We heard they had a power protein plate with 8 oz of pork, smoked turkey or 1/2 chicken with one side and a drink for $10.99. Good deal! I then paid for a side salad...happy luncher I was! read more

We came here while on a training exercise at Camp Blanding and really loved it. The service was fast, courteous and food was excellent! We ended up going twice and got some to-go for the rest of our team. Come here and enjoy the atmosphere while eating great American food or take some with you. It won't disappoint. read more

Haven't been to a Sunny's in years. This one was more modern. Service was excellent. My pulled pork was excellent. My wife said her brisket was good but had a lot of spices and she just said hers was ok. Glad I finally tried this one, I've driven by it hundreds of times just never stopped. I'll be back. read more

I generally like Sonny's, and the food we got was good. But I ordered takeout because we were staying at a nearby hotel, and when I asked for an extra plate and cutlery the girl said they don't provide those. I asked how I was supposed to eat it and she said, with a straight face and touch of arrogance, "well it comes in box, so we don't provide plates or utensils." I guess she thought we would just take turns sticking our heads in the box and slurping it up like pigs at a trough. read more

Sonnys is a chain but they are a chain that started about 20 miles from this spot. All locations are really consistent. This is a huge location. When the parking lot is full you can still get seated without a wait. The service was great here, cleaner than most and an overall good experience. I always get sliced pork. I just like it better than pulled. Juicy and tender. read more

I was visiting with my friend we decided to go to Sonny's for lunch last week. The waitress was awful she couldn't even get our drinks right all we ask for is a coke with no ice and a sweet tea with ice I don't think that was very hard. The restaurant was very very dirty the food when it came out was not Sonny's quality food. When I got my pork sandwich I said to my friend and Harley has any meat on it so I cut in half and then when I opened up this second part I have the only thing that was on there was the skin from the pork butt a big old piece of skin and that's it. I told her when you walk in the Sunny's it usually smells so good this one it smelled dirty and I asked her are you sure you want to eat here and she said oh yeah let's try it out never ever again. As we are getting up from the booth I couldn't even lift my feet up they were stuck to the floor the floor was so dirty and sticky I would think twice before going there to eat. read more

Astonishing Service by Audrey at Sonny's BBQ in Stark, FL! Audrey turned a simple meal into an unforgettable experience. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful--anticipating our needs before we even asked. Her energy lit up the room, and her genuine care made us feel like VIPs. If you're lucky enough to be seated in Audrey's section, you're in for more than just great BBQ--you're in for five-star service. Bravo, Audrey! read more

One of my favorite places to eat. I moved away 23 years ago so I don't get to eat here often. But when I'm in Florida I have to stop. The big deal with sliced pork is fantastic. The service was quick and our waitress was very attentive. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Corn bread - Barbeque Near Me - Starke, Florida

Delicious! The food was terrific here! We shared a platter that had ribs, chicken and pulled pork-it was all great! Included also was garlic bread and cornbread-each was so good! We also enjoyed the baked beans and Coleslaw...and we had a side order of macaroni and cheese-it was amazing! They have 6 kinds of barbecue sauce so you can try them all! Our waitress was fabulous as well! I will note that it is freezing cold inside this restaurant-Ladies-bring a jacket! I noticed the table next to us(military guys wearing camo!) were saying they were cold as well!! So plan accordingly! The food is so good here! That it is worth bringing a jacket! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Starke, Florida

See all

Every time I travel through Starke, we always stopped at the SONNYS on 301 for what was my favorite thing on the Menu - Pulled Pork Salad. Been many times and never had an issue with the service or the food, until my last visit on Sunday 2.8.26. This time I had an out-of-town quest with us - Where she lives there is NO Sonny's! My quest was looking forward to some BBQ and I to my Pulled Pork Salad as I had many times before. The waitress always complied with my special needs. The Pork had to be cooked well and pulled not chopped due to a condition I have with digesting meats. The waitress appeared to have got that - but with an attitude to the point of me being her problem. At that point we were hungry, tired and it was getting late, so we held out for the food. Fries were supposed to be extra crispy instead they were hardly cooked; I took one look at the Salad and immediately knew I could NOT eat this. Not only was the pork undercooked, it was nothing but fat and grizzle. I had to get someone to get our waitress back to the table and you knew she had a bigger attitude than first started. I explained to her I couldn't eat this salad. I showed her it was not fully cooked and the fat and grizzle was unacceptable; the fries were almost raw. Instead of her asking to replace or fix the order she wanted to argue with me and give me a lecture on how the pork can't be cooked any more than what it is, it will always be pink and depending on the cut of the meat there will always be some fat and grizzle, as for the fries she never addressed those being under cooked when asked for extra crispy. My response to that was "This is not acceptable nor eatable especially when I requested it otherwise and I have been here at least once a week in the past 2 months and my order/request was always made right" Actually when the waitress brought me my salad she always asked if it was done right - you did not! Then she made it appear she had to get a manager to take it off the bill - that should not have been debatable nor questionable. Needless to say - It was not the cook! We got up and left and now what was a traditional stop we will just go right past Sonny's and for my quest - she requested we not ever take her there again! I guess we'll be returning to Bono's when we want BBQ! read more

The food was a return to the quality that Sonny's was built on. Had the chicken dinner and the chicken was hot, juicy and had a great smoked flavor. Sides were also good. The servers were working hard to keep up with the rush of people arriving after the football game. When you see them frantically trying to get to every table, you don't mind waiting a little bit. read more

Something like a four. Was so ridiculously cold up in there I actually had to run out and get my coat ...brrr!!! Good for the kitchen bad for the customers. And that parking lot's nuts. I like me some Sonny's, been coming since all-you-can-eat chicken was $6.99! I sure miss the spicy pickles and why you don't have bacon anymore is beyond me. Was my first time in this one. Overall pretty good. read more

Sonny's BBQ - a plate of food on a table - Barbeque Near Me - Starke, Florida

Stopped in for a late lunch at Sonny's while on the road for work. This location was renovated about a year ago so it's very nice inside. Our server Michelle was terrific and was on top of everything we needed. Very good server and also friendly! We got the loaded tater tots as an app. They were good and very filling. We both got BBQ salads. I got mine with brisket and specifically asked for the lean side cut. It came out with very fatty brisket. I showed Michelle and she went and got me some new brisket. The salad was okay. I didn't love it. I also got a sampler platter to go for my significant other and he really enjoyed it. It was enough for him to have later for dinner and I was able to eat a bit too. There was brisket on it and it was better than what I had on my salad at lunch earlier on the day. It tasted very good, The food gets 4 stars. Michelle gets 5 stars! read more

THIS Sonny's is the reason we started eating at Sonny's again. However the food was not at all up to the standard to which they made us accustomed. While everything tasted good, the bread on my sandwich was warmer than the pulled pork and my fries were barely warm. The table was a two seater, but 1/3 of the table was lost to condiments making dining cramped. The waitress was very attentive and friendly- a trademark of this Sonny's wait staff. read more

Rayne was my hostess and was very wonderful. Nothing but smiles and willing to help ! Will definitely come back to just see her

Excellent food and outstanding service. Looking forward to our next visit. We had the bbq salad with grilled chicken and delicious corn bread muffins. read more

We had the best experience with Jolee she was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The red neck egg rolls are the best!

The place was packed when we came at 12:30 so we had about 10 minutes to wait. The food passing by us looked good! I ordered a baked potato, beloved ordered the chopped beef brisket with broccoli and baked beans as his sides. Michelle was our server and she was working hard! How do they carry those huge food-laden trays with one hand? The brisket was moist, tasty, but not hot. The baked beans were delicious with a sweet taste in a slightly spicy sauce. The broccoli was chopped and nicely flavored. My baked potato was just how I like it. If the meat had been hot I would have given 5 stars. Service was excellent. read more

Julie is so consistently well serving. She always makes sure everything is in the bag and made correctly. As I wait at the window for my food I've noticed she puts the same effort into every customer. She makes Sonny's in Starke a top choice of mine whenever I'm at work or in town! - Josh read more

Everything was great. friendly and fast service.. greatfood came out quick hot and correct.

Amazing service and food, my server Savanah knocked it out of the park, couldn't have asked for better!!!

The go to BBQ place if you are in Starke! The food comes out fast and the service is great!

Food was out fast and hot. Drinks never got low. Place was clean and staff was welcoming and warm.

Good service and good food what more do you need? For a chain Sonny's is a good value.

Years of stopping at this location in Starke- now with the new road avoiding the town, it's rare for me to eat in Starke- but we were planning on stopping after about an hour of driving and that's right where Starke is. This was my first time actually eating in- they have a to-go window that I have ordered at and hit the road so many times in the past. I went with my standard- a pulled pork sandwich on the garlic bread with mac-n-cheese as my side. The mac was just ok. The pulled pork was exactly how it should be- moist, flavorful. John got the sliced pork sandwich on garlic bread and a side of green beans and he was very happy with his meal. Service was stellar- our waitress was fast on everything! Sonny's for me has always been fast to get the food out and this visit was exactly that! We were in and out in 30 minutes. Great stop while traveling. 3pmish on a Friday and they were fairly busy too. If you need a bite- this is a good stop! read more

Chain food. Collard green side was good but it is all pre-packaged food from a factory heated up to serve. Other than the collard greens, the rest of the meal was forgettable, high calorie and not very healthy. Very nice wait staff in Starke Florida. read more

We did a curbside for a birthday meal. It was quickly brought to the car. We got it home and the brisket was 2/3rds fat. I could never patronize this place again. I am submitting a picture but it really doesn't do justice to how pathetic the "brisket" was. Hard to imagine that a place could give that type of food to unsuspecting customers. I can only assume they did it knowing we wouldn't see it until we had it home. Regret buying the meal and regret tipping. read more

we had a wonderful lunch at sonnys today. our server was amazing and the manager were also amazing. the food is cooked to perfection.

This place is a meet eaters paradise. The ribs, chicken, and pulled pork are worth the drive. This restaurant is family friendly with a great atmosphere. The dry rub for the ribs has a sweet tangy taste that goes great well with the Smoky flavor. I recommend Sonny's for a casual meal with friends and family to a date night with your special someone. read more

Heard alot about Sonny's , I was disappointed with the ribs ,, they were very dry ! Good potato salad and macaroni cheese !

My wife and I used to get Sonny's take out every week, twice a week for almost two solid years, no exaggeration! The last few months of this we both noticed that the quality of the Ribs began to degrade. The ribs would be so tough, impossible to eat. The last night we ordered from Sonny's in Starke I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, funny thing is, while I was on hold waiting for him I began to hear a Sonny's commercial coming thru. The gentleman in my ear began to explain how Sonny's slow cooks their ribs to perfection and the ribs are falling off the bone. Yeah, ok. What really caused me to call it quits with Sonny's is the fact that the manager this particular night didn't think their too tough to eat ribs was a big deal, and when I let him know we wouldn't be back, ever, he laughed. Bye Sonny's! It's been two years now and we don't miss your sorry tough ribs! read more
