Got my favorite smoked wings as a pick a meal so that I would have veggies. I stopped by as I was passing through on my way to Mobile's airport to pick up my daughter.
Vegetarian options: Love their baked sweet potato and coleslaw options.

If you have hours to burn and don't want to eat good food, this is the place for you! We had a large party (16) so we anticipated a wait. Got there at 12:30 and got on the list. It was not packed, but there were people eating and waiting. After an hour of waiting we asked how long and they said they were "cleaning the table". There was next to no one in the restaurant at this point, there were 4 workers hanging out and chatting at the hostess stand and plenty of tables available. We finally got seated about 15 minutes later. Waitress came and took our order within 10 minutes. It took another 20 to get drinks (mostly water was ordered) and 45 minutes for our food to come out. The waitress was working but seemed to be the only one actually doing so. Food there is normally subpar but it was somehow worse today, maybe just the whole experience tainted it. We finally got to leave at about 3:00p.m. All the while they were cranking out their to go orders, which seem to be their priority instead of the people sitting in the building. As there were at least 4 workers hanging out on their phones or goofing at the bar anytime you looked. We won't be back to this poorly managed store. I do not recommend you visit this location.

I friggin LOVE the decor and aroma, plus the young ladies behind the counter were hustling! I ordered NNQ egg rolls, the sampler with ribs/all white/pulled pork & chopped brisket with Coleslaw/bbq beans & Mac n cheese sidekicks, banana pudding for dessert and chose sweet sizzlin sauce. The novelty of the egg rolls wasn’t lost on me, but I found the texture of the stuffing off-putting and they were definitely not delicious. Unfortunately the beans looked and tasted like generic canned baked beans, not a hint of smokiness nor any added seasons. TBH the lack of flavor was shocking juxtaposed to the intensely delicious meats! The white meat chicken was juicy and flavorful with every bite, the ribs were tender and flavorful on their own(like the sauce was just superfluous if I’m honest) the brisket & pulled pork were dry AF yet still very flavorful on their own- the SUPER yummy sweet-sizzlin sauce helped a little with the dryness.The Coleslaw and TX toast were basic- nothing to feel any particular way about(good nor bad). NGL, I was very pleasantly surprised at how yummy the Mac n cheese was- ESPECIALLY with the ribs and chicken 🤤. It was pretty disappointing to eat the silky goodness that was the banana pudding only to find slimy-brown chunks of bananas at the bottom. Will for sure be back for the chicken & am excited to taste more of the menu.

Stopped in for a late lunch while on vacation and had a wonderful meal! Our waiter was Stephen who was on top of everything, and was very attentive! The place was clean and the food was great. My family will be coming back when we’re in the area.

I had a wonderful experience!! Stephen took such good care of us, and made some great recommendations! And we had a great conversation as well. This is probably the best location of Sonny’s that I’ve been to.

Stephen is my server of choice at Chellie rd. The food is always good but to make your experience better ask for Stephen's section. We went tonight with friends and even though their daughter was acting up he handle everything like a pro. Thank you and good job

We came through drive through and ask that our baby back ribs were put on the grill till they are almost burned and the young Hispanic lady repeated our order correctly. Where we were at window she told us she checked the ribs and sent them back to be put on the grill for longer. When we got them they were perfect. We so much appreciate her. Most of the time they are not cooked to our liking.
Kid-friendliness: The Hispanic lady at the drive through was the best. Over the years almost all the servers are courteous and polite but none like her.
