Banquet burgers were great the patty seemed larger than a quarter pounder, bacon was generous. Regular size fries, more than enough for two. Nice to have actual charcoal grilled burgers. I read some reviews that claimed they only accept cash NOT SO, I used my credit card, no problem. I highly recommend Sonny's. May 2026. read more

Cash only. Burgers are made to order. Once you place your order, your burger is cooked then you tell 'em what you want as your toppings. I had a veggie burger with everything on it. It definitely had a home made feel to it. 4/5 due to cash only. read more

This food is great and it tastes very good and it is yummy and it makes me full. this place has great service and is awesome expeirience I would definitely come back and I recommend read more

Wanted to try this burger place for a long time and I'm glad I finally did. The service was very friendly and helped me order the most popular items on the menu. Burger- their burger was charcoal broiled and you could taste the unique flavour immediately as you bite into the burger. They had a variety of toppings as well and I highly recommend getting the caramelized onions; such a great combination with the charcoal flavour! Poutine- a huge portion for what I paid for. Fries were made fresh and the gravy complimented the cheese. The only downside is that they did not use cheese curds but overall the flavours meshed very well together. Highly recommend coming here for the charcoal broiled burgers and I will definitely be back! read more

Man this place has amazing charcoal grilled burgers, the best in Brampton! Highly recommend and love the old school style. Looks like something from the 90's read more

My wife ordered a chicken wrap and I ordered a hamburger. Both items were nasty and soggy and tasted horrible. The wrap had the same sautéed veggies basically just green peppers and onions and some kind of sauce. We threw the food away and ordered pizza.Ever since the new owners the food is nothing like before with the other owners, nothing like years ago. I wouldn't feed a dead dog with that food,never again !!! read more

We had the bacon burger, double banquet burger, jumbo hot dog, and fries and onion rings combo. It was fantastic! Big portions, so come hungry. Personally, don't forget to ask for salt (I like my fries saltier) . Note: it is cash only. read more

If you're anywhere nearby, Sonny's is Brampton's best old-school charcoal-broiled burger joint! Fresh cut fries, real onion rings, charbroiled cheeseburgers, just great nostalgic food that is slowly disappearing. Think Real McCoy, Golden Star, Burger Shack, etc. and you get it. Good stuff. read more

Don't add cheese and dairy to burgers that don't ask for it. Duh. Wasted so money and time here.

Really nice spot for some fast-food priced food that tastes, well, much better than fast food. Taste wasn't out of this world or anything, but very good. Definitely going to come again. It's also open till 4am, which is awesome. Couple notes: - they only accept cash - there's nowhere to sit indoors - it can get crowded depending on the day/time read more

Ordered via SkiptheDishes for pickup and was surprised how fast my order was ready! Ordered the banquet burger and poutine. To my surprise the poutine is extremely large! Everything is super tasty my go to for diner food in Brampton. Love the banquet burger and the poutine is huge. Usually order for pickup via skipthedishes. read more

Excellent burgers and onion rings; fresh toppings and friendly service. The ambiance is old-school diner drive-in. The only thing missing is the roller girls. The corporate fast-food joints have nothing on this historic eatery! read more

This is my burger and frings location whenever I am in Brampton. I lived in Heart Lake years ago and moved in the early 90's back to Mississauga. This location never fails and on rare occasions, I will make the trip to Brampton for my favourite burger joint. Unlike Harvey's and Five Guys, which are my alternatives, the burgers at Sonny's are just delicious! And the Frings combo and a side a gravy, yep, that's all I need. The only down side is you need cash or debit. read more

Hello fellow foodies, today I bring you a review that is long overdue, I been eating at this place for at least the last 15 years or so ,  this place is as old as Brampton and a real landmark , been around since I was a teenager.  This place is just like Johnnys in Scarborough but the Brampton version same type of greasy late night food you crave after a hangover or after a club night or party .They  been  around serving the community  forever  since  1965  apparently. If you're looking for quality this is not the place for you, if you looking for fancy  this is also not for you , but if you're looking for a quick late  night drive in or some great  hungover food then this  is the place.  They have very large portion sizes, specially their fries /poutines and onion rings , There burgers are not small about  average size frozen patties thrown on the char-broil . If you're looking for that burger that tastes exactly like the frozen patties you throw on your home BBQ then Sonny's are identical taste and flavor. The serve hotdogs, souvlaki, fish and chips, pitas and steak sandwiches which I opted for today with some grilled onions and  BBQ sauce. Their prices however are very reasonable and have always been! Bonus points for that. 4/5  I  am  giving  this place a  very generous rating only because they  deserve it being such a Brampton landmark, I mean the quality of their ingredients are average at best probably 2.5/5 in reality, nothing extraordinaire, meaning they use frozen  meats  poor  quality products for the most part not  all etc ...Their toppings however have always been fresh in my experience no complaints there,  but you have to give them credit for having great  prices and great  greasy late-night  drive-in  food since 1965, and some of their items are actually pretty good ,  specially their fresh cut fries/poutine/onion rings and burgers  are decent and you could never go wrong with their souvlaki if you have that late night craving. My sandwich today  was decent a  very thin cut steak  grilled  nicely ,  definitely had the flame grilled flavor the grilled onions  were really nice , the bun  is that gluey type sticky not so great at all  same one they  use on their burgers , but edible under rare circumstances, lol. I have had probably everything on the menu at the is place over the years, I don't think I ever had a complaint  but I was also not impressed either it's just  that kinda food , its good  at the right moment and that's about all you're going to get. Service 5/5 I have been to this place, easily over 50  times in the past years and I can't recall a moment even during a late night rush were service was not great , fast and friendly . read more

Sonny's Drive In - Steak sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Sometimes Sonny's gets a little busy so as I was waiting outside (due to a limit of 5 customers inside due to social distancing) another gentlemen remarked: "they still only take cash? I guess that's why they've been open for so many years. Everyone pays their bill!". To others I describe Sonny's as a step up from Harvey's. They charcoal broil their burgers (and hot dogs). It's a no frills place. Not a lot of toppings but the toppings they do have are fresh. The service is quick and friendly. I go here for burgers and fries (and sometimes poutine). I've never been disappointed. My only gripe is that it isn't cheap. A double cheeseburger, a single cheeseburger, 2 orders of fries and 2 gravies will set you back a number approaching $30. I keep going back so it must be worth it in my mind. I truly wish that more simple, non-franchise burger joints like this existed. It harkens back to a simpler time. read more

I love sonnys poutine! I order it whenever I get the chance. Although it's not the more traditional cheese curds it's shredded cheese it's honestly so good I don't even care. The portions are huge and the prices are even better. The poutine is so huge it's filling enough to be a whole meal. read more

I Had the Banquet burger and Onion rings. Excellent for the price and what I was getting. I asked for a homemade and the server was quite honest by saying that it was a frozen patty. I would definitely come back. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Seating available only outside. read more

Sonny's Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

I always passed this place and never tried it, as I always put it in my bucket list. Yesterday I went there in late evening at 9pm and was the only car. I asked the young kid with lots of ink, on what the most common burger, he recommended the Banquet Burger, as it's the most ordered item. It came up to $9.75 with 2 cans of Coke, including tax. The patties were undercooked, the burger was just all over the place; I kid you guys not it was the WORST burger ever. The young kid with tattoos doesn't even wear plastic gloves, when handling the burger, the West Indian cook making the fries is wiping his nose, very unsanitary, disgusting, go if you want food poisoning, in which today I took the day off. read more

I once loved this place but every year the food and service get worse. they only take cash most likely to avoid paying their share of taxes . I am no longer a fan for the simple fact that I can get a better experience and food else where, read more

I feel that this beat Johnny's Burger in Scarborough. Yea, I said it! haha. The Burgers are bigger, more variety on their menu, and they offer a deadly Poutine! I've brought some and suggested this diner hangout to some friends and people have mixed reviews about the Poutine. First off, they don't have cheese curds, but cheese strings. Personally I feel it covers more. Another thing that's a plus... No matter how deep you go in the poutine, the fries are always CRISPY!! The proportions are great! Not stingee and filling! The prices, I guess are pretty average these days. Under $12 for a Banquet Burger, poutine and bottled drink. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND... - Poutine read more

Although it was my friend who got take out from here tonight, I've had it a million times, what Brampton'er hasn't.. I have a soft spot for this basic burger joint basically so I'll give it the 4/5 rating, but clearly the burgers are frozen and from a box just like most of their other items including chicken fingers, onion rings, and most of the rest of the menu. That being said, they're open until 4 or 5 AM every night when usually the only other things open are a McDonalds or Wendy's.. Poutine and fresh cut fries are probably the highlight, as those are homemade from scratch and not frozen or commercial sourced like most of the rest of the menu. Every city has one of these places. Like Apache in Etobicoke, Johnny's in Scarborough, Zet's by the Airport, etc. The fact they still refuse to have lettuce after all these years irritates me though, especially with chicken souvlaki or grilled chicken sandwiches on the menu. read more

Sonny's always has a great feeling as soon as you drive into their parking. Friendly staff, amazing food, if you're looking for just an honest, great, simple but everything you need in a burger, this is the place. My usuals are: banquet burger and half & half (fries and onion rings). Love Sonny's! read more

Big burger flame grilled huge order of fries, that's what I get every time I go there. One of the last places to get a real flame-grilled burger and home cut fries, and awesome gravy just the way I remembered a real burger to be forget McDonald and all these fast food places like that with there fake food read more

This place has been around since I was a kid and thats over 40 years ago. Not the same as it used to be. Burger sucks. Fries with gravy sucks. Weird people hanging out in the parking lot. Took one bite of the burger and and fries with gravy and threw it in the rubbish bin. Try if you want but you've been warned. read more

Banquet burger was a good size and cooked to perfection. Fries fared well in the drive back and didn't steam too much (tough not to unless you eat them on site). Cash only so bring your moolah- ATM on site if you need it but there is a surcharge. They've got your 'basic' burger offerings covered but they are anything but basic. Check it out if you are in Brampton- it is a great, classic burger joint (drive in only- no indoor seating) read more

This is a great place if you're craving a burger at 12am in the summer time. Enjoy a burger outside on a breezy night! We got the burger, milkshake, wings and a poutine and really enjoyed the burgers. Price is decent too! I wouldn't recommend the wings as much. There wasn't as much flavour as I expected. Everything else is bomb! Highly recommend the poutine and burger! read more

Sonny's Drive In - Burgers Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

This review is JUST for their Horrible Service. I went in late at night to this sketchy looking place, that looks like they should have an armed Security Officer late at night. It's well lit inside, but outside its dark so you wouldn't be able to read the license plate if there is a shooting. I looked at the menu, not having eaten all day and I was tired. I ask if the "special" which comes with a drink, is a can or comes from the fountain. The guy behind the counter literally says "Can't You read?" The special was only good Tuesday and its wasn't Tuesday. So My fault I guess for not reading closer, and his fault for being a BITTER guy in his late 40's working the graveyard shift in a bad burger joint. They also DO NOT take Credit Cards. So..Bad Service, No Credit Cards, and DARK Parking lot. Enjoy! read more

We were here for dinner last week. The sandwiches we ordered were average and the onion rings to go along with it was freshly prepared. But when it comes to restaurant or any business for that matter, service matters. Cheerful and helpful counter staff who are willing to help would have been better. We also had a hair in the sandwich which was replaced without hesitation. read more

If, and that is probably a big if, knowing what the 'popular' hamburger places serve, you really, really like hamburgers, you can't go wrong with Sonny's. After a long absence (from hamburgers that taste like hamburgers) I dropped in today - double banquet burger - CRISPY bacon, two patties that taste like BEEF, and wow! Heaven for a few minutes. read more

Sonny's Drive In - Great take out place in Brampton Ontario Late night on an Tuesday at 1:20am I recommend the banquet burger with onion rings! - Burgers Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Sonnys is not what it used to be. 1. They changed the fries. The fries where 2nd to none at one time. Now it's just regular fries that every restaurant buys. 2. They changed the famous gravy to the same stuff every other restaurant gets. The original gravy would have people travelling far just to get it. 3. It's a different burger now as well. Not nearly as tasty. Over all I would say skip them it's not the same Sonny's as it was. Very disappointing. read more

Got a craving for a late night snack? Well this is the place to go open late and oh boy their portions well throw you into a food coma! I enjoyed every single bite and there's benches places conveniently outside for you to enjoy your meal hot and fresh as soon as you get it! read more

Best burger joint in Brampton. The burger was grilled to perfection and the poutine was out of control. Portions are very American-esque and the price is great. They also have an expanded menu that I'm looking forward to try in the future. Highly recommend this joint. read more

Would recommend as a great late-night alternative to McDonalds. I order the banquet burger pretty much every time i go and they haven't disappointed me yet! Portion sizes are great too, the one order of fries is easily enough for 2 people. My only complaint is that I would prefer if they wore gloves while handling my burger. I understand they wash their hands often, it's just a pet peeve of mine. read more

This B-town 'landmark' has been held close to my heart since I was a little burger-hungry kid, but I'll try to write a neutral review, now that I'm a grown burger-hungry man. It must be noted that in terms of dining, Brampton mainly sucks the big one. Sure there are a couple of exceptions, but you'll mostly find only chain restaurants around these parts. You just try taking your significant other to a romantic Denny's dinner, I dare you! Anyway, I think this is why I still love Sonny's. It hasn't tried to be anything but what they've always been: quick, cheap late-night food in a pinch for all the drunks and night owls. And at 2:30am, your options are limited to Sonny's, Denny's, and McDonalds. The location sucks, and I really wish that could change. The area is so ghetto, I usually lose my appetite if I drive down Church St. home. Nothing like driving by a 90-year old looking crackhead hooker being jacked by the cops to taint your burger-lust. But anyway. The restaurant doesn't feature any seating (save for a few picnic tables outside). The staff is always friendly, cracking jokes, and serve with a smile. The food itself is way better than it should be for the price. The fries are all homemade, and while I'm not a fan of poutine, it should be noted that Sonny's poutine is tasty for me, and downright orgasmic for regular Poutiners. Their burgers are delicious, the toppings are always fresh, and pretty much everything on the menu is quality. I have yet to try their new chicken wings, but I imagine they won't let me down on that either. Oh, and the crap about the fire changing the quality of their food is just that, crap. For better or worse, nothing has changed. What you see is what you get. read more
