Southern Pig And Cattle - Ocala

Love the food here!!! Completely yummy. Fantastic BBQ chicken and pulled pork. The corn nuggets are delicious. Our favorite servers are Anna and Jenn. They always wear a smile and make sure we have everything we need. Plus, FREE ice cream for all.

Outstanding Barbecue joint. Everything is so clean and well kept. The salad bar is well stocked with a large, fresh selection. The staff is very friendly. The ribs are the best. Those is a must stop restaurant. Oh, the ice cream cone when you are finished is a great treat.

Decided to stop and try it out, if you have ever been to Sunnys their is not much difference in the two , the staff was polite she returned several times to check on us , we both had half a rack and baked potatoes and garlic bread with a side of corn fritters

Sonny's vs Southern Pig and Cattle What happened to Sonny's? Check your to-go order before you leave! I have been going to Sonny's BBQ in Florida since 1994. Around 2015 I stopped going to Sonny's as I felt the quality of the BBQ had severely diminished. The food did not taste or look home cooked anymore, the food looked and tasted more commercialized. The quality fell to the level of Golden Coral buffet food. Then I discovered Southern Pig Cattle Co. on Maricamp in2020, and I was again, back to tasting wonderful BBQ food. Recently I decided to give Sonny's another go to compare the two. I noticed in recent years the Sonny's franchise has revamped their restaurants, their logo and branding etc. Is itpossible I have caught the Sonny's restaurant on a bad night? The food was sub-standard. It was a Sat night 9pm and they close at 9:30pm. Let me begin with what I ordered. Baby back rib dinner with fries and coleslaw, dry texas toast.Chicken tender dinner with fries and bbq beans, dry texas toast. Big deal sliced pork on a bun with mac n cheese, and a large sweet tea. Ordered and paid using the drive thru, Silver Springs BLVD Ocala FL. I was never asked what sauce Iwanted. So I asked for an assortment including the mustard sauce. So when I arrive home. No coleslaw. The chicken tenders were extremely dry as if they were deep-fried twice, or sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Texas toast is now aslice of thin french bread? No assortment of sauce, I only got sweet sauce. The ribs were not tender at all. The ribs were tough as if they were not cooked very long. I know this sounds hard to believe but they were very hard to pull theribs apart. The ribs were not basted and wet in sauce, at all. (See the photo of the ribs) I called and spoke to Lauren about my missing coleslaw and she said to come in the next time I visit to get my coleslaw. She said they are closingfor the night as it was 9:30pm. I almost want to return the un-eaten food tomorrow. Let them see

This place is new and very clean. Plenty of parking, private parking lot. Inside the place is huge. The food was average barbecue. The sweet tea was average as well. The service was average to above average. The price was kinda high for what you get. The menu has everything you would expect. I recommend this place and I would try it again in the future. Also you have to bring your check to the front to cash out.
