I was nervous to eat here cuz you walk into multiple now hiring signs up. Sure enough the service was questionable at best. Anyone we dealt with seemed annoyed with us. Our server wasn't seen after dropping off the food and was just sitting on the other side of where we were. The tables were at least set up well with salt, pepper, ketchup, 4 styles BBQ, and a whole roll of paper towels. However I wasn't offered a refill on my drink but managed to get one to go. Sides definitely could have been larger. Everything was very flavorful but I definitely needed to utilize that roll of paper towels. It smells so great walking up and it tastes amazing I just wish service had been better.

I ordered through the drive through. The brisket was the best out of the order. I got a bake potato with cinnamon not sure why that happened. The other items on the list were not tasteful either. They were dried out.

When I say this will be my last time going to Sonny's I mean it. The ribs were extremely dry and tough. The side items were cold. I can't understand how you would even serve someone this type of food. Very disappointing!

Ribs were cold and dry cooked the day before probably more than likely. Yes baked beans were cold. Food is definitely going into the microwave the next day such a disappointment.

I purchased a full slap of St.Louis with fries and Broccoli. Getting ready to eat the ribs I noticed that they don't remove the Membrane from the meatThat is disappointing and not good at all . Upon calling the manager on duty confirmed that they do not remove that Skin and that is one of the nastiest things I have ever seen. I have never experienced this I really don't know how I feel besides being disappointed and sick at the same time .

While Sonny's BBQ is renowned for its consistent quality, excellent service, and value, my recent visit to this location left much to be desired. Despite their reputation for freshly prepared, flavorful dishes, the St. Louis dry rub ribs fell short of expectations.It's uncertain whether the ribs were cooked earlier in the day or even the day before my visit. While I appreciate the concept of a dry rub, it shouldn't result in meat that's lukewarm and excessively dry. Unfortunately, these ribs were undersized, tough, and lacked moisture, greatly diminishing their appeal. Their lack of juiciness and excessive chewiness, combined with being served at room temperature, further detracted from the experience.Although the garlic bread, cole slaw, and a refreshing glass of water provided some consolation, they couldn't overshadow the overall disappointment.Regrettably, I cannot recommend this location for those seeking a freshly cooked, hot meal, especially during the early bird lunch hours. Perhaps later in the day, when BBQ meats are freshly prepared, the experience might be more satisfying.

You all do not know how nervous I was to try this place due to the mixed reviews. My husband and I took a chance and we were NOT disappointed!!!!!!! The baby back ribs were SO tasty!! They were hot and fresh. It is usually hit or miss with any restaurant when it comes to Togo orders. The egg rolls were also great and the loaded tots!! I wasn't impressed with the Mac and cheese, didn't have much of any flavor. Just my opinion. We will definitely return.

After a series of bad service and bad food a little over a year ago we decided to give them another chance in hopes that they had improved. We were half right. Our waitress was nice and pretty content but the food was pretty bad still. Now the good part is all the sides were really good and we got corn nuggets as an appetizer and they were good even though they didn't put the powdered sugar on them which I'm not quite sure I would have liked anyway. Now the bad. My wife had to pick three meat and she got the pulled pork which wasn't actually pulled it was more like four big chunks with a few strands and the problem with that was we basically had to shred it ourselves then that had no sauce or liquid in it so it was very dry and not very tasty. The second was the quarter chicken white and it was pretty good and juicy but had way too much fake smoke flavoring. And actuality, about everything had a very heavy fake smoke taste. I've been eating smoked barbecue for over 30 years so I know what natural smoke taste like and this just wasn't it. Her third meat was the wings which you only get three of and they were so crispy that you couldn't bite into them they were so hard which is confusing because they were supposed to be smoked wings wasn't sure why they tasted like they were smoked then deep fried for like 30 minutes. Had a burnt char taste to it. I had the baby back ribs which tasted good but literally look like they came from a pigeon and not a pig. The entire rack was probably about 7 in long it didn't even cover the plate and the littlest bones were about half the size of my pinky and I have small hands and the biggest bone wasn't even as long as my index finger. Maybe I expect more for $23 but honestly this would have made about half a rack at any other restaurant so that was very disappointing. However the baked beans, mac and cheese coleslaw and of course the corn nuggets were really good.

My wife received ribs, brisket and corn nuggets that weren't fully prepared. Sonny's made things right but the inconvenience was unacceptable. The server did a great job; I wish that I could remember her name so that I could give her the kudos that she deserves. I was disappointed to see that the blacks were being seated in the back of the restaurant; but I will chalk that up to coincidence.
