I've been here three times. I ordered the family for 4 style meal. The first time everything was great. Service and food were amazing. The second time was horrible. The waitress was bizarre. The food so-so. The management on at the time was clueless and not management material. A waitress fixed our billing problem-- not OUR waitress, and the acting "manager " was lost, so she intervened. This last time, super waitress! Top notch management by manager that was called via telephone by waitress last time. Well, she was there, taking care of business like a pro. But the meal... the meal was past fabulous! All the textures and flavors were on point! The portion size was, even for hungry folks, almost overwhelming! Restaurant was average to above in cleanliness. It is still somewhat eerie to me how good the dinner was. I am afraid to go again in fear that the bar and expectation is now so high, is it actually possible to hit again!? What's the chances? Could the experience actually be that great again? We shall see. This next review will be comprehensive, a final decision made, and I will include all names of the staff past and present involved. Stay tuned! read more

there was a fly in my lemonade. the waitress didn't care when we brought it to her attention.

Second visit in less than 30 days, feeling a little guilty I only gave it 3 stars last time. Disregard the stars, everyone has their own opinion on what is 1,2,3,4 and 5 stars. Focus on the content. Had my usual 1/2 chicken, it was literally fall off the bone tender, moist, juicy and smoked perfectly in my opinion. The fries were hot and plentiful while the slaw was fresh and delicious. I also tried some of the fried cheese curds, they were tasty as well, but a little heavy on the breading for my taste. Service once again was very good, friendly, efficient and I was well taken care of. read more

Best service and great food! I need to compliment an amazing employee Angelina for her excellent customer service and attention to detail! Her company and manager should definitely promote her or give her a raise for how great she is!! read more

Great food. Fast service you can smell the smoke of the fire pit. Had to take food home

The garlic toast is soggy yet burnt, the brisket was okay but the sauce has changed...though I didn't get what I asked for. This is the third location within 350 miles I have been to in 3 months and none were good, except the baby back ribs were good in Port Orange. read more

Where it's smoking, you will find a Sonny's. Sonny's is a BBQ chian that originated out of Gainesville, Florida and was established in 1968. There locations everywhere in Florida and other key places. It may be a chain but it serves up serious BBQ. One time I asked a waitress at Sonny's when they start smoking their meat. Her response was there was a pitmaster always at Sonny's even during the middle of the night. Sonny's is serious about BBQ. if you want a taste of all Sonny's provides, go for the Sonny's Sampler that comes with 4 meats and 2 sides with cornbread or garlic bread. I go with the cornbread which is very sweet and my favorite sides are beans and slaw. Sonny's beans are my favorite beans from about anywhere and the slaw is homemade in house. I wish I could rank Sonny's meats in order but I have eaten there enough that they are all consistently good. Sonny's has 5 sauces: original (mild tomato base), sweet (the most versatile sauce I've ever had), sizzlin which is the sweet and spicy, smokin which is the hot variety of the original, and a mustard sauce that you have to ask for. Mustard sauce goes extremely well with the pulled pork. Sonny's does have a variety of sandwiches and if you sign up for the emails, they send you a free sandwich meal for your birthday. Sweet tea is always amazingly sweet and refreshing. A few years ago, Sonny's updated and remodeled several of their locations. The Lynn Haven one is one with a pretty new building but the same BBQ goodness that Sonny's offers. read more

The food is amazing and the service is outstanding. Every time I visit my family this is one of two stops I must make.

Service is awesome, our server Savannah has been awesome its the 4th of July busy as you would expect. Tea stayed full, order taken quickly, food delivered hot (well fries were warm), bones twisted right out, good bark and ring, taste was very good on everything. Sucks Bay county only has 1. Enjoyed the atmosphere TVs could have been on a decent channel. Very clean and staff well oiled work great together. We enjoyed our meal and will be back. We enjoyed Savanahs friendly helpful service, she was awesome. read more

Ordered a hundred dollars worth of takeout and when I brought it home, they forgot to add any BBQ sauce. Extremely frustrated as the place was pretty dead and would have taken zero effort to double check my bags. I got a call from a manager a couple of days later apologizing. They didn't have to do that, so I appreciated the gesture. Check your bags before you leave, no matter how many bags of stuff you bought. read more

The odor from whatever y'all use as a cleaner is so off-putting that my wife and I cannot eat in this restaurant.

BBQ, fries, and sweet tea was delicious as always! Wait staff was cordial and prompt. Not sure why they haven't brought back the salad bar, which is a favorite of a lot of people. If Covid is still the reason then that's just plain dumb! There are plenty of other restaurants that have food/salad bars. You can rotate out utensils, and put up hand sanitizer station before you grab your plate. Get that salad bar back! read more

Sonny's BBQ is good for what it is. This isn't your local corner BBQ joint. This is fast, consistent, and good BBQ. You been in one, you have been in them all. I order the dieters plate. Salad bar, protein, and bread. The salad bar is one of the best in town. I prefer their sliced pork and a piece of garlic bread. We've said this before with chain restaurants. Your staff is what makes you come back. This Sonny's on 77 has a great staff. So if you need to get in and out for a lunch break or just not wanting to wait and hang out, stop in and grab a bite. The food is good and the staff is great. read more

We were happy to see a Sonny's BBQ - many of them have closed. The food was great. My husband had the Sampler platter (of course he did, lol). Ribs, chicken, brisket, and pulled pork - everything was tender, nice smoky flavor, not overcooked. Good selection of sauces. I had the BBQ Cobb salad with pulled chicken. It was huge! Will have the rest for lunch tomorrow! You have to try the BBQ egg rolls - excellent! Great service as well - fast and friendly. read more

This place Pork 3 Ways is awesome! Brisket is out of this world. Service was great. Didn't wait long read more

Wants some ribs? This is the place! I ordered the dry rub ribs and chicken wings with 2 sides. Delicious! The corn bread has real corn in it too. Ted had a sausage and brisket sandwich. He said the brisket was a bit fatty but the sausage was really good. We ordered takeout. Just walk in and pick up your meal at the time they give you. read more

Had the 1/2 chicken with brisket and 2 sides. Brisket and chicken was cooked perfectly, the sweet potato was huge and delicious, baked beans were good, with a large portions. The ice tea was huge and filling. My husband said he already wants to go back. Our waitress was very nice, friendly, and accommodating. Very fast service also. The place is nice, clean, and spacious. A true bbq establishment. Lots of TVs to watch football too. read more

The BBQ is still good...But no more salad bar!!! I specifically went there for the salad bar but it's not there anymore.

Excellent service and excellent food. If you like Sonny's bbq and I do this store does it right. That includes the the styrofoam cup that I love. They have a great bbq sweet sauce and the butter bread is awesome. read more

They were closing when we arrived for takeout. I ordered the catfish sandwich. It was dry. No tartar sauce on the sandwich or in the bag. I was unimpressed. Fries unremarkable. I won't return. read more

Food quality has been going downhill at this location and today was the final straw. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwhich on garlic bread. What I received looked to be pot roast with no flavor and white Texas toast.....if I wanted pot roast on white bread I could have stayed home. read more

Really dry meat, I got the shredded pork and the husband got sliced pork, he had a hard time cutting through the meat. Frys were small and cold, like we got the leftover pieces. Just overall not a good experience, we won't be back. Save your money for another BBQ place. read more

Went here with hubby for dinner tonight. Once we sat down the AC kicked on high gear. We were freezing. Our food arrived and the cold air blasting caused our food to quickly get cold. The butter on our sweet potatoes wouldnt even melt. We asked our server to see if they could adjust the AC but it just kept blasting. No one there gives a crap. We asked for to go boxes, packed up our meal and left. I would not recommend this place to anyone cause it's a COLD DAY IN HELL THERE. read more

The service was very slow unfortunately and the restaurant was not busy. I ordered the customize your own bowl, which was pulled pork and Mac and cheese and my food was not hot when it arrived. The ambiance was neutral. However, it was pretty quiet and disappointing. read more

Just wanted to say that I had a great waitress Savanna, she was so kind, courteous, polite, and checked on us to make sure everything was ok. I met assistant manager Kara, she was so kind, courteous very polite and she made sure that everything was ok. Both were so professional at their job. Thanks for a wonderful dinner.

My all-time favorite restaurant.. ever! The corn nuggets can lift your spirits on the worst of days. The pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on top makes the world go 'round. The ribs are a gift from above. Everything about Sonny's is perfect. The waiters and waitresses are always friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food is phenomenal. read more

the pulled pork sandwich is pretty good but there is a lot of fat which i'm not a fan of personally

The BBQ here is not good. I had the ribs they where just awful. Sides are just plain sides nothing great. Go to Mission BBQ get out of the city go to local BBQ places then right the truth your better off getting a McRib that is microwaved and dipped in a sauce....sad read more

I LOVE SONNY'S BBQ! It's my go to for comfort bbq. I always end up getting the Turkey on garlic bread, and the bbq beans are always a great side choice! They have famous southern sweet tea just like your granny's! I've also had the lean brisket, ribs, pulled pork mmmm good! Always great service! Food always comes fast! I recommend a Saturday evening date night or Sunday dinner for ultimate service and wait time! If you're in a hurry they have awesome take out and curbside service! Don't forget to ask for sweet bbq sauce to go! Yum! Sonnys is definitely on my rotation for date night! Try it you won't regret it! read more

Tried and true. Sonny's is a staple bc they are solid on service, quality and consistency. These folks have also reinstated their covid precautions and are wearing as well as requiring masks. Yes! Fries were underdone even when requested to be extra crispy. Yeah, that happens a lot. The new big deal rib sandwich was quite the treat. No shirt, no shoes, no mask equals no service. So, all in all, a very pleasant meal tonight. read more

Some of the worst BBQ I have ever had! Service was extremely slow and it took forever to get our food. The meat was very dry and had no flavor. The sides were okay. I could never get a refill on my drink! The meal was way overpriced for the quality. I would personally call it Sonny's Real $@!? BBQ read more

Today was their first day reopening dine-in since the COVID-19 outbreak. They handled it very well! Food was hot and came out fast. I felt sorry for our server for having to wear a mask and gloves the whole time! The mask I definitely understand and appreciate, but the gloves grossed me out a bit as I doubt they change them as often as they'd typically wash their hands (@management, please look into this! It may be more sanitary to nix the gloves). I had the redneck egg rolls for an appetizer, but they filled me up since I was the only one eating them, and I probably should have had it for the meal instead! I loved the sauce they gave for dipping...some kind of BBQ ranch I think? The smokin' gun sandwich was so good that I had to eat it all too! The brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage combo was genius. The baked sweet potato was cooked perfectly and was delicious as well. We'll definitely be back! read more
