Sonny's Fried Chicken & Burgers is a treat.
Hidden inside the John Curtin Hotel with beaming red neon lights, it's easy to miss Sonny, if you're not looking for it. It's dark and ambient, perfect setting to jump in mouth first at the deliciousness on the menu.
We ordered the white meat breast crispy fried chicken, loaded fries with cheese sauce, gravy and crispy bacon, super creamy mac 'n' cheese with macaroni American and provolone cheese sauce with crispy breadcrumbs and Sonny's burger with spicy deep-fried chicken, zesty slaw and mayo.
This was a lot of food, but we wanted to try the usual suspects.
I couldn't fault the crispy fried chicken, they do it well. Tasty, crispy, juicy and had lust written all over it. The loaded fries were also worth the dip, tasty and loaded with sauce, but please take note chicken lovers, your burgers come with fries too, so don't overdo it on the fries son! The mac 'n' cheese was a surprise, they weren't dry and dull like most places these days, so if you're a fan of the good old mac 'n' cheese classic, you're in for some happy times.
The Sonny's burger was the real star. It's fresh, doesn't make you sleepy and completely satisfies you because it's a chicken burger done right. Perfect amount of sauce, tender chicken, right amount of crunch and it doesn't do too much that it overwhelms you. That's what I want from a chicken burger.
You must order at the bar, make note, it's not table service, and the wait time can be long, however, the staff were friendly and accommodating.
If you love KFC, then I highly recommend Sonny's Fried Chicken & Burgers, it's the next level, which means, it costs more. If I had to be critical, the chicken pieces and loaded fries are on the expensive side, but if you're rolling in the money, don't be shy, just go for it!
One of the most enjoyable crispy chicken wonders that we have dined in, one of those places that you wished you had two stomachs for.
