Takeout for a party of 10. Super friendly and efficient service. Large selection of bbq, sides, and excellent corn bread. We got pulled pork, sliced and chopped brisket, pulled chicken, mac & cheese, cole slaw, and cornbread. We made our own beans to keep them vegetarian. Definitely will be back! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Enjoyed the 4 meat combo which is always more than enough for me to eat 3 times off.

The inconsistency in the food quality is very hit or miss with takeout. A pulled pork dinner had 3/4 black burndt ends but it was mostly burnt skin. There was very little edible meat. The baked beans were skimpy and the sweet potato was ok. The garlic bread was unremarkable at best. I was so disgusted. When I eat in the restaurant the quality is decent. And when I get takeaway I go inside to order. But I can't see it before I get home. Save yourself some money and skip Sonny! read more

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. read more

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. read more

My husband and I rarely go out to eat. We transport rescue dogs and decided to stop at Sonny's. We were started quickly for a Saturday night. Our server was great but it was so freaking cold in there that my husband was shaking and his teeth were chattering. He was wearing long pants and long sleeves. The table next to us also complained about the cold. When our food came, neither of us could enjoy it, so we packed it up and left. It was just so disappointing because we never go out to eat and when we did, we couldn't eat it. $60 wasted. If you decide to go to this location, wear a parka and gloves and maybe a hat. read more

Terrible food. Took takeout for 4 adults and 2 children. My 4 meat combo was full of grease and fat. White meat chicken was only thing not fatty. Wife got a salad with what was supposed to be chopped brisket , what she got was two blobs of fat and grizzle that should have been thrown out when person cooking the meat trimmed it. Childrens grilled cheese was literally one slice of American cheese on toast. Children chicken fingers was two pieces and ten French fries. Also was missing several sides that should have been with adult meals. Note I have eaten at Sonny's BBQ in Spring Hill several times and quality and volume was so much better. Will not order from the Bradenton one again. read more

Now they have the honor of THE WORST COLESLAW of any bbq restaurant. They changed to a cheaper, very course cut cabbage, which my experience it had an odd aftertaste. Almost a metallic flavor.

The manager came out and gave us our orders. I had no cash. I thought the manager said come back and pay later. I went back the next day to pay for my food which again was great. I walked in and the cashier recognized me and said our friend came back. I told them I was there to pay for my food from yesterday. The manager said you don't have to pay for that order, I just asked you to come visit us again. So I ordered more food paid for it and enjoyed that Order also. Yes I recommend Sonny's! read more

On 08-03-2025 I ate at the Sonny's restaurant at 631 67th St Cir E in Bradenton, FL. This is a family-style BBQ restaurant with a very comfortable and welcoming ambiance. I arrived for dinner and was promptly seated. I had their Big Deal Turkey on a bun with fries, a side order of baked beans, and an unsweet tea. My food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked properly. It came exactly as I ordered it and was very tasty. A variety of sauces were available, and I selected the Sweet sauce. My server during my visit was Danielle. She was very efficient, kept my tea glass filled, and responded to any and all requests I had. I have had Danielle for a server several times before, and I consistently receive superior service from her. She is always friendly and courteous and takes a genuine interest in her customers, making sure that they have a positive dining experience. She is a credit and an asset to the business. I recommend this restaurant and will be returning there again to eat. read more

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.

When I entered the restaurant I noticed a few tables to eat at and an order counter. The place looked bright and clean. A gentleman greeted me as I entered saying welcome...that was nice. As I looked at the menu I couldn't find brisket anywhere and then there it was - a sign saying they no longer cooked brisket. I was bummed to say the least but decided to order a combo plate with ribs and chicken anyway. The plate meal comes with two sides and a roll and a choice of barbecue sauce. When I ate it - the ribs were excellent and very tender and I enjoyed the smoked chicken too - all in all a great meal for the price, just wish they still had brisket.

Family run BBQ / soul food. I had the pulled pork with the sweet heat sauce. Very good. I had…read morecollared greens and Mac and cheese as my sides. I really enjoyed the greens and the Mac and cheese was average but still yummy. The prices are out of this world reasonable. Great meal for a great deal. I would definitely be back if I'm in the area.

Bbq was dry and their wasn't bbq sauce in my to go bag, the mac was atrocious, an embarrassment. I genuinely can't believe they sold me this! In the future if your out of mac, say so. Don't serve a client the worst Mac ever and call yourself soul food. It's an insult to the generations of home cooking and passion soul food stands for. I am mostly insulted in the mac. Check it out!

We ordered 2 lunch specials; both come with cornbread ($21). Everything is homemade by T&L themselves! -Pulled pork w/ Mac&cheese & baked beans -Rib bites w/ collard greens & coleslaw We recommend the pulled pork, coleslaw & baked beans (our favorite of the bunch). The cornbread and bbq sauces were also super tasty. Also, since it was our first time visiting, T threw in some sodas for free, which was so nice! We are definitely going to spread the word & tell our friends & family in the area to check T&L's out.

Hickory Hollow Barbeque

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 !

The lighting and space is well designed with being able to reserve upper floor, bottom floor and main floor that has a bar. Reserve a place you would want I recommend a a full week ahead. There is valley parking and across the street. The servers make check ups, they take food allergies seriously and make sure to make the food safe. I recommend this place for those that want an experience of a fancy romance. Or a friend evening. Prices can range $$-$$$$ They allow you to see your check from a quick scan on the table. Great experience!!

I wasn't sure what to expect when seeing the storefront because it's in a strip mall. We sat down in the booth-type seats to the left and found that they were sticky which kind of put me off a little, but I decided to still try it after reading all these reviews. All of the tables were clean and the actual restaurant was clean too. We ordered a single patty burger (for my 4 year old), 2 original Betty sandwiches with sweet potato fries, garlic Parmesan fries, and the bacon cheeseburger. The sweet potato fries were the best. I was wishing for some maple dipping sauce other than what we got. The bread on the chicken sandwich was a bit stale and the ratio of bread to chicken was off for me, however the chicken was delicious.. I was really wishing for a different bun. Same thing with all of our sandwiches... we felt like the bread overpowered the rest of it. I asked for no sauce and ended up getting the sauce... which was fine but I really just wanted to taste the chicken. I will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu! Give it a try if you're in the area!

Other tables were seated after us and we saw their servers greet them and bring waters immediately. I ordered a sandwich with no tomatoes. I have a few food allergies so I'm used to double checking my food. The plate comes out and it looks fine. No tomatoes. Opened the sandwich and it was clear that tomatoes had originally been put in the sandwich and then taken out before coming to the table. There were tomato pieces/seeds left on the meat of the sandwich. I did not eat the sandwich after seeing that. I told both the server and the host as we left the restaurant. We paid full price and were given a quick "I'm sorry." I wasn't looking for a refund or for the sandwich to be remade. I didn't trust the kitchen at that point. Just a heads up to anyone who dines here with ingredient restrictions. Slow service and careless mistakes.
