    Pulled Pork Sandwich 19.02.2025
    Trisha W.

    3.5 This is such a hard place to review. Over all, this is a good place for food. Sometimes service is a little slow. Sometimes we don't get everything we have ordered in our take our bags. Sometimes we get charged for items we didn't order. Maybe that is why it is not a go to place for food. Then after a while, we go a few times a month again till we start seeing the discrepancies again. 15.08.2025

    Turkey big deal

    Sonny's is always good for quick BBQ. It's casual and convenient to get to. The service is always great. We ordered the Turkey "big deal" and the Pick 2 combo. You get a ton of food as well. Tons of TVs to watch the football games.

    Candied Bacon Chicken Sandwich

    Had a great dinner with hubby and our twin Grandsons. Food was and service was wonderful as usual when we come here. Enjoyed the 4 meat combo which is always more than enough for me to eat 3 times off. Grandsons had the BBQ grilled chicken sandwich with chipotle bacon and sauce and the BBQ cheese burger with chipotle bacon and sauce. Dining area was clean and comfortable. Great place for lunch or dinner with good BBQ.

    We love Sonny's BBQ - but most of all we love the hospitality we receive from our waitress, DANIELLE- very respectful, positive, always attentive to your needs - you will never regret asking for her to serve your table- honestly she is the reason we eat at this location weekly- Thank you Sonny's for the positive experience and best wait staff! God bless Sonny's and God bless Danielle!!

    We always have to stop at a Sonny's whenever we are in Florida. We enjoy the ribs and brisket usually. This time we had sliced pork instead of pulled pork. The pulled pork is usually better as the slices were too thin. A thicker slice would be better. The sides are always good. We had beans, sweet potato, and a side salad. The unlimited sweet tea is also a great choice.

    1/4 chicken, brisket and St. Louis ribs

    Place is busy. Recommendation is to get reservations. There is some seating inside, but all the…read morereal fun is sitting outside where there's plenty of seating with fantastic views of the Manatee river. If it's too hot, or the sun is beating down upon you, ask for seats in the shaded areas/umbrellas. There's a small beach there , many kids running around, their goofing around while waiting for their meal. There is a bar area. Not huge, but since they open @ 11am.. I'd imagine that area is probably full for most of the rest of the day . So, if you're going to sit there, get there by 11:30am. We had a group of five, so we started off sharing the spicy queso dip and the shrimp and crab dip. Both are excellent, the shrimp and crab dip were to die for! A blackened chicken sandwich was tasty and quite well received. The mahi-mahi fish sandwich was blackened, still tasty but slightly underwhelmed. Should've done the grouper. Others in the group were quite satisfied with their meals. Service was good but the place is spread out and quite busy most of the time we were there, which was mid afternoon on a Saturday. This place is fantastic, and if I had to choose between Woody's River Roo & and Whiskey Joe's- I'd take Whiskey Joe's every time. They also have a better selection of craft beers. This is not meant to assassinate Woody's River Roo . The food and drinks are good there. Their prices are reasonable, Their atmosphere is good there. But pound for pound Whiskey Joe's is better. If you want to nitpick , Joe's is priced higher and their parking area is much smaller. Hence, many people choose to do the valet parking. I guess those could be construed as negatives. Again JOE's just puts out a slightly better experience.

The manager actually said "I don't know what to tell you" when we asked if he thought this was ok? The final straw was the incredibly filthy ladies room. If I were having a wedding or an event here, I would be mortified for my guests. If I had gone there first, I would never ever have eaten there Do better Whiskey Joe - this is a prime location and could be so much better with better management!
