    The triple meat plate
    Steven H.

    Service is on point and the ambiance is chill however the BBQ is (for me) lacking. The meat is meant to be smothered in BBQ sauce and if that is your thing I highly recommend however if you are looking for juicy succulent smoked or BBQ this is not the place. All in all probably wouldn't stop here again.

    I wish someone would explain to me how Albany, Georgia is so devoid of good BBQ. I have had Riverside and it was pretty good. I don't dare try Blackbeard's or whatever pirate name it is called that serves seafood with BBQ. A real BBQ joint serves just BBQ. Even though Sonny's is a chain, it is definitely the best BBQ option I know about in Albany. It has recently been remodeled but this is possibly the busiest Sonny's I have ever been in. I bet there were near 35 employees working on a Sunday night and it was packed. I always like the Sampler, which gives you a small portion of brisket, pulled pork, 2 ribs, 1/4 chicken, cornbread, beans, and slaw for about $15. Sometimes, I get bigger portions than others. And anytime I get it, it seems like one night the brisket will be the best and the next time the pork will be the best...etc. For sauce-aholics anonymous everywhere like myself, Sonny's is your must go to joint. You have 5 BBQ sauces - original mild tangy tomato, sweet, Sizzlin Sweet, Smokin, and a mustard base that you have to ask for and comes in packets. Come on, Sonny's, put the mustard one on the table where it belongs! All sauces have their own merit. The mustard one goes best with the pulled pork in my opinion. I like the Sizzlin Sweet the best with it's sweet and spicy tomatoey taste. I think Sonny's has some of the best beans ever with it's thick, sweet, and smoky conglomeration. The slaw is solid and the cornbread is like cake. Sweet tea is always some of the best tea around. Sonny's....easily the best BBQ in Albany.

    So where to begin....... We ended up at this place after going to a few other spots that were closed. Walking up and inside smelled amazing. You can just smell the flavors and love put into this pit BBQ. The staff were friendly and on point with service and then it went to hell. The must have appetizer "Redneck Egg Roll" was not must have. Maybe it was an off day but it was not fried all the way. The inside wasn't hot at all and this was the same with everything we ordered. Nothing and I mean nothing came to the table was hot. It's like they left it on the order pick-up window forever and forgot about it. Taste wise for the main dishes was ok but it would have been better hot... i ordered a hotlink it came out burnt but somehow still cold..... how could that be? The best thing we had was the Arnold Palmer drinks. See pics below.

    I will have to say me and the wife was spending the day together and we came across this place called Sonny's BBQ. We wandered in and the staff was amazing and just made you feel so welcomed like you belonged where you was. We proceeded to order and try it out and let me tell you it was so delicious and we had a great time, Amazingly calm and family atmosphere. Go try them you will not be disappointed.

    Under cook bbq dirty rice wasn't good and raw broccoli.

    It's a nice affordable place to eat but service was horrible today and my sides were not cooked when I called was put on hold and no one returned to the call.

    Went To Sony's In Albany, GA With My Boyfriend For Valentine's Day (2/14/21) And They Had This Special for $21.99 and you could get A appetizer, drinks, ribs, 3 sides & 3 slices of toasted bread. The Staff was so Nice, The Food and our drinks (Dr. pepper) was really really good! And I love how they redid the place! It's so nice inside! Also, this was our first time trying the ''Redneck Egg Rolls'' and we LOVED them! Can't wait to go back and get some more!

    Horrible service. Horrible food. There are many better alternatives. Rib shack and riverfront, for instance. You will regret going here.

    Food was good. I ordered the chicken half and baked beans. The baked beans are a bit sweet but not bad.
