This was the worst meal i've had at Sonny's. We picked up two orders of Baby Back Ribs with sides of baked beans, mac and cheese, corn on the cob, and corn bread from the Sonny's in Brunswick. Both orders of ribs were so overcooked and burnt that they were inedible. It's not just that the sauce was burnt (and it definitely was), but there was hardly any meat left on the bones because it was so overdone. The few strips of meat that were there were too dry to eat. There is absolutely no chance that whoever packed those meals did not know how overdone they were. At $18.99 per order, I feel completely scammed. The corn on the cob was very dry, with no flavor. The only part of the meal that was decent was the corn bread. We will not be going back to this location. If you want a decent Sonny's meal, try the one in St. Mary's! read more

The yummiest BBQ in town. Been here many times throughout my travels, it's one of my favorite stops right off the I-95. Good service, awesome ribs any style you like & good sides selection. Free gigantic soda refills, lemonade, water &/or beer for drinks. Two sections for this place, one is the restaurant & other is food to go. read more

Delicious! Get the sweet smokey ribs, green beans, baked beans, and cornbread!!!! Beat on tap cold and delicious!!! Friendly stAff. Welcoming for brown people even in this small non brown town. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Ribs yum!! Mac Nope. - Barbeque Near Me - Brunswick, Georgia

This is an amazing place to stop while your driving. The brisket platter with the coleslaw is simply to die for. The side of beans pulled pork is great too. As well as the sweet teas are huge! Amazing, I definitely will be back as soon as I come back. read more

Stopped here while coming home from North Carolina for lunch. My wife had the sliced pork and I had the beef brisket. Both were very good and plenty to eat and drink. Service was fast. We would definitely stop here again.

Barbeque done right!! Regardless of which Sonny's location you try, you are going to get decent barbecue. This location is one of the best, and the first decent barbecue available from DC heading South! I'd like their sauces to be better, but the barbeque itself is hard to beat! read more

Excellent quality sliced pork, and the sides were fantastic. Our waitress was extremely sweet (we have three kids with us). Made me remember how good Sonnys barbbq is. read more

Mmmmm good. Okra fried and delicious. House rubbed ribs with garlic bread slaw and sweet potato absolutely out of this world. Meat so tender falls off the bone. The pulled pork is great. Really really tasty. The bbq chicken was a little dry but nothing some bbq sauce couldn't fix. 4 flavors of bbq sauce, each one better the the last. Mild, sweet, sizzling sweet and smokey! You will enjoy this place so don't pass it by. Right off 95 read more

We have spent many hours eating at Sonny's and it is usually hot and delicious. I usually get the chicken and dumpling soup every Sunday. This last time it took us a long time to get a seat and then after thirty minutes we got our food. The meat was cold and had to go back. Overall we spent two hours on a very displeasing meal. Pay the staff a little more to keep your long time customers like us. read more

We ordered take-out from Sonny's while traveling in search for some delicious pit BBQ. I can't review the service from a to go order. However, Sonny's did not live up to our expectation. I ordered the sampler, consisting of ribs, chicken, brisket, and turkey. None of the meat had flavor and everything required some type of sauce. My hubby had the pulled pork sandwich which he did not even finish. This is definitely not BBQ Pit masters material. Truly lacking flavor. On the flip side, the cornbread was AMAZING! (Extra star for cornbread). read more

Sonny's BBQ - Sonny's "the real pit" BBQ. None of the meats have flavor. Although, the cornbread and baked beans were good! - Barbeque Near Me - Brunswick, Georgia

The food was good but the service was the worst I have ever had in my life. The server named Jennifer was absolutely horrible. I will start by asking, what did she do right? The answer nothing. She repeatedly screwed up our order, did not bring out our correct order, failed to bring out our salad plates and brought the food out without ever bringing out our salad plates. Then when it was mentioned to her she finally brought some but we told her to cancel 3 of the 5 we had ordered and she took 4 of the 5. She was asked for refills and she did not ever bring my refills I asked for. I told her that I needed the salad plate I had asked for so I could get some banana pudding from the salad bar and she never brought it to me. She was horrible when it came to attention to detail and taking care of her clients. I will never eat there again based on the service. read more

So where do I start? I love Brisket. I love BBQ. I've had a lot of it. This place is not good. Brisket was dry and flavorless. The ribs were ok I guess, but again, pretty flavorless. Had the bbq beans and they were super sweet, potato salad was flavorless as well. It's like someone came in and said...That's it folks, from now on, our food has no flavor, and that's an order! You see this soap sponge? From now on, that's us! Good service, prices are fine. But I can't do more than 1 star. It's just that bad. read more

The only thing that was not disappointing here was the service. I'm on a road trip to Florida and we saw a sign for Sonny's BBQ on the highway. I've never heard of it before and all the other advertised restaurants were chains and fast food, and I was really wanting some good southern BBQ. This place could not be farther from my expectations. I ordered a side salad, Mac and cheese, and a sweet potato (I'm vegetarian and super happy with sides from a BBQ joint). The Mac and cheese was likely Stouffer's frozen. The potato was ok, I put the cinnamon spread butter on it and it was still pretty flavorless and just greasy. The side salad had mixed greens and some good veggies, no big complaints here. My boyfriend got the smoked turkey sandwich which was just three thick slices of turkey on a bun, standard crinkle cut fries on the side. The tables have a variety of sauces on the table, which seems pretty standard for the area. The water tastes really weird and so did my bf's Coke (because of the ice?). The bathroom also smelled like the water tasted. Pretty gross. I'm not sure if there's a problem with the tap water here but I didn't drink more than a sip of my water. Even though the food was a let down, the service was great so I gave this restaurant 2 stars. read more

Tonight we had the Carry Out Experience. And boy was it great. Called our orders in (4) and was promptly told of our options for sides, placed them and was told would take 15 minutes. Arrived 18 minutes after phoning in our order and watched them bag it up as we walked in. I asked if all sides were there and was assured that they were there. I didn't open to check and promptly took them to my car. Arrived home about 13 minutes later and started unpacking. Lo and behold, all present. The 4 of us started eating and found that all was hot end prepared correctly. Thank you Sonny's for giving us a great dining experience read more

Ok bbq. The red neck egg rolls and corn nuggets are pretty good. Sandwiches are big and portions are generous. Usually isn't too crowded. The staff is very helpful. read more

The most AWFUL Sonny's I've ever been to.. I am giving it one( 1 ) star only because our server "Michelle" was friendly and attentive. The cooks need to go back to culinary school and learn the ABC's of cooking barbecue meats. The manager's poor attitude only compounded a terrible dining experience. Her unprofessional behavior was appalling . AVOID THIS Sonny's location !!!!! .... It's a huge disappointment and they clearly don't care and seem to revel in taking advantage of travelers off the I95. read more

What can I say that anyone who has eaten at a Sonnys doesn't already know? Good bbq, good sauces (sweet is my fave), good portions, and good service. Okay not every Sonnys has good service but this one does. On the weekend, get here early. By 12:30 there are no seats and a line out the door. Which proves my point....good everything. It is right off I-95, southbound turn right, northbound take 2nd exit right past the comfort inn on your right. Tell them Mary sent ya. They'll say who the hell is Mary, but you can tell them anyway. Happy bbq to you. read more

Greasy commercial chain BBQ. Not worth the cash in my book. The sides are good and the toast is toast but I just can't find the pork appealing. Better local businesses that are so much better. Avoid chains when it comes to BBQ. Shop at a mom and pop location or local family owned. read more

One of the absolute worst meals my family and I have ever had. Food dried out and just not good at all. I wouldn't feed this food to my dog.

The food was really good, but our server truly made it special. The young lady was chatty, attentive and made us feel at home. I had the pulled pork sandwich with slaw and it was pretty close to perfect. The only downside for me is that they don't have Tabasco or any spicy sauce They had Frank's but nothing more intense. read more

Shared a lunch platter with my husband. Food was at correct temperature. Service quick and friendly even though the restaurant was busy. Quantity was more than enough!!! Taste was VERY good. The coleslaw and mac & cheese were side dishes that we had and were amazing. The pork barbecue and ribs were perfect. The sauces on the table could satisfy any pallet - Sweet, Smokey , Original, and Sizzling. LOVED the Smokey!! My husband tried the Sweet as well and said it was just as good as the Smokey! This was a second visit. First visit was a quick take out of sandwiches which were fabulous, hence, the second visit, this time inside the restaurant. Price was excellent. Choice between a fast food stop or Sonny's, take the few extra minutes to visit Sonny's. read more

Many an afternoon my amigos and I gorged ourselves on the all-you-can-eat option over at Sonny's. We each choose something different (pork, ribs, chicken, bbq beef) and would just trade off. Sonny's offers several bbq sauces to dip your meat in and all are pretty solid. Top that off with some garlic bread and some beans and you've got a recipe for obesity. Gotta love the South. read more

The service was fantastic the food was fantastic I would deafly recommend this place and every time I come down here I am going to stop to eat here it is really good food . I love the sliced pork sandwich and garlic bread and the server told me you pay three dollars more and you can get all you can eat what a great deal this place is great for families I was here with my wife and seven children . read more

Let's start with the bathroom and the fact that you feel the need to get a tetanus shot after going in there. Around the door stalls are almost black with grime. Our waitress sucked rotten lemons. The woman couldn't be any slower if she was in reverse. Another waiter took pity and gave us some tea. It took her 20 minutes to give the table behind us drinks at all. It would have been one star but the food was very good and could be five stars if they cleaned and fired Brenda. read more

Attempted to eat here yesterday with my husband, son, and toddler daughters, on our way back from Disney. We entered the restaurant and requested a booth with the hostess because it would be easier manage our twins. That request was ignored and we were brought to a table. I then requested 2 high chairs. She repeated my request back to me and walked away. My husband used the restroom and came back to find i was left standing there holding the babies. The waitress came over and took our drink order, while still standing. I looked up to find the hostess doing everything but getting the high chairs while we stood waiting to be able to sit our daughters in the chairs. Our business was obviously not wanted, so we took it elsewhere. Would never stop here on our next trip, or recommend it. Horrible horrible customer service!! read more

We were just passing through on the interstate when I saw the billboard signs. Haven't had Sonny's in a LONG time, so I figured 'Why not?'. Surprisingly good for a chain. The restaurant was clean, but aged. And it was HOT in there. We ate there in the middle of December and sweated our butts off. My 2 year-old had a red face and hair stuck to her forehead. It made us want to hurry our meal just to get some relief. The wait staff was super sweet. I didn't have to ask for anything because our waitress already had it covered and seemed happy to do it. The food was actually pretty tasty. I was honestly surprised. I've learned to expect less than mediocre out of chain restaurants but this one was ok. Of course it lacked that rich smoke flavor with the juiciness you'd expect from a small mom and pop joint. I'd eat there again if we were passing through and I had a hankering. read more

I had the ribs and they were tasty. I would order them again. Service was good and it is close to the interstate.

Another great location. Nice staff and finger licking good BBQ ribs and chicken

I'm a big fan of this place. Eat here at least once a week. Food is great - I always get the charbroiled chicken sandwich. The chicken is always tender and juicy! They also have a great salad bar and the best sweet tea around! read more

This place always messes up your order. Now, that's not so bad if you're eating in, but completely unacceptable for carry out. I've spent my last penny here. read more

Headed home from a week vacation in Florida & were sick of eating the same ol, same ol. We stopped of at Sonny's & we're glad we did! Easy to get to off of 95, great service, very nice people & the BBQ & wings are great! Definitely will make this a must stop next year! read more

Great BBQ. Try Sonny' s sampler plate. Cole slaw is a must! And in my opinion the best.

It may be a chain but this is a pretty good location. I used to hear it was the first Sonny's but I've heard since then that it was not. I don't know why that would matter - but I thought I would share it. It's clean, has good food, good portions, good service, and I like to eat here. read more

Location is right. Fast service. Food was mediocre. I wouldn't come back. We got pulled pork, baby back ribs, salads, fried pickles, pork 3 ways, pulled chicken and fried okra. read more

Left in a food coma. So hungry coming off of I-95. I ordered beef brisket and it was oh so lean and dry as a bone. My buddy had the all you can eat pork. It has hot, moist and pulled. Our server was excellent. Best service moment - To-go waters without asking. read more

Prices are a little high but the food was great. Barbecue was great with nice large portions. I liked the different sauces and the Redneck Egg rolls were nice too. read more

We were visiting the area. We've been to Sonnys all over the southeast and LOVE IT. Today however was THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Hostess was great.... our waitress Lexie was horrible.... right after we sat down a larger family sat down. It was like we then did not exist. We got our drinks.... then got to see them get their drinks, food, and correct food before we got to place our order. We waited and waited, finally a very nice man(manager) brought our food. Mine was wrong, the wrong food. He immediately offered to make it right and brought the corrected food out within 5 minutes, not our waitress that made the mistake. Once here it was the great Sonny's we are used to, but the waitress either had a bad day, was overwhelmed or whatever. We're all human, but you can definitely tell she played to this larger family that was running all over the restaurant , crying, throwing crayons at each other, you name it they did it, as that usually means larger tip.... it just wasn't a good experience. read more

If you're traveling north or south via I-95 make this a good stop. It was really tasty and hit the spot! I had the pulled chicken with Mac'n'cheese while my boyfriend had the sample. Service was quick, friendly, and clean. Both of us where very impressed! Will make sure we make this our regular stop on our route to FL. read more

Check your to go order before leaving. I asked for sauce for my sandwich. When I got to work with my lunch, no sauce. Now I am eating a very dry sandwich. Thanks a lot. read more
