We have been coming to Sonneys for trivia night for the last 2 months and everything has been on point! Service is top notch and everyone is so friendly. The food does not disappoint at all. The Corn chowder is the best soup in the valley. I have yet to eat something I didn't like. If you haven't been you gotta go!

When is a Brisket Salad not a Brisket Salad? When the Brisket is missing. We placed a to-go order on 02/22. A photo is attached. We live around 50 miles away from Minden. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the Brisket Salad to not find any Brisket was inside. I thought maybe the Brisket was on the bottom. No.We texted a message to Sonney's on 02/22 with no answer. We called Sonney's on 02/23 & were supposed to receive a call back from the Manager. The Manager never called back. We also purchased a Big Boy & they were out of Hamburger Buns. What kind of BBQ restaurant does not have any Hamburger Buns? They also did not have any Corn Chowder Soup which is supposed to be available everyday.We have eaten here a few other times with no problems. The food has always been good. I am thinking there is a new Manager in place who does not know what they are doing.The moral of this story is to always check your to-go order, especially if you do not live in the Minden area. The other moral is to maybe not eat here anymore.

This was our 3rd visit and it was the final for us. The first was decent but number two and three which was tonight was the final straw. First off they couldn’t make the drink off the drink menu because they had no liqueur to make it. Then my order was wrong, both of our sides were not hot. So disappointing because this place could be a gold mine if ran correctly. Hire someone who can make the correct changes and I’ll try it again… great management is key

I would have to say that they're too busy up front to serve those of us that they put in the back room.. "Everything okay?" As she flew bye was the most heard line on top of I'm sorry every time she passed. Waited for someone to bring water finally started coughing due to such dry throat, asked if the waitress or whoever the blonde gal was for a glass of water she ran into the kitchen area and never returned with the water, our waitress did finally arrive so did the water . :) everyones talking at once, rushing around. The husband asked for beer list ? guess they don't have one she rattled off 4 beers from her order pad.The meal arrived nicley prepared , Yay for ribs nicely done chef?? nice bark , mashed potatoes (more garlic) smiles, cornbread and salad we split this meal as we are small eaters . We do love trying food in the Eastern Sierra. Maybe we hit ya at a bad thyme! Service ? food ? ??

I have taken family and friends here in Gardnerville and love their bbq. When I'm working in Tahoe, I'll take the crew to lunch at the Sonney's there. Both restaurants serve delicious BBQ, don't forget to try their jalapeño poppers or their absolutely amazing grits! Sonneys for the win
