    Ribs and smoked wings
    Glenn M.

    With our past history at Sonny's, we wanted to stop in when we first got to town. We had ribs and smoked wings, and ribs with brisket. Both meals were very tasty and the sides were great. I had a good beer and we had sweet tea. We had plenty to bring home to our temporary home. Also, you can drink as much sweet tea as you want in the restaurant and they will still give you a large one to go. We stopped in again a few days later for a takeaway. We had brisket to take to the local brewery, which we really enjoyed.

    Pork trio!! Yummy!!

    I drove by this one a few times thinking I'll stop sooner or later? Well I finally went In and boy was it good. I had the pork trio which included sliced pork, pulled pork and pork ribs along with two sides, mine being coleslaw and beans! Also my favorite drink, unsweetened tea! And boy do they make some good tea! It was enough food to make me roll out of there! Very friendly service and tv to watch while you eat! Just like home! So if you're in the Palatka area and want some good barbecue, stop by, you'll be glad you did!!

    Ok I was in the mood for barbecue traveling from Ft. Meyers to St. Augustine. Stopped here because when I lived in Florida this was the go to place. Disappointed. Brisket was fatty and chewy and the whole meal disappointed and the meat was dry. The brisket was the worst I've ever had. They put literally 5 small pieces of brisket on the plate and it was terrible. Prices aren't cheap. The glasses of iced tea are huge and I liked them. But they messed up my to go tea and gave me all sweet. I had to throw it out at a rest stop. Don't waste your time here

    Sonny's!  Lots of parking available in their parking lot!

    Did the drive-thru this time! Don't forget to ask for extra bbq sauce packages! We met our friends at Azalea Brewing & enjoyed our bbq there!

    Not only did the food give me diarrhea, they changed my 18% tip to a 27% tip. Needless to say, I will not be eating here ever again.

    I have eaten here many times and had the beef sliced sandwich and the sliced beef dinner and they are in my opinion ranked with the best I have eaten!

    Had one of the worst meals I can remember in a long time. To begin with, the waitress seated us and…read morewe were the only ones in our section, but as 2 couples and a family subsequently came in, they were seated right behind us and next to us( so much for social distancing in a Pandemic!). The waitress was nice and polite and subsequently took our orders. Our appetizer, the onion rings, we're brought out and they were big and crispy and turned out to be the highlight of the night. It became apparent that the waitress was having problems with the kitchen and was constantly ringing a bell to get somebody or anybody's attention in the kitchen. Our entrees came out, and they were brutal. I had the pork sampler and immediately realized portions of my entree were cold. The ribs I got had little to no flavor, we're quite greasy and more fat than meat. My pulled pork was cold , dry and basically not edible. The pork sausage was ok, but reminded me of something I'd get at Race Trac or another convenience store. My partners meal was similarly bad, as it was partially cold, her ribs were tasteless and fatty and the fries she requested well done were soft and chewy; she did like her little container of coleslaw, but basically was done before she started. All in all, it was a wasted $50 on our part, and as it appeared the other groups were having problems getting selected items they ordered, I'd say the establishment has some kitchen problems they need to get corrected. Needless to say, we won't be going back....
