We ordered Sonny's barbecue through the drive-through and brought it home to eat. I had the beef brisket and mac & cheese, and it was very tasty. My wife and daughter really enjoyed their chicken fingers, beans, and cornbread. Sweet tea was very good too. Everything was good overall, except the french fries they got a little soggy in the container. I want to give a shout out to Emilio who was at the drive through window. He gave us really good service, he was very friendly, pleasant, and accommodating. His positive attitude, definitely stood out and made the experience better.

Pulled Pork Sandwich 19.02.2025

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
Jennifer M.

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!!

1/4 chicken, brisket and St. Louis ribs
Jonathan S.

Good good, in my opinion it's the best BBQ spot east of the Mississippi. Being from the midwest I know good BBQ and this is the closest. You get a decent amount of food and plenty of sides. My favorite is the St Louis ribs, with the sweet sauce. Garlic toast, baked beans and the sweet potato. My wife quarter chicken, brisket and baked beans. She had the muffin which she says is delicious. The customer service was pretty good and the restaurant looks pretty clean and it didn't take long to receive our food.

This was a great find. Working smokers outside gave the place that authentic BBQ feel, picnic…read moretables outside, more seating inside, wonderful service. This is what a BBQ joint should be. We even got to chat with Eddie the Pitmaster for a couple of minutes, he is the real deal. I love BBQ and to me, there is no such thing as bad BBQ. That said, this was super good. I tried their Beef Brisket Platter and part of their The Pig Mac. With Manny the humanoid pig looking on, we dove in. The brisket was flavorful, no sauce needed. There was plenty of fat and plenty of slices. For my two sides I tried their coleslaw, which was fine, and their cucumber salad. I'm a big flavor guy and love cucumber slices soaked in vinegar. After we had ordered our food another customer stopped by our table and praised their The Pig Mac so much, we added it to our order. What a great recommendation. It is a sandwich with a cheesy patty of mac n' cheese, pulled pork on the side. We even got another side and tried their potato salad made with both white and sweet potatoes. I liked the thinking outside the box potato salad. The pulled pork, like the brisket, stood very well on its own without sauce. The pork topping the cheesy patty just worked so well. We will be back.

Shame on us for not eating here much sooner! The food is…read moreamazing! Hot, fresh and served quick. Our waitress was very kind and polite. Inside there is bar seating area and tables. Hightop or 4 person seating tables. Outdoor patio is covered and many picnic style tables. The pork sandwich comes with a hefty roll on your plate. You make your own sandwich. BBQ sauce is on the table. The brisket was hot fresh and lean. For all of the ridiculous reviews stating it's fatty- hello! Brisket is a fatty cut. It was perfection!

Been wanting to stop in and try this place and finally made it. Parking lot and exterior of the…read morebuilding wasn't anything special...that I'll take as a good sign because I'd rather see a smokehouse put their love into the Barbecue. When I entered I was immediately greeted and told I could sit anywhere I'd like. I sat at a booth and the waitress brought a menu and a wooden pig with all the available sides. Ordered the smoked turkey size large with collard greens and baby potatoes. The turkey was amazing - I could have eaten it without sauces but I tried both of their homemade barbecue sauces and they're both good...one tangy and the other one a little spicy. Waitress checked in a couple times, I cleaned the plate and was out the door. Great barbecue - can't wait to try some more.

Just a short drive from his home, it's apparently one of his go to spots. It's a small space, with limited seating, and when we arrived, I got a good laugh at the (2) goats in the a pen in the parking lot bundled up for the cold weather. There was a bit of a wait inside, but as tabled cleared, they re-sat new parties quickly. The menu had a good variety of options, their sides were listed on a seperate "menu", made with removable velcro items, so when they run out, they can remove it form the list. I went with the combo plate, getting baby back ribs with pull pork, and potato salad and mac and cheese as my sides. The food came out quickly, and the the portion sizes were pretty good. In addition to my food, it also came with a few huge corn fritters, which were tasty and super moist. The ribs and pulls pork were very tasty the mac and cheese was ok, but no better than what you'd get from the blue box, but the potato salad was a bit more authentic. Service was friendly, good portions and fair pricing. I'd visit again !
