    Sampler..mmmmm
    Debbie F.

    Lately, Sonny's reward program is paying off. This week was BOGO sandwiches. The sandwiches were great sized and a great price. We had a turkey and pulled pork. The buns started to harden by the last bite but were still delicious. I bought a side of cole slaw abd poured it inside my turkey sandwich and went to heaven. Next rewards are reveals so those are usually great...

    Subdued. . . .when we first went into the restaurant just after it opened at 11a.m., the hostess seemed "not thrilled" to see our Red Hat Chapter members showing up. I had made the staff aware of our plans a month earlier and again two days before our Thursday arrival. I know there are no reservations but I didn't want a group of 15 being a "surprise." It didn't matter, she wasn't pleased. Nevertheless, some tables were put together in the back and we were seated. But, for almost a half an hour, nothing happened. Then, waitperson Vinessa arrived to work and she was told to be our server. Honestly, she was as upset by the lack of cordiality by the staff that was already there as we were. She got right on our drink orders and then took our meal orders. She didn't seem to get much help, but she's so competent that she handled it well. Kudos to her! The food was very tasty and that part all enjoyed. So, in the end, things were good but I can't give five stars because of the initial lack of welcoming. I give Vinessa more than five stars, though!

    Brisket

    Out running errands and decided to stop by Sonny's for a late lunch. It took us awhile to get seated and there were not a lot of customers at the time. We ordered ribs and shredded brisket, along with the sides - it was delicious! Enough food to take some home for another meal. I must admit, I really like the sweet tangy BBQ sauce. (We had Sonny's for Thanksgiving dinner, and I had the chance to experiment to see which sauce I liked better.) Service, by Vicki, was good. Restaurant was clean. Restaurant was almost full when we left. I guess others had the same idea we did. Thanks Sonny's - delicious!!

    Candied Bacon Burger
    Anthony B.

    The lady that took our order rushed through it didn't listen to a word we said about our food. She brought the burger with everything on it when I told her I wanted plain with nothing on it, but the bacon and cheese then she brought it back and just had cheese and nothing else on it. I'm highly upset at this establishment and how the services They serve my mom with baked beans she didn't want that. She told her that she wanted green beans and when they got the green beans to our table, they were cold and look like it came out of the bottom of the of the pan. Then when we got my check, it had a bacon cheeseburger on there when I had no bacon on my burger, and the lady kept on checking on us not even stopping just running through us every single time she asked us about something she really needs. Her service checked on because she does not deserve to be in that kind of position and I will not be bringing back my business to this place ever again unless it gets taken care of And you guys only deserve a half a star for this service

    I normally stay away from the chain type bbq restaurants but Sonny's in Orange Park has been very good. I have had a chance to do take-out as well as dine in and the quality has been very consistent. The bbq pork egg rolls and corn nuggets are must try appetizers. Both the baby back and St. Louis ribs are amazing and the smoked wings have a great taste. The sweet cornbread is like eating dessert. I will say that the sides are average but then again nobody eats bbq for the side dishes.

    Beef brisket sandwich
    Paul T.

    I really enjoyed the business lunch today at this establishment, from the moment we opened the front door. The smell of wood burning was welcoming, on a relatively chilly day in Jacksonville, the hostess was prompt and amicable and seated us promptly. Service was good, the waitress was polite,took our orders promptly and checked on us while he had our meals. I had a beef brisket sandwich, on garlic bread, with baked beans and cole slaw, and what a good decision that was. At only $7.95 was priced appropriately.

    Sonny's Bar with an almost finished Sonny's amber
    John M.

    Okay, we all know the food is pretty good. They need some help in operations though. They had a plethora of people the day I went. I don't know too many places that have 8-10 people working To-Go. We ordered online. We received notification the food would be ready in 12 minutes. About an hour later they package our food. We grabbed a Sonny's Amber at the bar to pass the time. We weren't the only ones either. Several people walked out or asked for refunds. It was highly inconsistent. Some people would walk up and order and grab their food before those waiting. The food also had varying temperatures meaning they cooked and placed to the side. It was an unmitigated disaster today lol. I feel bad for the servers who were all arguing with each other and complaining about either being behind or about each other. I will come back as I have been going to this location since I was 3 lol.

    Pulled pork mush..

    Sonny's on Kingsley Ave in Orange Park today was horrible.. I had the pork 3 ways and it was almost like it was par boiled , small and terrible ..

    Seriously, that's all the coleslaw they can spare for a sandwich

    True Food Kitchen is an extremely well thought out and delicious dining experience…read more The restaurant is beautiful outside and inside. It's elegant but simple inside. Great use of earth tone of green and brown along with wood floors and walls. There is every type of seating booths, tables both small and large. You can see into the kitchen and drink station and it's done in a way that just adds to the decor. We were seated immediately with our reservation and waited on with water soon after. There is no soda served here, just their own drink blends along with alcohol drinks. We had water and decided to try their drinks another time. Everything is fresh, locally sourced and delicious. I had the jambalaya pasta and it was really good. Slightly spicy, the shrimp and chicken cooked to perfection and the "holy trinity " hit just right. My wife ordered the farmer's scramble off of the brunch menu and it was amazing as well. The true star of our meal may have been the sweet potato chips. Just the perfect crunch, the exact right amount of salty and sweet...fantastic. The fries were solid, the sauce was unique, tangy and a great accompaniment. Our lemon blueberry muffin was just a bit dry. Average in a meal that was otherwise stellar. Because they use such fresh ingredients and cook it in ways that are a bit more healthy, I left feeling full but not overly stuffed or bad. If you haven't tried True Food Kitchen, I highly suggest you do. There's something for everyone and everything is done well.

    We came here because we were shopping at Saint Johns Town Center…read more They had all the doors / windows open so inside was the same temperature as outside. If you're walking around outside doing shopping and you want to come inside the cool off, this is not the place to go. The food was good. It wasn't the best I've ever had and it wasn't the worst. My husband got a buffalo chicken sandwich that was 3 stars. Wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to rave about. I'm not sure what these sides were that came with it, but I do know that french fries weren't up charge and they were extremely bland lacked salt and were cold. I got a salad because it said that it had carrots and cauliflower and I added chicken but honestly, it was mostly spring mix. The other salads said that it was Green and Spring mix. This one did not so I was hoping for it to be more vegetables and not so much spring mix. If there was two florettes of cauliflower cut up in there that was a lot . The service was definitely five star. We sat at the bar and there were two people work in the bar and they were both very attentive and one of them made up extra of a green kale drink and gave us a little sample, which was quite fabulous Honestly, moving forward whether to go in here or not would depends on whether all of the doors were open going to the outside. The dumplings with the edamame were really good, but that's also more about the liquid broth that's in it. You can't just eat the dumplings so I think each item has its own quirk. I have no idea why on a hot day they would have all those doors open and not have the AC running for the people inside that wanted to be cool. Maybe they did have the AC running but with the doors open, it would be pointless.

That level of responsiveness says a lot about their commitment to customer satisfaction. My wife and I started sharing a wedge salad and French onion soup -- both perfectly prepared and full of flavor.
