    Had a great time at Sonny's for lunch. I was seated quickly and the service was very fast. I ordered and my meal was to my table in less than 10 minutes. The food was good and my waitress was so kind. Had the sweet Carolina Sandwich and sweet tea. (Sweet tea was top notch!) Was a great, casual, kick back bbq place!

    Had a great experience ordering take out at Sonny's. Navaeh checked us out and she was fast, informative, and efficient. Great service.

    I ordered my steak burger to be well cooked. Instead, I got raw meat. This is the second time this has happened to me

    My burger was soggy and raw. My ribs were cold like they had just taken them out of the refrigerator and I fries were cold. The green beans was missing. I ordered through Uber and they did not refund my money

    This is the spot...

    Let me start by saying the service received from Elise was spectacular! Best service I've received in Pensacola at any restaurant I've visited, fine dining to diner or dive.... The food you ask? It was good! I ordered the brisket grilled cheese with loaded tots and sweet tea. The sandwich has several varieties of cheese, or cheese substances, along with brisket, served between two slices of garlic bread; yum! The tots were good, and the sweet tea wasn't too sweet, it really accompanied the meal nicely. The prices are fair and the portions are good sized. I'll be back!

    Why can't other restaurants just served hot great tasting food like Sonny's BBQ does? I had the Cobb Salad with pulled pork. Everything was great and my waitress, Anna was friendly and very attentive and quick. My wife had Taco Tuesday at work today - She missed out! Tuesdays at Sonny's beats Taco Tuesday hands down. Men's bathroom floor was a little sticky and the green beans could use a little bacon and salt, they were good but bland. But they have a Military discount! Gol!!

I was so impressed by the wine and libations menu. I had two glasses of a nice French Sauvignon blanc. My husband enjoyed the whiskey selection. We all enjoyed appetizers- heirloom tomato and burrata salad with yummy bread and a special of the day- crab claws in a white wine butter sauce with grilled lemon. Both divine. The lamb burger was perfectly seasoned and everyone enjoyed my truffle fries. The homemade tzatziki sauce was perfectly balanced and just delicious. The lobster rolls were stuffed with fresh, sweet lobster and the basil aioli the perfect compliment. Such a great value. My girls' likened it to lobster rolls we get in Maine. The blackened fish sandwich had a nice, bold Cajun flavor and the pickled cucumbers were the perfect match in acidity. Overall, one of the best meals we had on our entire trip!! I'm convinced anything you get here will be fantastic.

The proteins were cooked to perfection. A whole snapper that was textbook. And those potatoes, I will dream of them forever. So delicious. Cons: Not a single con. I don't live in Pensacola, that's the only con. Tips: Great NA drink options. Perfectly cooked potatoes. Ask for the biggest snapper, because it won't be too much food, I promise.

Poorest cut of meat I've ever had. Brussel sprouts were hard as a rock. Asked for rolls twice. Martini added extra $4 WHEN MENU WAS 13. not $17. not dirty and not shaken cold. I'm a simple customer. I just wanted a shaken martini and a good steak. Aupoire sauce was bland. Manager never came over to our table to check. Bounced around to the other customers. Wanted Jacksons but unfortunately chose the District. Blue cheese wedge has a teaspoon of hard dried out bacon. Waiter apologized after we said we didn't need a doggie back The steak was raw and wouldn't take it home . So, he took a drink off. LOL If You spend $150 on dinner, it should be good.

We started with the fried green tomatoes. Amazing. We've been on a .mission to find the best Fried Green Tomatoes and these might just be the tops in the south! They came out piping hot, crispy (not soggy) on the outside, firm green tomatoes on the inside. The microgreens, balsamic drizzle with dollop of goat cheese elevated this dish even further. The blackened Mahi fish tacos were so incredibly flavorful and fresh. I loved that everything is fresh and made in-house. The shells, the mango salsa, the chipotle sauce and the blackened Mahi were all so fresh and worked so well together. My family got the margarita flatbread pizza and caprese salad. The flatbread pizza was crispy, light and fresh. The caprese came with a wonderful pesto that accompanied the garden ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and balsamic. The service was a little swamped (stressed) as they were super busy during a weekday lunch. However, they were hustling and working hard to serve us... so can't really complain. Really can't say enough about this place. Great views from the pier, incredibly fresh food with a crew striving to take care of its patrons. One of the best places we've eaten at in the area. We definitely plan to be back.

    Very good food and great service. The setting was fantastic. We plan to return in the future.read more

They hit that mark, but it cost me $40 with tax & tip. That is for just a salad and an order of french fries! The water came quickly in a real glass and tasted excellent. Very clean and cold, and greatly appreciated. Since it was a real glass I did not ask for a straw which is unusual for me. I enjoyed a nice view of the skatepark across the street as I dined, and watching all the people having a good time in the outdoors was refreshing. Most restaurants don't offer a view like this. There are a set of dining bars with chairs at the windows on either side of the door to amplify the view, but I opted for a traditional table since there were many available when I entered. As for the food... well, it was good, but not great. The $14 iceberg wedge was dotted with some delicious pancetta and gorgonzola cheese, and the lettuce was super fresh and crisp. Where it missed the mark was the overly mayonnaisey dressing. It really needed some more seasoning or something and I could not taste any buttermilk at all, even though it is called a "herb buttermilk dressing." The single cherry tomato (halved) was delicious and sweet, as were the 4 thin slices of radish. While the presentation was nice, it really needed more tomatoes and radish in my opinion, and a stoutly buttermilk dressing. The duck fat fries were crisp, too crisp. I enjoy the soft mushy potato inside the crispness of lard-fried potatoes, but very few of these offered that. They were generally too crisp, and some were crispy all the way thru making them a solid crisp. They came mostly unseasoned so I had to use the salt shaker generously. The sausage bits were good but a bit on the greasy side. The dipping sauce was mild, bland and oily, and I wished they had offered a ketchup alongside as well. Whether homemade or store bought, ketchup would have added color and some much needed acidity to the plate. Your mileage will vary, but for me, there are better options in my price range and this is not a place I can take hungry teenagers.
