My brother, sister and I visited here for a late lunch.My brother ordered a pound of sweet wings, (they aren't sold by 10, 20, ... anymore), baked potato and a side of 3 slices of garlic bread. My sister ordered a lunch special with a sliced pork sandwich, French fries and a drink. I ordered a beef brisket plate. It came with garlic bread and 2 sides. I ordered a baked potato and Cole slaw.Everyone thoroughly enjoyed every bite of their meal! Everything was cooked perfectly.My only complaint, in jest, was that I didn't get enough brisket.(I knew how much I would get before I ordered but this was just so good!)Our server, Amber, was exceptional in getting all of our orders correct even though she didn't write anything down AND she stopped by another table on her way to the kitchen to place the order. She regularly, without being a pest, checked back with us to see if we needed anything.I have to say of all the Sonny's that I have visited over the years, this location surpassed them all in quality of food, service, and cleanliness.

Had the sampler. Very delicious food at a affordable price. Highly recommend. Did have to ask for a spoon ? though.

We have eaten at a lot of Sonny’s. This is by far the best ever. Food was hot, delicious and the portions were the biggest we have seen ever. You guys rock. Wish more were like you. We will stop in again on our way through.

Stop rushing out food that's not fully cooked! This is the second time I've been to this location, each time the wings and ribs were under cooked! They forgot my garlic bread which I ls the best they have to offer! I'll stick with the st.pete locations!

Came in around lunchtime and the Sunday rush came in. Our server wasn't very attentive but the manager did such a great job. She ran the window and took care of all the guests. She definitely needs a promotion! She has red hair, wish I got her name.

I placed an order through Uber eats. They sent me a coke instead of sweet tea, They only sent a small container of bbq sauce that was only enough for 1/4 of the sliced pork.

It was great. First time taking the girlfriend there and she loved it. Food was served hot and tasted fresh. Server was really nice. WAY better than other BBQ places around.

The worst experience ever. I went to the drive thru and they didn't have ribs or pull pork available. So I had to leave the place without food. But the worst was that I has 3 cars I front of me and none of us moved for over 30min. I had to call the place and ask for a manager for them to move the line and they just said that they were busy inside. The worst experience ever I my life. My son was starving and asking me to leave and I couldn't move. I won't never recomend this place at least not for drive thru. It was my second bad experience thete and for.sure the last one.

Stopped in to pickup food for dinner. Horrible meal..Will never go again. It's like they had no care of what they served. Fries were old and half done no flavor or seasoning. Also meat was so dry even after smothering it in bbq sauce. This should not be considered BBQ.

They were out of all you can eat ribs and out of pulled pork. Which we were told when we came in. They were out of silverware and we were issued plastic. I had a ceasar salad with brisket on it. They gave the chopped brisket which was supposed to be "marbled" but it had big pieces of fat in it which should have been trimmed off. It's a local flavor I guess. My wife had sliced brisket which was very good. We probably just hit them on a bad night and they were trying to cope with shortages and covid issues. The labels were worn off of the sauces. It is overdue to replace the containers. They should have a card at the table explaining the sauce flavors.
