The food was very good in fact it was better than our Sonny's back home. The portions were great. I wished I would have remembered the name of our server as she went above and beyond for us. We didn't know but my husband left his phone on the table and she came out running to return it to him. Thank you so very much. We will be back. read more

As someone with celiac disease, I had a great experience at Sonny's BBQ. They provided us with an allergy guide, which made it easy to know exactly what was safe to order. I was also happy to learn that all of the sauces available at the table are gluten-free. I ordered the brisket, sliced pork, baked potato, and dirty rice, and everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. My sister, who also has celiac disease, ordered the ribs with a sweet potato and broccolini, and she loved her meal as well. Most importantly, neither of us got sick after eating here. It's always a relief to find a restaurant that takes food allergies seriously and offers clear information for people with celiac disease. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and we'll definitely be coming back! read more

We went back to Sonny's as the recently reopened. The did a nice job in the Reno to the restaurant. Overall the food is good and reasonably priced. I would not say it's the best bbq in SFL but it's good. The service was really slow to start but at least once we ordered our meal that came out pretty quick. To kick a BBQ craving this is a decent spot to come to without breaking the bank. read more

My family and I decided to dine here on 06-07-2026. They recently reopened after over a year closed due to a fire. We had dined here many times prior. We enjoy the good food and reasonable prices. BBQ still slaps and the sides always hit the spot. The updated venue is well lit and more open. We definitely enjoyed the updated space. It is a busy spot so keep that in mind when ordering. You will need to be a little patient. Definitely one of our favorite BBQ spots down south. read more

My family of four drove almost an hour to visit Sonny's Barbecue in Florida City, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. We were seated and waited over 25 minutes without a single server coming to our table to greet us, take our drink order, or even acknowledge that we were there. During that time, I noticed several employees focused on cleaning tables and refilling the barbecue area, while other guests who were seated after us had their orders taken and even received their food. There were also plenty of open tables, so it didn't seem overly busy. A simple greeting or an apology for the wait would have gone a long way. Instead, we felt completely overlooked and ended up leaving without ever being served. Sadly, this was a horrible first impression, and I can't recommend this location based on our experience. read more

We always have a great time at Sonnys. It has a big open bar and alot of seating and it is always clean in there. The hostess and servers are always nice. You can order takeout from the front if you want or on their app. I always order their bbq salad with pulled pork. You can choose between their spicy, original, or sweet bbq (i always prefer a little kick so i do spicy). You also get to choose a Ken's dressing. Their pulled pork is tender and flavorful. I had a coupon for their egg rolls which were delicious-- pretty much tasted like philly cheese steak eggrolls. It comes with a chipotle dipping sauce, so good! Can pretty much guarantee that anything you get here is going to be tasty and leave you feeling satisfied! read more

The restaurant is back open for indoor dining hopefully now they will have their whole menu back now that they are out of the food truck

Dinning room was not open, we googled the location before going and no mention of this, pretty disappointed.

We waited 10 mins to be seated in a near empty restaurant. The food was so disgustingly fatty. part of my meal was brisket, not only was it fatty a piece of it was pure tripe. After I went to the bathroom, I realized there was no toilet paper in the stall. That was a horrible experience and the women's room had nothing to dry your hands with. a lady that was in bathroom with my girlfriend said well I guess I'll have to use the napkins at her table to dry her hands. I emailed them directly but they chose not to respond so now I'll make it public. stay away from Sonnys BBQ in Marianna Florida. read more

I was so excited about the reopening of Sonny's! My husband and I stopped on 7/2 on our way down to the keys. It was late like 8pm and was greeted nicely and seated. We sat there at least 15 mins before a young man said someone will be with you in a min. Someone turned into no one . No acknowledgment from anyone walking by. The hostess did walked by but not a look. The place seamed like it got slammed prior to us so had a little grace for that . 20 mins went by still no acknowledgment. We decided to leave and got up very disappointed in the service. On our way out we let them know and probably won't be back! There was no manager walking around making sure things are running smoothly. That should be a must in a restaurant in my opinion or subject to fail. A piece of advice look at your waitstaff because that lack the intelligence to work there. read more

What a mediocre BBQ. Never go again to this place. Ribs uncooked and the smell was terrible.

Food: not bad, small portion size Service: not good. They are using a food truck out front due to fire restorations in the dining room. When I arrived there were two men in the trailer and neither recognized my arrival. One had is face in his cell phone. A third arrived and took my order. The staff seemed indifferent toward customer. $18 for a single pork sandwich and beans. Just those two items. It was a confused environment a That provoked an uneasy feeling.lack of an orderly process. I won't return soon read more

Thought we'd try this barbecue place for dinner. It was not too busy and quiet so we were able to sit right down. Waitress was friendly. Ordered our drinks and food. Portions are huge!! Everything was fresh and hot. We really enjoyed it. I got the loaded tots appetizer as my meal and couldn't finish it. My husband got the 4 meats meals with green beans and coleslaw. He said it was all very good and fresh. Definitely would recommend!! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Loaded Tots with smoked chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Florida City, Florida

The BBQ was so delicious and has nice great flavor. Every cut of meat was tender, juicy, and has perfect smokey flavor. The food was slow-cooked with care. The brisket was my favorite and it has nice quality of meat. It was nicely seasoned. The ribs slid right off the bone, and the house BBQ Sauce had just the right kick. The side were tasty and so perfect with bbq meat. The drinks were cool and so refreshing. read more

I ordered online and picked up my order. It was ready when I arrived. I ordered the $12 deal with ribs and pork. The quantity of food was great. It's the same great quality Sonny's BBQ. I highly recommend you try it. I'll be back. read more

My third favorite Bbq joint! A restaurant chain...but at our location it is pretty good. The usual bbq flare, chicken, pork.

Food is delicious! My fave is their pulled chicken sandwich, fries and fried ochra with their homemade ranch dressing. Friendly staff and take out orders are always perfect. read more

I have been enjoying Sonnys since 1977 in Gainesville FL, and lately the in Homestead Fl. Sonny's has become a disaster. They are now a food truck, but they do not say that when you order online for takeout. Their ribs were all fat and too greasy to eat. The Garlic toast was literally soaked in oil, the beans were not Sonny's traditional and hated artificial. Nothing about this location can be honestly called BBQ. read more

I had the pulled pork, slaw, sweet potato and corn bread. No more corn is sold at this restaurant neither loose nor on the cob. Bummer. My husband had the baby back ribs, baked potato, slaw and garlic bread. Portions were large and the lemonade was awesome, just the right amount of sweetness and not watered down. Server came out with the food really quickly after placing our order which was awesome. I do miss the corn but supply may be an issue, or product has changed. I had leftovers for lunch the next day just on the pulled pork. read more

I'm not the biggest barbecue fan, but this place was really nice! I hadn't eaten out in a while so it did feel very heavy but it was good! The pulled pork on the loaded tots was the best bit.

Food is amazing (so far) service was impeccable. we ordered on the app and waited 15 minutes and they had our food ready. about $100 for 4 people and 2-3 sides, tip included. i ordered the sonny cuban sandwich and it was really really good. i put their bbq sauce and it was yummy. although the sandwiches should have sides included and the baked sweet potato we ordered looked kinda sad. no toppings. $4 potato :( my husband ordered the sample platter and it was enough food for 2 feedings. he ate a little bit of everything just now and he's got leftovers for later! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Looks like a mess but it's a Sonnys Cuban Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Florida City, Florida

If you meet Tom in the pool of a resort a little further south, he will rave about this place and the Smoked Wings. Believe him! He speaks truth! I can now rave also about the BBQ Pork Egg Rolls (who knew there could be such a thing?) and the Corn Nuggets. Everything was so tasty. So glad we squeezed the in on our way to the airport. We'll worth a visit, no matter what the time, even if you have to do pick up and eat later. But in that case you would miss the super frosty mug of craft beer! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Florida City, Florida

Not the best Sonny''s BBQ joint. The food was okay but I would not go back. Too many good BBQ joints to go to. Sonny's is hot and miss at different locations. Some are excellent and some are terrible. This one fell closer to the bottom. Why???slow kitchen and bad cook's. The ribs were cut hours prior to serving and were dry. At least they replanted them with fresh BBQ sauce before they served them. Do not fall for the all you can eat ribs deal. Just order a full rack of ribs. They will serve you three ribs and it will take time to ask the server for more and then it will take the kitchen 15 minutes to bring you three more ribs. So you are looking at 25 minutes between getting three ribs and the next set of three ribs. Maddening. We just left after the second order. Not worth the wait. They win. But I won't be back. read more

Was in the mood for some BBQ and since I live reasonably close to Sonny's I decided to give it a try. Went with my wife and we were attended pretty quick as the place wasn't full. Service was ok though it took some time. The place inside is very nice and outside they have charging stations for Teslas which is a plus. We ordered the fried okra as appetizer which was nice and crispy. My wife had the BBQ Cobb Salad with brisket and I ordered the brisket platter. Her salad was huge!! My brisket platter was a nice portion with baked beans, Mac & Cheese and corn bread. I'm giving Sonny's 4 stars because the brisket had a good taste but lacked juiciness and seasoning, it was in the dry side. I would go back to try the other dishes from the menu. read more

It was sooooooooo goood , to the point that I want to go back tomorrow . I got the baby back ribs wow delicious !!! Our waitress was a sweetheart , she had curly hair and a big smile every time. I ask for half and half and she brought me half sweet tea and half unsweetened. That's not what I meant but it was delicious ahahah perfect amount of sweet . That woman is a genius I am not being sarcastic I mean it. Can't wait to go back . Also the place was full and extremely quite wish is perfect for me. read more

On our recent trip to Florida from Michigan, we stopped here for dinner. Wow! Was it well worth the stop. Food was great and the service was right on. This wasn't just a stop in though. We searched google maps for different restaurants to eat during our travels. We saw this one and marked it. We read through the reviews and knew we were going to give it a try. Six of us in our party and every one of us were stuffed by the time we were finished eating. If we come down to this area again in the future, we hope to stop here again. read more

Excellent bbq. Have been in a sonny's years ago, don't remember being that impressed. I really loved my food tonight. Had the whole hog sandwich. Sliced pork, pulled pork, and a jalapeño cheddar sausage link with a sweet BBQ sauce on it. Amazing. ( If you are from Oklahoma it reminds me of the Heisman at Billy Simms bbq.) The Coleslaw was crisp and creamy, the green beans were flavorful. Great job! read more

Absolutely delicious everytime! This has ALWYAS been a favorite spot of mine due to the combination of truly scrumptious food and service with a smile! Sonny's offers a variety of appetizers all of which I find filling and tasty- I recommend the southwestern egg rolls! - Fall off the bone ribs, addicting sauce, pulled pork, brisket & more ! This BBQ is sure to satisfy your taste buds and nostalgia too! read more

I love this place, the prices are reasonable with everything getting so expensive. The staff is always so nice and offer you a sweet tea refill to go. I haven't been able to visit since the fire but once they fully open I'll be back. read more

It is nice to have close friends who drive down to meet up with you in Florida City while on vacation in West Palm Beach (originally hailing from Montana). After a 90 minute plus drive and a brief sight seeing visit to Coral Castle under the scorching South Florida sun, we have three starving Montanans. Something within brief driving proximity nevertheless reputable, for Thursday lunch in July. Cannot take them to any place shabby. And unanimously off we drove to Sonny's BBQ. Three chanel markers and one well made bourbon mule quenched our thirst. Hit the spot. Jessica who patiently waited on our table made sure that the beverages arrived promptly as we loudly conversed amongst one another about the lunch menu and gave her insight on our selections. My buddy Linda picked on the Wing Basket, well grilled, "slathered" BBQ flavor shared with mmm crispy tater tots. Though an appetizer can be very much an entrée. Rory and John set could not be held back! Went directly to the "meat" of the lunch menu, Pitmaster Plates Pick 3 Combo... sizeable portions of sliced beef brisket, sweet n smoky ribs & smoked pork with coleslaw, garlic bread and BBQ beans. The last two accompanying sidekicks is a must try as garlic bread with BBQ beans is just mmmm. The Sonny's Cuban Sandwich was for me. I wanted something in between the Pick 3 Combo and wings. Layered right slow cook pork with Swiss cheese over toasted garlic bread. Have to say each bite was delectable. Sonny's BBQ is a must, friendly folks, good service, easy readable menu and great food. read more

I downloaded the app and visited this Sonny's location on Sunday at Lunch. I placed a to-go order for a 1/4 chicken with two sides and garlic bread, with a glass of ice water. The tall, young guy at the register entered my order, and I asked if I could have a breast and a leg and he said "white and dark, sure I can tell them." I mentioned I downloaded the app for the $5 reward for new customers and he had no idea what I was talking about and had to look at my phone to read the offer and didn't even know what I needed to buy to qualify, although it said "entree". The offer is right on the door, which is where I saw it. He did not know how to enter the discount into the register so he asked the woman (manager, I assume) to help. I was asked in the screen the amount of tip I wanted to provide. I chose the "no tip" option after my register experience. After he placed my order, I never saw him mention to anyone that I requested a breast/leg. He also forgot my drink, so I asked if I could have it. He went over to get it and I noticed he said something to the young woman working and she looked over at me. He was clearly upset I didn't give him a tip. For what??? These entitled young people working in restaurants! SMH - They need to EARN a TIP. Go look up the definition of the acronym: "To Insure Promptness". After approx 10 minutes, a different young man handed me the bag with my order, I asked if it was a breast and a leg? He opened the box and clearly it was all dark meat with a thigh, which I hate, and a leg, I said, "that is a thigh, I was supposed to have a breast" and he said "it's a breast". There was no BBQ sauce on my chicken or in the bag and no one even asked if I'd like some for my chicken. This is a BBQ RESTAURANT, for goodness sakes!! I was not even given a choice of sides - I went with what the young guy, who clearly didn't care if he was there or not, entered on the order screen. The cole slaw was tasteless and had large pieces/chunks of inedible cabbage. Clearly straight out of a bag. You need to visit KFC for a lesson on slaw. The baked beans were the best part of the entire meal, the thigh and slaw went to waste. I lived in KC and know good BBQ and I would NEVER go back to this, or any other Sonny's restaurant, after yesterday's experience! read more

It's basically fast food. Not the best BBQ I've had. Service was slow. Good size for a restaurant

Food was outstanding I As a starter I recommend getting the corn nuggetsand I would also recommend the sampler and the cuban sandwich both dishes are great. The cuban sandwich is a twist on the traditional cuban sandwich with an american hold. The sampler gives you an idea of the rest of the items that are on the menu. If you don't know what to get this is a perfect choice. Service was great very courteous quick and knowledgeable. Ambiance was nice Just typical with sports playing in the background and good old country music. read more

SERVICE: 2 FOOD QUALITY: 3 DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME: 3 AESTHETICS: 3 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 4 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 3.33 We were looking for something that was open late and there weren't many options in the area that weren't fast food. We decided on this place because it had decent reviews. Our first impression was wonderful and we got a table right away. Our table was a little sticky and all the paper towel rolls looked dirty from bbq fingers. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was alright. A majority of the meat was overly fatty which kind of ruined my appetite. The bbq sauces were very tasty. We didn't see much of our server so it's hard to say our service was good or bad but due to the sticky tables I rated the service below par. We also got sat right under a fan that was on full blast. After sitting for a little bit we finally looked up to see if we could turn it off but they were too high to reach. Also the fans had so much dust on them that it was obvious that they hadn't been cleaned in quite awhile. Overall it wasn't the best chain bbq restaurant we have ever been too. With a little more cleanliness standards, this place would definitely be a 4 or 5 star. On the positive they are open much later than other places in the area. Also, their bread is on point, and delicious. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Florida City, Florida

Just moved to Florida city. My bf and I were looking for a nice quick place to eat at. We came across Sonny's BBQ on us1 near Walmart. We were seated quickly and our server was Nick. His service was excellent. Really nice and funny dude. He recommended we try the BBQ pork egg rolls as appetizer. They were DELICIOUS. Very crispy too. The egg roll had lots of bbq pork inside with Coleslaw. For our entree we ordered a platter with baby back ribs, sliced brisket, bbq beans, coleslaw, garlic bread and Mac & cheese. The bbq beans were soooooooo freaking good. The baby back ribs barely had meat on them but they were still good. Loved the 4 different types of bbq sauce they had on the table. We also ordered banana pudding which was amazing and 2 chocolate chip cookies. Will definitely be coming back here! read more
