This particular Sonny's BBQ is just outside of the airport, which makes it a convenient location to grab a meal before your flight leaves or after picking up a ravenous passenger who wants to eat as soon as possible. Honestly for a chain restaurant, Sonny's BBQ does an overall good job ay presenting a nice enough meal in a pleasant enough setting. Our server was friendly and again, our food was pretty good. Sonny's BBQ has been around since 1968 and they opened their first location in Gainesville, Florida. They have since grown to about a hundred locations through eight states. Pretty impressive. I went with their pulled pork and found it a good meal. Again, this location is close to the airport and is an overall good location, especially if you are traveling out of or coming in to Orlando International Airport. I will give it four stars overall. read more

I've been craving a pulled chicken sandwich and this place did not disappoint. I came on a Tuesday for lunch and it was pretty dead inside. I sat at the bar and Darlene quickly came to help me. The food came out quick. The chicken sandwich was delicious and so were all the sauces. I want to try the garlic bread next time. The tots were fresh and crispy. I ordered the $6 pink lemonade and it's pretty good. Great value. I'll likely return. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Had lunch at Sonny's and the service was really fast, which I appreciated. The BBQ was solid, nothing fancy, but everything tasted good. I'm not going to lie, I think I prefer Sonny's over a couple of local Orlando BBQ spots. The atmosphere was casual and easygoing, perfect for a quick bite. Overall, a reliable spot for decent BBQ, and I'd definitely go back whenever they do their AYCE promotions. read more

We were here last Friday for lunch after arriving at Orlando International Airport. We have eaten at this location in the past and this visit was similar. Go food, fair prices, nice portions and arrived as ordered. It has a full bar with the full menu available to customers. Restrooms were tidy as was the restaurant. Service was also spot on, friendly and helpful. read more

Me and my partner arrived here around noon, it was my first time trying this place because there's not any in California. So for our drinks I wanted raspberry tea but the server said they're out, but this early in the day they're out!? And I did not get a good vibe with our server even my partner had address she has an attitude taking our order. But I ordered Candied bacon burger well done, my burger came out so burn and I can barely ate it. I told her about being burned and I'm glad she exchanged it. We had onion rings and okra on the side, and my partner ordered turkey powder something and it didn't come with a drink!? She charges us extra for the drink of coke and raspberry that never made. So I have to tell her about it. The experience wasn't great and our server did not have a good customer service. It was not just that day because theres less people in that time. I'll probably go to different Sonny bbq. read more

You cannot go wrong with this bbq joint. I usually dont like white chicken but theirs is an exception. It was smoky and moist without being overpowering and I didn't feel like I was eating a over steroid chicken. My youngest fav was the brisket. Everything was delish - even the sides which were beans, Cole slaw. I wish it was closer to us! read more

The food is borderline quality anymore. The service is outrageously bad. The drive-through people get paid a higher hourly wage to do their job because they don't have the opportunity for tips like servers but yet they solicit you for tips. They are the slowest you could imagine they don't check the orders and I'm just sick and tired of eating at Sonnys. They don't care about our business I was sitting in there for 17 minutes to get two kids meals. The guy before me was there for 13 minutes and he ordered 2 pints of baked beans. Everybody seems clueless. I am tired of being solicited for tips because the employer cannot pay their people better. They need to stop this policy. read more

Fast and okay BBQ. Came to this location on the way to the airport (OIA) as a way to avoid the airport tax on food. We were greeted promptly and server came immediately. Service was kind and helpful, restaurant was on the side of fairly unkept with sticky floors, misc. litter on the floor. Restrooms could also have used some attention. Food came out quick and was on the okay side. Turkey required their sauces which the bottles needed to be replaced as the lettering was about worn off. I choose the sweet which for the turkey was perfect. I had a side of three chicken wings and they were also okay. Overall this isn't the best or the worst barbecue in town, but if the restaurant could be better maintained, this would easily be a four star restaurant. read more

Food, needs a lot of improvement, I got the 4.meat combo, (baby back ribs, pulled pork, pulled brisket and smoked wings) coking with 2 side dishes and sliced garlic bread. 5 different bbq sauces are on the table I think they are the stars of the food. Meat looks like was prepare aged and save in a warmer or something similar, was just warm and look like old and to dry , I feeling that i am eating muy lunch left over. Really nothing memorable or I can say ," I like to have more of this dish"......we asked for French fries and was just a wave frozen FF that you can buy at any fast food or dinner. The coleslaw I thing was from package as well the the Mac and Cheese ( terrible, worst than the Kraft for kids) We had the spring roll peach clover for dessert the dough was uneven cooked, in parts was burnt, the center some parts crispy and some raw.......but the flavor was good. Service 5 Bryana was very nice friendly and attentive, she save the diner....... Ambience it's ok not very special and a lot of TVs. In the dining area. I'm sorry but if I'm around this area , I will pick some other place to go. read more

Always good we've been going there for 20 years. Sonny has been the best in Orlando for as long as I can remember dating back to 1992. They treat you nice. The food is good. No the food is always great. Server staff is always nice amicable and chatty. Love it. That's what I look for when I go out to eat nice people and excellent product. Keep it up. read more

We ordered two meats with three sides. More than we expected! The order consisted of ribs, brisket, mac and cheese, fried okra, baked beans, garlic bead and a side of chicken wings. The food was simply delicious. The service was quick and our server was warm and welcoming! Thanks for your Southern Hospitality! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Baby back ribs (what's left lol) - Barbeque Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Went here for dinner today and had excellent service and great food. The cocktails were tasty, especially the spiked pink lemonade. The smoked wings, brisket, and baby back ribs were all moist and tender--just perfect. Garlic bread and coleslaw were also perfect. The green beans were soggy and too chopped up/mushy. The donut holes with sweet sauce and the banana pudding with fresh mushy bananas were both delicious. The place needs a renovation with the sticky varnished tables and older restrooms but overall a great experience. Would easily come back here again for more great food. read more

Delicious food. Great location. Love coming here. Our favorite BBQ restaurant. Never bad food and our grandson loves it too.

Walked in and put our name down aware there would be a wait. Another couple walked in after us and the server helping seat sat them. We were sat and waited 20 minutes before being helped. Not sure if the host forgot to tell the server the table had been sat or of the server forgot about us. Once we we ordered, it did not take long to receive our food. I had the pulled pork sandwich, which is always good. Since this location is close to the airport, it can get busy with visitors. read more

Quick service by a very helpful server, Jacob. Within minutes of entering, we were greeted by the host and taken to a table. Our server, Jacob came. H quickly and took our drink order. He was back in what seemed seconds with our drinks and ready to take our order. I ordered cheese curds as an appetizer and the new Maple BBQ Turkey Club with a side of baked beans. My companion ordered a two meet platter consisting of brisket and chicken with a side of fries and collard greens. Meals came out quickly. My sandwich was huge and very tasty. I'll definitely order it again and you can't go wrong with the baked beans. My companion said the brisket and chicken were very tasty. Service was top notch. Jacob checked on us regularly. The restaurant is very clean and well organized. There was a slight smokiness in the air which one would expect in a BBQ restaurant. We will definitely be back soon! read more

'Ello Chaps, Sonny's BBQ is a chain BBQ restaurant, featuring an array of meats and sides. Brisket, pork, turkey, chicken, you name it, they got it. Gotta love the sides, especially the fried okra. I love coming to Sonny's and just having a good satisfying meal. One downside is the price of a two-meat plate is just a dollar or two more than the sandwich meal, so you're better off getting the larger plate meal, but then it's too much food. Shoutout to Larry for the great service too. Top notch, friendly and attentive and quick with those drink refills. Great part of this joint is that it doesn't take long for the food to come out. read more

Sonny's in Orlando! Great Southern BBQ! Whitney provided fantastic service and the food was fantastic! The atmosphere is very friendly and folksy! My sweet wife had the BBQ Pulled Chicken with Coleslaw and Baked Beans which she loved ! I had the Pulled Pork with the same sides and we traded some of the meat . We tried several of the different excellent BBQ sauces. My favorite was the Sweet! My wife and I have to eat Gluten Free and this restaurant has numerous options 5 stars!!! If you are staying anywhere near the airport this place is a must! If not, it's worth the drive! read more

I'm not too big of a BBQ fan but I came here with my parents who love BBQ and I was so surprised. Everything was amazing! The flavor of the ribs and all the sides were great.

My wife & I decided to go back to Sonny's after we visited it two days prior,but this time we did take out & took advantage of their month of May special. Since Sonny's was established in May 1968 they ran a special for the month of May every Wednesday. My wife had The Big Deal Pork Sandwich w/ a side & a drink for $6.00! I had a Pork & Rib Combo w/ two sides for $10.00! read more

Wings are hot, tender, and delicious. Great sauces to add your own level of flavor. Came out quickly. Really enjoyed Sonny's Cuban, although I ordered without sauce and substituted the sweet BBQ. Beef brisket sandwich was also good. One of our party ordered the 3 pork plate and thought it was okay. Enjoyed the corn bread as it was moist and flavorful. Our waitress Martha was Great! Great service, friendly and on top of everything. read more

My husband talked about going to Sonny's BBQ when he'd come to Orlando as a kid... so we had to stop at one while we were here. The decor has drastically changed since his childhood: gone is the red painted wood, old "country" feel. Now the decor is modern industrial with cool black accents, galvanized metal, natural raw wood and subway tiles. We came at a somewhat an odd time of 4pm on a Monday. The restaurant was fairly empty and we were both seated and served by a bartender named Abby. She was amazing/awesome/wonderful. She put our kiddos order in right away so their food would come out quick! Our kids picked: Mac & cheese, a burger and kids ribs. My husband got a ribs and wings meal and I went with the Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their meals (aside from our picky eater who didn't eat her Mac & cheese.) Highly recommend. read more

Taste: (8/10) It's not bad at all! I wasn't disappointed with how it tasted. The sauce seems to be a staple. Their sauces are delicious. Appearance: (10/10) Refer to the photo! Value: (10/10) For the amount of food I got, it's worth the price. It's pretty filling. General Comment: Overall, the food was good! I really enjoy their sauces.
