Sonny’s BBQ

Great BBQ!
Check out the sampler when you go. I always make sure I ask for everything boneless though are else you will get some bone in stuff. But you can’t go wrong with sonnys BBQ
Also, it should be mentioned that they will be assisting the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special Olympics of Kentucky this year! What a great business!

Very good! I had the pulled chicken. I really liked it. Ice tea was also great. Nice place to get BBQ.

Sonny’s is one of my favorite places to eat at in Somerset. Don’t let the fact that it’s a regional chain keep you from trying it. They have so many different items and they are all so delicious, I would be hard pressed to pick just one «favorite». I absolutely love the beef brisket and the «Smokin Gun» is a great sandwich. The smoked turkey is also very tasty. And of course the ribs are absolutely delicious!
They have a great selection of items to choose from, ribs, chicken, pork, beef, turkey, sandwiches, burgers, even shrimp. For an appetizer, the red neck egg rolls and fried okra are awesome. You also get a choice of garlic bread or cornbread muffin with your meal. The garlic bread is great but if your getting the brisket, I recommend trying the muffin, it goes together great. They also have the best cole slaw I’ve ever eaten & the mac and cheese is delicious. They make their own bbq sauces from sizzling sweet to smokin, it’s fun to mix and match to create your own personal favorite. I promise you will enjoy coming to this place again & again to try all of the delicious bbq options they offer.
The only reason I gave Sonny’s 4 stars & not 5 is the difference in portions and quality from dining in and the drive thru. I’ve never had a bad experience dining inside. The staff has always been courteous & efficient and the food portions generous & tasty. There has been times when getting take-​out that the quality & portion size were definitely not the same as we got when dining inside. So, if you have the time and choice, definitely dine inside.

Great food, cold beer, and nice atmosphere what else do you need. Try the redneck egg rolls and the BBQ pitmans burger.

On my own on a business trip I had a hankering for some ribs all day. And I wanted to catch the UNC game on a TV.
Luckily Sonny’s was fairly well reviewed and really the only BBQ joint around. So thinking I’d sacrifice the game I was surprised they had a decent bar and TV setup.
I got the Ribs Sampler: combo of baby back and dry rub ribs. Baby backs were SPECTACULAR! Dry rub was good (not great). But the real winner: the just-​a-​touch-​sweet but — oh — so — tastee cornbread muffin. Ah!
Bar staff was average. Called me sweetie. Hate that crap. But she was OK overall.
I’m looking forward to trying the pork next time to see if it meets my standards. Those short ribs sure did.
Price was more than fair for the food, it was hot and a healthy portion.

I don’t usually review restaurants after only one visit, but I had to say something about the «burger» I enjoyed at Sonny’s a couple of weeks ago.
Just visiting the area, I didn’t know that Sonny’s is a regional chain restaurant — in the spirit of honesty, I probably wouldn’t have visited had I known — but I’d have missed out on one seriously decadent and tasty burger and what is (apparently) the best mac ‘n’ cheese in Somerset.
The actual burger patty was the only boring part of my meal — was fine, but needed seasoning (particularly pepper), hence the quotes. The bun, pulled pork, bacon, smoked sausage, onion straws — all combined to a decadent, almost perfect, heart attack-​inducing meal. While the «burger» was awesome, a runny fried egg above the pulled pork and below the bacon /​smoked sausage would have been even more epic… Just sayin’.
Mac and cheese was great — none of the Velveeta Mac and Cheese blah that seems to be standard in this area.
Server was very friendly (I’m fairly sure that she called me «Sweetie» or «Hon» more than most men I dated) and helpful.
Plenty of parking. Set back off of 27, though.

Sonny’s was recommended by my fishing guide who grew up in the area and it didn’t disappoint. If you go, bring your BIG appetite but not your big wallet. We were passing through so we didn’t have any way to take a doggie bag. We stopped for dinner. We ordered two, but one brisket meal was plenty for us two seniors. (Maybe they could add senior portion to their menu?) Food was tasty with the brisket having a crust on it which really added to the flavor. Waitress was great. We asked for a seat in the back where it was a quieter.

I LOVE Sonny’s. Great BBQ I had the sliced pork and sweet tea, my 7 year old little girl had the ribs and lemonade. All the employees were very helpful and Grace our waitress was wonderful, she really treated my little girl like a princess. Thumbs up for Sonny’s in Somerset!

The food was outstanding. I had picked out the beef brisket, 2 sides and garlic bread from the menu yesterday for lunch and was going to pay $ 11.99 but was surprised to find out they had the lunch price at $ 7.99. yay. It was so much food as you can imagine. The brisket was great and the macaroni and cheese was great. The sweet baked potato was by far the best I’ve ever had. Where they lacked was service. Our waitress was not very attentive. I asked for a BIG to go box and she brought back one big enough to put half my food in so when she finally came back I asked for another. It was just like pulling teeth trying to get her attention. She didn’t ask how we wanted our check so, of course, she had it all together. Just brush up the service and this place will be five stars.

Stopped in for a quick lunch after a doctor’s appointment in town. Sonny’s has always been one of those «guilty pleasures» when in Somerset and has never failed to satisfy my «quick BBQ» appetite. I had the Super Combo for lunch which featured pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs and a couple of pieces of smoked chicken, along w/​sweet potato and cole slaw. I enjoyed every bite and it was well worth the $ 15 or $ 16 tab.
Quick, no holds barred, BBQ.
Smokin’ good!

Hold the SALT. For a chain restaurant… Not terrible but I think they dusted salt on and in everything. My freaking broccoli was like a salt lick. Who does that to Broccoli? Whatever, anyways… This is a fun time if you’re into watching people. Good selection of interesting people in there. The fact that they can serve up all you can eat ribs for under 15 bucks is insane. I was starving. Don’t judge me. And I was with a crowd. What can ya do? The servers were alright and didn’t bitch when I returned my broccoli twice just to try to get one batch that wasn’t salted s I could get my veg on.
