Editorial review from Urbanspoon 11/7/2011

The ribs are not as tender as they should be, but they're not bad, and the flavor is good. Sonny's makes excellent sauce. The side dishes are good, as is the garlic bread. Get the all you can eat special and prepare to die.\r \r Nice waitresses.\r \r Sonny's won't change your life, but you'll get a good meal at a good price. more


Editorial review from Urbanspoon 4/2/2011

Place is OK, foods good but ribs were way too dried. Great BBQ sauce and wings were good too. Prices are not bad at all but expect more for my money. Only other down side is make sure you let the waitress know if you order an appetizer that you want it before the dinner cuz ours didn't seam to know that appetizers come before dinner. more

I always enjoy this place and still often visit. Their meat tastes good and always seems fresh. Good for lunch or dinner. Daily specials. Friendly staff. As far as BBQ is concerned in Florida, this is one of the better ones (and all Sonny's are not created equal). more

I had the sliced beef sandwich and it was awesome. I'm from Texas and we know how to barbecue. That being said I'm very picky, this place satisfied my craving. Like a little slice of home. more

Editorial review from Urbanspoon 9/29/2009

Love this place. Seems like they have had the same wait staff for years. They are always so friendly.\r \r Most of the time I get the sliced pork dinner with Fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw (see pic I know it's dark). Sometimes I will add the salad bar. I love squeezing on tons of the hot (spicy) BBQ sauce. I also get the sliced turkey platter too. Both platters are awesome.\r \r I have been going here for over 20 years and I still love it. Tell them that Dan sent you for the pudding and the cheese cubes at the salad bar and Stay Hungry! more

Good, not great, but good barbecue 3/8/2009

Located in the end of a small shopping center, I've been to Sonny's twice. Once for their dine-in service, and once for their surprising drive-thru service. I'll speak about the dine-in service first.\r \r The dine-in experience was pretty good. The service was average but our waitress did her job well. After being served our drinks, my girlfriend and I could only chuckle at the glass barrels that they give us to drink out of. Now, I'm a big guy, so I'm in NO WAY complaining. I just thought it was quite humorous to be drinking out of something so big. When I went, there was an all-you-can-eat ribs special. For a big guy, that special was just glistening in the light. Needless to say, that's what I ordered. The ribs came out three at a time, which was kinda rediculous in my opinion, but there were 5 different barbecue sauces to choose from, which I loved. The barbecue sauce caddy was similar to iHop's syrup caddy and allowed for experimentation with mixing and other sauce fun. However, the ribs were... basic. That's not to say that they weren't good, but they didn't have the slow-cooked, meat-fall-off-the-bones ribs that you get at some of the more local places.\r \r Though I had a good indoor experience, I think that Sonny's shined in their drive through. Though the food was the same, this service was rediculously fast and one of the best values I have seen for barbecue. For about twenty dollars, there was this huge meal for two: ribs for two, two sides for two (four sides in total), and bread (garlic bread or cornbread) for two. All of the food came out very hot and fresh and we didn't even wait five minutes. I'm still wondering how they delivered food that hot so fast.\r \r Anyways, I would recommend Sonny's for anybody needing their ""fix"" of barbecue. It may not be the best, award-winning barbecue in Florida, but food is good, service is decent, and their drive through is great. Pros: Value, Drive-Thru Cons: N/A more
