      You can feel the smell of smoke as soon as you come in! There might be s line when you get there around lunch time but it is worth it! This is a good BBQ place for sure. Everything I tried was really good - ribs, mac and cheese, pulled pork, brisket and even a garlic bread!

      Alcohol yes. Hush puppies no.

      Food, 5/10.
      Pulled pork - 1/10. Terrible...absolute trash.

      Ribs - 6/10. Not bad but nothing great.

      Chicken- 7/10. Best part was the chicken from the sampler and it still had some red spots. That should tell you enough.

      Brisket- 5/10. Nothing special.

      Brisket grilled cheese - 5/10 nothing special.

      Corn nuggets- 7/10. Better than expected.

      Kids hotdog- 2/10. Terrible.

      Chicken tenders - 2/10. Trash. Cooked in old used grease.

      This is like fast food bbq. If cookout is a 2/10, this place is a 5/10. Build looks from the outside is nice and attractive but get inside and it's a fast food joint that isn't fast.

      Won't be going back.

      Visiting from Jersey, hotel not far from here, and decided to stop for dinner, and everything was very good. My fish was fried and seasoned to perfection. My bf was pleased with what he had ordered. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive despite doing double duty with waiting tables and taking care of the bar. I would return if I was in the area.

      Would definitely come back! Meat is delicious and NOT dry with a ton of options! Easy cheap meal and the staff is great!

      Not sure if what I saw on the outside is a drive-thru, but my boyfriend and I went in to sit down. Upon walking in, there is a hostess stand to your right and a to-go/pick up window straight ahead. I asked for a booth but was told no, and we were seated in the back corner of the restaurant, passing multiple empty booths...kinda disappointing, BUT I will say being in the corner did NOT effect service like I had anticipated!

      My boyfriend got the 2 meat plate (chicken and brisket) I got one of the bowls! He selected the beans, slaw and toast - all incredible options!

      I selected the Classic BBQ Bowl, but subbed the onion straws for bacon bits.

      Service and food were both quick! Would definitely come back!

      So, went to Sonny's BBQ for my birthday dinner. I go to Sonny's once a year for my birthday and get the all you can eat sliced pork. Their sliced pork is amazing. It's my once a year guilty pleasure. So I look at the menu and don't see it. I asked the waitress if they still had it and she said "not on the weekends, only during the week". Huh? What the hell. She said you will have to order the 2 or 3 meat combo and just double up on the sliced pork. I said ok, I'll need another minute please. She replied sarcastically, ok I'll be here all night and she stormed off. So she comes back and I order the combo with Sliced pork and the 1/4 smoked chicken. She brings it out and it's Sliced pork and pulled chicken. I tell it's wrong and she says "well, that's what you ordered". I said no, it's not, I told you Sliced pork and 1/4 chicken. My wife heard me order and she backed me up on it. So the waitress gets huffy and grabs the plate and stomps off. A few minutes later she brings me the 1/4 chicken and Pulled pork. I said, what the hell, this is not what I ordered. She argues with me "well that is exactly what you just told me you wanted". At this point I'm pissed. I said get me your manager. A different girl comes over and says I understand that there is a problem. So I explain the whole situation to her and tell her I'm ready to send everything back and you can keep it, we'll go somewhere else. She says "well let me get another manager". Clearly she was just another waitress trying to keep her friend from getting in trouble. I ask her why do you need another manager? She says "well, we don't want you to leave unhappy". At this point I'm done. I told her, your a manager, I gave you the problem now you own the problem, fix it. She starts humming and hawing and I finally just say take the whole thing away and we're out of here. I also told her that they need to do a better job training their waitresses. On the way to the door we pass her holding the 2 plates and talking to the "real" manager. He looks at me and says have a good day now. No apologies, nothing. I turn and tell him that he needs to train his waitresses and that he needs to do better and we left. I will never set foot in that Sonny's again.

      One of the best bbq places I've been to. We try to go once a year and it never disappoints! We order the family meal (not on menu for dine in) and its about $60 and can feed 6 people, maybe 8. We always have a lot of left over. The corn bread is so good. The teas are always freshly brewed. The service is fantastic! Our last waitress (blood lady) was one of the best waitresses I've ever had. So attentive and knew exactly what you needed and was very quick! The restaurant is always clean and roomy.
      No pics this time since we devoured the food. I wish i would've ordered a to go meal before leaving the area!
