During my visit, I observed a manager speak to an employee in a manner that was openly demeaning, belittling, and entirely inappropriate done in full view of customers. The tone and content of the interaction were unprofessional and unnecessary, and it created an uncomfortable environment not only for the employee, but for everyone present. Regardless of internal performance issues or operational pressures, there is no justification for humiliating an employee publicly. If coaching or correction is required, it should be handled privately and with basic professional respect. What I witnessed reflected poorly on your leadership standards and on your brand as a whole. As a customer, I found the situation disturbing enough that it materially affected my perception of your organization. No company that values its people or its reputation should tolerate this kind of behavior from anyone in a management role. and if that wasn't bad enough, I witnessed the same manager, just moments later speak to a customer walking in to place it to go order in such a condescending tone that if I was that person I would've left.? and that's actually what I did as I sat at the bar. I only had time to order a drink before I witnessed this situation so I asked to pay for my drink and I left there is no chance I would ever give this establishment my business. read more

We walked in hungry, and left disappointed, unsatisfied, and still hungry. I ordered their candied bacon burger, was told by the waitress that the patties are made fresh and would take a moment for the kitchen to prepare because they are made to order - pure lie. The bacon was cooked previously, and then heated up, the burger was soggy and cold it was not made to order. And the face of shock whenever the burger came out without the fried onions, sauce, and etc it was supposed to was a shock to the waitress. I had to flag her down to get any of the other ingredients that were supposed to be on the burger. I laughed even harder though once I attempted to bite into a fry and it was still frozen LOL at that point I wanted to just walk out. My daughter only ate the fries that were a little heated on her plate and only took a bite out of her burger before giving up. It was gross, and I'm sorry I won't be back read more

We had a great meal at Sonny's BBQ! Hayden was an excellent server and made our visit even better. We weren't sure what kind of meat to get on our loaded tater tots, and Hayden recommended the brisket. It turned out to be the perfect choice and was a big hit with the whole family. We're glad we took his suggestion! The restaurant was clean, the service was quick, and the food was delicious. Everything came out hot and fresh, and we had a very enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be stopping back the next time we're driving through town. Thanks, Hayden, for the great service! read more

Service is below zero! We ordered ST. L dinner and my husband asked if we add additional ribs how much she said $4. We have on sides bake mac n cheese, bake beans and fries, after 35mins, food arrived and she said the mac n cheese still baking and i asked here looks like no additional ribs on it and she said i will check the kitchen. And we almost done eating i asked here again follow up the additional ribs she said is almost ready. Then 1 server come to our table asked u need anything i told her we are waiting the the other addtl ribs and she said she will check. And few minutes our server come and she ask do u want additional ribs? I said what?? From the beginning we told u we want extra ribs our order and she looks confused and out fucos, and she ask again u want more meat? I was like omg! I told her we follow up or another order and the mac n cheese why till now didnt serve we already done eat the food serve but the other ordsr not yet. Then she said what do u want u want more plates of ribs i said im tired repeating, so i told her we are waiting the other food to serve bcoz we already finish the first dinner plate serve. Then she said so u want more plates of ribs, i said yes this is sooooo annoyed! Ok waiting again! Then few minutes i asked her if the mac n cheese not ready yet cancelled and the ribs then she said its ready now, i said ok bring it. I told here why take so long the order ribs should be always cooked and ready to served. Anyway, will never be ever coming this place again! Staffs need more training! read more

This place was so bad I'm writing this review after nearly a month. The experience stuck with me. Ordered three meats: The burnt rib tips, I think, which was just scraps floating around in a sea of sugary sauce. The hickory chicken was OK. But the pork was so salty it was inedible, and that's saying something coming from me. The sides were absolutely tiny, which was OK because they were terrible. The slaw had no sauce, and the toast was barely more than a piece of bread briefly shown, partially, to the grill. The green beans were OK, but just canned, and overcooked. Service was pleasant, although I went through the drive through. The food was unforgivable though. read more

Pros: Quick seating; bbq chicken sandwich was good. Cons: Terrible service (never got an extra plate we asked for, we had to wait a lonnnng time for our check to pay or to go box), and this restaurant was not busy at all. My husband's pulled pork was very tough (and we could not cut with the Bible School knives and forks they give you); I asked for pulled chicken - not sure what their definition is but it wasn't what I got... very big pieces I had to pull apart myself to eat! read more

My husband and I went to Sonny's this past Saturday night for dinner. We had Layla as our server. She was so friendly and attentive. We could tell she really enjoys her job. Restaurants need more people like her. read more

Sonny's may be my all time favorite meal! Not all Sonny's are created equally...this one stand out as pretty good! My go to meal is a smoked turkey on Garlic bread with fries and ranch! Service is typically quick, and the ambience is casual and like a back heard BBQ. read more

Lovely service with a knowledgeable and pleasant server. Food came out quickly and it was hot. Our party of four had different dishes. Our beef, pork and chicken were all delicious with an array of different complementary sauces. Garlic bread was good. Corn nuggets were new to me and I greatly enjoyed them. This is a Southern BBQ well worth the visit. read more

Very disappointed in pulled chicken which tasted and felt like it was a week old! Hiding it in a chopped salad did not work read more

Sonny's BBQ - Supposed to be pulled chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Perry, Georgia

Service, food, ambiance teamed all together, umm, makes me question: should I move to Perry, so BBQ could be my neighbor? Look.. before the food wed my mouth the resturant's surrounding was.. homely. Hype man for the staff: their voices and appearances this customer couldn't ask for more. Now as for the food.. delicious! I may have ordered too much. The beef brisket sandwich, oh my gosh, it made my mouth feel like it found purpose. And the peach cobbler... ideal! read more

Great people, the bartender was awesome and really funny. We came at closing time and they still were great!

I could not eat the tough rib i couldn't even break thm apart, the fries were cold hard i paid 21dollars for bbq beans and garlic bread, i left everything else on the plate...i start to notice i think they reheat the food,its not fresh read more

Our server Cameron was amazing! Our food was hot and fresh, the salads he made for us were so good! We will be back to see Cameron! Keep up the awesome job! read more

Everything with the service was great. Friendly staff, attentive, etc. Meat is just ok though. I had a sample plate and the chicken was dry and the ribs were small and a little overdone because they looked like the end pieces. Did have a happy hour drink menu that may be worth checking out but the BBQ would not be the motivating factor to return. read more

Now for the update of my last review on Sonny's BBQ in Perry, Georgia. This location got an overhaul in updates and a new layout inside of the restaurant looks like a whole lot better than before. The staff and management are great and understanding when there is an issue that needs to be fix they fix it and not make excuses about whatever the case maybe. The lunch and dinner entrees taste a lot better than before which is nice and same with the drinks. The updates...This location will now have a bar upfront with plenty of seating as well for you and your guest if you do decide to sit at the bar or near the bar. There is still separate restrooms for men and ladies to use. A+++ read more

It was pretty decent food portions were a little lite then I remember. The staff were good though. I left a very nice tip for them. The cooks well could use a little work read more

Really good foods, clean place, I will come back to this one specifically, big O plate dinner with baked potato, shredded brisket, broccoli, and a bun. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was even better. Cameron G. is by far the best server we have had in a long time from any restaurant we have been to. We highly recommend Sonny's BBQ & Cameron G. read more

We enjoy eating here and have been for over 15 years. Wait times are not too bad and always have a clean dinning room. Bathrooms aren't always clean or well stocked. Friendly staff and fast food to table. Always hot and flavorful. Parking is always packed but shows how good of food they have at the Perry Sonny's BBQ. They have in the past few updated the inside and looks great! We always leave stuffed and wishing we could try it all! Some of the best sweet tea in the south! read more

Great variety of barbecue sauces, menu selection is great, food is really good, love their brisket. Such a clean environment and the service was excellent. I really enjoyed eating there. Too bad I have to travel to get there. I will certainly look forward to returning when I visit to KY, FL, and GA. read more

We went out as a family and had the best experience. Our server, Holly, was amazing and very attentive to our needs. Will go again! Great food! read more

Stopped here for lunch and didn't know what to expect from this place. Got out of my truck and it smelled amazing. 9/10 if you can't smell the barbecue from the parking lot it's not going to be good. I ordered the Pork Threeway which is sliced pork, pulled pork and ribs. I initially thought this was all going to pretty much taste the same. To my surprise all three were delicious and slightly different in flavor. The ribs and pulled pork had just a little bit of sauce to enhance their flavor but didn't mute the flavor of the meat itself. The sliced pork was just straight forward smoked pork and it was delicious. Now to talk about the sides. Most barbecue places have the default sides bbq beans, coleslaw and potato salad. None of which are usually anything special. This kind of annoys me. I'm primarily there for barbecue but if I'm going to have sides, I want GOOD sides. Sonny's has a pretty decent assortment along with the standards. I had their baked beans and a baked sweet potato. The sweet potato was good, it's a sweet potato though so kind of hard to screw that up. As for the baked beans I'm on the fence, I personally didn't like the flavor of them but my hat goes off to them for doing something different. Portions were great, for less than $20 I couldn't finish my meal. I am definitely coming back here next time I pass through this town. read more

Everything was delicious! Maddie is a great waitress. We had the kids hot dog, sliced pork with sweet potato and a brisket sandwich. Love their sweet sauce. Highly recommend!! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our meals! We are fans of Sonny's - we use to eat at them every week but honestly took a couple years off but always wanted for them to come back around. The last 2 times we ate there it felt like the old Sonny's. Loved the remodel! Our waitress was sweet and the manager ,( wish I got their names) . Our meals were yummy!! Husband got the 3 porks and I got the big deal with a side salad and fries! Needless to say, SO glad it was good! Did I mention we love their sauces read more

Service! Cameron was one of the best waiters we have had in a long time. He made sure we got everything we needed even when they may not have had exactly what we wanted on the menu! read more

Ask for Cameron, he was very kind and attentive. He gave us recommendations on how he likes the food, by far some of the best service i've ever had. read more

Bbq was good. Keep in mind this sweet bbq, sweet coleslaw, sweet baked beans. The sweet tea is not very good. I wish the brisket was not so chopped up. Also the bbq Sauces all taste the same. Service was good, no complaints there. read more

Service was amazing. Food was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. Our server Niko/Nico was amazing, great service, and very nice overall. Thank you Sonny! read more

Food was good. The sweet sauce was very good. We liked the pulled pork, brisket and chicken best. The ribs were overly fatty. Baked beans were very good, coleslaw wasn't as mayo based or saucy as I like it but wasn't bad. Oh!! The corn nuggets or whatever they are called on the appetizers basically get in my mouth yummies! Make sure you get those! And! The sweet tea... so good we bought a gal to go. read more

Sonny's BBQ - a table full of food - Barbeque Near Me - Perry, Georgia

Stopped while traveling. Best Sonny's we've eaten in over the years. Restaurant was extremely clean. Waitress did an excellent job. Stopped to tell us they were busy but food still didn't take too long. It had lots of flavor and was served hot. The general manager Robert is doing an excellent job!! read more

Decent BBQ Poorly trained staff. Not a busy room, I sat at the bar and ordered right away, weirdly asked what side dish I wanted when I had ordered a sandwich and water only - then waited 20 minutes for a sandwich before being told my side wasn't ready. Ate my whole sandwich and still not ready, I then told them to pack it to go, and had time to use the rest room before my check came. Then - the staff I guess tried to be nice and say they didn't charge me for the combo, but I didn't order a combo!?! Clearly staff weren't trained to ask proper follow up questions when someone says "just the sandwich " Still left a $10 tip on a $9 sandwich to be nice, but won't be eating here again. read more

Good barbecue place, very nice atmosphere and good food. Choice of various style BBQ sauces. Helpful and friendly staff. Pork can be a little fatty for my taste. Overall I was very satisfied and would return when in the area. read more

Love eating at Sonny's! I'm glad after the Plandemic was over they reopened and added alcohol to their menu. Some of the Atlanta businesses actually added a bar, a great place for a date, making it classier than it was. If you love BBQ Sonny has a plethora of choices. Don't forget to order their baked beans, they added pull pork to them. I skip dessert and eat them last. read more

The food was hot and delicious. The beans were best we ever had. Sauces tasty but food didn't need it. Good just as was served. Jennifer our server was attentive and service fast. Belly happy read more

Sonny's BBQ - Beans, pork 3 ways!! - Barbeque Near Me - Perry, Georgia

When you are from a big city, you don't see $2.00 beers! I know it's happy hour but that's like different country prices to those from New York or Las Vegas. The food is okay, I had the ribs the first time, and they were significantly char'd on top; 2nd time I came, they were delicious, so it's hit or miss. The hot links weren't tasty and extremely dry, but the mac and cheese and beans were fantastic. I didn't dine in, but I usually smash a beer down while my food is being prepared. The bar area never has someone in it, and I always have to ask for someone to get a drink from the bar *even though I say while I'm buying food, I WOULD LIKE A BEER AT THE BAR, PLEASE* The staff varies in age, but so far they are all friendly and nice--just absent-minded for some. Also, the 2nd time I came here, they let my food sit out in the packaging for a good couple of minutes, then the server came to me and said Did you want this now????? I ordered it to go so, of course, I want it as soon as possible. Other than a few minor hiccups this place is great and if I could stay for happy hour I would... hahahahha $2.00 beers I can do some damage (: read more

The food ordered through the drive thru is awful!I would strongly advise against ordering anything from Sonny's BBQ in Perry, GA. The last time I ordered through the drive-thru they totally screwed up my order (this was months ago). Today I only ordered a pulled chicken sandwich and a side of coleslaw. When I got home, my sandwich consisted of chunks of very dry chicken (one piece looked like half of a chicken breast!) on a bun and no BBQ sauce. I've had pulled chicken before and it didn't looked like this! I threw some cole slaw on the chicken trying to make it edible. I certainly was not prepared for the small bones that I encountered when I tried to chew the bites I had taken! Needless to say, it got tossed into the trash! I have learned my lesson! Never again will I go to Sonny's BBQ! read more
