    Homemade bbq chips

    This was my first time trying this location; I received a $5 off coupon for signing up for their rewards program so I decided to give it a shot. Overall, the food itself was very good, exactly what I expect from Sonny's, which is a solid chain in my opinion. My only complaints are: 1) the containers used for the street corn appetizer I ordered and the side of beans I ordered were very, VERY small and made it not worth the price. 2) The gave me the wrong type of ribs (I ordered dry rub.) They were still good, though. 3) I requested certain sauces/dressings to be included with my order and they were not.

    I have always loved Sonnys at rhe original location. So when i saw they built another location close to my job, i knew this place was i wanted to take my veteran employees for our annual veterans day luncheon. This place gets busy real quick during lunchtime so get there early or come after the rush. Brisket and ribs are really good as well as the baked beans. I found that the chicken was overpowering with the smoky flavor but chicken was still good. Service was ok but good for a new place.

    Pulled pork ... pulled chicken and sides

    Best BBQ we have had in Gonzales ! Pork was moist with a very good BBQ flavor... I really loved the beans and the mac and cheese....the cornbread was soft and sweet not dry and hard. Hersh took very good care of us ... and we had service with a smile... We will definitely return and bring some friends!! Thank you everyone !! Thanks Hersh !

    Went in during the week for lunch and we were sat in the bar immediately. It's a nice place and lots of seating in the regular dining area. Both the hostess and waitress were great giving us some of their opinions on what to order. We started with the pork egg rolls and Alabama white sauce wings. The pork rolls were good but the wings we did not like. Although they were cooked perfectly it just wasn't the flavor we like. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and my husband ordered a potato loaded and a side of brisket- bc they don't have the large potato it's all something you have to order separately per the waiter. We weren't overly impressed with either meal. A little on the dry side and too much Smokey flavor in the meat. We did like a couple sauce options which they keep on the tables. It took forever to get the ticket and there weren't a lot of people left in there. Just an ok experience and overall not up to standards in the bbq industry here.

    We came right after they opened and the parking lot was already full. We really like the location on Florida Blvd and we're excited to see another location open up in Gonzales. It's new so we were prepared to wait. We had an order of ribs, chicken, jalapeno cheddar smoked sausage and brisket. For the sides we had baked beans, coleslaw, baked sweet potato and garlic bread. Everything was good including the service. Our server, Evelyn was exceptional.

    This was my first visit to a Sonny's, I was expecting more of a fast casual. We were seated quickly, and our sever Cathy L. Was outstanding Food came out quick. This is now my new go-to in Gonzales. The meats are not overly smoked. The tots are just perfect. I can't wait to try one of the bowls. I do have one suggestion, I would think the grilled cheese is made to order. It would be awesome to be able to pick the meat you want on it. I prefer chicken or pork over brisket!! But with that said.....it was delicious and tender!

    Food was good.. a bit bland (for my taste) but there were plenty sauces and flavor options to choose from and the meat had a great smoky taste. Very clean and good service once you got seated. It's good to have this food option on fast food row..

    Visited Sonny's BBQ, Gonzales location, for the first time on Sunday afternoon. I had a hard time finding a parking spot and cars are routed one way through the parking lot, plus the flow of cars through the drive-through line as well. After my second go around, I found a parking spot. Once inside, there was a short wait (I was one of 2 customers waiting). The dining room was hopping with people in motion. I have been a patron of Sonny's BBQ since childhood in Baton Rouge. The idea of the opening of a Gonzales location was a welcomed addition to Ascension parish. I receive text messages regularly for Sonny's BBQ specials and new menu items. This locations layout is new and decorated with BBQ pictures and split wood on racks. The bar area is modest with 3 television screens for patrons to enjoy Sunday afternoon football viewing from the dining room or at the bar. Sonny's serves 6 beers on tap, bottled beer and cocktails too. My waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable. In fact, she shared that part of their training was to taste all menu items, which allows employees to direct patrons about menu items. I ordered the all-you-can-eat BBQ chicken (I chose white meat over dark meat chicken option) Sunday special ($16.99), which came with 2 sides (my choices: BBQ baked beans and a baked sweet potato with cinnamon honey butter) and garlic Texas toast. My BBQ baked beans had bits of meat and a thick sweet BBQ sauce. The baked sweet potato was delicious with the honey cinnamon butter. My meal came with 2 breast quarters and was cooked to perfection. Additional breast quarters or other sides were provided upon request quickly. I personally would have liked a bit more seasoning for flavor enhancing, but the natural smoked flavor from the pit dominated the chicken. Marry the smoky BBQ chicken with my choice of Sonny's Smokin' BBQ sauce was euphoric (other BBQ sauces: Original, Sweet, Sizzlin' and by request Carolina-yellow mustard base vs tomato based sauce). For a Florida based chain BBQ establishment, which has been in operation since 1968, one cannot go wrong with Sonny 's BBQ. I will be back for meaty St. Louis ribs on a return visit. If you are looking for good BBQ at a fair price, Sonny's BBQ the place to be.

But those folks are out there so here is what you will enjoy if you are like me. At the end is what will annoy you if you're like me. The GOOD I know others complained but I love ordering at the counter taking a number and having staff bring food to the table. My cashier noted that I was with a group and was able to ring our orders up separately but associate the same table number. As folks have noted, they do bring out the food as ready so you have to be comfortable with eating before everyone is served or some folks having lukewarm dish. I love unlimited self serve coffee. Others loved their premade coffee drinks especially the boozy one. I also love the decor, the staff, the large outside eating area. The food was interesting. There was a lot of hit and miss within the same dish. For instance, the table shared beignets and fried green tomotoes. I loved the okra and pimento cheese that accompanied the fried green tomatoes but the tomatoes... meh. I think I would like this dish better during peak tomatoe season. The beignets were hard but the strawberries and cream delicious. The MEH The main dishes weren't enough to complain or rave about. Two folks had omelettes, someone had French toast, someone had the biscuit sandwich with crab cakes, and someone had the limited edition biscuit sandwich. The BAD I live in B.R. proper and we have enough brunch breakfast places for me to frequent without driving half an hour. If I am driving, why not just go all the way into New Orleans! There are like 3 spots for groups over 4. So great for groups of four or two. But that's it. Notice that only two out of six people chose a biscuit sandwich. Unless you want some variation of a fried chicken biscuit sandwich, you are out of luck. They have a decent sides list. They could easy add a make your own biscuit sandwich option that allows folks to have three items from sides menu plus a biscuit on the plate and then the guest puts it all together themselves. Make that a price that matches the other sandwich prices. Tada. YOU'RE welcome! So, if I lived in Gonzales/Prairieville, and they made this change to the menu I could see myself visiting every other month or so. How it stands, I don't see myself needing to visit again.

    After a previous not-so-great experience at the bar, I received a call from Jason, the General…read moreManager at Don's Seafood in Gonzales, who personally reached out to apologize and invited me to come back so he could take care of us. He said, "Next time you're in Gonzales, please stop by -- I'd love to meet you." So this past Sunday, Parker and I went in for brunch -- same time of day as before -- but this time we sat in the dining room, and the experience was completely different and absolutely wonderful. From the moment I walked in, Ava at the host stand smiled and said, "Oh, you're back!" and that right there is what I love about great front-of-house teams -- you feel remembered and welcomed. I asked if Jason was there, and it turns out Sunday is normally his day off, but he came in just to see us. That alone meant so much. He was warm, fun, genuinely hospitable, and made us feel truly cared for. And then Connor came by -- now sporting a mustache that somehow makes him look five years older -- but he recognized me right away and gave me a big hug. That kind of genuine connection says everything about the people who work here. Our server, Aaliyah, was phenomenal -- friendly, attentive, and always offering great recommendations with the best attitude. We started with Bloody Marys (which we loved), then ordered 3 pounds of crawfish, which also comes with corn and potatoes. It's early in the season, so they were lightly salty, but still absolutely delicious and perfect with the local draft beer we ordered (I believe it was from Parish Brewing). Such a great pairing. Parker ordered the half grilled shrimp with chicken gumbo, and I had the fried oyster po'boy with seafood gumbo -- mine was fantastic. His gumbo leaned a little salty, but overall everything was flavorful and satisfying. And then... Jason surprised us with king cake, just in time for Mardi Gras. He recommended strawberry and I also went with a classic because I'm a traditionalist when it comes to king cake -- and it was perfect. What really made the experience special was the atmosphere: families, couples, friends -- you could feel that this is a true community spot that people love. It was lively, warm, and full of good energy. Thank you, Jason, for going out of your way and turning a bad experience into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Aaliyah, for being such a wonderful server. And thank you, Connor (and that mustache ) for the hug and the warm welcome back. And thank you, Don's Seafood, for reminding me why this place is such a Gonzales staple. We'll definitely be back.

    Between Mardi Gras and Memorial day, you can't visit south Louisiana without getting several pounds…read moreof fresh boiled crawfish. It is a staple of the I-10 corridor and Don's Seafood is a Lafayette standard now expanded to multiple locations. The Gonzalez, LA location is full of Cajun and traditional southern charm with a modern feel. I sat at the bar and got my Abita beer (my New Orleans go to) and a heaping plate of crawfish (standard 3lb order with corn and potato sides). Takes me back to growing up down south and well seasoned, not too salty or lip burningly spicy. Excellent size for early March as well (if you want mini lobster big, visit in early May). The bartender stayed attentive and made sure to get me the second Abita to wash it all down. Can't wait for my next trip!
