Family feast
Barbara J.

**Great BBQ Feast & Fantastic Value!** If you're looking for a family-friendly BBQ spot with **big portions** and **great deals**, Sonny's BBQ in Largo is the place to be! We ordered the **Family Feast**, and wow--what a spread! For just **$49.99**, we got **2 lbs of delicious barbecue meat**, **three hearty side dishes**, and **cornbread**. It was meant for three of us, but honestly, this could have easily fed six! Talk about **bang for your buck** The staff was **friendly and helpful**, though a bit **disorganized**--hence the **four-star rating** . They were working hard, but service could have been smoother. One bummer? They **got rid of Sonny's brand Amber Ale** , which my husband used to love--bring it back, Sonny's! Overall, Sonny's BBQ is a **solid choice** for an **affordable, family-friendly meal** with **big portions and lots of specials**. Perfect for BBQ lovers who want **great food without breaking the bank!**

Pulled chicken, garlic bread, fried okra, & green beans

The food was very good and fresh. We got it to go in the drive thru, and the service was very quick and good. I can't speak on ambiance, since I did not go inside, but the drive thru is very helpful!

Would you willingly pay $10.49 for that small container that Sonny's sold me as a QUART of baked beans?
John N.

I try to avoid giving 1-star ratings. Out of my 274 reviews, only 12 so far have 1-star, but wow.....my Sonny's visit really deserves the unlucky #13. I called to place a take-out order. I was told to go inside and pick it up at the bar. For convenience, I asked if I could use the drive-up window. I was told "no." However, when I arrived, there were 3 cars at the drive-up window. Strange... My order was just a pound of pulled pork and a quart of baked beans. The pork was fine and tasty as usual. I did not discover it until I got home, but the container of baked beans was very small and not a quart. I phoned the store and they said they do not sell beans by the quart, only small, medium, and large. This was also strange, as when I originally asked the lady taking my order if I could get a "family-sized" beans, it was HER suggestion that I order a quart. In my photo is the container of beans they gave me, next to an empty quart container. They charged me a whopping $10.49 for that container of beans, then argued with me about it instead of correcting their mistake. I bet Floyd "Sonny" Tillman would be very disappointed if he ever read this.

Living in this town for 4 years we have been everywhere. We ate at this location when it was the…read morecoastal cantina. The location is a block back from Main Street and it's a cool little spot. We have had the same waiter as we did when this was coastal cantina and when we ate at southern fresh. Same owner I believe. He is the only waiter I remember having more than twice on Main Street which is really cool. I give props to the owners for this. The food is really good. The location is great. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because they really need to add a few items. Like pulled chicken, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. Also 4 potato wedges as a side is kinda ridiculous. Aside from that, all good. It's nice to have smoked meat back in the harbor.

A real gem in Safety Harbor because indoor /outdoor seating that is also ADA accessible. Ramp to inside tables, restrooms and adult beverage bar (indoor and outdoor bars) and ramp to outdoor seating!! Three large TV screens. All the traditional BBQ items complemented by perfectly spiced collard greens, pinto beans or potatoe wedges. Taste bud happy, hot peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Prices very reasonable. Cooked Brisket by the Pound available for purchase. Service excellent, with immense pride for their establishment. Aaron, Jamie and their handsome apprentice Logan are ready to give you history and recommendations. Taurus so helpful and great conversationalist.

It IS goooooood!!…read more This is what these ladies tell you and they're not lyin'. In fact, just eat what they tell you. "Everything's gooooood"... Juicy, smoky, and reaaaalllll goooooood. Came to visit our folks all the way from North Carolina and you know our BBQ is lit in North Carolina. Well... this was on time and reaaaaallll gooooood. We gonna be big girls if we keep it up. Maybe y'all should rename to Big Girl's BBQ. It's THAT gooooood...

Over the winter break, my family and I drove past here multiple times, always to find it closed…read more Yes, during posted hours...but worth noting the posted hours are Fri Sat Sun from 12pm. Today, I was driving past, starving but with a full schedule of errands to run. If it had been any other place, I would have ignored it and just gotten coffee somewhere to keep me moving. Brakes, u-turn, park. I waited a couple minutes while some people gathered their order. I was too hungry to choose and asked the kind lady in the window to help me. She was patient and helped me by simply being patient. A few more people came up and I got nervous I was taking too long. But people just smiled. I decided to try a lot of stuff, but not so much I'd waste anything...including money if it wasn't as good as I hoped. Brisket wasn't ready yet so I went with Pulled Pork sandwich... Tender tasty meat nicely sauced on a white bread hamburger bun, with extra sauce on the side. I added sauce, but not so much as I wanted to taste the meat more. The sauce was good enough to eat like you would Chocolate sauce with ice cream. You're not going to leave any behind. Perfect sandwich saved me. Collard greens...perfectly cooked and seasoned, not too salty, pieces of bbq meat flavoring it nicely. Perfect side. Mac N Cheese...correctly cooked noodles, perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper, and cheese throughout, though not the gooey cheesy saucy kind of cheese...not velveeta "cheese". Really nice side. Banana Pudding...this is homemade with chunks of banana and chunks of (shortbread?) cookies. This is one of my favorites. Can of soda. She apologized it wasn't that cold. Her caring made it taste better. As you can see by the stars, I really liked this place. I'll be getting back to my errands now, an hour later after eating in my car and pondering a nap. I have a couple more bites of the pudding, which I will not be saving for later. Highly recommended for anyone who likes barbecue. And actually for anyone who thinks they don't like bbq. They will soon.
