We always enjoy our visit to Sonny’s! The food & service is top notch!
Crowded and service a little slow
We had a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything came out fresh and perfectly cooked. The crab came out hot and steaming and was cooked perfectly. The steaks were so flavorful they didn’t even need any extra seasoning. Our waitress was awesome—friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back!
