Don't sleep on this place, in fact go early. I got the last portion of brisket at 7:45pm on a Saturday. Our server Larry checked with the chef that I could get my Son of a Gun as described as they were running out of things quickly as we arrived. Try your sandwich on garlic bread, it's a great change of pace from a normal roll. Our BBQ egg rolls were just great, could have eaten them any day of the week, just good fried food. The skillet potatoes provided a great pallet to try all the sauces. The original and sizzling were our favorites, not quite sure why the sizzling had a distinctive red cap and label, it wasn't spicy. The sweet and smoky sauces were sweet and more vinegary, but still good. Dessert was just ok. The cookies are the size of your whole hand, can be served warm but are very crumbly. My wife wished she could have only ordered 1. The banana pudding has real bananas and is good but isn't something to rush out for. It is nice to see a dessert menu with 3 of 4 options be chocolate free (as someone who is allergic to chocolate). We are already planning a return visit on our next stay at the adjacent hotel!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I stopped in at Sonny’s BBQ near the Orlando North Airport and it hit the spot from start to finish. I ordered the pork and brisket combo with beans, fries, and cornbread, and everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The brisket was tender and smoky, the pork was juicy, and that cornbread was the perfect sweet balance to the meal. What really stood out to me was the sauce selection right at the table, several different bottles so I could mix and match until I found my favorite (spoiler: I loved them all). It’s nice not having to ask for extra sauce, you just dive right in and create your own flavor adventure. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier. From the moment I walked in, they were warm, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. They checked in just enough to make sure I was taken care of without hovering, and you could tell they genuinely cared that guests had a good experience. If you’re anywhere near a Sonny's and craving good BBQ, this spot is worth the stop. I’ll definitely be back!

How to rate sunnys is very difficult. Some of the meat is great, others is dry and is just hoping somebody doesn't complain which most don't. The beans are some of the best in any bbq joint. The sauce at the store never taste as good as it does at the restaurant. They have two of our favorite sauces. Depending on the day the bread is surprisingly good or just okay. Brisket and chicken was shocker this visit as it out performed the pulled pork and ribs. I asked for center cut ribs and I got what seemed like an old batch. Sunny's when fresh has great ribs. I really wish they would be more consistent. We like the brisket tots. And chicken was good. Okra is better then most places as well. We would love to give 4-5 🌟 but half the time our families meat is not what it should be or the bread.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that transcends the ordinary and enters the realm of the divine, look no further than Jen, the BBQ goddess. From the moment I walked into the smoky, savory-scented haven that is Sonny's, Jen greeted me with the warmth of a thousand suns and the energy of a person who has truly mastered the art of service.

Her smile? Radiant. Her voice? A symphony of southern charm and sweet hospitality, harmonizing perfectly with the sizzling of meat on the grill. She didn’t just take my order, she crafted an experience. As I pondered over the menu, Jen swooped in like a culinary angel, guiding me through the options with the precision of a Michelin-starred chef. Her knowledge of BBQ was encyclopedic, each recommendation infused with her personal touch. "Trust me, honey," she said, with a wink, "you haven't lived until you've had the smoked brisket with a side of jalapeño cornbread." I was sold before I even had a chance to hesitate.

But the magic didn’t stop there. Jen was a whirlwind of impeccable timing and unwavering attentiveness. My drink never dipped below half-full. My ribs arrived hotter than the sun itself, glistening in a glaze that could make grown men weep. She anticipated my every need, from offering refills to sliding over extra napkins as if she knew the BBQ was about to unleash a deliciously messy apocalypse.

And the food? Oh, the food. Every bite of the perfectly charred chicken, the melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork, and the sweet, tangy sauce, each mouthful felt like a love letter to my taste buds, orchestrated by Jen herself. She didn’t just serve me; she elevated the entire BBQ experience to a level so extraordinary, I felt like I was dining with royalty.

By the time I finished my meal, Jen had not only satisfied my hunger but had also fed my soul. Her energy, warmth, and passion for BBQ transformed a simple meal into an unforgettable event. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that Jen doesn’t just wait tables she creates culinary magic that leaves you craving both her service and the food long after...

I order from this location of Sonny’s all the time because it’s so close to where I live and they offer curbside pickup, however offering it and actually providing the service are two different things. This is the 2nd time I have gone to pickup a curbside order only to arrive, check in (whether it be texting the # on their TOGO parking sign, checking in to their app, or checking in via a link they text you) to then proceed to sit in my car for 30+ minutes while I see literally 4-6 other customers arrive 10-15minutes AFTER me, walk into the restaurant & get their TO GO orders and have already left and I’m still sitting there for 20 additional minutes. The only reason I have received my food both times is because after 30+ minutes I call them (sometimes they answer, sometimes you have to try 3-4 times). This location needs to stop offering curbside pickup when it seems to be a service they have no desire in actually doing. To make matters worse I always add on at minimum a 20% tip to the order I placed online so it’s incredibly frustrating when they bring out the food, give no apology & act like this is normal. You then drive home to find little to no bbq sauce, luke warm food with lots of condensation in the box so your fries are soggy, the meat dried out, yum. I’m truly disappointed in their lack of...
