Awesome experience at Sonny's today. We had three kids with us and I was so impressed that the kids menu was not your normal "hot dog, hamburger, chicken fingers" faire. They had real food with smaller portions for the kids! I wish other restaurants would take this hint. The food was amazing. The ribs were great, but the awesome waitress outshone everything. My child has a sensitivity to hot food and she LISTENED to me and discussed preparation possibilities, and took the time to warn me of likely conflicts to the sensitivity. When the food came out, everything was exactly perfect according to our discussion. I cannot tell you how often this is not true. Super kudos to Sonny's!! Stop by for a great meal at a great price! read more

Loves me some sunnys. My favorite of any chain BBQ restaurant's. I am from Southern California and our BBQ is a bit different. Of course you can find a southern style by restaurant but it's not the same as the south. I love the southern style slow smoked meats with viniger sauses. This sunnys is ok. One of my favorite things about sunnys is the salad bar and this location has a m poor salad bar. The cocoa beach location has a much better one. So I give this location s 3. read more

This establishment is yelp friendly and you get a free appetizer when you write a review. I've had take out in the past but never dined in. My server was friendly, attentive and fast. Portion sizes are huge so go hungry. We ordered ribs and smoked chicken wings. The ribs were a little dry with more bone than meat. The chicken was really flavorful and falling off the bone tender. We probably had most of the sides on the menu and they are all good. The baked beans and mac and cheese are my personal favorites. I took banana pudding to go and it was the old fashioned kind and delish. read more

Came in while on vacation. Started with great salad bar which included soup & many great items one might not necessarily find in a typical restaurant salad bar such as seafood salad. Gigantic iced tea was great also...you won't ever leave thirsty! I had the bbq feast which was a sample of many things...all of which were very good. Brisket was nice and moist, sliced pork was white, lean, moist and very tasty, dry rub ribs were excellent, not fatty & the bbq chicken was moist tender with a nice crispy skin. Four kinds of sauce at the table gives you a lot of options, and the cornbread was moist & delicious. Mac & cheese & bbq beans on the side were also very good. Very enjoyable meal. read more

Great location! The family feast was awesome and at a great price. We were able to substitute items to make it even better. Courteous staff and servers. Highly recommended! read more

Sonny's BBQ - baby back ribs burned.. Waitress, Olivia offered no apologies made no attempt at service recovery. - Barbeque Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

How does a BBQ place run of ribs this is the biggest waste of my time definitely will not return to this location again.

Since the first time I came to a Sonny's. I thought it was the best damn experience of my life. Between the ever so inviting hostesses to the clean and plentiful salad bar. You can say I was hooked. And plus Sonny's bbq sauce is on point! read more

It's Monday. They are out of everything, no Coleslaw, "rotten salad", pickles. It's a complete nightmare. This ship is sinking here and the manager ....? Nowhere to be found. "It's his day off." ? It's a chain- the other location is not far away. Why not get what's not in stock from a neighboring store!? Oh yea because it's the person who didn't order enough In The first place's day off!?? Literally walked out, still starving. Why play games and end up with food poisoning?! The meat was inconsistent across the table, old, dry and one member of our party literally got a plate full of nothing but shiny, white FAT. All of our meats were cold. Seemed like they had been sitting out for hours. Even the cornbread and Mac and cheese - COLD! Wow. $100 worth of PIG SLOP! We had to go to an entirely different restaurant and spend more money- Also, because of this nightmare, my little boy was up way past his bedtime and it literally ruined our entire night and our schedules and routine. Unbelievable. The waitress was wonderful however and I felt very bad for her. She agreed that this was all unacceptable but there was no manager there to take our concerns to. She told us the lettuce for the salad was "rotten, wilted and slimy" and asked if we were sure we still wanted to order it because she did not even feel comfortable serving it, so my wife couldn't even eat her entree since she ordered the bbq salad. Atrocious. Why is this place even open still?! read more

Have been here for a few group lunches and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots. Their pulled pork has real texture and juiciness unlike those places that just give you a soupy hash. Their only flaw is being too good in the sense that you have to choose certain sides but want to have them all. They also do a great job maintaining quality in the later hours. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is amazing yummy bbq all you can ear ribs for only 14.99 you can not beat that price. yum yum try the corn nuggets and banana pudding and sweet tea just like grandma makes it read more

The restaurant is extremely uncomfortable. Freezing cold inside. I have complained to management numerous times over the past couple of months but nothing changes. I won't return. read more

This was our 3rd or 4th trip since moving to the area back in June. Pretty good BBQ if there are no Rudy's around. And since there are no Rudy's outside Texas, well, this is the next best thing. They have a well stocked salad bar. You will not, however, find real bacon. Instead, you'll "enjoy" nasty fake bacon bits. Just tell yourself it's the real deal, and you'll be fine. The wait staff have always been nice. We've had the same waitress the last couple times and she's pleasant enough, and quite southern. As to the food, our fried okra appetizer was under fried, which = soggy. So we sent it back for a redo, risking them being spat in, I'm sure :-) they were plenty fried when we got them back! The Sonny's Sampler was good, as always. And my son enjoyed a hotdog and sweet potato...what a combination, I know. Oh, and last but not least, they have ceiling fans which is really important to my obsessive compulsive 3 year old boy! read more

When I want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I come to Sonny's! awesome food, awesome service!

Great service that never disappoints; Sonny's is always good choice for amazing BBQ! I always make it a point to stop at any Sonny's location when I'm out on the road and this specific location doesn't disappoint. With its kind and timely service I'm not sure which is better, that or the food. read more

I love coming to Sonny's because of our favorite server Tommy! Tommy is very attentive, and has this keen ability to anticipate our needs! Our be drinks were never empty, my five year old dropped her fork and Tommy had her a new one right away! The food is good, they make THE best broccoli around! We're go for the server first, than the food! read more

Tasted good, as always. However, any restaurant that gives me food poisoning is one I will never return to. Food safety is a thing, safe temperature thresholds should be known by every employee handling the food. Because someone either did not know, or did not care, and I'm paying the price. 11 hours now, I have been puking, diarrhea, and general nausea. And I'm positive it's from this establishment, because I was so busy at work Sonny's was the only thing I ate, and the only thing that came up! read more

The food was great as always. Chicken and ribs with baked beans and fries. Yow. The service was terrible. Our waitress only showed after I complained. Ordered drinks and corn fritters with extra sugar. Ordered our meal at the same time. Big mistake. When our meal arrived I complained about the fritters and wife still wanted them. Got them after a long while with very little sugar. By the time the sugar arrived we were finished eating. So we sent them back. She looked at us like we were being difficult. Left her a $1.92 tip. She would have gotten $11.92. read more

While vacationing in Cocoa Beach we went to the Brevard Zoo which was the highlight of the day. The day went downhill after we went to Sonny's BBQ and ordered the family meal for four. The chicken was not cooked properly and the wing/breast was red and watery...BLOOD??? . The master pit boss argued profusely saying it was a smoke ring and was cooked correctly. How a smoke ring went all the way to the joint does not make sense. The pit boss said he was one of the better one's in the area and worked at Sonny's for 13 years. He vehemently argued with me and showed me, my wife and son no courtesy whatsoever. This man needs an attitude adjustment along with learning how to treat a paying customer. read more

Legitimately every time I have ordered take-out from this Sonny's, they've forgotten to add my requested BBQ sauce packets to my order. It's supremely annoying when I get back to my office and realize I don't have my sauce for my BBQ, after ordering from a freakin' BBQ restaurant. Seriously?! read more

I95 Sonny's with average service n foods. There are a couple of other Sonny's in area with the one in Merritt Island much better. Went to Melbourne Sony's w/family on Saturday, June 23rd around 7:30. There were about 7 or 8 tables occupied. There were 3 servers just standing around and didn't acknowledge our party of 4. We waited over 5 minutes. Finally seated us n server said server will be right with you. We sat there over 10 minutes and got up and left. Even tho this is a Highway 95 restaurant and I guess they don't expect to c u again, they could care less about customers. I am local and we have other choices- won't be back. Disappointed and management needs to take action. No wonder this place has poor business! read more

Yummy! Great service and great food!!! My daughter loves this place and so do I. Fast service every time we come here. read more

The b.o.m.b was amazing. The server was very friendly and attentive. The food came out very fast. They were out of their top appetizer and ice cream to go on my peach cobbler [which was tasty even with only whipped cream]. The baked beans were cold when they came out. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite to eat after being picked up at the airport. The food was good and the service was friendly. I ordered the pulled chicken and ribs with coleslaw and although it wasn't the best bbq I've ever had, it was good. I would return. read more

Like usual the meat was excellent tasty but the beans were off a little all in all considering our current conditions they did well

This place was terrible. The table sticky, the food was terrible. Grandson receive his meal and the corn looked as if it had been under a heat lamp for hours. Daughter order pulled pork and received dried up pulled chicken. My sweet potato was overcooked . Lemonade tasted like watered down Kool aid . The waitress forgot to bring our silverware. After asking and waiting 10 minutes I went and got them myself . All around bad experience. Should have know better when the parking lot was just about empty. read more

Just ok.... Not impressed.Ribs were overcooked, sweet potato was about the size of a ping-pong ball and the green beans were mushy. If you can cook stay home and make your own. I always wonder how some restaurants stay in business for so long read more

We have eaten at this location quite a bit over the last few years. It has been hit and miss to say the least. The couple times we were here lately it was pretty good but today was definitely a huge miss. The ribs were tough and the sliced pork was fatty. The waitress was busy chitchatting to someone in another room. Definitely a huge disappointment and not sure we will be back anytime soon. read more

Not much to say here! I love Sonny's and this trip was no different. Our waitress was fantastic and checked in on us constantly. They seemed to be doing everything right regarding safety, masks, and cleaning. Not to mention the food was tremendous considering the price was reasonable! I wish we had Sonny's in PA! read more

OMG - if heaven has BBQ please tell me it's catered by this Sonnys! Yummmmmm!! The service, the food, the location and the atmosphere can't be beat read more

Food is always delicious and the service prompt and friendly. I always get the all you can eat ribs, the price and quality are hard to beat. The corn nuggets and fried okra are great appetizers! And their sandwiches are perfect for lunch. read more

Good fried Okra & ribs. Consistent quality BBQ chain. This location is tucked away next to a Hampton Inn near I-95. Bar area has just a few high top tables and nice TV viewing. The main restaurant has many booths; TVs are relatively small in corners there though. "Sonny's Red" draft is comparable to Killians. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Baby Back Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

We order from Sonny's occasionally, and generally find the food satisfactory. Weekends seem to be better and when they make their best effort. I don't generally write reviews for franchise restaurants, but felt it an obligation to write this one. On one occasion, I ordered the brisket sandwich and found a 1" piece of bone in the meat. Had I been extremely hungry, I would have bitten down into it and broke a tooth or two! Just a lesson to the cooks and servers to be mindful of this. So customers Beware! read more

Fantastically good bbq. I did a sampler to get a full range and everything was excellent. Fast service, super tender pork (Get the sliced pork in lieu of pulled pork, and bbq bone chx in lieu of pulled chicken). Ribs were also excellent, I like them a bit drier so this place didn't disappoint. read more

Great BBQ. We've not been regulars as it's not near our home. We went back tonight in support of a fundraiser for two young men lost at sea. Sonny's was giving 100% of the proceeds to the families. I will now go out of my way to eat at Sonny's when we want BBQ. Thank you to those who made tonight's benefit a success and God Bless the men and their families. read more

best mac and cheese on earth. i also get the grilled chicken sandwich with mayo mmmmmm

This place has great BBQ. I highly recommend it. I got beef and it was wonderful. I also got the spicy wings for the first time ever and they were awesome. Kim the server we very good too. Come on down and have some great BBQ. read more

UPDATE: We ordered 3 meals to go (3/3/20). Food was absent incredible! Ribs were fall off the bone. Excellent! Bumping my review up to five stars. read more
