    Pulled pork
    Stephanie M.

    So so experience at Sonny's. The food came out quick but it was cold. And it was sad to see that with the remodel there is no longer a salad bar. The waitress was great but they seemed short staffed as she had almost the entire restaurant as her section.

    This is the (sharp) bone that I took out on my mouth.

    My husband and I went to Sonnys in Zephyrhills today. I ordered a chicken sandwich with a sweet pototo. The potato was 5 inches and 1/3 of it was hard as a rock. I sent it back and asked for coleslaw instead. As I was halfway through the sandwich, a bone was suddenly in my mouth. I was so freaked out I could not eat anymore of the sandwich. The coleslaw was fine. Our server was a lovely girl and felt really bad about my experience I told her that this was not her fault. We tipped her over 20%. I may not ever go back.

    We had d7g into there stack

    Good barbecue. I got a cornbread coleslaw stack with smoked pork and wonderful little fried onions. The service was quick. The atmosphere was casual and enjoyable. I'll be back :)

    Lulu McDaniels is the best waitress that you have Sonny's, Every time I come here, I get five Star Service, no matter what I get she always makes sure that I get what I order, and always coming back to check on me to see if I need anything else and to make sure my drink is full, you cannot ask for a better waitress than this I always tip 25% or more because the service is so excellent.

    Sonys has rebranded for the better which is evident at this location. They added a nice bar area and the furnishings are nice. Food was great as well.

    Sampler the amount of brisket I received is definitely not worth ever coming back to this place again about the size of a half dollar

    When I look at the menu item picture shows a nice amount of brisket when I get it from your kitchen it looks like for burnt ends so the manager tells me it's goes by weight and then you should take the pictures off your menu and it doesn't look anything like your menu

    Corn nuggets (without powdered sugar)

    This is the first Sonny's I have ever been to that looked different from their standard model. It's quite large and even has a large waiting area. It had just opened when we arrived, but was filling up fast. I did take a peek around at the place, just because I've been eating at Sonny's my whole life and this was just so different than any other's. It was very clean, including the bathrooms. The salad bar looked quite nice and proved to be popular with the customers. Since this was my mom's choice of restaurant, she insisted that we order the corn nuggets as an appetizer. Luckily, I read the menu first that said they came topped with powdered sugar. (WHAT?) We asked the waitress, a lovely young lady, who said they could omit that thankfully and she substituted a side of ranch instead. They came out promptly, piping hot and delicious. Mom ordered the Sweet Carolina Sandwich with Baked Beans. She also ordered a side of French Fries. She took half of everything home, her eyes are bigger than her stomach - plus the serving sizes are really quite large. She enjoyed it all. I ordered the Smokin' Gun Sandwich with a Baked Potato. The Smokin' Gun is brisket, cheddar jalapeño sausage, red onion and banana pepper with mustard bbq sauce on a bun. It was delicious, but kind of stingy on the mustard sauce, so when I looked for more, I noticed that was the ONLY flavor they did not keep on the tables. I had to ask our waitress for some. They didn't even keep it in bottles, only in condiment packets. (I guess we are too far south for mustard bbq sauce to be popular or something.) nevertheless, I really enjoyed the sandwich, more than I thought I would. The baked potato was cooked perfectly, with margarine spread and sour cream served in packets in a dish on the side. Anyways, the meal was great, as was the service.

    Always great baby back ribs! The Sonnys amber beer is a good pairing with the ribs. The service is always great!

    Good BBQ. Especially for a chain restaurant. I don't usually like baked beans but there's was pretty good.
