I've been eating at Sonnys since I can remember, but for some reason they've all closed where I live so when I come through Florida, I always stop by this trip I did it again. We had the smoke wings for an appetizer, it took a long time, but well worth the wait. Nice crispy crunch on the skins. I swear I'd come back here just for the wings. I think these are some of the best St. Louis style ribs that are out there and I've eaten at every barbecue joint you can think of driving down the backroads in the South, I love a good rib, and for a chain these guys are spot on every time and I love their barbecue sauces. The smoked chicken is amazingly tender, juicy and flavorful as well. Their sides are as good as well. I always get the fried okra. The service is always with a smile. I love the

I’ve had the pulled chicken sandwich here before and it was honestly a 5/5. The last time I ordered it, it looked just like the photo — lighter colored meat, tender, moist, and full of flavor. I was genuinely excited to come back and get it again after a couple of months. Unfortunately, this visit was a big letdown. The chicken this time was very dry and lacked the flavor I remembered. It honestly tasted like it may have been leftover from the prior day. The texture was completely different — darker, drier, and not nearly as tender. I know they’re capable of doing it right because I’ve had it done right before. I just hope this was an off day, because the difference between my first experience and this one was pretty significant.

Went just before 6pm, ordered the large pulled pork sandwich, along with fries and a sweet tea. The food was delicious, service was great, and the meal came out super fast after ordering (10 minutes or less). The server was friendly and attentive the entire time and the place was well kept. Oh yeah, their sauces are always great too! Definitely recommend for the Palm Coast area. FYI, they have a drive through also,.... Just in case you don't feel like dining in and want something better than played out, nasty fast food.

After waiting in the Drive-Thru to pick up my food for over 30 minutes my food is cold chewy there's hardly any brisket on this sandwich, and I didn't get a straw for my drink. I ordered online and my food was supposed to be ready at 8:37 p.m.. I went through the drive-thru and as a bonus ordered a dessert item to go with my food thinking I could pick up my food at the window since it's already almost ready. But Apparently now you can order at the window and sit there for 20 minutes and wait for your food because that's what happened with the two cars in front of me. Meanwhile my food is sitting in the restaurant getting cold. I understand you guys were getting close to closing and you didn't hand me my food until 9:00. But basically I paid for cold chewy bread a few bites of meat some ha

Don’t bother wasting your time eating here. Especially if you don’t want to get sick. I hate to leave a bad review but it’s necessary in this case. I’m not sure what has changed at your location in the last few months but from other reviews listed it seems like you have been going downhill fast over the last few months. I’m not going to speculate if it’s staff or management because I haven’t been able to talk to anyone there even after calling multiple times and being placed on a 5-7 min hold each time. But nonetheless, I went through the drive -thru Monday night around 745 where we were behind just two cars. After 20 minutes we finally made it to the speaker to order and placed an order for a pulled pork plate with fries and Mac and a kids grilled cheese with fries. I would have went insi
