Pulled Pork Lunch
Paige D.

The service was quick and very polite. For a Saturday lunch rush the food came out very quickly. The food was great and the prices even better. For a family of 2 the total cost was only $26 dollars before tip. I also liked the fact there were 4 different sauces to choose from and not just a standard sauce. I really liked this place.

Where do I start?!? Yes this is a chain but man, it's amazing! From just walking in and smelling the smoke smell one knows it's going to be good! The tables and seats (both) were nice and clean - plenty of paper towels for all your BBQ needs. The food is great! I've never had anything less than yum! Initially I was meaning to leave this for the Merritt island Sonny's BBQ that I was at two weeks back-however the last time I was in the Clinton Sonny's I had no complaints either.

Patrons y'all don't leave a bad review now or Sonny's BBQ will do the following. Here are the things the local SONNYS BBQ in Clinton,MS will do in order to maintain relevancy. 1. Remove your review without consent bc they can as the company controls the information that can be seen. SONNYS BBQ DELETED MY PREVIOUS REVIEW FROM YESTERDAY 1/18/25 posted at 5pm. 2. Possibly ban you from their locations like they did myself yesterday. 3. They will get employees to post a bunch of reviews under false names while giving false narratives. The company even has the employees begging dine in patrons to leave a review. Bottom line is this company will do whatever it desires in order to keep at least a 4.5 rating all while serving up mediocre food with poor customer service.

I like to say Sonny's BBQ, and I go way back. I'm sure this is the one that used to be on Hwy 80 in Jackson during my college days. Now, this isn't my first time at the Clinton location. I came through the drive-thru a few years back when I was in town, and the BBQ was just as good and savory as the old location. But this time, when I was in Clinton, I had to prove to myself that this was the same great BBQ place that was once on Highway 80 in Jackson. So, I went inside to place my order, and I felt right at home with the best greetings of "Hello, how are you doing?" that only Sonny's BBQ knows how to greet or simply just wants to. Also, the inside had the same wood finish and cute signs as the other one I used to go to. It was very clean, like the previous one, too. Now, I think the old location didn't have a bar. This location has a really nice bar. But you know what was the sweetest? I don't know if he was the owner or the manager. He was dressed really nicely, standing by one of the smokers. But this gentleman saw my niece taking pictures, and at the time, when he walked up, she was taking pictures of the smokers. He thought she was on the hunt for a smoker and wanted to help her choose one. My niece told him she was just taking pictures, and he helped her take pictures and went back to doing something with the smokers. So, is this the same Sonny BBQ? I'm 100 percent sure it is!

The staff is really great and attentive. The location is nice and off the highway. The restaurant is clean and ascetically pleasing. I ordered my food to go. The food was a 6.5 out of 10.

Half chicken

Due to the water issues in Byram, I came to Sonny's BBQ for dinner. My first time here since they've opened. There wasn't anyone at the hostess stand so the young lady at the counter was adamant to take my order, so I let her. I kept repeating I wanted to dine in and she nodded like she understood. When the transaction was over, I repeated again I wanted to dine in and she said oh I thought you wanted it to go. I should have known then my visit was about to go downhill, but I stayed. I ordered the half chicken plate with bbq beans and coleslaw. I always loved the garlic bread, so I picked that over cornbread. The chicken was a little bland to me so I had to smother it in sauce to give it some flavor. The beans were decent but the coleslaw, combined with the chicken, led me to believe they were low or out of salt in the kitchen. I know recipes change over time, but the coleslaw was always a highlight for me when they were on 80 but today it was not. I have to admit that my visit was lackluster. I know it's a chain restaurant but it's locally owned so I wanted to like it, but just couldn't.

BBQ with the extended Fam

Called ahead to see if we could make a reservation for a group of 15. They don't take reservations but said they would try to accommodate us as best they could when we arrived. We had to wait about 30 minutes but were able to get seating together. Our server was quick and efficient. I ordered the Pick 2 combo meal with ribs and chicken with potato salad and Cole slaw. The hubby had Ribs, sweet potato, French fries and garlic bread. We had the BBQ Pork Egg Rolls for an appetizer. It was all good,especially the potato salad and the egg rolls. There was a choice of four types of bbq sauce at the table. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Although it was a little loud it was a casual environment. With a group of 15 I'm sure we added to the loudness. It is a good place to meet up with family or friends. The food was worth it and the prices were reasonable.

See that cornbread muffin? JUST the right amount of sweet n MOIST!!

The PROS. THE EGUSI…read moreWAS HOT, SPICEY AND FLAVORFUL. (Although watery, with a super small portion size not equal to to the cost and it did not have a variety of different meats like I'm accustomed to. - this is further explained below.) WONDERFULLY CLEAN SHOP WITH A LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE. The shop was very clean and the owner very hospitable. The restaurant had a very nice environment and immaculately clean restroom. The CONS. SUPER SMALL PORTION SIZE FOR THE COST AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THE PORTION SIZE I RECIEVED SHOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND $8.50 OR $9.00. CERTAINLY NOT $16.70. I feel cheated. I had so many places to spend my money at and I chose this restaurant and although the egusi was good I could have had a much more filling dinner elsewhere for $16.70). I've had Egusi in Atlanta, GA, Dallas, TX, Houston, TX and Memphis, TN and for the same cost you get considerably more (I have pictures. Check out my other reviews). When I picked up the bag it weighed very little. Egusi and Fufu are heavy type of foods. The fact the bag weighed so little was my first clue that the portion size was much smaller than i was use to and it wasn't just the egusi. It was the fufu ball as well. ONLY CHICKEN. NOT A MIXTURE OF MEATS LIKE OTHER AFRICAN RESTAURANTS. The egusi only had one piece of chicken. There was no beef. Or pork. Or Fish. Typically egusi comes with a mixture of meats. This was a disappointment. WATERY EGUSI. I HAD TO POUR SOME OUT. I can't stand watery egusi. Yet that's what I recieved. I had to pour out a substantial amount of liquid. THE FUFU TASTED LIKE IT WAS RANCID. IT WAS GRITTY WITH A STRANGE VINEGARY TASTE THAT WAS EXTREMELY OFF PUTTING. THE SMELL WAS PECULIAR TOO. I COULDN'T EAT IT AND ATE THE EGUSI WITHOUT IT. IT WAS THROWN AWAY. I have no idea what this FuFu was made out of but it was the strangest fufu I've ever eaten. The restaurant owner should really stick to the white fufu which is standard. This fufu tasted awful. Like it was rancid. It smelled weird. It had a vinegar taste to it. I couldn't eat it and ended up throwing it away after a few bites.

Not sure if this is a norm because it was my first time trying it here but the Fufu was gritty and…read morenot smooth. I also ordered the egusi soup with chicken. It was also gritty and the portion was small compared to the price. I usually order from Sambous which is right up the street. I ordered just before closing so maybe that was it but I was not satisfied with this dish. I will be trying something else at a later date. I included a picture from both restaurants as I did eat it from here because I could handle how gritty it felt eating the Fufu and egusi soup.

Took a detour from Vicksburg to eat here on way to Laurel as part of our vacation...Hubby had eaten…read moreat chef's restaurant in Jackson -Walker''s Diner around 2014. Plus found out he was a chef in our backyard here in Roswell, GA too! (Dick & Harry's) We arrived to restaurant & no cars in front...prayed they hadn't sold out...drove in back...but then parked up front...It was Friday around 2:45 in Middle of May. Yeah! The door was open! We walked in & walked right up to the counter! I had already scoured the menu...hubby ordered Brisket, collards & slaw. I had the turkey, corn salad & green beans. At the side counter you can pick your sauces...& pickles & pickled onions. Plus drinks! The unsweet tea was excellent! Hubby loved his brisket & sides. The turkey plus Carolina mustard sauce was the best! Loved the corn salad....it was cold & refreshing & the green beans were great too! We were full. I wanted a t-shirt & the sweet young woman helped me pick my shirt & made sure I was happy with my choice! So glad we stopped here & had a great time. Will be back someday...go enjoy...great patio outside & we drove through the most beautiful countryside on way there. So glad we stopped!
