This place keeps going up and down with their food. Not consistent. The brisket is really dry and tough.(dine jn) The quarter chicken leg and thigh seldom comes dry and stale . (Drive through) so at home it's too late to go back. Often heard people in kitchen yelling at each other. Not at all professional.

Takeout order. Great customer service, and as always the order was prepared super-fast. My go-to is combo plate with babyback ribs and chicken breast/wing. The sweet potato was even better than usual, if that's possible. The baked potato came with real butter (whipped) and sour cream. Baked beans were excellent as always. The tater tots did not fare all that well on the 30-minute drive home, but I'm not complaining. The green beans had a good taste, but I always get a stem mixed in--idk why that is--also they tend to be overcooked, but I'm ok with that.

Two weeks in a row...both experiences amazing...Jhon is awesome. The peach-dark cherry-palmer is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Not usually a sweet drink person...but, OMG! I dropped one star for food and one for atmosphere. Sandwich could have had a little more meat for sliced pork; atmosphere, because it was a little cold in there. My entire party were cold. I am pretty warm natured, and I was cold. So glad you guys are back. You guys need a 'heavy hands' sandwich (twice the meat...just not twice the price).

It's such a relaxing place. You walk in everyone say hello. Besides the food I enjoy the atmosphere it's not loud but I don't feel like I have to whisper. I get a simple meal sliced pork sandwich and fries. And my service is faster the fast food chains. Literally get a sit down meal. Order eat and pay under 30 minutes. Back to work.

Always a great experience at Sonny's. We were there to celebrate an 80th birthday for a family member, brought the cake and forgot candles... The manager ran across the street to the CVS and bought candles for us & gave them to us to use with our cake. Super Sweet guy, who obviously understands what it means to go the extra mile. We greatly appreciate that act of kindness!

I haven’t been to Sonny’s in over 10 years. I was craving bbq. I got the pick 2 plate; I got the sliced brisket, sweet and Smokey ribs with fried okra, Mac n cheese, and garlic bread. I don’t recall brisket, ribs, and okra being an up charge. Let alone so many up charge for certain meats and sides. So this plate cost $28.
Personally, I thought the portion size was small for $28. Aside from portion size, the flavor is still the same from what I remember. It was good to fulfill my cravings.

I Love Sonny's! One of my favorite BBQ spots. I don't live near one anymore, so I try to hit every one I see when traveling. This store is great. Attentive servers, the food came out wicked fast and was perfectly cooked. The only thing not perfect was the bread pudding. It was dried out or over cooked. Was more like old French toast. So I don't recommend that item. But my pulled pork sandwich, fries,& BBQ beans were perfection!
