    As soon as I walked in Wade sat my family and I down as fast as I walked in. Trish is the server that took care of my family and I and she was super attentive. I ordered half of rack of ribs, with Mac and cheese with brisket, tater tots and cornbread. My food was soooo delicious and it was like about $15. My favorite part of my meal was the ribs and the Mac and cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean and I like the wood aesthetic which makes it look like a true bbq spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Boozy strawberry lemonade
    Amanda F.

    As you can see from my prior review, Sonny's bbq reached out and wanted to speak to me personally. I emailed them as requested, detailing my experience. I received an email response from the general manager of the Deland store, inviting me to return for a complimentary meal. This email was received and I bookmarked it, but did not respond, as we were out of the country. During our absence, I also received a phone call and voice message from the general manager, inquiring if I received their email and their offer. At that point, I emailed back because I could see that they were serious about making things right for me. I visited with my mom on a busy Friday night. We were sat immediately, and our waittress was around to take our beverage order. We had two waters and I asked for a cocktail menu, which they did not have. I have encountered specialty cocktails at the Sonny's in Apopka, so I asked for a boozy lemonade. We explained the phone call and email invitation to come for a Pick 4 Feast - which we knew was a lot of food. We had previously ordered it for four people, and now there were just two of us! However, mom said my dad was asking for and expecting leftovers, and my husband would be home the following day and would love the leftovers for his lunch, so we ordered everything to come to the table The pick 4 includes four meats; we chose the sliced pork, sliced brisket, bone in chicken dark meat, and the st louis ribs, as recommended by our server. For our sides, we chose the potato salad, coleslaw, beans, broccoli and mac and cheese. We got half garlic bread and half cornbread. My boozy lemonade was tasty. In fact, so tasty that i am not sure there was any alcohol in it? It was a strawberry lemonade with a sugared rim. On the bill, it was only $6, so I'm not sure if it truly was boozy? But i did enjoy it. The apopka Sonny's has some sort of bourbon lemonade which is awesome. That's where I got the idea. Anyhow, the food took a bit to come out but we were not worried because our server came by to check on us and mentioned they were working on it. There was a large birthday party in the side dining room - probably thirty people - having a wonderful time. We appreciated the heads up and we were fine to wait. Our food was brought to us by someone else, and in three trips. First, all the meats and the breads and some sides. Then, a couple more sides. We started eating and forgot that the coleslaw never arrived. So that arrived after we reminded our server and requested that one to go, since we were so full. The bone in chicken is awesome, I would recommend it. The sliced pork is better than the pulled pork and the sliced brisket is also better than the chopped brisket, in our opinion. This was my first time getting the st Louis ribs - i think i prefer the baby back better as they fall off the bone a little easier. I was so happy that the cornbread was served with butter! This was one of my complaints from the prior order - that the cornbread was so dry and there was no butter. This time, not only did we received salted butter, we also got their cinnamon sugar whipped butter! Holy cow that's delicious. I had no idea what I missed out on last time. This made the cornbread like dessert! Wow. Highly recommend that. The mac and cheese was better than I expected. Although last time we ordered the okra and did not receive it, we opted just to stay with the items that would not result in an extra charge, even though i'm sure they would have comped it. The coleslaw, beans and potato salad are favorites of ours. The broccoli was as described, just steamed. But it sure was nice to have something healthy on our plates!!! We took so much food home. Mom and I split it, so my dad and my husband would be happy campers. The manager, Wade, came by during our visit and got my name and said he wasn't exactly sure what the issue was that resulted in this comped visit, but he was glad we came in and he was sorry for our prior experience. I thought that was nice. I'm sure he was very busy with that birthday party and did not have a chance to refresh himself on my email and my review of the prior visit, which was the week of Monday, December 15. They offered us sauce to go and gave us plenty of containers to bag everything up. I would say this experience was pretty good. They were busy, so it's ok that the coleslaw got forgotten about a couple times. In the end, we got it. Our server was really nice and on the ball. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh, I went to the ladies room and It was out of toilet paper. Another customer saved me. I notified the hostess, so hopefully she will keep a closer eye on that when they have busy nights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Afterall, it was a friday night. I paid for my drink and left a hefty tip. They deserve it. They have a small parking lot and a larger strip mall parking lot behind. Don't forget you can order ahead on the app and there are at least three parking spots for pick up orders. Give this place a chance - eat in person, that's best.

    $8.49 for a salad bar only, should be a good one. Nope, bare minimum of selections. Never again.

    We dined at The Ravenous Pig again on our most recent trip to Orlando, and I'm happy to report it's…read morestill every bit as incredible as it was when we first stumbled upon it in 2024. The steak frites are just as magnificent as my boyfriend and I remembered. Have you ever had a food memory? Years ago, my dad made the best steak I've ever had. He passed away when I was a kid, and two summers ago, when I took my first bite of the steak here, my mouth watered... but so did my eyes. It was one of the strangest, most beautiful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. For a moment, it felt like Dad was sitting at the table with us. To taste something so familiar, something I hadn't experienced in over twenty years, was surreal. That's not a compliment I hand out lightly. So we each had that For this visit, we started with the rock shrimp tacos, and they absolutely did not disappoint. They packed a nice little kick without overwhelming the dish, and we practically inhaled them. Of course, we had to finish the meal the same way we did last time: with churros. Somehow they were even better than we remembered. Crispy, warm, perfectly sweet, exactly the kind of dessert that makes you argue over who gets the last bite. My boyfriend ordered two Old Fashioneds, and I had two Cosmos. Both were delicious and definitely generous on the pour. I was a little concerned when we arrived for our 8:00 p.m. reservation because the place was PACKED for a Thursday night. We ended up waiting a bit past our reservation time. The hostess suggested we grab a drink at the bar, but that area was just as crowded, so we hung out in the lobby instead. The wait ended up being completely worth it because we were seated at the exact table I was secretly hoping for: the most perfect little corner window booth, straight out of a movie scene. It was the ideal setting for our last night of vacation. And then there was our server, Anton. Anton could teach a master class on waiting tables. He was efficient, funny, attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. In a world where great service sometimes feels like a lost art, Anton was an absolute delight. The Ravenous Pig delivered once again: phenomenal food, excellent cocktails, memorable service, and one of those meals you'll still be talking about long after you've gone home. We can't wait for our next trip to Orlando and our next visit back.

    Ravenous Pig in Winter Park is a solid experience. The staff was great from start to finish and the…read morecraft cocktails were wonderful, definitely worth exploring the menu a bit. The snapper collar tacos were the star of the show. Easily enough to share between two people, with fresh fish and really good homemade corn tortillas. The fish of the day was also excellent and the fresh ciabatta with garlic butter was hard to stop eating. The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked. The chicken salad was just alright, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but the complimentary valet makes it much easier. I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!
