Sonny's BBQ is a big restaurant decorated in simple decor. It has a comfortable vibe. Our server Emily was very friendly and helped with recommendations. The salad is huge! Tons of fresh veggies and I got mine with chicken. The salad had a lot of chicken and crispy onion straws! Almost too much. No way I could eat the whole salad. The chicken was smoked just right and tender. The ranch dressing is light but so good. The ribs, brisket, BBQ beans, garlic bread, and fries were all delicious! I like all four BBQ sauces too! When I am in the area again I'll be back. Yum! read more

We arrived on Saturday around 3 for a late lunch. They were still pretty busy with most tables full. They did seem a bit short staffed today but the service was still pretty good. We ordered the pork eggrolls and a sonnys cuban sandwich. Both were pretty tasty. We will return. read more

A tough chewy brisket sandwich ruined my lunch. Sent a blurb to help them and got a canned message saying they would contact me. I figured maybe a coupon or something. Never heard back. So I never went back. Lousy BBQ. Nice servers though. read more

I'm just going to say, the baby back ribs are AMAZING! My servers name is Nina and she definitely went above and beyond for lunch today! Not only did she have to deal with my dad jokes, she had to also deal with my clumsy self who dropped her fork not once BUT TWICE! My husband was embarrassed, but you made it worth while. read more

I had lunch with my family and another family on Saturday 8/19/23 at the Sonny's BBQ at the 770 Schlillinger Road South location in Mobile, AL and had a bad experience with our waitress Madison. We ordered the following items: 1. Reg Pork Sandwich & Fries $7.49 + 2.99 = 10.48 Was charged $13.99 =+3.51 overcharge 2. Reg Pork Sandwich meat only $7.49 = was charged $ 9.99 = + $2.50 overcharge 3. Grilled cheese fries drink = $8.99+4.00=$12.99 Correct 4. Large Pork Sandwich & Fries $9.99+ 4.00 = $13.99 Correct Original Charge 50.96+ 5.09==$56.05 I Informed our waitress that our prices seemed incorrect so I asked for a menu which she brought back to my table. I Asked our waitress Madison to adjust price to reflect right prices. She left then came back and said "My manager is too busy to come over and I am not even supposed to be here, I should have been gone two hrs ago." I asked her to check with her manager again and her response was they are too busy to be bothered with and she left and changed our ticket to a lower amount but it was still incorrect. She then said that we could pay that amount and she would pay the difference out of her own pocket. I said I don't want it to come out of your pocket I just want it to be correct and she said that is all she could do now. She refused to get with her manager and just took my wife's over priced Reg Sandwich which she priced at $9.99 which should of been $7.49 off the bill. So she charged $13.99, $13.99 & $12.99 which should have been $13.99, $12.99, $10.48 . I have no problem paying for all items at their correct price but I feel the waitress was either padding the bill for a higher tip and refused to go to manager for fear of being found out for either trying to cheat her customer or just being incompetent. If she did that with us it makes me wonder if she does that with other customers. I reluctantly even tipped her $5.00 which I shouldn't have due to her refusing to correct the bill and for her refusal to involve the manager. This is extremely poor customer service by this server which I hope is addressed by her manager and or owner of the restaurant. read more

Sonny's BBQ never disappoints and this location is no exception. Great food with outstanding service. I was meeting someone and we asked to sit in the back, away from everyone else as not to bother anyone. Our food came out fresh and hot. The beans were great as always. The fries were hot and crispy. The Texas toast was great as was the sliced pork. I would return. read more

Ordered the Smoked chicken with baked beans and coleslaw. Chicken was good, had a nice smoky taste to it. The BBQ sauce comes in plastic packets, was not a big fan of the smoky or original sauces. The sides were gross. The baked beans tasted like they were straight out of a can and the cole slaw had no taste at all. The saving grace was the banana pudding. It was great but the portion that I got was 50% whipped cream so I didn't get enough of what i paid for. I feel 3 stars is generous because of the chicken and banana pudding, but would actually give closer to 2.5. read more

Stopped in for dinner and decided to eat a little healthier. Ordered the Caesar Salad with chicken. Was told it comes with a drizzle of the spicy bbq sauce. Was asked if I wanted it to be left off. Decided to leave it off as a bottle of it was on the table and decided I could add it myself to try. The salad came out and it was a decent size. I added the bbq sauce and it definitely elevated the salad to a new level. Was one of the best Caesar's I've had. read more

Saturday 3-22-25 I ordered the st.Louis style ribs-potato salad and slaw.Take out.When I got home {about 10 mins.]I checked out the ribs,What wasn't burnt to a crisp was just bones ,no meat.Potato salad and slaw was ok.It's pitiful a so-called bbq place serves this crap.Whoever put the burnt ribs in my take out box should be fired. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Some of the food that we had - Barbeque Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Oh my Goodness, gosh... I will begin with ambience. When walking indoors, you get a gargantuan sniff of burning wood and BBQ. Ok, so now you're really hungry, but what to order? Everything looks great. I had the pulled pork and their sides are so yummy lots of choices! I used their own bbq sauce "smokin" and it's tasty but not hot. Our server Sherron was absolutely a charming soul. She was super friendly, came to us enough but not enough to 'pester" us, very accommodating. The restaurant was very clean and had a nice vibe. We will definitely return!! read more

I generally order through the drive thru and the staff is always super nice and patient. I have had a couple issues with food quality over the years but only a couple and when I called them they made good on it. If you haven't had the redneck egg rolls you gotta try them! read more

Absolutely love this place. The food was great, and the staff was friendly. Will definitely come back if I get the chance. read more

I want to start by saying that our waitress was amazing. The loaded tater tots were flash fried and were cold and our meal took 45 minutes to come out. The brisket was very good and everyone else seemed happy with their food. We were all very hungry at that point. read more

I haven't had barbecue for decades - literally. So we decided to give it a shot tonight and I am so delighted I did. We were BLESSED and LUCKY to have Andy as our server. He was so gentle and kind and gracious. He made us feel appreciated and valued as customers - which I find uncommon these days.. so when the red carpet gets rolled out, I notice. Thank you Andy! We enjoyed the crunchy tater tots, hot crisp okra.. and all the four sauces at the table. The coleslaw was a tad too sweet for me - but I'll be sure to switch it out for a different side next time. My dining companion enjoyed his slaw - he likes a touch of sugar in his cornbread and slaw, so he was very content. And the dessert was nice and cold and creamy - banana pudding. Thank you Sonny's for a warm southern supper on a chilly evening. We will be back! read more

My son got us dinner and he went through the drive-thru and the attendant was very rude. He asked for sour cream for the baked potatoes and she told him they don't give sour cream and it was $1.75 per pack. He said Hell no to that. He got home and my order was wrong. I got a damn sweet potato instead of a baked potato and zero BBQ sauce for the cold pulled pork sandwiches. My family doesn't eat sweet potatoes and won't have even thought to order it. The potato went in the garbage so waste of money. I tried to call Sonny's restaurant but the call was rejected every time. I am very disappointed with Sonny's. Need a different drive-thru attendant who can take your order correctly and isn't so rude. read more

We were there around 7:30 on a Wednesday night. The food was really good, but it took a very long time to get our food. We waited for quite some time before we saw a server at all. The smoked turkey sandwich, chicken and sides of green beans, tots and baked beans were all good. read more

The food was great and service was the best and the manager Kristy-hopefully right spelling she was great..Shelly our waitress was great both her and the manager went above and beyond for our Great Dane... read more

So so very awful. Sonny's use to be my favorite bbq place ever but they have just gone. Completely down hill. Drove thru lady on may 5th 12:35 pm you have such a poor attitude. If you wasn't rushing me maybe my order would have been correct. NO bbq sauce in the bag, sandwich was so sloppy the meat was falling out of the tin foil it was wrapped in. I ordered pulled pork. I'm assuming I got whole pork instead of it being shredding cause This was just one massive lump of pork under 2 buns. And 98% of it was fat. Fries soggy and no salt. Sweet tea I had actual sugar grains in my mouth after I took the sip. So so disappointed in this visit. Hopefully they can get better cause I would hate to loose my fav spot. read more

My son and I had the pleasure to go back to Sonny's on Schillingers rd. Thank you Mr. Mike for your generosity. We had a very sweet waitress Ms. Sharon and the Manager was very professional. The food was excellent. My family and I will be back. I do give 5 stars. read more

Awesome great salad and ribs the service was awesome as always .kind and courteous as always read more

Bbq sauce belong on the meat, cooked in the meat. I prefer a sweet sauce and this was more tangy. Sides were ok

Love this place. Sliced brisket is so tender. Ribs are good. Smoked wings are smokey. Sauces are good, original and sweet & spicy are my favorites. Definitely try their fried okra and baked beans read more

About half the time the ribs are good. You smaller amounts of the side items. Service is usually good. But Sonny's simply isn't the bbq restaurant it was even one year ago. That's sad to me. I've always liked this place. read more

We were heading to the airport and looking for a place to go for lunch. Happened to pass by this place and thought we'd try some Alabama BBQ before we returned to California. We're glad we did. The interior is a bit older and we were a little hesitant when we walked in, because there was no one at the hostess stand to seat us, so we stood around awkwardly for a little while before someone who came out of the kitchen seated us. We noticed about 10 booths that were occupied, all by gray-haired seniors. Must be a popular place to hang out for retired locals. Seating was spacious, the booths were very comfy. The water cups are HUGE! The prices were fabulous. Maybe we're just used to the pricey BBQ places in California but we couldn't believe how much food we got for $14.99. And so delicious too! We were first served a huge portion of coleslaw, which was pretty good. Before we even finished that, we were presented with our entrees. I ordered a sampler plate that consisted of pulled pork (or sliced pork is an option), chicken on the bone, brisket, and ribs. AND two more --steamed broccoli and garlic bread. My husband ordered a rib plate that consisted of baby back ribs and dry rub ribs (they accidentally gave him sweet and savory ribs). Everything was absolutely fantastic. Huge portion sizes for a great price, and so delicious. Wish we had a place like this (for that price) near where we lived. read more

I ordered online for pickup and put a specific time to pick up my order for Father's Day. I went at the time the web site advised my food would be ready. I went to drive up window. She advised me to pull into the curbside parking area. I wanted in the hot sun in my car for 30 minutes for food. No one came out with my order. I went inside to inquire on my order and watched the server star grabbing items and threw them in a bag and handed to me. Once I got home the order was wrong. The worst was green beans mixed with mac and cheese-new dish. Thumbs down for this pick up order. read more

Sonny's really pissed me off. After waiting on hold over 10 minutes they said they'd send me to a manager since I wanted to order catering. Only to tell me sorry kidding, we want you to just order a family meal online, which was not only not what I wanted, but it was far cheaper than what I was going to place. I tried ordering their "family meal" and where you try to pla ahead is broken. so unprofessional. So I ordered from a competing BBQ chain that was glad to take my money. read more

Sonny's is a fun place for barbeque on Schillinger Road. I love their smoked chicken, chicken salad, pulled pork and ribs. I also enjoy the salad bar and their sweet potatoes and baked beans. The redneck eggrolls are great if you are in the mood for an appetizer. I also love their fresh brewed iced tea. read more

Good service ... awful food ! Heard good things about this place but sooooo not. Driest brisket I've ever had

I love Sonny's, good service great food and pricing is comparable to other BBQ restaurants. I love the redneck egg rolls they are listed as an appetizer but I order them as my meal. read more

We order the ribs and wings plate and the kids pulled pork and baked potato. My son is in the bathroom right now vomiting and I'm nauseated. I do believe this was the worse we've gotten from Sonny's BBQ. We were very disappointed in our meals tonight. It will be a long while before we go back. Hopefully it will be better the next time. We have been several times before and most of the time the food was alright, I wouldn't say it was delicious but it was alright compared to some other BBQ restaurants. Tonight was the first time we used Sonny's drive thru but that shouldn't matter but the food was barely warm so next time we'll stick to going inside. read more

If you are a Dasher DO NOT accept orders to Sonny's. I've made that mistake twice and waited over 45 each time for a doordash order. Food prep and plating is so unorganized. read more

Love me some Sonny's on a Saturday when kids eat free. I always get the wings and ribs for 11.99 with 2 sides and garlic bread. You get about 7-8 wings and about 3/4 ribs. Totally a great deal and the wings are smoky and fire grilled. The wife loves the turkey breast sandwhich. She always asks for the lunch portion and it comes with 2 sides for 7.50.. She gets it every time. We love Sat when the kids get full meals as big as the adults with a drink included for free! I also like the fact that they have 4 diff sauces to fit your style. Also this location has been totally remodeled. It's very neat and clean. We love it! read more

Came by at 6:30 pm. Poor waitress apologized for being out of PORK, Potatoes, & most of daily sides. She said it's always this way at this location but was very nice Received food from cook or manager who was less than pleasant. Cole slaw was non edible & I usually love it. It had soured Mac & cheese was dried out Brisket was served cold Will not b back read more

This place used to be a favorite. But the service has actually gotten worse than the food. A smile doesn't replace missing items after asking for them multiple times, and the meat is more fat than meat. The flavor reminds me of something my 10 year old would experiment with. Yet another sad example of why it's not worth eating out anymore. I'm sad to say I'll never be back. Another favorite retired read more

Went for a "Q" Crewe special. Stop by and eat on 1/1 get that meal later on in January free. If not a member of Sonny's "Q" Crewe you need to become one. The remodel is breathtaking, it really opened up the dining area and made more wheelchair friendly. We got the family feast for 4 and it did not disappoint. You are able to pick your sides and different versions of the meat offered. It was more than enough for all of us with plenty leftover. Will return time and again it is the best BBQ in Alabama. read more
