Sonny&#x27;s BBQ

We were driving back from the Falling Waters State Park and needed something to eat before we got…read moreback into town. We saw a billboard off the highway for this restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. Location is a little unsuspecting because it is dark and next to a dollar tree, but the interior is quite large and well decorated. We were seated right away, and the server gave us chips and salsa immediately. The chips were nice and fresh and warm, and the salsa was fantastic. ServerO is great. He gave us good recommendations and said that everything that has a hat on the menu is usually their most popular. As for the food, we ordered the fajitas mix. I had chicken, beef, and shrimp for two. It is about $27 and came with a lot of food. Definitely not for two, maybe even three. The rice plate came with rice, beans, avocado, as well as two sets of tortillas, which is about three each. It came in a serving plate and was overall pretty good. Would recommend getting again for the amount of food and the taste. We also ordered the torta. Unfortunately, for this one, it wasn't that great. The torta is just a sandwich, pretty much, with whatever kind of meat you have inside and some tomatoes and lettuce. We got the carne asada, but it was super dry and chewy. Would not recommend the carne asada and the torta. This one was about $13, I believe. In total, it was around 55 with tax and tip for a party of 4, so it was actually pretty well priced. We left pretty full, so I would recommend, but wouldn't say it was the best food we have had but good enough for us on the road drive back.

If you've read any of my reviews before, you know I like to be greeted and seated quickly. They…read moredid that here. We got steak and chicken fajitas, three dips, and some adult beverages. The food was deelishus. The service was a little bit slow, but all worth it

If you know anything about middle eastern, Turkish or Mediterranean food this place doesn't have the flavor. Had the chicken shawarma and it's made from chicken fingers, the fattoush was a bit of a joke it was iceberg lettuce (lol) and not one touch of sumac. While the food was meh I wouldn't call this Mediterranean by any stretch of the imagination. If I didn't know Mediterranean maybe it would somehow fool me. Buddy had the lamb shank and it was tender but completely bland. Sorry, won't be back.

There is some outdoor seating as well if you prefer. We came in and were greeted by the staff immediately and were told to sit anywhere we liked. Alicia (I hope I'm spelling it correctly) was our server and she was great, she smiled everytime the whole time during our visit. We ordered a few different things but most of us ordered from the Triple Meal Deals- you get a starter item, ours were Caesar salads, and chips & salsa, meal and fries, & a beverage. My daughter had the $10.99 meal deal with 6 jumbo wings- garlic Parmesan flavored, seasoned curly fries, & a Dr Pepper, my husband had the $13.99 meal deal with 10 jumbo wings also garlic Parmesan flavored, seasoned curly fries & a sprite, ( My daughter and husband tore their wings up, hands and face dirty with sauce, but they said they enjoyed every bit!) I had the $13.99 meal deal with Traditional Tampa Cuban (this was so good, I most definitely recommend trying it out) with seasoned curly fries & a lemonade. Those meals came out hot and fresh and was so delicious! My father in law had boneless traditional chicken, my mother in law tried a piece of his chicken and said it was over cooked (I didn't get a picture of his meal but they did look a bit cooked too much but he didn't complain he actually enjoyed his food) my mother in law ordered a classic chicken rice comfort bowl, she enjoyed her meal as well (I didn't get a picture of her dish) The establishment is very clean, there is music playing, it wasn't too loud in my opinion. There are Christmas decorations which I liked, since we are visiting for the holidays. There is plenty of seating in the dining room, a bar area as well. Looks like there is also a room to host private small events. There is also small game room area to keep the kiddos entertained or even the adults. The women's bathroom was very clean. Overall our visit was a very good one.

Waffle House has become an iconic presence on the culinary landscape here in the southeastern…read moreUnited States. It seems that their familiar logo beckons in all of its bright yellow neon glory road-weary travelers, partying college kids, parents with kids in tow, hungry workers seeking a casual and quick sit-down meal and just about everyone else from every walk of life. Since Waffle House opened its first location back on September 5, 1955 in Avondale Estates, Georgia, it quickly established itself by offering a consistent selection of food and by being open twenty-four hours a day. For me, the biggest appeal of Waffle House has always been their hash browns, which you can get basic or topped with a variety of toppings such as chili, white sausage gravy, cheese, ham, onions and so many more items and you can combine these toppings in a multitude of ways. For my main course, I have usually gone with their patty melts or one of their egg breakfast options. I myself can see the strangeness that I have never had a waffle in a business where waffle is in their very name, but I prefer a more savory breakfast than a sweet one. If you are in the southeast United States, odds are you have probably passed a Waffle House location. It seems that they are on almost every major highway exit ramp and strategically placed throughout most cities and towns in the southeast. If you see one, give them a try.

They only sell plastic cups for refills when you come back for a discount. 4. Food is a bit slow coming out due to not being able to keep up. don't think they have enough staff. The drive thru was really busy. 5. Fridge full of Brunswick stew to go and desserts like cake and banan pudding. Cole slaw: finely chopped and Th r perfect balance of vinegar to mayo. More on vinegar side BBQ sauce: spicy, original and sweet Soda: bottles and fountain drinks all COKE products. The staff was friendly but would have liked for them to explain about the plastic cup situation instead of me asking if the cups are only plastic and why. The turkey is cut across the grain. As a result it chips which is fantastic because most of the time it sliced like lunch meat. The loaded mashed potatoes are were very good but half way through I was over the flavor. I could have gotten white gravy but opted out. Could have made the flavor balance out more. French fries tasted like fresh cut and the seasoning was fantastic but salty for my taste. The texture was so good tho! Mac and Cheese tasted like a velveeta cheese base. Very southern in elite texture-gooey. The banana pudding did not have bananas but they use banana flavored pudding. I did not miss the bananas with that pudding. Loaded with the right amount of wafers. Hubby said his brisket was a 7. We did not smell smoke or see it coming out of a smoke stack so not sure if it is smoked in house. This spot is very very busy with locals. Sonny's is down the street and I grew up eating it but would come here any day.

The place is located right on highway 90 in Marianna; their parking lot is ample. Their front and side of the building need a fresh coat of paint though. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were asked for our party number and were seated at a table. The front of the place was being used for dinner that night and the back had their lights off. The waiters were all young men who were dressed in similar clothes resembling a uniform. They were polite and diligent. They have small sushi bar where they make their wonderful rolls. Their menu is large and they offer a variety of dishes from appetizers to bowls, dishes and sushi. Our waiter offered advice on what vegetarian sushi rolls were better and what their ingredients were. We ordered the orange chicken with fried rice and a dish of beef and broccoli with fried rice. We also ordered a hot green tea and sweet tea. The sushi roll was beautifully presented in a ceramic and decorated dish with small bowl for the soy sauce. We asked for chop sticks, which our waiter promptly pulled out of his apron's pocket. The table was clean and set with a fork and spoon, and condiments. The green tea was also presented in a clean, ceramic white teapot with a ceramic cup. Our food came out shortly after presented in delicate cream colored ceramic dishes, which enhanced the food colors and overall presentation. The food was delicious and the portions generous. This place stands out and differs from the traditional Chinese restaurants where they serve a large tray of the main dish and a bowl of rice. We loved their food and overall appearance of the restaurant. The waiters were diligent and polite. We highly recommend UME Japanese and Chinese Restaurant is Marianna, FL.

The Sesame chicken was so lightly dusted and fried, which left the chicken moist and desirable. The broccoli was steamed to perfection. And the steamed Gyoza were a mildly flavorful delight.

Besides eating at the restaurant I have also in the last year had occasion to need to feed a lot of people at home. Sonny's has been the first choice each time. The people at Sonny's helped me to determine just exactly what I would need and how much of each item. Everything was as good as it gets to include the banana pudding. There was even enough left over for me to snack on the next day. The Marianna, Fl. Sonny's has great people who treat you like you are their most important customer. read more
