Sonny’s BBQ in Richmond, KY delivers an outstanding BBQ experience every time. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and genuine smiles. The menu offers something for every BBQ lover, but what stands out even more is the exceptional service. Our server Mikayla M. truly made the meal memorable—she’s a superstar! Mikayla was attentive, upbeat, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, giving thoughtful recommendations and checking in just the right amount. Our drinks stayed filled, and all our requests were handled with a friendly attitude that went above and beyond. The food itself was delicious—slow-smoked brisket and pulled pork that were both tender and full of flavor, with a generous selection of house-made sauces to try. Sides like the baked beans and signature garlic toast complemented everything perfectly. The portions were hearty, and the prices were reasonable for the quality you receive. The restaurant was clean, the vibe was relaxed, and everything came out fresh and exactly as ordered. Whether you’re a longtime fan or it’s your first time, Sonny’s BBQ in Richmond is a must-visit, and if you’re lucky enough to have Mikayla M. as your server, you’re guaranteed an exceptional dining experience. Five stars all the way!

Just moved to Richmond for a state position. Thought I'd start trying out the BBQ scene, saw Sonny's BBQ pulling out of Kroger and decided to give them a go. I never know what to expect from chain or franchise BBQ establishments with multiple locations. However I'm glad I stopped, for $13.60 (added the extra dollar for all white meat normally $12.60 after tax) I got the all white half chicken meal with two baked sweet potatoes because they ran out of broccoli. What I received was two amazingly sized portions and two nice sized potatoes. The chicken was moist, flavorful, and cooked to perfection and the sweet potatoes were mwahhh baked greatness. I'll definitely be returning in the very near future, hopefully they'll have broccoli back in stock so I don't have to double up on the sweet taters!.... But hey, with inflation and supply chain problems plaguing food and grocery services/retailers these days, if them running out of broccoli for the day was the biggest problem, I'd say they're doing quite well for themselves. A+ in my book. Great job Sonny's! Very impressed.

Walked in to pick up a takeout order, saw about 4 people standing around in the kitchen doing nothing, no one else in sight. Took 5 minutes for anybody to acknowledge me despite the fact that it was completely empty in there. Then they finally got my order & handed it to me (almost dismissed me and let me leave without paying until they saw me standing there with my wallet) & I get back to the car and realize they forgot my sprite, after i get that, i go back home and open my salad to find they completely forgot to put chicken on my chicken caesar salad. After calling the store they try to insist that they don't even sell chicken salads but there is quite literally a picture of one on their menu with the option to get it with or without chicken.

The food was ok/ average. The potato was good and hit thw nac n cheese warmnbut mynmeat was a little cool but on the bright side was brought out extremely fast. The coke was apparently low on syrup but atill drinkable The waitress walked by about 3 minutes at the most after serving our food and asked my boyfriend if he wanted a refill on his drink. He replied yes please. She then asked if he would like it in a to go cup. At this point I had fixed my potato (the only hot thing on the plate) and had only taken 1 bite of my food which made me look up real fast in confusion wondering if theybwere about to close and apparently my boyfriend tooknit the same way that we got there too late and they were pushing us out. But we still had an hour and a half till clise like we thought. While wr ate thebwaitresses wete sweeping undet all yhe boths justbaround us and at 1 point boxed ne in eith another booth seat acrosss the isle while she swept under it. I can appreciate the cleaning but don't only donitbaround rhe only 2 customers in the place while theybare eating amd especially dont box them in their booth to do so. Well the to go cup was apparently a good idea since it didn't arrive till after getting our check and he was finished eating for several minutes and it was all carbonation at that point not much syrup to it. When she brought the bill she said I can just ake it now He hadnt even looked at it yet and I was still eating so he rushed to get his wallet out while she stood there staring at him waiting for hin to get his mine out. The bill was about 43 I believe and he handed her a hundred because he wasn't sure how much it was and ahe was standing there waiting . She the n said donyounneed change? The bill was under $50 im not sure why she thought she would get a $50 tip but im not sure if ill be returning...

Great southern BBQ restaurant right here in Central Kentucky. The Redneck Egg rolls are always a hit with my wife and kids. On a normal visit I like to get a pulled pork sandwich on a bun. If you want to spice it up a little you have to try the "The Sweet Carolina" it's pulled pork your choice of bun or garlic bread with this really amazing sweet Cole slaw it has a really good taste but feel free to get the Sonny's Sampler as well and try a little of all their meats. I have personally tried them all and they are all really good. I like some better than others but have never been disappointed in anything I have ordered.you have your choice of four sauces on the table I think all the sauces are great personally but everyone has different taste they are all pretty self explanatory there is sweet for the calorie counters out there they are all very reasonable the sweet is the highest setting you back 60 calories filled by the sizzling sweet which has a bit of spice but I think it's the perfect blend setting you back only 50 calories I think the pulled pork 450 calories so there's lunch under 500 calories.then there is the smokin' BBQ sauce which is another favorite of mine great blend of spices but has a little more bite it comes in at 45 calories and is delicious! The fourth and final sauce at only 35 calories is the mild BBQ sauce for those who like only a little bite from the spice. Great restaurant very friendly and...
