dry rub ribs and sliced brisket. He got sliced pork as well while I got dark meat chicken. All the meats were extremely dry and disgusting, especially the ribs. I should have taken a picture of it all but I fed the other meats to my dog as soon as I tasted it. The ribs were so hard and dry and extremely thin that they felt like actual bone. I couldn’t even pull the meat off of them. The corn nuggets were cold and not cooked all the way. The only thing we could eat were the bbq beans and the garlic bread. Extremely dissatisfied!! we love sonnys but the last handful of times we have been, there has always been some sort of problem. I never post reviews, but this time was a little ridiculous to say the least!!!

First off, our waitress, Hailey, was phenomenal. She was friendly, polite, and professional. She was knowledgeable about the menu. She also takes great care of her customers.The food selection and taste were great. There is plenty of seating. It's definitely worth the visit. Make sure to get Hailey as the waitress.
One of the best and most consistent places in Pensacola! So easy to work with and always pleasant and helpful.

Could enjoy. Better without the wood smoke. The vent wasn’t open or something. Allergic to wood smoke. It has never been this way before!
