Sonny’s BBQ

Probably the toughest and smokiest pulled pork ever! Cole slaw was excellent, but I go to Sonnys for the pulled pork.

We were pleasantly surprised with this BBQ chain restaurant on our recent trip to Florida. Our family actually ate at this location and also near Miami in Florida City. The quality of the food and service was quite good. We especially like the selection of sides, many of which were of the healthy variety! Highly recommend Sonny’s if you are in the area, or need an efficient stop en route to your vacation destination.

I am not 100 percent sure this is the Sonny’s we actually visited. We stopped in on our trip from Orlando to Nashville. I remember seeing the billboard, we were somewhere south of Macon and we were hungry. After viewing the map of all the restaurants and judging by this location’s proximity to both Macon and I-​75, I am «fairly» certain this is the right one.
Anyway, the bottom line is that the food and service here were both great. I remember getting takeout from the location in Cape Canaveral about four years ago and really enjoying it. Despite that fact, I was a little apprehensive because it is technically a chain and considering the amount of BBQ I have consumed over the years, I expected to be disappointed.
No need to worry. We ordered the Family Feast for the four of us, under the assumption we may have some leftovers to take with us. I’ll say! We barely finished half of the aptly-​named Feast. The portions were huge and everything was well-​prepared.
My favorite was the brisket. It was very tender, full of flavor and not overly-​smokey as some brisket is. The ribs and pulled pork were almost as good. My only complaint was that the chicken was a little dry. Overcooked, I think. But still tasty and my boys liked it.
The sides were all great. We tried the baked beans, corn on the cob, crinkle fries, garlic bread and cornbread. Everything was fresh and hot and the portions on the sides were also huge. The sweet tea was also some of the best I have ever had and again a huge portion.
For flavor, attentive, yet relaxed service and excellent value, I highly recommend one of the many Sonny’s BBQ restaurants throughout Florida and Georgia.

The service was spectacular and I thank Taylor for that. Can’t say enough good about her, but food was mediocre. I ordered the sampler to get variety and the ribs were a bit dry. The chicken was cooked perfectly but not big flavour. The brisket was a bit dry. The thin sliced smoked beef was by far the best and if I can back. I’d order it and only it. It was nicely smoked and moist n full of flavour. Mac n cheese was below average and fries were well good fries. Nothing bad to say but not gonna knock your socks off.

Our server Quiency was Excellent–
Food was great– I got the beef brisket sandwich– cooked properly– everybody in my party of four were Moore than satisfied–
I recommend this location–

Average, probably better if you get it to go. The Website leads you to believe it could be exceptional, but until then it’s average:(

We went to this Sonny’s once about 3 months ago and got really good food and service. Have been back twice more recently, and it was completely different. Food was mediocre to bad, service was just okay (at best) and on the last visit, the place smelled like soured mop water. I don’t know if there was a management change or what between our first visit and the more recent ones, but I don’t think we’ll be going back anytime soon if ever.

I have been going to this Sonny’s for years it is the best one I know for ribs and chicken. Specially loves the all you can eat ribs or chicken. Love it.

Sweet! First timer. Was on a long trip home & needed a fast place a few steps above. McD’s. lived the sweet ribs, hot cinnamon apples, descent salad bar. A lot of tasty food for the price.
Manager & staff were very nice.

It was good. Our waitress was very good. The drinks were served in huge glasses, which in my book is a plus. The food was up quick. We had the feast for four. It is served family style. Plenty of food.

Yummy BBQ on the run! I was on my way back from Florida and craving some late night grub… I had decided to drive through the night so BBQ seemed like a good comfort food. I ordered the Southern Style BBQ platter with pulled brisket. It was really good. I just wish they put the sauce directly on the food rather than give you little packets. Those became a pain in the car. And yes. I know normal people don’t eat BBQ in the car, but I had my dog and was willing to make the sacrifice.
The Southern Style BBQ Platter comes with corn bread (so yummy that the pooch decided to steal it!) and two sides. Of course I picked the Mac and Cheese and for dessert the cinnamon apples.
The people working were so nice they even gave me a to go bowl of ice water for my dog! I will be stopping by again on my next trip to Florida!

Not bad. Good service, food is ok. Good menu and good prices. It won’t change your life but it’s not a bad option when traveling. I’ve been spoiled on Memphis & and KC BBQ, so my remembrance of Sonny’s is, «I think I ate there once…»

Very helpful! We’re traveling and forgot to buy some BBQ sauce. It was still early. I called and they were willing to sell us some even though they weren’t open!
