    Bbq Reg Sandwich $7.49 0nly 1 sidekick Fries +$2.99. No drink =$10.48 Make it a big deal = sidekick + drink = +$4.00=$13.99
    Jimmy M.

    I had lunch with my family and another family on Saturday 8/19/23 at the Sonny's BBQ at the 770 Schlillinger Road South location in Mobile, AL and had a bad experience with our waitress Madison. We ordered the following items: 1. Reg Pork Sandwich & Fries $7.49 + 2.99 = 10.48 Was charged $13.99 =+3.51 overcharge 2. Reg Pork Sandwich meat only $7.49 = was charged $ 9.99 = + $2.50 overcharge 3. Grilled cheese fries drink = $8.99+4.00=$12.99 Correct 4. Large Pork Sandwich & Fries $9.99+ 4.00 = $13.99 Correct Original Charge 50.96+ 5.09==$56.05 I Informed our waitress that our prices seemed incorrect so I asked for a menu which she brought back to my table. I Asked our waitress Madison to adjust price to reflect right prices. She left then came back and said "My manager is too busy to come over and I am not even supposed to be here, I should have been gone two hrs ago." I asked her to check with her manager again and her response was they are too busy to be bothered with and she left and changed our ticket to a lower amount but it was still incorrect. She then said that we could pay that amount and she would pay the difference out of her own pocket. I said I don't want it to come out of your pocket I just want it to be correct and she said that is all she could do now. She refused to get with her manager and just took my wife's over priced Reg Sandwich which she priced at $9.99 which should of been $7.49 off the bill. So she charged $13.99, $13.99 & $12.99 which should have been $13.99, $12.99, $10.48 . I have no problem paying for all items at their correct price but I feel the waitress was either padding the bill for a higher tip and refused to go to manager for fear of being found out for either trying to cheat her customer or just being incompetent. If she did that with us it makes me wonder if she does that with other customers. I reluctantly even tipped her $5.00 which I shouldn't have due to her refusing to correct the bill and for her refusal to involve the manager. This is extremely poor customer service by this server which I hope is addressed by her manager and or owner of the restaurant.

    Sonny's BBQ never disappoints and this location is no exception. Great food with outstanding service. I was meeting someone and we asked to sit in the back, away from everyone else as not to bother anyone. Our food came out fresh and hot. The beans were great as always. The fries were hot and crispy. The Texas toast was great as was the sliced pork. I would return.

    I haven't had barbecue for decades - literally. So we decided to give it a shot tonight and I am so delighted I did. We were BLESSED and LUCKY to have Andy as our server. He was so gentle and kind and gracious. He made us feel appreciated and valued as customers - which I find uncommon these days.. so when the red carpet gets rolled out, I notice. Thank you Andy! We enjoyed the crunchy tater tots, hot crisp okra.. and all the four sauces at the table. The coleslaw was a tad too sweet for me - but I'll be sure to switch it out for a different side next time. My dining companion enjoyed his slaw - he likes a touch of sugar in his cornbread and slaw, so he was very content. And the dessert was nice and cold and creamy - banana pudding. Thank you Sonny's for a warm southern supper on a chilly evening. We will be back!

I walked into the establishment, completely decorated by license plates from probably every state, and it was much cleaner than I was expecting it to be. I looked over the menu, and the girl at the counter was super helpful and was able to confidently and competently answer every question I had, regardless of how obvious the answer was. Now, normally when I go for barbecue, I tend to gravitate toward the brisket, but on this day, I chose the pulled pork sandwich, and this was a decision I didn't regret. This was hands down the best pulled pork I've eaten, juicy, flavorful, and smoky. The sauce, made in house, was the perfect compliment to the meat. I chose potato salad and baked beans as my sides, both of which were absolutely fantastic! The potato salad was very fresh and well seasoned. The beans were also very good, made with the same sauce on the sandwich, but with a little zing to them that gives them a bit of a kick. I had a great lunch experience here, and will definitely go back again.

The customer service was fabulous, and we had Jarvis assisting us. He kept his rather entertained keeping our water filled. If you need a recommendation from Jarvis,-' definitely get the water .' You can see the big grill where all the meat is smoked. Our table of six had an assortment of combo meals from the pulled chicken to the ribs to the half chicken to the smoked sausage, even a baked potato. I forget the name of the dessert we tried, but it was good. It was almost like a chocolate mousse. I didn't have the iced tea, but it seemed to be popular there. I really enjoyed that mac & cheese, it was really creamy and typically don't have mac and cheese. The coleslaw was good too! The beans were a bit too sweet for many at the table. I wasn't a huge fan of the vinegar styled barbecue sauce, but I'm glad I tried it. Yeah, atmosphere is welcoming, and I would recommend trying out their barbecue in the future if you're in the area.

As others have mentioned, it's a bit off the beaten path, but certainly a worthwhile stop if you enjoy bbq. This business has more seating/space inside than it looks like it might outside. We arrived and parked near the entrance in the gravel lot. It looked like they were working on a food truck while we were there. Stepping inside, it was dimly lit but clean. There are some nostalgic kids' games on the tables which provided my dad with lots of entertainment (Hungry, Hungry Hippos anyone?). The service was very kind and friendly and took care to ensure we were comfortable. I thought the prices were a touch high but they probably have to be to stay afloat. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with two sides, collard greens and smoked mac and cheese. My parents did the same thing, though I don't remember what their sides were. I thought the barbeque pork was really quite solid. It was a huge portion, so large I ultimately wound up taking the top bun off, spearing hunks of pork and putting sauce on them, then tearing off a hunk of bun rather than eating it as a traditional sandwich. The pork was tender but not mushy, not too fatty, and with a pleasant smoke flavor. The bun was nice and soft too. Definitely recommend the bbq! The sweet and slightly smoky thick bbq sauce was a great accompaniment. I liked the mac and cheese on first bite but as I kept eating it something about the smoke taste just seemed off to me. It became more and more chemical-y and artificial tasting to me, and by the time I was halfway done I was over it. I also was pretty meh on the collard greens, but to be honest I'm not normally a huge fan of them anyway so YMMV. They were a nice texture at least. Overall, solid bbq meat and great service. They're worth a shot if you're in the area.

They are a bbq place so of course I ordered the rib plate. The menu I saw said it came with 2 sides but when I was on the phone the man said the plate came with vinegar based coleslaw. I don't normally do coleslaw but I didn't want to complicate things so I went with it. That completed my order so I headed down to pick it up. I wasn't sure of the atmosphere of this place since it was my first time ordering. I got there and it seemed like a cozy little place to eat. There appeared to be limited parking. There is space in the back and on the side. I parked on the side of the building. When I was approaching the front of the place I saw that one of the windows had been knocked out. There was glass laying below the window. Also, the part of the deck right before you walk in the door was a little unstable. Not sure if this was apart of the ambiance but it didn't deter me. Anyway my order was waiting when I got to the cashier. The ride home smelled delightful. The first thing I did when I got home was try the coleslaw. It didn't look all too appealing but it was coleslaw. Coleslaw in my estimation is not a food that is aesthetically appealing. Anyway, the coleslaw was edible to me even though I'm not a coleslaw person. I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like coleslaw. Next up, the ribs. They looked amazing. They had some little burnt parts that make it authentic bbq. I should've tried them without the sauce but I poured the sauce on first. The sauce and the ribs were excellent. The sauce was a mustard based sauce and it was delicious. The weren't especially juicy since they were babyback ribs but the taste was excellent. And the French bread and the little onions added a nice little touch to the plate. All in all I'll give my experience 4 stars. I wasn't quite sure what was going on with the building. Was it broken into or not? That did take a bit from my score but the food and service aspect of it was top notch. Go to Bay Barbecue. You won't be disappointed.

I ordered the sampler platter with four sides and cornbread for $35 before tax. Let me tell you, I got home and opened up the platter and then all the sides, and I knew this was about to be good. The pulled pork doesn't need any sauce; it doesn't need anything. It has flavor in every bite. Not one piece is dried out, then I ate one of them sausages....... these will be the death of me, the sausage was perfectly cooked I don't know if they make them but man that flavor with the smoke hit me like a flyball, the ribs, fell off the bone, these ribs are so good they give big known restaurants a run for their money and then the chicken, how do they get that skin so crispy and not Burnt or dried out that chicken is nostalgic. Let's get into these sides GET THE GREEN BEANS!!! Goodness, that flavor can awaken a sleeping person, so get them! Potato salad is very good. I love the freshness of the onion and how it was not oversalted. You could add more if you want, but it's very good! Baked beans--no words. The flavor is undeniably fantastic, and the savory richness with a little kick is so good. I mixed a bit of potato salad with the beans, and oh my!!! Mac and cheese will have you aching for more. The pepper was not overwhelming, just a perfect amount of spice, and the creaminess was in every bite; not one bite was plain. All the macaroni was covered in cheese as it should be. Lastly, every bite of cornbread had me grinning from ear to ear. Definitely try this spot out. This meal is enough to feed two adults and two teenagers, and no one will be disappointed or feel hungry! Check out their sitting area. I love the fans to keep the bugs away, and all the shade!
