    Already ate like half of it before I thought to take a picture.

    Oh my goodness. This place is amazing!!!!! Tried their pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese and unsweet tea. Also tried their dry rub ribs, sliced pork, baked beans, green beans and corn bread. By far the best BBQ I've ever had. Everything was fresh and juicy. All the sides were homemade. I'm a snob on tea and their tea was wonderful! From OKLAHOMA and I wish we had BBQ like this place. Service was fast and friendly too. Placed our order to go. Had already started eating before I thought to take a picture.

    Smoked wings, 1/4 Chicken Combo.

    Clean and good seating. Delicious BBQ and great service from our server Melanie! The best BBQ I've had in a long time. Try the smoked wings and all the different bbq sauces.

    In the first 25 minutes of our visit I was worried but when the food finally came I was impressed!! The ribs were tender and had a great flavor, the sliced was tender and not a lot of fat. The place is very casual with 4 televisions, all with basketball,

    was promptly greeted by a friendly young man. We were taking to our choice of table, the restaurant appears clean. We were greeted by a waitress who is very polite, friendly and suggested the different types of food shows the beef brisket signature BBQ. I got macaron cheese and okra. My wife got your sweet potato and corn nuggets

    The wife and I at Sonny's BBQ for dinner.

    Excellent food. I had the baby back ribs and the wife had a barbecue salad. Service was outstanding. Place was nice and clean. Only issue I found was that there were no take out menus. There is a drive thru also for pickup.

    Afternoon is a perfect breakfast spot for groups! I took my friends from out of town and they loved…read moreit! The coffee is always amazing; rich in favor with the perfect amount of oat milk. I had a lavender oat milk latte and this might be one of the best coffees in Gainesville. Their pastries are also not to be missed the guava pastry is a favorite of ours. Pros: flaky delicate pastry crust. Excellence balance of cheese to jam. Filling. Would order again! Cons: sticky fingers Cinnamon rolls The frosting is very thick and delightful. It was originally brought out cold and then they warmed it up upon request. The layers were sweet but not overly so. I got the French omelet and the egg was perfectly fluffy. My friends got the whipped feta toast, the veggie breakfast burrito and the breakfast bowl.

I entered the restaurant at 9:15 am with my guest and were seated promptly. Our server proceeded with our drink order in which we requested a vanilla and brown sugar iced latte and lemonade. My vanilla and brown sugar latte was made well and was quite refreshing. The lemonade was a bit sweet but overall a good beverage. However, as our experience continued it became a bit of a let down. We ordered the Dutch baby with seasonal fruit, the big break, a cinnamon roll, and the afternoon hash. From time of placing the order to receiving our food was an overall total of 45 minutes. A bit of a long wait for breakfast/brunch style items. The cinnamon roll was not done well whatsoever, the roll itself was over kneaded which created a thick and heavy dough. Not the fluffy type of cinnamon roll you would expect. When our food did come out the Dutch baby was partly burnt, it did not taste as such but it was a bit flat in regard to taste. The potatoes in the hash and the big break were burnt. I wouldn't consider it crispy because they were so overcooked I could barely get my fork to go through. The taste of the hollandaise did redeem the dish a tad, however for $90 including tip it was not the dining experience I would come back to.

Parking was free and plentiful, and we were seated without a long wait, though we highly recommend making reservations, especially on busy nights. The vibe is low-lit, romantic, and intimate which was perfect for a special occasion. Our waitress was fabulous and very attentive throughout the evening. To start, their "poppers" were absolutely delicious and a fun twist on traditional bread service, especially paired with the incredible blueberry butter. To celebrate, I ordered their Painkiller cocktail, which was smooth, delicious, and hit the spot. I also had the French onion soup, which arrived piping hot with perfectly melted cheese. For our entrées, we ordered the filet, the NY strip, and the rack of lamb, and every dish was excellent. We shared the corn and mashed potatoes, both of which were outstanding. I also loved the artistic touch on the menu check presentation. Overall, we're so happy we chose Prime & Pearl to celebrate our new marriage and will absolutely be returning in the future.

We will definitely be returning and will be asking for Kelly in the future. Exceptional service like hers makes all the difference.
