    Takeout menu October 2025
    Lisa C.

    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.

    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.

    It's supposed to be a pound of chopped brisket, instead it is a pound of cubed fat.

    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.

    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 ribs we so good fall off the bone and sweet just like I like it! Food here is always good that I forgot to take the picture before adding sauce!

    Not happy today

    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

    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.

    The food was filling and tasted average. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was average and the ambiance is casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean and the vibe is casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Oh my, what a great dining experience! Driving from S. FL to Marietta, GA I made a stop at Captain…read moreStan's Smokehouse in Woodbine, GA, looking for some southern comfort food. Looking from the parking lot I wasn't sure, but once I entered the premises I knew the place would at least be a fun experience. They have indoor and outdoor dining, a stage , a fountain to wash hands after some awesome tasting BBQ. That is saying a lot for me, who isn't the biggest fan of BBQ. ( I was hoping for fried liver, but was wowed by the great meal I chose!) I had the Holy Trinity, which had amazing Boston butt with baked beans and coleslaw. My side was southern comfort food: collard greens. The Boston butt was aromatic with the smoking that was done to it & tender. It had no need for any additional BBQ sauce as the baked beans added wonderful flavor topped with the crunchiness of a creamy coleslaw! Heaven in your mouth! The collard greens were a perfect addition. What I loved about the greens is they had some smoky (bacon) taste but it wasn't overpowering and salty like I've had at some places. It was just right and the perfect side to the meal. I found the portion just right for the weary traveler I was that day. The waitress was efficient and helpful in making a decision as to what to get. The ambiance was rustic country with families coming in for their dinners. The fountain they use for washing hands was a cute touch. And I even got to enjoy some live music before I left on a weeknight no less! And by the way the music was enjoyable as it wasn't blasting but added to the quaint ambience this place offers its customers. A definite need to go back there!

    Went here for late lunch / early dinner on a weekend in the winter. The place is interesting…read morebecause there were no windows and the breeze was blowing through the building. Luckily there was a space heater right next to us to provide warmth. The outdoor seating had big heaters too, but they were reluctant to turn those on. The place had a really laid-back, country ambiance, like you would imagine a bbq joint to have. There were rolls of paper towels at the tables and your food comes in a plastic tray lined with aluminum foil and some plastic silverware. I had the centercut rib meal specifically because it comes with two sides and I wanted baked-beans and collard greens. The collards were but big unlike the chopped stuff I've had in the past and were good. The baked-beans were also good and I ate most of those too. The ribs (two) looked beautiful with the bark seasoning and they tasted good too. The meal came with some bread that did not taste good and I didn't want to eat all of it. The sweet tea was fabulous and you get free refills and already comes in a styrofoam to-go cup for the win. The service was excellent. The two younger waitresses were very nice, attentive, and helpful. No problems there. We learned from them that there is live music many nights during the week in the evening from around 5-6pm to close (I think around 9pm) Although I had a great experience at Captain Stan's, I unfortunately cannot say that the food is life-changing, which is what I am looking for with BBQ. The prices were fair and the portions were more than adequate. *tip - they offer a military discount.
