Sonnys was close to the dispensary. I was hungry and needed food, so I stopped in. I love their sweet tea. So i got that, and my usual, pulled pork and brisket.

Slider Trio (Brisket, Smoked Chicken, Pulled Pork) with side of Mac & Cheese

Early dinner on the Fourth of July, seated without a wait. Staff friendly, quick and professional. Menu changed but favorites still available. We opted for appetizer of Corn Nuggets, entrees of Loaded Baked Potato and Slider Trio. Portion size amazing, served hot with no wait. Always nice when the owner/manager checks in. We were pleased all around and this location will be our Sonny's choice in the future for pick up or dine in.

Had a good meal here. Service was fast and the bbq sandwich I ordered had a good smoke and tasted fresh. Not overly salty whatsoever. Servers were friendly and attentive and only two people at the bar on a Tuesday night. Prices and portions were both good, and they had a fun menu with a bunch of options. Loved that they had 4 in house bbq sauces available - all of which were awesome. If I was in the area I'd definitely go back. Clean space, plenty of parking.

Looking for Lunch along a busy street that has almost any kind of food you want we stopped for some BBQ. Plenty of parking available and as soon as you enter there is the bar & hostess stand. Booth & table seating present. Per usual BBQ restaurants - roll of paper towels & BBQ sauce a plenty. Ordered the Regular Brisket Sandwich with one side - French Fries and the Pick of the Pit Combos - 1/4 Chicken ( your choice of dark or white meat) & Beef Brisket - chopped. The chopped Brisket has more marbling than sliced - depending on your preference. The Pick of the Pit Combo gets 2 sides - coleslaw & French fries was the selection today. The Coleslaw was chopped and mayo based with not a lot of flavor (could have used a little bit more sugar for sweetness) and the French Fries are Crinkle Cut, also comes with a slice of Garlic bread or Cornbread. The Beef Brisket was tender and had a pretty good flavor. I ordered the white 1/4 chicken and while the chicken had a nice color to it, it was bland. Beverage glasses are huge and happy to say Coke products are served. All the servers offered to provide to go cups for the beverages which is really nice. Monday - Wednesday there a $10 meal specials. Over all it was an ok lunch nothing to rave about.

Myself, my husband and a few of his family members ate here this past Saturday. I had never been to this Sonny's location before, but we had a good experience. There was no wait time and we were seated quickly. The décor included wood trim, lots of chopped wood, and big comfy booths. I started with the sweet tea, which was fresh and delicious. My husband and I got the BBQ pork eggrolls to start. They were crispy and delicious. We both got the pick of the pit two meat deal. I got pulled pork, bone in chicken, BBQ baked beans, tater tots, and garlic toast. It was a great deal for $15. Two of the sides in our order were incorrect, but our waitress quickly corrected it, and let us keep the sides that were incorrect. We would definitely eat here again. Rating from F to A+++, I give it an A++.

Really good meal

Keep them on their toes. They were a little slow and it was pretty empty. The one in SS blvd is better. Still; it is Sonny's. None better.

Sonny's is Sonny's. Good value for senior lunch. Ribs are good and usually they have some kind of 9.99 to 12.99 special.

I took my wife here for our 1st experience here, ( late Valentines dinner) Sunday February 15,…read more2026. The ambiance was wonderful, not too dark, not too bright! Chatter noise was low enough Iwe could reasonably talk together! She started with a french onion soup, steamy and thick, obviously homemade!! I had a lobster bisque with baquettes. She then chose the chicken fried steak with mash potatoes & green beans. I had the braised short ribs Mirepoix, garlic mash potatoes & csteamed carrots with short rib reduction! We topped the night off with a delightful PRINCESS DIANA'S Taste of Ocala award winning Bruleed Bread Pudding w/ fresh berries & Amaretto , Almonds!! Btw, the Chicken fried steak is offered every Sunday. Our server, Joanne, was excellent and very knowledgeable!! The only downside was about 3 items unavailable due to heavy traffic on Valentine's Day on Saturday. The tables were candlelit, clean, and seating was comfortable. I wont mention our coke & tea, we just dont imbibe in alcoholic drinks. But it appeared they had a wide assortment of choices!! I recommend THE BRAISED ONION!!

We got sat right away and greeted by our server. Our server was nice and helpful with the menu. We ordered fish n chips, Hawaiian salad, pow pow chicken, and chicken picatta. The salad came out with fresh ingredients and the dressing was delicious. The rest of the food was not good. The pow pow chicken was mostly breading and no chicken. The few small pieces of chicken we did have were way over cooked. The fish and chips had the same problem - mostly breading and no fish. Also, they don't have tartar sauce. I've never been to a place that sells fish n chips that doesn't have tartar sauce. The dining area is an open concept. There were some plants spread around the place is clean. Over all, the server was nice but the food wasn't very good. I wouldn't recommend eating there. We will try someplace else next time we are in town.

Then we split a grilled chicken, mushroom and Swiss sandwich either curly fries. Boy, glad we did I could not finish my half because I was too full, but everything tasted good.

We had to see what we were missing, so we made the 45 minute trek to this unpretentious building on 36th Avenue in Ocala. The parking lot was full and we had to park way in the back on sand. That was a great sign! The restaurant is much bigger inside than it looks from the outside and with all the cars it didn't feel crowded as we expected. We were greeted and seated immediately. The place was clean and the menu extensive. I ordered the burger and my husband had a fish sandwich. The portion of the fish that was served was huge, but not cooked long enough in my husband's opinion. The burger was more bun than meat. Also, it had an odd taste which I compared to hamburgers served in a school cafeteria. Maybe because the burgers had been so hyped I was just bound to be disappointed. The coleslaw was to die for and I could've eaten just a bowl of that! We tried it and are glad, but it is definitely not worth the trip or the hype.

I do apologize, looking up something her on Yelp I realized I never wrote a review at the time, and I feel bad, as when you get great "homemade" quality food that is prepared fresh and perfectly seasoned, the restaurant and its staff deserve recognition. It's been about 5 weeks since I was there - sorry! Met a couple other ladies for lunch there, for 2 of us, it was our first time. The lady who was a repeat customer raved about their cheddar broccoli soup and I had to have it. I got the bowl, because I was really hungry. It's a big bowl and the soup was soul satisfying. They had peanut butter pie on the menu and I was too full to eat it then, so took it home. I had a great piece of peanut butter pie when I was in my teens on a trip with my folks. I've been searching over 50 years for another that would be as good. I've had a lot of bad one, so-so and delicious, but not quite as good. Later with a cup of tea, I tasted the peanut butter pie from Depot on Magnolia and - home run, be still my heart it was absolutely delicious and what I've been looking for all these years. It's very rich and a generous slice that could easily be shared, but I wouldn't want to :). I was glad to enjoy mine over the course of 2 days, could have been 3 - but on day 2, I went back for the rest that evening. I don't have pictures of our food at the restaurant, but later, I took a picture of half of the slice I took home - my holy grail of peanut butter pie
