    Puppy on the patio!
    Morgan E.

    We have been to this Sonny's before, and didn't have the best experience because of the server we had. But we came again tonight for the tax day ribs deal. And let me say Mikaela is the absolute best, first of all she is so sweet, and then on top of that it was clearly a busy night and she absolutely killed it serving all the tables she had. She got all our orders right, was totally on top of refills and drinks. The one drink that was a bit of an issue was only because someone else took the orders and got it wrong in the first place so she had remembered that one Honestly Mikaela is the best server I've had anywhere in a long time. Give the girl a raise!

    Awesome lunch, this place never disappoints. My St. Louis ribs smoked to perfection. 10/10 Server Jen was great! I love this place. Nice roomy, clean dining area. I would happily recommend this location!!

    I am giving Sonny's BBQ a five star review because I really enjoyed it. It's not a five-star restaurant in terms of ambience and being costly as usual five star restaurants are. We had a great dinner on a Tuesday night. When we got there it was packed, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes for table. The service was really good. I had the Pitmasters plate with two meats. I chose the ribs and the pulled pork with green beans and coleslaw on the side plus garlic bread. It was delicious. The only thing I would say is that the ribs and pulled pork were not very hot but they tasted good anyway. My vegetarian husband had a salad and a side order of okra. The okra was so delicious that I would advise anybody who is reading this to make sure to order the okra. Parking is very easy, they have a big parking lot!

    Cuban sandwich with tater tots

    As a member of their app, you get a free birthday sandwich meal. I had never eaten here before so it was a great time to try it. Inside the restaurant smells so good. The food took a little bit of time, but my tater tots were fresh. The sandwich was a large and delicious. I ate half for lunch and half for dinner. I will definitely be back.

    I stopped in for dinner last night thinking it would be kind of a quick meal. I didn't know it was a sit down and be served set up. The service was kind of slow. The server was really nice tho. I ordered a caesar salad with pulled chicken. The dressing was on the side and came in Ken's packets which kind of disappointed me. I used one packet and used some bbq sauce and it did nothing for the meal. Normally I would give a place another try but I think I can find a bbq Caesar somewhere else.

    I must say we were not expecting the heightened level of service we received at the local Sonny's today. Anthony the kindest, most courteous and attentive waiter we have had in Orlando for a while. We're a family of six and usually eat out at higher end places and spend way more money than we did tonight. The level of service Anthony provided made us feel like we were at one of those places... the food was delicious. Super fresh, light and fluffy okra, tender pulled pork and sweet crunchy coleslaw... We will definitely be coming back!! The restaurant was really clean and the decor was super cute. Really nice family vibe.

    As soon as I walked in the smell of bbq hit my face and it was the BEST SMELL! The restaurant was nice and clean and I loved that they had different types of bbq sauces on the table. Our server was a little scatter brained and when my boyfriend ordered a sweet tea she came back two seconds after leaving the table and asked again if it was a half sweet half unsweetened tea and he politely said no just sweet. She came back with the drinks and brought him half sweet half unsweetened. The food specials they offer are great prices . We both ordered the ribs and pulled pork special. Serving size was fantastic, flavor was good, but everything was cold.

We asked why the check was $10 higher, (2 entrees only, no drinks). The server sent the owner over and she was a little short with us. She said the new menus were delayed. This serious menu prices issue might explain why there were only 2 tables of customers, the place was nearly empty at 5:30 p.m. The staff has changed. There's no friendliness or efficiency among the staff. The server yelled across the restaurant, "was that 4 waters with lemon?" The customer care has spiraled into borderline rude and is definitely not the same as it was. I told the server and the owner that the hush puppies were cold and hard as rocks. The check rung up a haddock even though it was cod that was served. The burgers are very good, but they need to grill the bun since the bottom bun was super soggy. The owner needs to step up and take some responsibilities for the drastic changes in poorer service, too. The menu pictured is the one we were given even though the increases only showed up on the check.

    Wow these portions!…read more What Ofcourse I got the 2 signature meals. The jerk chicken and also the fried chicken with honey. The jerk chicken, I got with rice and peas, mixed veggies and cabbage. The cabbage was a little strange to me- not as I imagined from Jamaica steamed cabbage. The mixed veggies were also basic - like boiled frozen mixed veggies. The rice and peas were overall good but tasted a little on the hard side. The chicken though! This was the highlight - it was very flavorful, though I wish I would be able to have the sauce on the side.. For the fried chicken meal - the fried chicken was nice and hot. I got this to-go and was worried it would get soggy but it still tasted great when I got home. Environment This is located in a plaza tucked away near the corner. It seems to be a more takeout restaurant. There is some seats inside for your to enjoy the food. Since it is in a plaza, there is plenty of parking available, but in front of the restaurant could be a bit tricky. Niceness of the staff I would say she was not on the nice side. No one greeted me upon entering also they seemed preoccupied and did not once gave eye-contact. Definitely not friendly.. but nonetheless I got my food. Dollar It is like the bang for your buck. I ordered via UnderEats and there are deals, it was very reasonable as you get 2 leg quarters! Yes I would definitely order takeout again

It began in 2004 as a "Barbecue Ministry" when he hosted a backyard cookout fundraiser to help a local family whose daughter was battling cancer. In October 2009, he opened the first official 4 Rivers Smokehouse location in Winter Park, Florida. The restaurant gained a loyal following for its smoked brisket and Southern sides. Fast forward to today, when the chain has grown to around 15-23 locations. It is still family-owned and continues to expand while staying rooted in its community-focused origins. I have visited 3 different locations and like atmosphere, food, prices and style. This location is to the northwest of the SR 50 and Vineland road intersection. There is plenty of parking. The inside is a counter where you order your food moving from left to right and pay at the end. There are three sets of seating: by the counter, in the next room and outside on the patio. They have serve yourself drinks in the second room along with to-go containers. The food is a mix of barbeque beef and wings and various sides. I got a pulled pork sandwich, fries and tea. It came out quick and was excellent. The place was very clean and the staff was super friendly. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting a good meal, at a decent price, in a pleasant atmosphere in the Ocoee area.

We did have to wait for just a minute because they were at changeover for servers and many of the night servers were just coming on.. We started with the lump crab hush puppies. They come as an order of four and they literally just kind of pop in your mouth. They are so good. We would definitely come back just to have those. My husband got the Cajun steak, but he got everything that comes on the steak on the side, including the seasoning. He wasn't sure how spicy the seasoning was or what the sauce was and he likes to be able to control that himself. Steak was good. He did have a little bit of the season and said next time he definitely order it with the seasoning on as the seasoning wasn't that spicy. He also got a side of the au gratin potatoes and the collard greens. The collards were not the best. They definitely need some more flavor. He added hot sauce to it and it helped it but they definitely need some additional seasoning. The potatoes were good although as you got to the bottom, they definitely were not cooked all the way through. They could've been cooked a little bit longer. I got the chicken and waffle - it comes with four pieces of chicken and a half waffle. The waffle is really delicious. It's got a little crunch on the outside but a little sweetness in it and the chicken was absolutely amazing. I would definitely get the fried chicken again there is a reason they are famous for it. Our server, Ariana was incredibly sweet and very attentive to us throughout the night. Great service like that would also have us come back to this location again in the future.

    Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."
