Samantha was friendly and attentive as our server. Restaurant was clean and health score was 96! Our food came quickly and served hot. Beverages were good. The banana pudding was delicious with the right amount of bananas and wafers. Great experience. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Our dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

On 7 Aug 2026, my family and I ate lunch at Sonny's BBQ restaurant. We got down home southern hospitality from our waitress, Ms Kathy. The eight of us enjoyed brisket, baby back ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and smoked turkey mmmmm. Each platter was served with cornbread or garlic bread. baked beans,and coleslaw. Some of us swapped out the side for string beans or okra. Then to top off the meal, my sister ordered the cherry egg roll for dessert!!--it along with everything we ate was delicious. If you're near Morrow, GA and crave good BBQ, Sonny's will welcome you into their establishment and will serve you some good eats!!! read more

This used to be my go to for comfort foods the quality has dropped off a cliff very little meat on the ribs and chicken and the prices have increased yesterday I got burnt ribs with little meat attached read more

I ordered the smoked Turkey dinner. I wasn't expecting to have slice sandwich meat. Service was decent. Due to me not able to eat pork didn't have much to choose from. Not their fault on that but the turkey meat read more

I had the days special. The $10.99 tax day St. Louis rib dinner with baked beans and the hot link mac and cheese. And added coleslaw. I did the carry out and I made the mistake of not checking the order before leaving the restaurant. As I am checking after arriving home I realized that one order of coleslaw is missing. Too far away to return to get it resolved. I enjoyed the ribs and the other sides. Due to this missing item I totally forgot to take photos of the meal. Only the sign outside. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Sunny's restaurant sign. - Barbeque Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

Another great visit. It has been several years since I have visited this location. This location was remodeled about six years ago and still looks to be quite clean. I was in the area and stopped in for lunch. I recognized a few of the servers, something you do not see a lot these days. I was sat quickly and ordered my food. Within a few minutes, I was enjoying tender thinly sliced bbq pork, fresh coleslaw and backed beans. Everything was really good. As with almost everything today, the portion size looked much smaller than I remember. As I was enjoying the pork so much, I did have to order another side of meat. I did not mind as that serving was also fresh and delicious. I also ordered a sample plate to go. Smoked turkey, sliced pork, ribs and two sides. Unfortunately, my side of coleslaw was not in the bag. The menu picture had three ribs, but there were only two in the box. I would return. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Sliced pork plate - Barbeque Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

I have a confession to make: ribs are not my favorite meat to enjoy. I know shocking and the truth is I never liked eating around the bone, so I always chose to go with boneless, but after I visited Sonny's BBQ, I think it's safe to say I might start changing my mind about ribs because the food was exceptionally delicious, the service was amazing (our waitress was always ready to serve us with the best customer service), and the ambience was very relaxed and chill. Yes, I definitely will be revisiting this location for it's interior eating. Another fact is that this Sonny's BBQ is the one we often select to feed us when we're at home, choose bbq, and choose the option of not going to visit and eat but to have it picked up and we eat it at the house. It's always delicious, there's always leftovers, and there's just enough to feed a family of four. I highly recommend it. read more

Bad review I'm sorry to say. Sonny's has been reliable for many years. But today. They lost their minds. Smoked meats is what I go there for. I pay extra for premium cuts. No smoke and no apology. Unthinkable. I won't be back. Must have changed owners read more

I had a mix-up with an order, and Andrea quickly resolved it with the excellent and friendly customer service always enjoyed at this location. The ribs are always perfectly smoked. Excellent! T. Brown read more

I enjoyed my visit at Sonny's. Went there for lunch. The staff was very friendly, food was hot and fresh, and the restaurant was extremely clean. I got the combo meal. Absolutely delicious! I got a generous serving of food for me and rib bones for my dog, I will definitely be back when I don't want to grill at home. read more

They have the best ribs in Georgia. I had the cold slaw and potato salad. It was delicious. The chocolate chips cookies are so good. I came here for the ribs and cookies. They need a restaurant near where I live which is Conyers. The waitress was very friendly as well. read more

Always amazing food and pretty fast service! Love how it's never too loud in there. They ever have a drive thru! All of their sauces are amazing and love dipping everything in them. My husband doesn't like it, but I love it. I would recommend trying. read more

Food, Cobb salad and original wings.... They ran out of bacon for my salad.... No big deal, I wasn't offended anything to replace the bacon. Service was great, I eat at the bar Ambiance, every thing looked good, clean. They ran out of baby back ribs at 6:45 on a Friday night Then white meat only at 7:00. I also saw a lady eating in the preparation area, I'm not saying she was processing an order because I couldn't see the table surface .but I'm not sure she should have been eating in that area read more

Visted Sonny's BBQ today for a take-out. I've eaten inside a few times, as well. We always order an individual Sonny's sampler @$21.39 with 3 meats, 2 sides, and cornbread or garlic bread. We think it's worth it because they usually give generous portions and the food is always good. The cornbread, tonight, was questionably dry, tho. But, otherwise we both enjoyed our dinner. I really like being greeted when I arrive and they ALWAY do, as well as, say goodnight. Rare for service in the Atlanta area. They always makes us feel really welcomed. Always great customer service!!! read more

Visited Sonny's after having trouble trying to eat at two other restaurants on what I thought should be a pretty slow Tuesday. I'm very glad things went the way they did because my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed having lunch here! It wasn't too busy and we were seated quickly upon arrival. I enjoyed the food so much and definitely did plan to return so I can try some of the other options and the desserts. The service was up to par and our food came out faster than I expected (they had up now hiring signage so I assumed it would take a while but it definitely did not). I also had the eggroll appetizer (not pictured) and it was delicious as well! read more

If you order takeout don't forget to check your order. I​ paid for a cobb salad but got home and realized they gave me a regular barbecue salad. They were very busy because it was Christmas Eve. It appeared that they didn't have a lot of staff and were overwhelmed with a lot of orders. read more

Pretty good Sonny! We ordered a to-go order for the 4th of July. I was a little skeptical since they were fairly busy, but my skepticism was soon dissipated. We ordered ribs, Mac and cheese, baked beans, fries, chicken, potato salad, and green beans. Ribs-Flavorful and already cut (Which is very nice). They were a touch on the tough side, but nothing to gripe about to hard. The BBQ sauce added a nice compliment to the flavor profile. BUY Chicken-Very tender but needed a bit more seasoning. The flavor was decent but didn't knock my socks off by any means. AVOID. Mac and Cheese. Decent flavor consistency for restaurant style mac&cheese. It's not your grandmas, but it's more like stouffers. It'll be fine as a fill-in if you don't want to make your own. BUY Baked beans-Bangin. The beans had the right consistency with a Smokey flavor. BUY Green Beans-tasted fresh, pretty good. BUY Potato Salad- pretty good, just a standard potato salad. BUY Fries-crinkle cut. Similar to zaxbys fries. BUY And lastly, that garlic bread that comes with the food is BOMB BOMB! We are usually not a bready bunch, but we could not stop eating it lol. The bread was nearly the first "dish" that was gone! Great job Sonny's. We will be back! read more

I'll be honest.....I came for the reviews I saw on these egg rolls and THEY AIN'T LIE! I wasn't fortunate to grill this 4th of July, but Sonny held your boy down for sure. I went through the drive through and I did have a wait as you do with anything that's worth waiting for. I Definitely recommend you come visit if you don't get invited to the cookout or you just not cooking. read more

My husband and I love this place. They have really good BBQ and as a born and raised Texan I know good BBQ. It's hard to find good BBQ outside of Texas. The only cons I would say are their brisket is a little tough and dry, sausage is dry, and their BBQ beans are disgusting tasting. I don't know what they put in those beans for flavor but they should stop. I had to drive around looking for some good BBQ beans which is impossible to find in Atlanta. They all taste like Bush's baked beans. We always get curbside takeout as we are still in a pandemic but the lady that serviced me was very warm and nice. Can't wait to go back. read more

I really wanted some barbecue and pull through the I smoked chicken plate. The chicken was so dry. I couldn't even eat the breast and wing the meat taste good. The baked beans were good. The coleslaw was good but the chicken I couldn't I should have turned around and back, but I was on the way to Stockbridge. read more

Use the drive through while here. Very convient to order. Could use a lil bit more lighting back there for safety tho, but...it is what it is. The food was pretty good! Ordered the pork sampler. Was able to split it with 2 people. I didn't get any sauce of my food. Trying to reduce the sugar. Thanks for the awesome meal Sonny's! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Pork Sampler - Barbeque Near Me - Jonesboro, Georgia

I apologize for not having pictures to add but, as a YELP Elite THE ONLY time I don't take pictures is when I'm am absolutely starving!!! Like literally, all I had time for was to make my stomach smile. Here we go with my review...I noticed a billboard when exiting the fwy which initially caught my attention. After running my errand, I Yelped to see the distance & lord and behold it was less than 2miles so, guess who was craving BBQ. Meeeee!!! (side note I don't wT BBQ that much) Any rate, I arrived & was trying to figure out where the entrance but, when I say...I loved the fact that I noticed Sonny's had a drive~thru! Oh my God!...I almost lost my mind because, never have I ever...seen nor been to a BBQ spot that offered a drive through. In this pandemic...this had to of benefited Sonny tremendously if we didn't have to go in but, wanted food in the early part of what we all have went through this year. I pulled up I knew...thought I knew what I want but, that changed when I seen the drive thru menu. I decided on getting a chopped Brody sandwich, mac&cheese, something different called..."Redneck Eggrolls" which was pulled pork, jalapeño cheese & I think slaw and lastly, a Arnold Palmer to polish it all off with. The young guy that took my order was very professional, knowledgeable and fast with giving me my food & cashing me out. Very pleasant guy. OK so, I after getting to my destination...I started opening my order, everything was packed well, secured and hot. I started w/the unheard of Redneck Egg-rolls and that 1st bite...(I think..I heard angels). These egg-rolls were so, unexpectedly hearty & good along w/there dipping sauce. The brisket sandwich was very good as well and there unique BBQ sauce but, the Mac was ok. The tea I could of had it a little sweeter but, never the less...I will be going back the very next time I am in there neighborhood. I already know what I'm going to order next time...Yeap, more Redneck Egg-rolls and ima try the ribs & other sides next time. Now I'm curious what other secrets Sonny keeping at this hidden gem!!!! Again, my next visit I will do what I do best...and post pics of them egg-rolls and next items I indulge in. read more

The baby back ribs wasn't as tender as I would like. However once I peeled off what seems to be skin, the meat was delicious. Sides were delicious. I ordered online & my food was ready & hot when I arrived. Will recommend to all my friends. read more

Service was horrible. Sat waiting for 15 minutes, place looked and smelled great but just terrible service.

The reason this place is getting a 2 star is because the staff was very welcoming and friendly. As well as, the place was exceptional clean, to later find out it was due to it being renovated 6 months ago. This place on where it counts, FOOD, was very disappointing. I came here to get real bbq. What I received was ribs that where hard and rubbery. The mac and cheese tasted like microwave food. The "garlic bread" was toast! I made to comment, "think you can get good bbq at a place with a drive thru?" Should have stuck to my initial thought. read more

Made a trip to Jonesboro because I wanted some all you can eat barbecue and a lot of it. Sonnys did not disappoint. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and had the friendliest server named Shylo. She was a pleasant person, very attentive and an asset to your establishment. We started with the best sweet tea ever. I appreciate those extra large cups thank you. Next came the Redneck Egg Rolls. The name threw me off but hey who am I to judge. Made of pulled pork, coleslaw and cheese deep fried in an eggroll. Melt in your mouth crispy deliciousness. My boyfriend ordered all you can eat baby back ribs. Not on the menu so ask for it. The corn nuggets were so good. I had all you can eat Sweet and Spicy Ribs. Needed a little more seasoning but good none the less. I got full rather qyickly. Sonnys still got it!!! read more

I arrived to this restaurant to find the lobby area full of veterans. I stood in line with my veterans code. I finally got to the front where I gave my order. The cashier was nice but seemed tired and a bit frustrated. I waited at the bar and was really surprised to hear the manager and cook in the back arguing. The cook in the back seemed to be getting orders wrong and that was upsetting the manager. The cook came from the back to help in the front but that really didn't help, especially with customers looking on. They finally called my number and I I left. The pulled pork sandwich was huge and the baked beans were ok. The meat in the pulled pork was a bit chewy. The packets of barbecue sauce was a nice touch. If the food were better, the arguing co-workers wouldn't be so bad but with both happening, then I could only really give 2 stars. read more

Very sweet waitress, she kept coming back to check up on us to see if we needed anything. The food was really good, and the tea was good too, it wasn't too sweet, like other places. No complaints at my table! read more

2nd time visiting Sonny's and the service was just as amazing as the first time. Everyone is so friendly in there. The food is very good, comes out fast and priced very reasonably. We had the BBQ chopped Salad with brisket, a kids pulled pork sandwich and mac-n-cheese and a 2 meat plate with turkey and pork and a coke and it came to less than $35. My sons mac was creamy and delicious and the meats with the different sauces were tasty. We will be back! read more

My family came to this restaurant for dinner. We had two children six and three years old. It took almost an hour before receiving our food.The food was cold .The waitress was tried hard to keep us happy but we were over it by this point. If you could have brought the food as fast as you brought the check it would have been an a better experience. The place is a boring setting. My first was in Marietta. I had the same experience, thinking maybe it was a bad day. You guys on Tara don't care about your guest. read more
