Ordered 1pound of beef brisket to go my wife took out bag said it felt light. Weighed on kitchen scale it's was less then a 1/2 pound. Called manager to let him know. He seemed not care said next time you're in the area pick up your 1/2 pound. Also no sauce's in bag. Not a friendly place to order takeout and not senior friendly read more

I LOVED everything at this place. The second we walked in for lunch, the first thing my fiancé said is "this place is SO clean!" We got an appetizer (not pictured) of the loaded tots with brisket which I absolutely recommend. Then I got the 1/4lb. chicken and 1/4 lb. Pulled pork with beans and green beans, and my fiancé got brisket grilled cheese with Mac and cheese and half slab baby back ribs with beans and Mac and cheese. I loved the Mac and cheese and green beans, but the regular beans were yummy but just weren't my speed. Would probably get a different side but again it was delicious. Definitely recommend :) read more

Since my last review, the food quality has improved, immensely. Thank goodness! We stopped for a little BBQ and their awesome salad bar. This location is always spotlessly clean and very up-scale for a BBQ joint. I ordered their Big Deal (a sandwich, side and drink) ($9.29) with the salad bar (which is an up-charge of $3.99). I opted for the sliced pork and French fries. The pork was moist, tender and awesome. (see pic) The salad bar was fine but, for some reason, they now dice their tomatoes, red onions and cucumbers. I do not like it! I prefer my veggies recognizable. The tomatoes looked like salsa. You would think that dicing the veggies would increase oxidation and thus hasten spoilage. Anyway, the salad bar was immaculate and the other items were appealing. My better half decided on the Salad Bar with a side of sliced pork. ($11.99) The pork was also moist and delicious. After doing the math, the salad bar with a side of sliced pork plus a drink was more expense than the Big Deal with the salad bar add-on. Go figure. Yes, I'm one of those guys who does the math! Our lunch came to a little under $30 before tip and it was worth every nickle. If you decide to eat at a Sonny's, I would recommend this location, without a doubt. read more

Sonny's BBQ - Slice Pork Sandwich with French fries. It was delicious! - Barbeque Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

We had a really nice waitress and she got around to us really quick even though she was slammed. I've always liked Sonny's and I I have been to this one before but it has been a long while since I have been. The honest review is the food wasn't as stellar as it has been at other locations. The other problem being is it seems as though they really couldn't get the order right. I don't know if the waitress wrote things down wrong or if the cooks weren't getting it right, but one of our orders was wrong and the table across from us had the same problem. I used to like their baked beans, but I certainly wouldn't order them again. Our best experience was the fried okra. Crispy and tasty. Dipped in ranch was just down right delicious! It wasn't what we expected. read more

Best bbq with cheap price. Rib is a must try! The smoked chiken wing is very, little salty for me. I come here very often. Good lunch and dinner place for friend and family. Kid have luttle cute cup and crayon paper too. read more

First time going to any Sonny's BBQ. And...I thought it was fantastic. Chain bbq or any chain restaurant usually is not my fav but a friend of mine raved about Sonny's. So, I went and tried both types of ribs with green beans and sweet potato sides. Baby backs were good but what really impressed me was the St Louis Style Ribs! Very Yummy. And sides were good, wait staff was good. Actually best baked sweet potato I have ever had! Already planning another visit with a friend...can't wait read more

Tried this place out the other day and I have to say it's good. I love the Brisket and the sides were great. Look forward to trying the Baby Back Ribs. They give you a variety of BBQ sauces and have a good selection of choices. I picked up my meal, but while inside it looked like a great places to eat in as well. Staff as very friendly and look out for the customer. If BBQ is your thing then come by this place and get your grub on. They even have a drive through. A BBQ place has to be popular to have one of those. read more

We've been coming here for years and enjoy the low prices and fine food. The service is always very good and the food selection is just what we want on a lazy afternoon. The restaurant recently underwent a rehab, and now the lights above each table cast an unattractive shade on your food. The color temperature is not inviting. They should have bought warmer bulbs. When you walk in, the place looks like a cave. Lighting aside, we will return but I really don't like the way the place is lit. read more

Their food is always great but not enough service at the bar area. Hopefully they will have more employees as the pandemic slows down.

Love this place. Not TX Bbq so they need to work on their brisket but everything else was spot on!

I was a bit more than ecstatic when I was allowed to choose my own flavorings of sauce. All the food came out hot and fresh. At the table were 4 different types of bbq sauces. The food server was attentive and didn't leave us hanging. Can't wait to go back next year. read more

As a regular Sonny's customer, I have to tell you the service at the Palm Harbor location has been on a noticeable decline. It was so bad this time we left before even having a server approach our table. We arrived at 1:00 on Thursday, there was a short wait to get a table, no problem, it's lunchtime. We were seated in the back room. Eventually as we were waiting to be greeted and served three other groups were seated in there as well. A couple behind us had a server bring them drinks and take their order. Another gentleman had a sever come to take his order but he moved tables because he saw a friend of his. A third gentleman whom was the last of the people I mentioned seated, waited 5 minutes and asked us if a server had come to our table yet. We said no and he left. After he left another server came in saw his empty table, took the menu and left the room. Still not even addressing us. We waited a few more minutes to see if any server would be back. No one. We left. the host, seeming clueless said, have a good day! The restaurant has good food, I know we've been there many times, but lately service has really been poor. I guess I'll have to get me BBQ either at another location or a different restaurant. read more

This location is close to our house and kind of our go to for BBQ. We usually order it and pick it up. I know a lot of people will say there are better BBQ places out there but we have never had bad food here. On this occasion I ordered the brisket dinner, my husband got pork 3 days and we ordered a pound of ribs. All the meat was cooked perfectly. We also had enough food for two dinners. Both my husband and I are a big fans of their beans. We also each got corn as our other side. That was the one thing that I didn't really like. To me, the corn was overdone but that is just the way my husband likes it. Another thing I am a fan of is their sauce. I love the sizzlin' sauce. If you want to dine at the restaurant, they have a nice dining room, a bar with a lot of seating and a couple tvs to watch games, and an outside area. I would say this is a good place for quick, family dining or for take out (they have a take out drive-thru window, but we always go inside to pick it up.) read more

Thank you for catering our 50th anniversary. Food was great, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, green bean, sweet potatoes, salad, cornbread and lemonade . Catering staff most helpful. Only one small disappointment, I usually get real butter when I dine in and you sent spread/processed oil. read more

Ever since they remodeled that place the food has always been excellent. The manager there does a great job and is always accommodating. Always dependable great BBQ read more

Dear Sonnys, We did enjoy our meal last night despite the 60 degree air conditioning. it was literally so cold in there it made our food cold. I know it's "cool" to turn over tables, but really your guests comfort should come first. Please consider us. read more

Love that this Sonny's offers a drive thru for fast service! We sat on the patio with our dog (dog friendly establishments are huge pluses in my book) and we're served by the bartender inside. The table outside was pretty dirty but our server took notice and cleaned it up for us. We ordered ribs and sliced pork meals. Every thing came out great including our sides (Mac and cheese, Cole slaw, French fries). Our server said the beers were BOGO and we told her to give us one of the BOGOs now and then if we wanted another round we'd order it, which we never did but when the bill came she charged us both for the BOGO so essentially we both should of gotten another beer for free but never did and we didn't have time to ask for them so that was a little annoying because we wouldn't of ordered them in the first place if we knew that was going to be the Update: ask for Jasmin as your server she was wonderful, very attentive, and super sweet! read more

I've been coming to tjis location for years for lunch. There must have been confusion today as I waited at the bar to order food. I finally got my favorote ice tea and then walked out 20 minutes later as no one came back to take my order or even asked if I had been helped. Very dissapointing after many good years of service otherwise. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

Was so ready to eat some baby back ribs. Got to Sonny's just to be told at 7pm on a Saturday night that they ran out of them!!! What!!!!???? I'm read more

Great food. Good servers. Awesome menu. Fair prices. Good atmosphere. I enjoy eating here very much. Wish they would bring back the salad bar - that put this place over the top and my whole family misses it. We also miss the specials. read more

I have been going to this Sonny's for many, many years. They recently remodeled the inside, so I had to check it out and see what was new. First, the new look is fantastic, modern for what you would expect at a BBQ place. The service is always excellent, all though, on this visit the server never cleaned my husband rib bones off the table and it grossed me out a bit. He had their all-you-can-eat baby back ribs, so you can imagine there were a lot of bones. I had the salad bar, which was fresh and well stocked. read more

We are on our quest to find the best baby back ribs in Pinellas County. Sonny's did not disappoint! The tender and tasty pork fell off the ribs upon contact. The yummy sides complemented the entree. Our waiter was super attentive and helpful. All good! read more

Sonny's BBQ - Snazzy Truck! - Barbeque Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

The Ribs for two are not on the menu but you can ask for them. What a great value on some of the best BBQ Ribs in North Pinellas. We were there for Mother's Day as all Mom's received a free salad bar. The place was packed but the staff was friendly and service moved very smoothly. One of the things we like most is drinks are 2 for 1 all the time. read more

The staff and food are amazing here at this Sonnys in front of Publix shopping center! Excellent smoked meats and exceptional customer service! They get it Right! Thank you we always come here when in the need for great BBQ in Palm Harbor read more

Thirty years ago I would always jump at a chance to eat at Sonny's. Today, my meat was cold, my chicken had no smoke flavor, my toast was cold and had obviously sat out for a long time and the whole thing was a sterile corporate experience. read more

I'm not sure a lot of the reviews on this place are fair -- maybe I'm just not a BBQ snob... I find the food to be simple and predictable--but good. The BBQ meats are nicely prepared, and there is a good selection of side items. The salad bar is very stocked too. Sonnys may not be top notch BBQ to those in the know, but the food is good and worth a try if you have never been. read more

Best tasting BBQ hands down. The service is friendly and extremely good. I can not even think of a time I had a bad meal here in all the years. I have been to many BBQ establishments, though I come back to Sonny's. The place is always clean too. Garlic Bread is so good. read more

It's great fast-food BBQ, and their sweet sauce and garlic bread is amazing. And their giant sweet teas are great. Try the lunch specials, you get a sandwich, a fountain drink, and one side all for under $10, you can't beat that. Always great for a BBQ fix. read more

This is my go to place for big gatherings. Food is great and you defiantly get a lot for your money.

Excellent food. Excellent staff-attentive, polite, professional. I had the all you can eat chicken, with 2 sides. $14!!! The place is clean, it's just an excellent place to go and eat either by yourself for lunch or with your entire family. As a bonus, Krristina waited on me. She is AWESOME!!!!!! read more

We visit Palm Harbor once a year and a stop at Sonny's is always on the agenda. The BBQ is good, the service is friendly, and it's a great meal for the price. I love that you can add the salad bar to any meal for $4. I usually order a BBQ meal with 2 types of meat. With the salad bar, sides, and corn bread, it can provide you leftovers for a day or two! Great stop for a casual, family meal if you're in the mood for BBQ. read more

You know, I have to say that this is very good bbq. We tried out Sonny's from a recommendation of a friend. We were not sorry. The ribs are tender and fantastic, the salad bar plentiful, the baked beans really tasty. I wasn't as crazy about their green beans, thinking they were a little bland and needing seasoning but the ribs certainly made up for it. The ribs are a wet rib, seasoned nicely with their bbq sauce. My husband's pulled pork was also very tasty with a nice smoky flavor. I stopped by today to pick up some baby back ribs for some friends for lunch - a slab of ribs was just over $17.00 and came piping hot and smelling divine! This will definitely be a bbq joint we will frequent regularly. If you haven't tried it, I'd definitely recommend. read more

Went in thinking this might be a bad review came out singing "I want more Sonny's" yes service was great, received exactly what I wanted for a descent $8.99 price upgraded and landed some okra for just $1.....it was absolutely five stars, due to the food, service, atmosphere and pricing (thats how I rate each place I eat at). read more

Good food and timely service. The cooks and staff all seem to know what they are doing and work very hard thank everyone!

It isn't the best but it is a place I would come back to visit. The "sweet" sauce is good but not exceptional. The "mild" is reminiscent of an Arby's sauce; which isn't bad if you want Arby's. "Sizzlin" wasn't very hot at all. Your best choice is the "Smokin' ". It did have a nice smoke flavor to it. I had the beef brisket sandwich. The beef was wonderfully tender but lacked any smoke of its own. The "redneck egg roll" appetizer was unique and a pick. It is pulled pork, coleslaw and pepper jack cheese served with a smokey ranch dipping sauce. If you craving good BBQ, this will work. If you wanting outstanding - go to Pappy's in St. Louis! read more

Just left waited for a table for two for 25 mins we go here once a week, and were told to sit and wait meanwhile sitting other tables of two that just walked in because it's chaotic at the hostess stand. Sadly dissatisfied read more

Surprisingly good.i got a pulled pork sandwich and slaw. The table got some kinda egg roll and corn things that were both delicious especially the corn things. Our server was the best, a woman in her forties with dark hair ... I think Yvonne. She was professional and pleasant without being annoying. She should lead a class for other servers. I'd definitely suggest this place . read more

Our family used to take out baby back ribs every week during these pandemic period.We kept going back because of the good taste and reasonable price.This week we were surprised that the price went up to $25 and taste totally different than we used to love.There were more meat on the rib but no BBQ flavor unless you pour a lot of sauce on it.I gave it two stars because my dogs love it,For that price,I'd rather have filet mignon for dinner. read more
