    I was so excited to order takeout from here being that I was in town for Thanksgiving. I ordered the dry rub wings and they gave me old wings!! The wings were so old and dry that the seasoning didn't even take. I'm so upset that I spent my money here to get served bad food.

    Gosh, I hope you came hungry cause they don't mess around. Although to make the matter more complicated, I hit more meat than I was supposed to have with this meat platter. Happy little mistake, that I consumed later as I had to getwhat I didn't finish to go. Service was fine,. probably better than fine as I was a lucky guest. It's definitely a modern BBQ house interior which works. I'd go back, not the best BBQ I've ever had at this particular branch, but still very enjoyable.

    Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich with green beans

    A great BBQ joint here in Gainesville, FL. The original Sonny's was created here in Gainesville and this is legit BBQ! The Carolina BBQ sandwich was delicious. The atmosphere was very family friendly and rustic. Definitely a must-have when coming to Gainesville. Our waitress was awesome as well.

    Don't use the drive through, and check your to-go orders carefully. I tried to order a smoked turkey sandwich, but they were out. I ordered a brisket sandwich on a bun with mustard sauce, a side of coleslaw, and unsweetened tea. The order taker read it back wrong so I repeated the order. I pulled up to the window, paid, and he handed me my drink saying "Here's your sweet tea". So, of course, I informed him a third time that I ordered unsweetened tea. I pulled forward and waited. He brought the rest of my order out and I asked him if the mustard sauce was in the bag. He said "You wanted mustard sauce?". Of course, that was the third time I told him. He brought me the mustard sauce and I was on my way. I should have checked the sandwich because after I got back to my hotel and opened the container, my sandwich was not on a bun, it was on a unbelievably greasy Texas toast. To top it off, there were large chunks of fat in the sandwich (see the picture). What a terrible experience. The only thing edible was the cole slaw, which was excellent. I will add that I believe it is this Sonny's location that is terrible. Yesterday, I got takeout at the Sonny's in Waldo as I was driving down from Jacksonville, and it was a five star experience.
