    Smoking Gun Sandwich (and fries)
    Sarah K.

    We came here on a Sunday for lunch. They weren't too crowded and we were seated right away. The service was good. Our server was okay. The food came out quickly. We had the value meal (only $13!); sandwich, drink and side. The Smoking Gun Sandwich (beef, brisket, sausage) was good. The sausage wasn't that hot. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was fine. It was an average pulled pork sandwich. The value meal deal was a very good price for the amount you got.

    We haven't stopped by this location in quite a while. I'm certainly glad that we did. The restaurant was clean and tidy. We were quickly greeted and seated. We ordered the "Big Deal". We opted for the Sliced Pork on a bun with fries. We also got an order of Fried Okra with some ranch dressing for dipping. The food came out in about 15 minutes and it was piping hot! Overall, the food was delicious. Our server was friendly and speedy. We also ordered a quart of their potato salad to go... because it's great! I can definitely recommend this location for lunch.

    Yes, it's a chain and that's fine with me. Had a combo plate with ribs and pulled pork. Sides were slaw and sweet potato. They include garlic bread as well Every item was delicious, hence the 5 stars. BBQ is a tough business and this area has seen many BBQ restaurants close recently. Support the ones that are still around and have realistic expectations. BBQ is NOT meant to be a gourmet experience, just enjoy the food.

    I miss having a Sonny's close to where I live. So glad to spot this one on my recent visit. Have to say the food was better than I remember and the guy serving me was fantastic. You can really tell a difference when you get an experienced server who enjoys their job and meeting people. Got my go to, half chicken dinner and bake beans and enjoyed every bite. May stop again next month when I am back in the area.

    This is one of Florida's stable BBQ spots. Have been coming here for years. Food: They have several BBQ options and has changed over the years. Some good some just okay. But it is the sauce that really makes this BBQ really good. The meats have great season and great flavor but it the sauces that really make it really great. The baked beans is cooked to the way I like them and the famous garlic bread is what you can't deny. Service: This was a to-go order, therefore I didn't get to really interact with the staff but over the years, they have been really good and willing to assist you for what you need. Overall: If you haven't tried them, I recommend you do and hopefully you will be back for more for them to reopen some of their closed stores.

    Sonny's big deal pulled pork on garlic toast w/ crispy fries!

    Love Sonny's bbq! Plant City needs a new one! We miss you! Love everything I ordered! I love the Big Deal! It's a great deal. Sandwich, side n lg drink! I usually get pulled pork on garlic toast. It was great as usual! I love many side, today I got ff's. Sometimes I get okra or mac/chz. But I recommend anything on the menu!

    Not sure what's up with Gerard leaving a bad review for a closed brick and mortar location…read more They're still open for catering and Saturday morning market when it's open. Love the bbq here! The best ribs I've ever had. I even got a slab for the 4th of July and all my friends loved them as well. The brick and mortar was never in a bad location not was anyone rude that worked there and it certainly wasn't a dive. The owner worked very hard to remodel the restaurant and made it very nice and a perfect atmosphere for food, music, trivia etc. Unfortunately covid forced the brick and mortar to close but I still stall their bbq. Don't overlook the smoked salmon either! It sells quickly cause it's sooooo good. I love that you have your choice of pita bread and not the basic garlic toast you get everywhere. Trust me, be a stalker too! It's the one time it's socially acceptable!

    Why 4 stars? Because the sides were better than the meat, overall…read more --- --- --- I've had MNM on my radar for a while now, but I just don't get to St. Pete as much as I used to. But now, having a one-year old, it's actually kind of nice to have something to do like drive to St. Pete for a meal because it's something to shake up the normal routine. And if I've learned anything about one-year old's, they do not like the same old, same old. MNM has the vibes of an old school bar that hasn't been renovated in decades. It's dark and smells of cheap beer. It was kind of charming in a way, because it's been so long since we've been to a place like that. My wife and I both ordered a two-meat + two-sides plate so that we could share a bunch of things. I'll rate each of those: Brisket: 3.5 stars. Ribs: 1.5 stars. Tendons all throughout every bite made them almost impossible to eat. Pulled Pork: 3.5 stars. Pulled Chicken: 5-stars. Easily the best meat we ordered, and normally I'm not really a fan of ordering chicken at a BBQ restaurant. Baked Beans: 4.5-stars. Definitely not just your standard baked beans. Potato Salad: 4-stars. Ditto to above. Twice Baked Potato: 5-stars. Possibly the most delicious overall item. My wife certainly thought so. Bacon Mac-n-Cheese: 5-stars. Also, a must-have. And we really liked the option of choosing garlic pita for our bread. That was definitely a unique touch. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. I'm glad to see the culinary scene of St. Pete expand a bit north of downtown.
