I hadn't been to this Sonny's for a while and noticed that it has now been remodeled inside. It has more of a bar type atmosphere when you first enter and definitely has a different feel about the place. Service was fast and attentive. The salad bar was quite a mess and not very appetizing. My BBQ chicken was very dry and tough and I would of liked it to be more juicy. Check out was bad! Guy behind counter was too busy with bar patrons to take my payment. |

Sonny's is my favorite restaurant, the service is amazing. You are cared for every time you go there. The food is incredible I love their chicken and salad bar. If you are new to Palm Coast you must try Sonny's the food is fast, amazing, and the prices are cheap. |

We periodically eat at Sonny's and always enjoy our meals. We agree that the chicken is somewhat dry but the other items they offer (particularly the brisket) is very good. At times we found the restaurant to be a little messy but that's probably because at the time we visited they were full. We think Sonny's is a good value for the price. |

Service very fast, friendly and attentive. The food is quite good but the chicken was very tough and dry. The pulled pork was much better though. Salad bar needed cleaning. Prices reasonable. |

Their chicken can be quite dry but all their other meats are usually cooked very well. I like their sauces and the salad bar is good. Service is usually friendly. |

Sonny's is one of the few restaurants that is consistent with its food. I like this type of BBQ and the food is always good. The salad bar is the best in town and service is usually swift and friendly. I find their chicken is a bit too dry for me but I really enjoy their pulled pork and the beef. Sonny's is good value for money too. |

Agree with others on the bad ratings, I must also be eating at a different restaurant than those reviewers. Since moving here in January, have tried, Woody's & Dustin's, all being OK, but at Sonny's, have consistently experienced the last 3 times dining there, great service, great food at a great price. |

I have read all the reviews...are these people eating at the same place as my wife and I? When we walk in we are treated like family! The food is always excellent and if its not just right it is corrected right away.. .my wife's sliced pork was served cold one time... within a minute it was replaced steaming hot... no questions asked. If the ribs come out tough just asked them to be replaced with center cut... the staff are wonderful and I love to watch them interact with all the kids... its a fun place to get southern bbq! |

My family and I tried it out for the first time a few weeks ago. Laury was our server and was very rude about helping us out. She made it seem that she was too busy to properly explain the food to us. We ended up not getting exactly what we wanted, and our chicken was raw. We thought the all you can eat deal was going to be great, but our server didn't even offer us anything else besides the chicken. When the manager arrived at our table, she was very short and rude with my wife. I have never been treated so badly at a restaurant, and would not return even if she offered me a discount. |

I love the salad bar! The baby back ribs are a definite must. And no matter what waitstaff we get, they are always extra nice to my son, which makes eating so much more pleasant. My only complaint is more dessert choices! But really, by the time I am done eating- who has the room?!?!? Great Sweet Tea! |

Laurie, our waitress was the best we have had in Florida thus far. The food was great, served fast and HOT. The sauces were greeeaaattt!!!!. We found the place clean- not sticky and everyone was pleasant. We can't wait to go back. And yes we have eaten in many BBQ places around the states. Sue and Sam. |

Nothing says "yummy" like Sonny's in your tummy! That's my motto for Sonny's. My family and I go there once a week. The babyback ribs are to die for!! I just can't get enough of their sweet sauce. They really should start selling that baby.
I've always had great service inside and the waitress are always friendly. By far this is the best rib place we have ever tasted. We've tried others and they just don't compare. |

Sonny's has always remained consistent in its food and service. Food is always fast and the salad bar is very good. Service is efficient and friendly and the prices very reasonable. If Sonny's is your kind of BBQ, then you can't go wrong with their selection of well flavored meats. |

We get take out from here about once a week for lunch. It is always hot (although the fries were cold last time) and the quality is good. Have eaten inside and it is always freezing in there. Prefer to get drive through and go eat at the beach. |

Sonnys is probably about the best thing going for BBQ in Florida that I have found but the fact is, they don't know how to do BBQ in Florida. I come from Columbus, Georgia, a city that prides itself on BBQ so much, they have an annual festival called the "PIG JIG". Florida BBQ leaves a bad taste in my mouth. |

While I am in general a fan of Sonny's. The last time I was there, the Service was AWFUL. In general service there is totally inconsistant. Sometimes you go and its Fabulous and other times it just stinks.
There were 4 in our party. The wait person forgot to bring things, half the meals were cold. It was NOT a busy night so it wasn't like they were too busy, in fact I would say half the tables were empty.
I will say though that the Pulled Pork is pretty good and I would definately get it again, of course it is better when it is hot, but that goes back to the bad service again.

Sonny's does not serve what I consider BBQ. Everthing else - service, price, cleanliness, menu - doesn't matter if the BBQ isn't the real stuff.
What we need in P.C. is a good Hickory House, or something in the way of Texas style. Heck, I'd even settle for N.C. style, it would be better than what Sonny offers. I have eaten BBQ everywhere in the entire southern half of the U.S., and Sonny's just doesn't measure up.
Their salad bar is pretty good, though :)

WE EAT AT SONNYS AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER WEEK.
THE FOOD IS GOOD AND THE SERVICE IS USUALLY PRETTY GOOD. THE SALAD BAR IS ALWAYS FRESH.
THE ONLY DOWN POINT IS THE SMOKING. I HOPE THEY GO SMOKE FREE SOON.

Went back to Sonnys last night, hooked up with some friends so that was cool. I must say this time the Service Was WONDERFUL. The food is always good although for some reason with the pulled pork, and this isn't just at this Sonnys it is at the one in St. Augustine too, the meat is never hot. Not sure if that is just the nature of the beast or not. It was delicious though. Other than the meat temp everything was great. Baked Potato done to perfection, the garlic bread Rocks and of course my husband loves their beans. It was a truly enjoyable dinner, with the waitress being attentive yet not pesty.

I have always loved Sonny's but lately the prices are getting up and the quality has been going down. Soggy french fries and shrinking portions. No my favorite place anymore. Let's wake up Sonny's and get back the way you used to be. |

I have eaten at Sonny's several times, and am disappointed every time, so only go when my BBQ withdrawal becomes unmanageable. If you have eaten at any first-class BBQ houses across the nation, you will find that there are no comparable BBQ places to be found in Flagler County. Anyone who really enjoys Sonny's BBQ must not have eaten yet at any real honest-to-goodness BBQ houses! Sonny's is just over-rated and over-priced. |

I have always LOVED SONNY's but they have become alittle high priced in the baby back ribs. The portions are also shrinking. I remember when you would get a rack and a half for $8.99. Now you get a small rack for $12.99. And a bunch od soggy french fries. |

After a long wait to be seated, we ordered barbecued chicken. After what seemed to be hours, we got our food only to find a practically RAW chicken. The waitresss didn't seem to care one bit about it, and after another long wait the manager finally came out and deducted it from our bill. At least someone there had some civility. |

The best place to eat in the county if you want what they have on the menu. Friendliest servers and nicely informal. We have eaten their often and at all meals and found that occasionally the salad bar is not fresh and fully stocked early evenings. This place has the best ice tea around here! I have never had undercooked chicken and I have eaten here at least once a week for the past two years. |

This is dry smoked BBQ and I much prefer the wetter sauce based BBQ, but I still quite enjoyed Sonney's. The salad bar was fresh with a good selection and the BBQ arrived quickly and hot. My chicken was plentiful and my wife's pork was piled high. The coleslaw was very good and the garlic toast was good too. The fries were a little greasy though. Our server was attentive and fast but wasn't very pleasant. Prices were very reasonable and the restaurant appeared clean. |

Barbequed Chicken was undercooked! When asked to exchange for cooked chicken an attitude was projected from waitress! Salad Bar was grossly infested with fruit flies! When Manager was made aware of the Fruit Fly problem, he embarrassly shrugged his shoulders and removed the infested items away from the salad bar area until we exited the restaurant.The service was terrible. No effort was set forward by the manager to appologize for these situations. |
