    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.

    Visited Porkies on inWednesday night. I had the two meat platter - pulled pork and "killer ribs"…read moreand Rick had a half slab of baby back ribs. The pulled pork was excellent - smoky flavor permeated the meat. My portion had some burnt ends along with the tender shreds. The "killer ribs" are meaty with a dry rub. Rick's baby back ribs were moist and flavorful. He opted for Cole Slaw and baked beans for his sides. Cole slaw was fresh, crisp and with a vinegary dressing. Baked beans tasted like Bushes straight out of the can. I had the mac and cheese - hard to go wrong there - and the dirty taters. Delicious.

    These are certain states we all know as BBQ States, FL ain't one and DeLand, FL isn't even the…read moretwinkling of a thought UNTIL you meet Porkies Between my partner and I, we had the ribs, sausage, brisket, chicken, chopped pork, green beans, baked beans, dirty potatoes, French fries, garlic bread and cornbread. Let's cover em one by one --- Sausage perfectly smoked, the skin still had a nice snap Ribs fell right off the bone, wonderfully tender Chicken (if you read any of my other reviews you'll find I'm a self proclaimed chicken snob cause restaurants always kill it) skin wasn't too fatty, smoke and spice went all the way through the meat, could see the moisture still totally intact *chef's kiss* Chunked pork moist, Smokey, melts in mouth Brisket tender, good bark, dances on the tongue Baked beans brown sugar molasses base but now overly sweet, a lil bland (personally believe this is done on purpose) till you add and stir in the BBQ sauce of choice Green beans true Southern style with mix of pork and bacon French fries, great crispy outer and soft center I just needed to add a lil more salt Dirty Potatoes not cooked to death, still had a lil snap in the skin, the smoke level, the spices ....I will be gathering all my chefy skills to attempt a recreation at home Garlic bread OMG amazing, so much garlic, absolute perfection IMHO Cornbread, never had anything like this, it was like a corn cupcake, soft, moist, buttery and an hour later still on my tongue Sweet tea, true Southern style and near diabetes causing, wanted to steal the whole container We wished we had room for dessert but my 2 meat and my partners 3 meat had us each bringing home leftovers. The value for the money is stupendous. Love the decor, a number of giggles were had, the staff was super friendly. I don't know if we'll ever have the power to drive past and not stop in again.
