I will say that the food is always good at Sonny's. They should stock honey as a condiment since they serve cornbread. I normally bring honey into Sonny's knowing I'll want it! 😁 Now the prices have gone up and up and up and up. They even have switched their menu to say market value on certain items. Because they keep raising the prices so often... but they don't want to keep printing menus! Hence the market value! I remember getting all you can eat chicken $9.99. The all-you-can-eat chicken dinner is now $16.99! I'm sorry but that's getting a little ridiculous guys! I chose to cook at home mostly since covid happened. I even bought a Masterbuilt electric smoker that is easy and makes great smoked bbq. Also there was an issue with cleanliness in the restroom. Y'all's employees use same bathroom as we do! Someone had blasted the tile wall behind the toilet. Y'all see it and didn't "want" to clean it! 😳 Understandably, but that's your job to keep it clean! I did take picture to complain to corporate but won't post here. It's gross.

I stopped in to get a quick bite to eat as it was 8:40 and I knew most places would be closing down around 9 p.m. much to my delight I was able to get seated get my food and be back in my car ready to hit the road again by 9:20. The wait staff was friendly, helpful and attentive, making sure I was able to get the items I wanted and that I was satisfied with the meal throughout. Even offering to bring my service animal water. The food was very good and portion size was more than adequate. Overall I would go back and recommend this restaurant to others.

I always enjoy eating here! Whether it is takeout or dine-in, the experience is always top notch. Recently, I went through the drive thru for a quick lunch and was greeted by the kindest, most upbeat staff! The young woman at the window made sure to ask what sauce I wanted and made sure to give me plenty! I think her name was Lolly, she definitely knew what service with a smile meant! I always look forward to coming here

I guess there are staffing shortages. Can't blame it on anything else really. I wish they had real butter for the potato and the cornbread. If you have Potato and Sweet potatoes on the menu then it's an unspoken rule that you will have butter not vegetable spread. Geez we are in the south.

Started out rough. From the minute we entered the place we noticed a rude lady pushing the hostess out of her way with her elbow and my friend looked at me and said just what I was thinking. (How rude). Then we were seated and our server was the rude lady. I thought to myself this is not going to be a good lunch. She was new and not up with the menu. It was plain to see. After 10 minutes trying to get our order right. My friend exploded. A manager was called to us, and I must say he handled the problem well. Replaced our server and we got excellent service after that. We still love Sonny's. Good save. Peace

We randomly stopped here otw home to AL from seeing my family in FL. We didn't want typical fast food but didn't have the time to stop & sit anywhere. This place had a drive thru so we stopped here. The food was AMAZING. We got a variety because we didn't know what was good here. Well apparently everything is good here. I had The pork eggrolls. Out of this world. Great spot.

Good service. Large seating area. Ribs took a good 15 minutes to come out but were very tasty. The lunch portion is a good size, left feeling very full ! They will give you a to go huge drink of what you ordered at the table if you ask for it, great if you are on the move! Photos as of dec 2019.

Food was great, service was excellent, clean restaurant and bathrooms. Would have given it a 5 star review if they still had a salad bar!
