Serina in drive thru is super nice and friendly

Always tasty! great food, ordered for a party a few weeks ago, and everyone was happy with the bbq we offered to our guests. Good job Sonny's we have you as our favorite Bbq restaurant read more

This was a return trip after a couple of years away The service was great as always, but many of the dishes we had( there were 8 of us)were kind of dry, We as a family eat a lot of BBQ and 3 out of 8 thought it was dry- however the Sonny's sauces moistened them up and there's nothing much better than Sonny's sauces read more

Best food place I've ate at this entire trip and Jen was an excellent server brought out our stuff quickly and was very polite baby back ribs and fries where amazing really brought happiness into my life. read more

Great food... Pulled pork, wet ribs, dry ribs, and BBQ chicken. Delicious! Miketa was awesome! Attentive and hospitable... Thank you! My understanding is that this is a regular example of southern BBQ... Loved it! read more

Sonny's, usually a fair bet in my experience. Even when you don't go in. Ordered 1/2 lb pulled brisket and 1/2 lb. pulled pork and a cold slaw at the lunch hour. No I'm not a glutton, the "other 1/2" was for my dinner by the tiki torches in the back yard. Left to fend for myself for dinner tonight and just not in a chef's mood. (Ha! you missed a cool evening with me, Maker's Mark, La Gloria and Rare Earth!) Their pulled brisket is pretty good. Just a little sweet - but tasty to my palate. Afraid it might spike the insulin but, hell I gotta eat something. Do it naked - no need for other sauce IMO. The pulled pork- well past experience taught me you need something to keep it moist in the mouth,. A little of this and a little of that (slaw) on the fork and - yuumy for the thinning out tummy. Correct not diabetic, just losing weight while eating the things I love most- ANIMAL PROTEINS! Sonny' s has a fair smoker since the Smoky Bones closed up on Sand Lake, they have to do; and do pretty well. Cold slaw, well, I'd prefer dryer and less sweet, but with pulled pork, it's the perfect twin. (more sugar in there too.) At $16.59, (no I don't tip at the freakin' drive thru window!) you understand why I had to stretch to dinner too, but hey, it was good both times. Well, didn't even ask if I want any sauces to go with all that BBQ. - Which usually isn't the case. Forgiveness is next to godliness I'm told - so yes, I still working on the godliness part. They really need to 409 their drive thru window though- or change the color from white to something else. read more

Our latest Sunday BBQ fix visit was very satisfying. The food and service were excellent. The orders came out perfectly and quickly. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs as usual, however the leftovers were nice to have later that night and next day. The Brunswick stew will always be my favorite soup. A salad bar was well-kept with plenty of choices. The pulled pork pulled chicken entrees and sandwiches were tender and tasty. And a strawberry flavored iced tea was refreshing. The server was good at offering refill and to go box. Sports were playing on the televisions which made the time interesting as well. read more

As a BBQ lover from across the Atlantic, I always try to catch the good places upon arrival. So I asked the hotel staff for the best place in town and they directed me to Sonny's. In all honesty, I should have asked the overweight gardener instead of the slim ladies at the front desk who probably prefer a cocktail drink over a Jack Daniels glaze on their sweet ribs ;-) The service was good to great and I did not have to wait (wasn't the most busy night anyways). I asked for the Sonny's Sampler which is basically one portion of all 4 main cuts: ribs, pulled pork, chicken & brisket. The ribs and pulled pork were definitely OK. The brisket however was overcooked and the chicken was completely dried out. I have no idea how you can make chicken so dry if you are using low & slow methods. It's rare that I leave anything on my plate but this time I did not finish the chicken. I also get that timing is not always on your side but half of the meat was cooled off. On a good note: the corn bread was DELICIOUS! https://www.instagram.com/p/BBd2E3xRdaD read more

Great service Chrisy was top notch I will definitely be back as always. Great job management

This place was in my list of good chain store ti get a bbq's flavor, but in my last 3 stores that I went, I got a really bad service and also I thought was a random thing but, it's look like it's a general situation in this stores, also the food it's not the same about quality and taste, hopefully they Can chance and fix whatever it's going on, but for now they don't gonna get more my money read more

I got the Redneck Egg Rolls, or whatever they are calling them now to be politically correct, and the ribs, barbecue chicken platter. Both were delicious! If it wasn't so far to drive from NC to Florida we would eat here every weekend! Come to NC Sonny's. You beat Smithfield's BBQ every day of the week! read more

5 stars for the food... delicious ribs! Service depends on the person that is serving you...can be good or bad... Looking forward to our next vacation Orlando to come again to Sonny's. read more

Do not bother. Waited forever as a hostage in the booth to be finally told catering orders were being prioritized over ours. When food finally arrived it looked like warmed over ghost of bbq past; complete with a giant hunk of cartilage on the pulled pork like the cherry on top of disappointment. Dirty bathroom, bbq from previous guest on paper towel roll at table. Skip it by all means. read more

Haven't been here in years but food is still awesome! Our server was great and very attentive. We came up from Seattle to visit Orlando and me being born in Florida missed all the good food here. If u like bbq go to Sonny's! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Food all you can eat. - Barbeque Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My first time trying Sonny's and I'll be back! I had the pulled pork as a meal, it came with 2 sides plus cornbread and a sweet tea for under $8!!! The pulled pork was juicy and tender Plus there's the choice of 4 different BBQ sauces right at your table to top off your BBQ experience! Try the Smoky and the sizzlin sweet!!!! As sides the coleslaw is ultra creamy, the Mac and Cheese was delish and the cornbread was moist and sweet! Hubby had the slices pork sandwich on a bun, it's was tender and tasty too! It only came with one side so he got fries (boring) I know he was super jealous of my side choices when the food came! Sundays is all you can eat bbq chicken for $9.99, there's other daily specials too! Try this place, you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm a regular and I really appreciate the bartender s and managers Christie Britney and Britneyand the managers are wonderful great food too

As a longtime fan of bbq and having been to a few Sonny's throughout Florida I'm a little saddened to have to give this particular site a 3/5. I came here on a Sunday with my family for an early dinner. We were seated right away and the staff was courteous and pleasant. We ordered the Family Feast, a great deal that feeds four and even includes drinks. The meal features a heaping amount of bbq chicken, pulled pork, and brisket along with garlic bread and/or cornbread with your choice of 3 sides. The food came faster than we expected but it was obvious that the food wasn't fresh, probably heated up from earlier in the day, and you could taste the difference. I normally love bbq from Sonny's but this just wasn't cutting it. Nevertheless we were content to enjoy the meal. However to add on to that, our waitress seemingly disappeared for some time. We had to ask another waiter to call her for us and get the check. Turns out they pulled her to work at the drive through, not her fault she had to be in two places at once. So I'm not sure if they were simply understaffed that day, which might've affected the quality of the food. But that seems like quite the predicament for a location right in the middle of a prime tourist area. While I normally enjoy Sonny's BBQ this location didn't quite hit the mark. read more

We went to Sonny's on. orange Blossom Trail. We were met at the door by Carol who was very pleasant and smiling. She took us to our table for some drinks and took our orders. The service provided by Carol was amazing, a true standout in a world that has almost forgotten what good service should be. Thanks Sonny's for the great food and Carol for making it a truly pleasant experience. read more

Excellent food, ok service, never disappointed at Sonny's been coming for years.... had great pulled pork, salad fries and sides

Great food, affordable for a family! Good service and atmosphere. Will definitely go back when we are in the area.

We had a nice dinner at Sonny's. The food was good and fresh! Our waitress Rachel did an excellent job! You would have never known she was new! read more

This was my first time here; met with a large group of family (there were 13 of us) for dinner. I ordered the smoked turkey meal with green beans & corn bread. The turkey was moist & flavorful, but it was kind of cold when I got it. I smothered it in the Smokin' BBQ sauce - it had just the right amount of heat & was actually quite delicious! The green beans were pretty good & had a bacon flavor to them. The corn bread was DELICIOUS! I think next time I go I would like to try the Sonny's Sampler so I can enjoy other meat types. At the end of our meal, our waitress was very friendly & was kind enough to take a group photo for us. I look forward to going again & trying more of the menu. read more

Run far from here NOW! Let me first start off and say that the bathroom was the most disgusting, trifland, and unkept bathroom I have ever laid eyes on. If you can't keep the bathroom clean that mean the kitchen isn't clean either. I seriously didn't have a chance to sit down and order my drink because we got up and left. read more

I would normally give 5 stars for Sonnys, especially the one on OBT. It has everything I require to make my meal enjoyable. Great service, especially Erin N, good food, fair price, plus the food is in thy dietary restrictions. Now that said, I am ready to go to war with your company for this not so brilliant idea of cutting out the large to go cups for your patrons. I understand you might be trying to find a way to cut costs, but I would prefer you just raise the price of your drinks by 25 to 40 cents instead of offering me the small cup for when i leave. In fact why do you even have those small cups? There is no price for a smaller drink, except childrens drinks. I drive 9 miles out of my way to go to Sonnys, sometimes 3 or 4 times a week and you want to anger me about this? I know I am not the only regular that is irritated about the problem. If I went through your drive thru and ordered a Big Deal to go and you had me that small drink me and a Sonnys manager are going to have a problem. I am sure some where while some of you were taking business classes you saw a movie called Give Them The Pickle, if not you need to watch it for it will give you the idea why angering customers over insignicant profit margins is not a good business practice. read more

Very good bbq. The family shared the family platter which served 5 people everyone left full and very satisfied. Great servers as well.

Was expecting way better BBQ. Got the pulled pork, corn, sweet potato and garlic bread. Husband got the brisket, corn, coleslaw and garlic bread with sweet tea. The good...sweet potato and the bread. The first time I ate at a Sonny's was a while back near zephyr hills and it was amazing. The meat came out lukewarm, the corn was hard and had some old potatoes mixed in by accident. Yuck!! This was his first time here and I was sad to see it below what its supposed to be. We did get the donut holes to go and they are definitely yummy. We were just hoping to get that over the top Sonny's BBQ...Bummer! The service was ok...there were only ten tables in there. When we pulled in, there were only a few cars in the lot...kind of alarming to see for Sonny's...got me a little worried. Maybe this is why??? read more

Not that fond of BBQ places but I came here since I had a birthday coupon. I placed a to go order and they had everything ready by the time I got there. I had the big meal deal chicken sandwich on garlic bread buns (my favorite part) with fries. They were definitely very generous with the sauces they gave me! The service was okay and the food was good. read more

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews on here. I have not seen what these people are complaining about. This restaurant is very very clean, the restrooms were very clean and the customer service was incredible. Ignore the negative reviews go see it for yourself and the food was awesome as well read more

I'm giving them four stars because the servers are pleasant and attentive. But at the end of the day it's fast food barbecue. I will say central Florida doesn't know what real barbecue is so Sonny's gets them the closest thing but it's just like any other Sonny's. Again their service is really good and the food is what you expect. read more

There were 8 of us in our party so we got a pretty wide variety of food. The cole slaw was a hit. The dry rub ribs were good but they ran out after 1 serving (so probably not a good idea to order the all you can eat ribs if you want dry rub). The baby back ribs were tasty. The corn nuggets were just ok. The garlic toast was cold. The redneck eggrolls were just meh. Pulled pork and sliced pork were too fatty. Fruit cobbler was on the menu but has not been available at this location for over a year. Tables were not cleaned for about 30 minutes after the patrons left. We had to wait for our silverware while our food got cold. The salad bar looks like it died yesterday. So all in all not an experience we will be repeating any time soon. Disappointing to say the least read more

This is my 3rd visit to this location. Really should have written a review before now. I have had good experiences each time. Food is very flavorful. Love the redneck eggrolls. The brisket has been tender every order. Not sure how they manage that since I have had it at other locations and it was dryyyy. Also, they probably have one of the best lemonade iced tea mixes I have had outside of my own kitchen. Guy at the drive thru tonight was awesome. Friendly and welcoming when I pulled up. Really appreciated that. Will be back! read more

I visited this Sonny's BBQ today. I wanted to treat myself to a pre-birthday meal. Three ladies were standing around, one yelled " someone will be with you shortly". Then on the three said "are you picking up or ordering"? I said ordering..she said " Oh I will take your order". Big Mistake!!!! I ordered from the take out window the following: Brisket of beef, mac n cheese, coleslaw, garlic toast and banana pudding. My order came to $18.30, which I thought was extremely high. What I received was brisket of beef, beans, coleslaw, a nasty soggy corn muffin. The banana "pudding" was....8 ounces of "pudding", 1 slice of a banana and 4 vanilla wafers. The only thing that was good was the brisket of beef and coleslaw. What a waste of $18.30....... I will drop the mic here...UGH!!!!! read more

Stopped here to get lunch with some out of town relatives and was fairly impressed. We all ordered variations on the lunch special, with a variety of sides. The fries were nothing to write home about, but the steamed vegetables and baked sweet potato (with cinnamon butter) were real winners. Service was rather plain, but was timely and our water was frequently topped off. Bottom line: not quite as good as 4Rivers (but is anything, really?), but an excellent spot with good barbecue. read more

Visited this bbq joint this afternoon for a great lunch. Got the loaded tots which was my favorite & a pulled pork sandwich on garlic toast which was really good. My company got the unlimited st.louis ribs, chicken, & sliced pork. I wasn't a fan of the green beans but everything else was great!! Our server Brittany was cheerful, nice & a great server!! She had a full section & was on top of refilling drinks and grabbing boxes all while taking care of her other tables. I really enjoyed her service, making today's lunch wonderful! Would recommend this BBQ place & having Brittany for a server. read more
