If you're in the mood for a savory meal that may require several napkins to get through, head on over to Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q for some traditional 'cue that should have you licking your fingers long after the last morsel is chewed. Sonny's specializes in ribs, chicken and pork slow-cooked over a real hardwood smoker and smothered with sweet barbecue sauce. Before digging into your carnivore's delight, you might want to begin with a visit to the salad bar. Vegetarian buddies can make do with the salad and a choice of sides, including baked russet and sweet potatoes, creamy coleslaw, fried okra, onion rings and corn nuggets. Other menu items include lean smoked turkey, breaded catfish, Southern-style franks and beans, and charbroiled steak. The Brunswick stew is an classic Southern delight, chockfull of meat, beans and flavorful spices. If you're still hungry for dessert, try the cherry pie. Beer is available in bottles and on tap. The joint tends to get extra crowded around lunchtime, when the business crowd is in search of chow that will leave them sated without hitting their wallets too hard. Good thing takeout is available.

BBQ ~ NOT
By LDodson313 on 07/25/2008
I have tried Sonny's a number of times due to peer pressure and can not understand why anyone with a single taste bud would eat their food. The ribs are tough and have a marked taste of plastic, the chicken is either under cooked or like leather, and the pork contains too much fat to be tasty. On rare occasions one can find a "fresh" salad bar but, most often it is the best item in the place. If you are seeking good BBQ do not stop at any Sonny's location!

I am from the south and know good barbeque. Sonny's is delicious. Now I live in Michigan and there is not one single good barbeque restaurant up here. Come on Sonny...Show the north what you have!!! You could mop up the entire state of Michigan. I live in the lower part eastern side outside of Detroit. Open your first location here,ok??!! Many people are looking for good barbeque up here.

I have been going to Sonny's in Florida since I was a child. I am so glad we have them here now. This is the BEST BBQ around. Beats the heck out of the vinegar stuff some people call BBQ.
