Reviews for Sonny's BBQ in Jacksonville, FL
Went to sonny's bbq for Veterans Day meal with the family. Ordered the military special which happened to be a sliced or pulled... pork sandwich big deal (comes with a side and drink). I chose the sliced pork sandwich on garlic bread (you can also choose abun instead if you prefer) with crinkle fries and it was delicious. I hardly ever have a bad meal at sonny's. Sliced pork(sandwich or by itself) is usually my go to meal. Smokin' sauce is what I put on my pork and also on my fries (great alternativefor ketchup). Service was excellent. One of my favorite restaurants. Definitely a try if you've never been. Read more
Good country style dining. Country music playing. Several TVs to watch. Food served on metal plates. Had the pick 2. Pulled... pork and dark meat chicken with baked beans and cole slaw with garlic bread. Read more
Tim, our server is awesome! On point, checked in on us numerous times, made sure we stayed happy. The meats are good- I had some... fatty ribs this time (unusual) & pulled pork- perfect. The sides though- why do you break my heart by discontinuing corn in thecob & basket potatoes? Why? Those were my go to sides for decades. & the mac is just not the same. And even though the menu saysthe corn nuggets are powdered sugared- they aren't UNLESS you ask! Just a tip. Read more
Sonny's is always a good favorite for lunch or dinner. There are some great smaller, local BBQ places but Sonny's has a very... good consistency of food and service plus large portions. I will complain that the baked potato was replaced with baked sweetpotato. Sweet potatoes are good but regular potatoes are better with BBQ. I got the sliced pork plate:. Big serving of porkwith BBQ Beans and fries. Again, a personal preference of regular baked beans vs baked beans with BBQ sauce. Purely a regionaldifference of North vs South. All in all, a happy experience Read more
Decided to stop by last sat Oct 16 2021 for some lunch here before we went to the movies. Nice lil atmosphere with tv's, dim... lights with black ceiling, plenty of booths and waitresses. when you walk in take out to the left and hostess on right. They dohave a drive thru as well. We stood there for a few secs looking at the hostesses and then one of them seated us at the table.Our waitress was very nice. We both got the 16.99 sampler of chicken, ribs, pulled pork, toast with two sides and a big glass ofwater with lemon. Also got the eggroll appetizers with extra sauce. They were delicious and filling. They have bbq, mustard,sizzlin, etc. sauces on table to try on your food, salt, pepper and paper towels. Looked and smelled great. My chicken was goodbut husbands was a bit dry. Pulled pork not much flavor by itself but good with the sauces. Ribs we both loved and were tender.Toast was good but didn't like how they placed the bowl of green beans on top of toast. Just didn't seem sanitary to me, butunderstood that they prob didn't know where to place the toast on the full plate. Mac n cheese great. Green beans were brightgreen and good. Had a taste of onions and butter in it. It did bother me not 4 mins later after we got our food the waitresscomes up and places our check on the table and says no rush. Even though it did bother me a bit cuz I didn't see anyone elsewith a check on there table like that.. still felt rushed, but still I let it go cuz she was a nice waitress And she keptchecking on us every 5 mins it seemed like. But when it came down to us ready to pay my husband had to wave her to get herattention. Other people around us seemed to enjoy their meals as we did. We might visit again and like to try other meals on themenu. Read more
Absolutely delicious! Service was great. Had a great variety of bbq sauces. I had the 3 meat special with ribs, beef brisket... chopped, pulled pork with cole slaw, baked beans and corn bread!!! My Aunt had pulled pork, bbq chicken and ribs. She waspleaased with her meal also. Everything was delicious. I didn't like the arnold palmer ( half tea/half lemonade). For somereason, it tasted nasty to me and I couldn't put my finger on it. My mom had one and she liked it. Not sure why mine wasdifferent. But I went for the bbq and I was pleased with that. Can't wait to go back for more. Read more
Always consistent with their food and have great staff members. I always get my food in a timely manner whether in the drive... through or the restaurant itself. Their pulled pork is amazing and always my favorite when I stop through. Their corn nuggetsare also really good with ranch. I'm not sure if they make their own, but they have one of my favorite ranches! The food comesout quick and hot. You can tell they just made it! Read more
Donna is wonderful! I had a delicious meal here. I was pleasantly greeted and sat right away. (15 minutes earlier, I was sat at... a dirty table at Bono's in Town Center, waited 5 minutes for a waitress, then left. Their restaurant had one table withcustomers.) At Sonny's, though, the tables are clean and the portions are generous and delicious. (Their baby backs- so good!)It's a short drive to get there, but worth the time & effort. I'm bringing more of the family & friends next time. Read more
