The server was a wonderful young man. The pulled pork was absolutely delicious. I loved all the sauces but the smoke was the best. Hubs had the brisket. He loved it. The beans, slaw and garlic bread are also tasty. 100% recommend. It has a nice classic BBQ ambiance, and a lot of people with mobility devices could easily navigate; total score for people with alternate abilities!!! read more

Disappointing experience from start to finish. My wife and I came in around 6 PM, and the restaurant was pretty dead, yet we still had a decent wait just to be seated. We ordered, and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time--but unfortunately, that's about the only positive thing I can say. My wife's fries were undercooked and soggy, and her green beans were so heavily salted they were nearly inedible. Her pulled pork was completely bland. My meal wasn't any better. The beans tasted awful, the coleslaw tasted like it came straight from a can, and my pulled pork had to be covered in BBQ sauce just to give it some flavor. The wings were dry and not particularly tasty either. The biggest disappointment was the brisket, which I paid extra for. I've honestly never had brisket as dry and chewy as what I was served tonight. I've had regular beef roasts that were juicier and more tender. None of the meats had the smoke flavor you'd expect from a place that advertises itself as a smokehouse BBQ restaurant. Even the "garlic toast" was disappointing--it was comparable to cheap fast-food Texas toast: underseasoned and undercooked. For the price we paid, this was a seriously disappointing meal. We came in hoping for good BBQ and left wondering what happened to this place. read more

We got sat down and realized that people who got seated after us were getting their drinks before us. This was going on for only about 5 minutes, when our server said that the hostess had forgotten to tell her about us sitting in her section (100% not the waitress's fault). We got our drinks about 20 seconds after we ordered them, and our food after about 5 minutes. To make up for our drinks being delayed, our waitress was kind enough to take them off of our bill. We were in and out in under 30 minutes, the service was very fast, food was great, and our "situation" was handled amazingly. read more

Always a great lunch when I go there. Service is awesome, Denicka keeps the orders coming out quick. Right there if you need anything extra as well. It's not just the food that I go for, it's the atmosphere and the staff. Sonny's gets five stars on both of those boxes. Looking forward to the next visit read more

Had their BBQ on a trip to Florida. Online order was accurate and ready when expected. Pick up service was efficient and friendly. If I had more time I would have dined in. Decor is appropriate and was clean. I enjoyed the food. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Chicken and rib combo dinner. - Barbeque Near Me - Kingsland, Georgia

Tammy is the best Sonny's server in the whole organization. She remembers what people drink months after she saw you last. All Sonny's are pretty consistent but Tammy makes the experience. I always get sliced pork or St. Louis ribs. I am not a big fan of pulled pork and most places serve that, i am thankful to get sliced pork here. read more

I used to visit Sonny's when it was a fast food type place in Jacksonville, NC. I was driving to a conference and saw this Sonny's on the way to my hotel so I stopped in. It was a sit down restaurant but it did have take out. I wanted to order take out but they seemed to be training a new cashier (I assume she was new because even though she was working the register alone there were several mistakes when her orders came out, as I was sitting waiting for mine). People complained that wasn't what they ordered so I'm assuming it was rung in wrong because it was what was on the receipt. I ordered a three meat plate. I would have liked the smoked turkey but it wasn't an option. The next person who ordered asked if he could get that as an option and she said yes, so I wish it had been on the menu as a choice for the combo. I got sliced brisket, sausage and chicken. I probably wouldn't get the sausage as an option again. The star of the show was the sweet potato with the cinnamon butter. Delicious. They also gave me sweet tea but I wanted unsweetened. I know I'm in the minority there so I should have checked it before I left. Everything else was good but I think I should have just ate in the restaurant. read more

Stopped here on my way to Florida for a late lunch. I was greeted and seated right away and asked about my drink order. By the time I had looked at the menu Dericka was back with my drink and asked if I was ready to order. I chose the brisket sandwich on garlic toast. There was several different sauces on the table and I had the sweet one. Very good. My sandwich came out quickly and had a good amount of meat that was tender and had very little fat. I liked the decor of the place, especially the entrance,and it was very clean. I was very well taken care of really good service and very friendly. Easy to get in and out of the main road going into town. read more

Service was excellent! The food was good. Typical chain Sonny's restaurant. Very clean.

Ordered one pound of chopped brisket to go. We get home and found one pound of cubed fat. We salvaged about 10% of edible meat. Called to speak to whoever is in charge and after holding for five minutes hung up. Called again and relayed our disappointment to the take out person and had them let their boss know. Will never return to this location again. read more

Tammy is awesome and always on point! She remembers what we like and can almost place the order for us. We got the egg rolls which are always great and hot!

The guy at the pick up counter was very nice and he made me feel better before I left, but the girl at the drive-through aggravated me after making me sit there forever than to tell me I have to come inside which I've never done before and the whole purpose of ordering online is so I don't have to go through all of this so I will not order again until they fix this. .. so I'm not happy today, especially since I was in pain and wasn't dressed to go in.., I wanted to make things easy on me... and it wasn't read more

Sonny's BBQ - Not happy today - Barbeque Near Me - Kingsland, Georgia

Second time this month going into Sonny's for their Founders Day specials. My husband ordered the pork that was shown for 14.99 and I ordered Ribs and pork $10.99. The last time we ate there, the ribs were way over cooked. This time they were even more over cooked. When our bill came it was way over $45.00. We had water to drink. When we ask for a manager, they sent a young girl, and we explained we were over charged. She grabbed our bill offthe table, and when she came back she had a nasty attitude and dropped our receipt off onto the the. This was the second bad experience we a had in just this month. We will not be going back to this location. When we left at 6.00 PM they had 1 customer in there eating. Business seems to be off. I wonder why? read more

Stopped here for lunch on the drive to Florida. The staff was friendly and accomadating. The atmosphere is comfortable. We always order the half BBQ chicken with 2 sides plus cornbread. The food is plentiful, tasty, and comes out hot. Lots of bbq sauces on the table to choose from. The prices are reasonable. I always order the sweet potato and coleslaw as my sides. My dining mate enjoys the baked beans as one of his sides. It's one of our favorite bbq chain restaurants to go to. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch while heading southbound on I95. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food came quickly and was hot and delicious. The total bill wasn't much more than a fast food restaurant. Overall, a very positive experience. Convenient location just off the interstate. read more

The food was filling and tasted average. The service was average and the ambiance is casual. We were seated right away. The restaurant is clean and the vibe is casual. We ordered corn nuggets as an appetizer and they were probably my favorite part of dinner. They were fried perfectly on the outside, while warm and creamy on the inside. They tasted great with the ranch dip, which was also very good. I ordered the Smokin Caesar Salad with pulled chicken, which is an extra charge. The lettuce seemed fresh. It came with 3 packets of Ken's Caesar dressing to put on the salad, which tasted average. There was a drizzle of BBQ on the pulled chicken, which was such a tiny drizzle, I could barely taste any of the "smokin" part. Not sure what they were trying to do there. The pulled chicken was cooked just right, but tasted okay. I guess I could have added more BBQ sauce myself, but I just settled with the Caesar dressing. My sister had the pulled pork with a side of coleslaw, green beans and garlic bread. She liked everything except the coleslaw. She only had one bite and said it wasn't good. I had some of her pulled pork, green beans, and garlic bread. The pulled pork was tender, but didn't wow me. The garlic bread was probably the best part of that dish, as it was buttered and toasted perfectly. My niece had Sonny's Cuban, which she liked with the BBQ mustard and extra pickles. She didn't finish her Mac & Cheese, which I tried. It was awful. It just didn't taste good. She tried adding BBQ sauce, but it didn't make it any better. Service was professional, but we waited a bit at the end for the ticket. And we weren't asked at any point for drink refills, although their cups are pretty large, so maybe that's why. All-in-all, the portions of each dish were good (we all had left-overs), but together we concluded everything tasted average. Maybe there are other items on the menu that are worth trying, but it might be awhile till I come back to Sonny's for BBQ. read more

Horriible experience....at 5:15 We pulled in for dinner yesterday on Sunday, 3/29/2026 at were told there was NO CHICKEN AVAILALE for at least 30 minutes.....What is goin on?!?!? read more

The lack of management is the problem. When you pull up and the young manager is out smoking with her boyfriend on just about every visit. Then you have waitress staff bad mouthing other coworkers. The food is normally decent. Oh and the only waitress that took the time to make sure you was satisfied was fired for pettiness. Good luck Tammy. Me and my large family of 13 will no longer be back. read more

The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly!! 10/10 recommend!! The atmosphere is also great!

Briania is a great waitress and made sure we got our food and everything we needed also food was great but the waitress was the best

Sonny's in Kingsland used to be the go to place. Last night my husband and I decided to try 1 more time after a very long time of not going there. To say we were disappointed is an understatement! My husband got wings... dry rub... wrong! They were warmed over smoked wings that were dry and awful. My sweet potato tasted amazing, but it was the size of a tennis ball. read more

I recently visited Sonny's BBQ and had a fantastic experience! Our server, Denicka, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, but her excellent service really stood out. Various side options and huge drinks! Also a lot of seating if you decide to eat in. Thank you, Denicka, for making our visit so enjoyable! read more

We decided to give this Sonny's another shot after a few years because of previous bad experiences and we just should've went to Willie Jewell's. They weren't busy and we were seated promptly. It took a few minutes for our waitress to finally make her way over to take our drink order, they were out of coke so we all decided on sweet tea and ordered the tots appetizer as they were out of wings and the barbecue egg rolls. She returned with drinks and took our order and we didn't really see her after that. The hostess brought our semi warm food about 25 minutes later. It tasted ok but was nothing special. We'll stick with Willie Jewell's for barbecue in Kingsland. read more

Great place for quality BBQ with A management team who cares about both guest and employee experience.

I have been met with nothing but hospitality, sincere kindness and excellent food the last three times I have visited this exact Sonny's location. The restaurant is always clean and orderly from the dining room to the to go area to the kitchen. Keep it up, Sonny's Kingsland! You all are appreciated! read more

fast and fresh food. Friendly and attentive servers. I will definitely be back to have some more BBQ.

If I could give them 0 stars - I DEFINITELY would!!! They fired our favorite server, Tammy! She was such an asset, and a friendly, welcoming server! She ALWAYS went above and beyond for my family and others! It's sad she's no longer there. Tammy is amazing, and it so disappointing that she is no longer there. She MADE our experience wonderful every single time, even when we came in with big groups. Tammy made sure everything was fresh, and right the first time! We never had to send anything back with her unlike some of the other servers there. Shame on you Sonny's! Bring Tammy back!!! We won't be returning to Sonny's with her not there! read more

I ordered lunch the other day and a young lady named Emily helped me pick want I way going to order I was very indecisive between the Brisket platter or a Pulled pork sandwich and she was able to explain to me what each consisted of and helped me place my order Thank you Sonny's read more

Loved the whole hog sandwich. Customer service is always amazing. My family always enjoys dining at Sonny's

We stopped in on our way to Florida. It was 8:30 and the place had a decent crowd which is always a good sign. It was clean and we were greeted upon entering and seated shortly thereafter. I had the Cobb salad and it was fresh. My husband ordered the sampler. I sampled his. We enjoyed the pull pork the most, the ribs weren't bad either, the brisket was good as well, but the chicken was bland and undercooked. The tea was sweet and the service was quick. Not bad overall. Great prices and nice family atmosphere. read more

One of our favorites! Excellent food and service! Denicka takes such great care of us...just like family!

I have eaten at Sonny's for 50 years. I ordered take out today, Chicken dinner and a rubbed rib dinner. We got home and the rib dinner only had 4 medium sized ribs. Not sure what happened or if that is the new normal. If it is I won't be back. Chicken dinner was good as usual. read more

Wonderful! I don't know what the rest of the food is like, but the brisket grilled cheese is AMAZING! Banana pudding is pretty tasty too!

Tammy is the GOAT. Absolute best server here. The food was great and i highly recommend the bbq eggrolls. Ambiance is perfect with the great music. The ads on the tvs are odd though read more

Incredible service. Friendly staff that talk to you not just take your order. Southern hospitality at its finest. Ask for Dee.

Customer service here is a 0 out 10. We bought a pulled pork sandwich on garlic bread and one piece of bread was less than half the size of the other piece, we walked back in to get a full size piece of bread and they took ten minutes to just flip the sandwich over so we couldn't see the smaller piece of bread. The store has lost 3 of it's best customers. In this economy you would think customer service would be top notch. Let's do better! read more

I never was a big fan of Sonny's BBQ until recently although I've tried them in a number of locations over the years. One of the things I've come to like about this BBQ chain is they are constantly looking for ways to improve the experience. The game changer for me was the introduction of their "smoked wings" they are absolutely fantastic - so much so that I've a actually started looking at Sonny's as a dining option over places I'm not familiar with because I know I will find consistency here. On a recent unscheduled drive from Connecticut to Florida I decided to stop in and grab dinner it was a little later than I normally like to eat and not long before closing so I was a little concerned about the quality. I grabbed a seat at the bar and was looking to get in and out quickly so I could continue my trip. The lady tending bar was very friendly and accommodating and understood my mission, my food came out quickly and was exactly what I had hoped it would be, smoked wings and rib combo with double green beans - another great experience read more
