I've only had Sonny's when catered at an event until this visit. I wasn't familiar with the menu or options. I opted for the Sonny's sampler. The picture you see is literally a half portion of each of the meats I ordered pulled pork, chopped brisket, 1/4 white meat chicken and two ribs. Also, half a corn muffin. This is full size of green beans and sweet potato that I chose as my sides. I thought I would eat from this dinner two times but there was actually enough for one dinner and two lunches! I wouldn't order the seasoned ribs again. They were pretty flavorless. The pulled pork was better as served, before any of the sauces I tried with it. The 1/4 white meat chicken was surprisingly moist and flavorful! The chopped brisket was the star of the meats I had selected! The corn muffin was a bit mushy for my liking. The green beans weren't anything special. The sweet potato was quite good. My son was the reason for choosing Sonny's for dinner. He has had the Cuban they serve before and loves it. This time he added "more meat" and chose brisket as the extra meat. He also loves their Mac and cheese. He ate half his dinner and the rest for lunch. This guy has a very hearty appetite so that's saying a lot. Over all, for less than $40.00, ready and made as ordered, in a reasonable time plus the number of times we both ate from our meals no complaints here. Next time I would opt for the chicken and brisket. read more

See all

I ordered here delivery and I called in advance to ask if shed throw a couple condiements in the bag, she said yes but it was a half ass yes and I had a little feeling it wasnt gonna be in there and sure enough it wasnt. Look you mother truckers, if I in advance to ask for something, I need that something in order to make the other something work. Fries dont work without ketchup! Okra doesnt work without ranch! Do what you say you're going to do half ass MELISSAAAAAA! read more

Atmosphere: I have never seen a Sonny's before but I think it's a chain. In any case, it had a chain feel to it which is not bad at all. The dining area is comfortable. They have tv's around so it causes issues with distraction when are trying to have conversation. It is fun to come when football is on because they may have your team on. Plenty of room in the booths and everything has a wooden look to go with the smokey feel. Food: The chopped brisket was okay. I picked it because the sliced brisket is lean where the chopped was marbled. My wife ordered ribs and said they were good but not the best. She did say that the wet wipes fell apart in her hands during use so they need to upgrade to better quality wet wipes. The corn bread was good but would be better is they used real butter instead of Country Crock fake butter spread. Service: Excellent. Our server was Ceryna was very nice and did a great job. I would recommend sitting in her section. read more

Ordered the pork 3-ways with coleslaw and macaroni n cheese (simple enough no modification). What they decided to give me was pork 2-ways and half filled side cups. I'm glad that my $20 dinner plus tip was the size of a lunch and was the product of a restaurant that doesn't take pride in their meals. read more

Ordered takeout from here and was amazed has fast I got the food. What really amazed me was the curbside pick-up. I especially needed it at that moment. The food was good. I ordered online. They didn't have an option to pick lean, but I put it in the comment and got exactly what I asked for. Will definitely be going back read more

Great local Florida grown bbq awesome food Please support your local FL grown and native bbq company I'm a native a proud supporter of my natives read more

Seems the only time we go to Sonny's anymore is for a fundraiser.... because Sonny's does SO MANY of them!!! YAY!!! Even though they are a chain, they are constantly giving back to the community. Last night, we went to support a local school's music program. This location has been renovated in the past few years, and is clean, modern, and the staff works like a well oiled machine! Food is consistent, service is fast, and the price is right. And with a huge salad bar, there is something for everyone! Thanks for giving back to the community! read more

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

Went to the largo restaurant, was not at all happy with the food. I had Brisket not all that tender and not much flavor, the sausage was good the slaw and beans were great . My wife had a chicken leg don't think it was BBQd , the ribs she had , she had to chew the meat off the bone it did not come off very easily. We had to put on a lot of extra sauce. The waitress was not very nice and the hostess was really pissy . Won't be going back there ever again read more

Our waitress was just plain miserable!! It wasn't busy but she rushed us to order took forever to get our food to the point it was cold! I got the sampler. Brisket was so cold it was hard as a rock the chicken was pink the ribs and pulled pork was cold as well but was able to eat it. The family I was with found hair in her kids meal. We were planning on ordering dessert but she just handed us our checks and walked away without asking if we wanted dessert or needed boxes. So I had to ask someone else for a box. That was my second time ever going here first time was amazing this time put y'all on the no go list of restaurants for my family. read more

Very good food, great waiter, fast service. I loved the HUGH cups they use for drinks.

Second time having Sonny's, it is so good. 12/10 Got the brisket grilled cheese and potato salad simple yet delicious

Wow never miss a chance for Sonny's when we're in the US. Absolutely love there salad with smoked meat delicious. The sandwiches are delicious and the ribs yummy. The wonton wraps are to die for. Can't say enough honestly the staff are great the food incredible and the beer really cold in frosted mugs. Our go to is on Titusville you guys are the best. GO HUNGRY Cheers can't wait for a repeat visit again. read more

While on vacation, we decided upon BBQ and decided to try Sonny's (was close to our hotel). The parking lot was packed, so we were thinking "Wow, this is the place", it's NOT.. Once we got seated, took a while to get drinks. Forget trying to get refills or even SILVERWARE.. Took ONE HOUR from the time we got seated until we got our dinner.. INEXCUSABLE.. They seemed short-staffed and overwhelmed. Two LARGE parties had come in and not sure if they pre-ordered (maybe we should have if we had that option). THANK GOD the food was GOOD and hot.. That's the ONLY reason they even got two stars. Our waiter apologized for the wait once it hit 45 minutes of wait time. No Mgr to apologize .. Even if I lived next door, I wouldn't be coming back.. Sorry Guys.. read more

Went to Sonny's for their great pork special dinner. Waitress really good. Strange happening when I ordered a glass of Merlot. She came back to the table to let me know they had no red wine. Not just no Merlot but NO RED WINE. Guess the person responsible for keeping the restaurant stocked miscounted and no one thought to get an extra delivery or drive down to a store and buy a few bottles. Lots of diners drinking white wine while we were there. read more

Paid for the brisket meal just wow. Compared to my girlfriends ribs it was an onslaught. She had an amazing half rack of BBQ ribs and I got....literally 3 slices of brisket(plus my meal was more expensive) read more

I always like to go to Sonny's to have my comfort food ! Pulled pork and corn muffins. Yum. And Alive coming around to make sure everyone is enjoying. Our young man server ( wish I could remember his name) was very nice and attentive. Go you won't be sorry. PS get the ribs! Bowls are get to! read more

The food was delicious as always. I had the turkey and my husband had the pulled pork. They accommodated my 8 month old with both a car seat sling while asleep and a highchair when awake. read more

The waitress was so nice!! It was our grandsons first birthday and she brought him ice cream and brownie. She was so kind in bringing us what we needed. It was pouring rain from the hurricane and we were soaked. She saw we could use more room at the table and moved us to a table instead of the booth. Again she was very nice. read more

This location does not have all you can eat anymore, I was kind of bummed out but it is okay. The food is good here and no line at 3 in the afternoon. read more

Food was good but only 4 thin sliced pieces of brisket for 20$!Sorry can't afford you anymore!If you were closer I would have taken it back! Too bad as I really enjoyed getting takeout every week! read more

Best BBQ place anywhere, smoky bones isn't even in the same class as Sonny's. In fact, I am a great BBQ rib guy (smoke, low cook, pressure cook, grill, etc) and people love my ribs but overall they are much better and I do not have to cook for two days. In addition, have eaten BBQ ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken in Memphis, Texas, N & S Carolina, Illinois, Georgia, Mississippi, Alaska, and many other places, but I have never had such quality meet and sides that were so perfectly flavored and cooked any better than Sonny's in Largo. We ordered take out for 10 people on Labor Day 2020 and it was perfection, they did not miss a single step and our entire group was very impressed...this is my new BBQ place, and I think I am going to sell my smoker. read more

First the good. Curbside pick up was on time and easy. Pulled pork and the baked beans were good. Chicken was just ok. The ribs were dry. The brisket was tender but lacked any taste and was extremely dry. The garlic bread was tough. The biggest disappointment was when I opened the baked sweet potato and it was a regular baked potato. The sad part is I'm only 4 minutes from this restaurant and now it's off the list. read more

0 stars tremendously slow service 50 minute drive thru wait .................................. Rumor has it I'm still waiting to get my food

My husband and I went to Sonny's yesterday for dinner! We ordered the sampler platter. I can only say that the food was cold/reheated. Our bartender Megan was amazing so kudos to her! It's not her fault that the food gave us food poisoning! Super unfortunate, the only reason we'd go back is the 2 for one drinks read more

Great spot for a quick bbq lunch! Had brisket, very yummy, with many bbq sauce choices. We will be back again!

I had to remember to give my review before I forgot. I threw a big afternoon family party at my house yesterday and was very frazzled that morning driving in crazy traffic trying to get the food/desserts together for the 2pm event. Let me first state that I had called a few places for pricing two days earlier and SONNY'S bbq WAS THE ONLY PLACE THAT CALLED ME BACK. Right away, in fact. The manager Michelle took my order, the prices were reasonable. When I got there day of, there was a slight wait as they had to find my order which was under my first name, not my last. No problem, they found it and the male manager on that day was super efficient, made sure I was completely happy and basically calmed me down :D. He and the staff did a tremendous job being consistent with the product, (yummy!) and completely professional. This biz is being run well and I thank you all so much! read more

Sonny's BBQ - 90th cowboy party for my DAD!! Thanks Sonnys! - Barbeque Near Me - Largo, Florida

I thought this would be good since I was in a southern state and they are somewhat known for decent bbq but I was wrong. My friends and I got takeout here Sunday evening . I ordered the chicken meal, which comes with two sides, and a cornbread. I chose baked beans and mac n cheese for my sides. The chicken did not have any flavor, it was undercooked (still pink on the inside) and dry. The beans and the cornbread were good, and the mac n cheese was ok. On a positive note the staff is very friendly. I guess I had high expectations since the bbq place I frequent in CT never disappoints. I don't plan on returning to this establishment if I'm in the area. read more

Ordered pulled pork on garlic got this. Just kinda gross grisly. Like the the short order cook grabbed a hunk of meat slapped it on bread and flung it in the box...done read more

Sonny's BBQ - Chunk of Gristle pork - Barbeque Near Me - Largo, Florida

This was my first and quite possibly my last experience with Sonny's BBQ My daughter and I ordered curbside because we are still unsure about eating in during Covid and we were in a hurry. I arrived 2 minutes early pulled into One of the designated spots for curbside and waited. Five minutes goes by and someone comes to the car to ask my name-- they go inside to check and while they are inside 2 more cars pull up. Another few minutes goes by and the server comes back addresses the new cars and then tells me my order was next in line (I mentioned again that I was in a hurry and asked for a time estimate-- I have been a server/bartender my entire life I understand that most of the time it has nothing to do with that employee and everything to do with the kitchen so I wasn't upset yet) Several more cars pull up and get their food the server never comes back. Next thing you know i've been sitting there for 18 minutes past the time quoted for my curbside pick up another person comes out, I'm assuming the manager and says there was a mixup with your order in a really rude tone and offers me a coupon. Honestly the food was really good and even though I was in a hurry I probably wouldn't have even written this review if someone would have communicated with me that there was an issue instead of ignoring me. This location gets 1 star for Failure to provide a reasonable or enjoyable guest experience read more

Omg the pulled chicken salad was the bomb!!! Appetizer pulled pork egg rolls Great service by Meagan. Addicted to the sweet tea. Sure wish we had one of these up in New England. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Pulled chicken salad - Barbeque Near Me - Largo, Florida

Meghan was the best server we had down here. She was constantly checking on us and offering refills. The food was amazing and the sweet tea is amazing! We just had a really great experiences thank you for everything! read more

Loved the bbq here, you cannot go wrong with the brisket, will definitely be back for more from this fine place

Ive been driving by this place for awhile, so me and my GF finally tried it out. No regrets whatsoever. She ordered the pulled pork sandwich, and I got The Bomb (beef brisket with Mac n cheese patty), and the meat was cooked to perfection. Not dripping in grease like some other BBQ joints. The price is fair, $20-30 between two people, and the ambience is family friendly. Our server was very polite and made sure we had everything we needed. They even have a drive thru!!! We will be coming back. read more

Sonny's BBQ - The Bomb sandwich was so good I couldn't even wait to take a picture. One of the best sandwiches I have had period. - Barbeque Near Me - Largo, Florida

Wonderful barbecue! Good portions. Sauce great! Beans delicious! Cornbread moist ! Ribs and pulled pork..wonderful moist and tender! Donut holes yummy! I give this restaurant a 10+ rating!! read more

We almost skipped out on coming here since it was only given 3 1/2 stars, but are glad we didn't. It was really good and hit the spot. The portions were big, the service was great, and the prices were very reasonable. We are glad we went and will definitely be back again!! read more

They were busy, but I got my food very fast. Didn't get the young waiters name, but he was great. Food was really good, big portions, and reasonable price. Just good BBQ at a good price. read more

Amazingly poor service and substandard food. Sonny's sent me a message (noted below) at 6:48 PM on Saturday (3/10/2018) night in response to our online order, indicating that our order was ready. My wife waited in the car with our two dogs while I went inside to "pick up" our order. I received our food order at 7:57 PM, more than an hour after having been told that it was ready. There was no apology, no offers of compensation, no excuses - you ruined our Saturday evening without even acknowledging that you were more than an hour late. To add insult to injury, the brisket was cold and flavorless, the beans were underdone and the ribs were substandard. Worse yet, there was a manager on duty but she didn't do a damned thing to rectify the situation for the large group of patrons waiting to pick up their orders. Dine-in customers arrived, ordered, ate and left while six or eight carry-out customers waited on their orders. My wife and I were planning a quiet evening at home - carry out, a bottle of wine and Netflix. Sonny's made sure that wasn't gonna happen. You blew it, badly. I would like a refund of the $40.00 that I wasted at your establishment. My wife, who is a professional chef by the way, would prefer not to return to Sonny's this millennium. My dogs don't even like you anymore. Enough is enough. read more

This review is not intended for the staff at the Seminole location, it appears they too had to suffer through this horrible carryout experience. I placed an order online, and received a confirmation and 'order ready' email. my order pickup time was 6:45pm. By 7:25pm I was a little perturbed. Wouldn't it be nice to get a call or email saying, "we're sorry, we are running behind"? or a call? And i was not alone, some people had left and come back. The staff surely has nothing to do with this, just another example of a corporation instituting a new service that they are not ready use. read more

Had a great meal bbq there... Great service... Great salad bar.... Would recommend highly.... Can't go wrong..!!! read more
