What Mack Goldner doesn't like about Sonny's Bar B Q:
I truly am grateful for this location so close to my home and with the convenient drive-thru. But the turkey I received on Easter Sunday smelled old and tasted old. I couldn't eat it. Maybe it had been previously cooked, refrigerated, then reheated and served. Or maybe it just sat out in the open for too long. I'm sure Easter was crazy busy. I just hope the management is paying attention to the quality of the food. A... View all feedback. What Kym Ursi likes about Sonny's Bar B Q:
Seems as though the portions have gotten smaller. The sides are served in smaller dishes. Our server even though she wrote down our order did not get it right. Green beans were served nstead of baked beans, missing a lemonade on take out we had ordered as well. View all feedback.

Sonny's, a BBQ favorite for many, is known for its consistent food quality and large portions, making it a top choice for lunch or dinner. While some have noted minor issues such as dry brisket or less than stellar sides, the overall dining experience is positive due to friendly staff members and tasty menu options like okra and green beans. Guests appreciate the variety of sauces available and the quick service, whether dining in or going through the convenient drive-thru. While there are some suggestions for improvement, like offering regular baked potatoes and maintaining the quality of certain sides, overall Sonny's receives praise for its delicious pulled pork and comfortable atmosphere, keeping customers coming back for more.
