Sonny's BBQ

My husband and I were visiting family in Winter Garden and they took us here for lunch. Great choice! First of all...the smell walking in was amazing! The server, Jamie, was very pleasant and explained the menu for since we were newbies, and gave us time to review. I had the 2-meat platter with the baby back ribs and then the chicken wings with a side of their citrus BBQ sauce. It comes with 2 sides and choice of garlic bread or corn muffin, so I tried the baked beans garlic bread and milk-based cole slaw. Everything tasted great but I thought the garlic bread could have had more garlic if you like BBQ, you'll want to check out this place.

Good food,service,quick refills. It has a clean atmosphere.We had no issues or wait for a table.

We went here a few weeks ago and everything was good and the service was excellent. Last night, we went back and expected more of the same but, we were wrong! We had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated in a booth at the bar and the waiter was a little overwhelmed so it took him a few to get to us but not bad overall. I ordered a 2 meat dinner with St Louis (wet) ribs and chopped brisket. The waiter questioned if I knew the chopped was fatty. I did (and was expecting it to be juicy and tender). French fries and a salad were my sides. Btw, the ribs, brisket and salad all cost extra so I was expecting a little "premium" for them. I was disappointed. The "garlic butter" toast was just plain toast...no garlic or butter to be found! Usually not the case. They usually get the bread just right. The salad came and did not look anything like the picture on the menu. (see the photo) But it did taste pretty good. I asked waiter why the photo showed croutons but the salad came without any so he brought some pitiful crouton crumbs (see the photo) He also brought a new piece of toast and some fresh fries. I told him I don't understand how you can both overcook fries and have them not done on the inside so, the new ones he brought were both undercooked on the outside AND the inside... go figure! I used to go to Sonny's years ago and mostly it was very good. Things changed and I stopped going for many years but it seems like they're now trying to get back to their roots and I would love to see them succeed but not going to happen like this. So when they used to have "all you can eat" ribs, the 1st ones served were always fresh and juicy and tender but when you ordered refills, they came out like they were cooked yesterday and reheated. When I ordered them this time, I expected them to be juicy and tender. They were not! The brisket was very dry and chewy. Totally unexpected since I had just gotten some on the previous visit. To make things worse, when I told our waiter about it, he didn't even offer an apology or try to get a manager over to see us..just kind of shrugged it off and went about his business. I had to flag down a manager and she said she was busy with another issue and would get back to us which took about 15 minutes. I told het about the issues and she just stared at me like a deer in the headlights! Then she asked if I wanted "to go" box! (almost all of the ribs and brisket were left, all of both fries, and both pieces of "toast". Unbelievable! I told her if I had to pay for this mess, then I was going to take it home and try to put some life back into it, otherwise, I had no intention of taking it home. She said she would check to see what she could do and after another 10 minutes, the waiter came back and said she removed $20 from the bill. She didn't even come back to the table. So I guess with management like that, it's no wonder all the rest is allowed to be so bad. What a shame!

As a member of their app, you get a free birthday sandwich meal. I had never eaten here before so it was a great time to try it. Inside the restaurant smells so good. The food took a little bit of time, but my tater tots were fresh. The sandwich was a large and delicious. I ate half for lunch and half for dinner. I will definitely be back.

I am giving Sonny's BBQ a five star review because I really enjoyed it. It's not a five-star restaurant in terms of ambience and being costly as usual five star restaurants are.We had a great dinner on a Tuesday night. When we got there it was packed, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes for table. The service was really good.I had the Pitmasters plate with two meats. I chose the ribs and the pulled pork with green beans and coleslaw on the side plus garlic bread. It was delicious. The only thing I would say is that the ribs and pulled pork were not very hot but they tasted good anyway. My vegetarian husband had a salad and a side order of okra. The okra was so delicious that I would advise anybody who is reading this to make sure to order the okra. Parking is very easy, they have a big parking lot!

I stopped in for dinner last night thinking it would be kind of a quick meal. I didn't know it was a sit down and be served set up. The service was kind of slow. The server was really nice tho. I ordered a caesar salad with pulled chicken. The dressing was on the side and came in Ken's packets which kind of disappointed me. I used one packet and used some bbq sauce and it did nothing for the meal. Normally I would give a place another try but I think I can find a bbq Caesar somewhere else.

As soon as I walked in the smell of bbq hit my face and it was the BEST SMELL! The restaurant was nice and clean and I loved that they had different types of bbq sauces on the table. Our server was a little scatter brained and when my boyfriend ordered a sweet tea she came back two seconds after leaving the table and asked again if it was a half sweet half unsweetened tea and he politely said no just sweet. She came back with the drinks and brought him half sweet half unsweetened. The food specials they offer are great prices . We both ordered the ribs and pulled pork special. Serving size was fantastic, flavor was good, but everything was cold.

Food was on point . Was delivered on time and hot. Really enjoyed my meal. Thank you everyone at Sonny's who made it happen.

Always great and consistent service, big portions, and giant glasses of sweet tea. We had the St.Louis ribs and they were so meaty and delicious and enough for two meals. Casual atmosphere and clean!

Terrible sliced pork if you ask me the worst ever. Never get delivery always go to the store.
