This is only my second time at Sonny's BBQ. This time I went thru the drive thru. Ordering was painless and service was friendly. We ordered the Carolina sandwich and the brisket sandwich. Both were delicious. Everything was good. They give you their sauce in packets and lots of it. I'm glad because I love their sauce.
Great southern BBQ style food. Take away from the store is the older waitresses are awesome and try their best to fulfill your needs. In my case Sharene 78 years old is very charismatic and hardworking. She tried to give me all kind of spicy sauces to satisfy my taste buds. Also she like things hot. My respects to the elderly.
Gr8 family oriented bbq joint!!! Think our server's name was Debbie n she was on point, knew the menu inside out and recommended based on what she's had n not just cost to inflate the tab. Had the smoked wings as an appetizer, fell off the bone, didn't need any bbq sauce at all, the cornbread muffins were fresh and had to top w/ cinnamon butter!!! There's a salad bar, all u can eat w/c had a wide variety to choose from. Appetizers - fried pickles. My hubby had the smoked turkey n I had the chicken 1/2 as our entree. Pics below
Ordered through Uber Eats, but actually quite impressed. The brisket was pretty moist and not dry, sliced pork was *muah*, and giant chocolate chip cookies were very rich. I recommend the sliced pork and chocolate chip cookies. One word of advice: get a variety of the sauces. I did NOT care for the smokey one, so I'm glad I also got the sizzling sweet.
Their sweat and Smokey ribs are always amazing! All their sides are great too! I particularly love their cornbread, beans, okra, and coleslaw! I love Sonny’s BBQ but I am so incredibly sad that they have discontinued my absolute favorite BBQ sauce!!! They did sill have a couple to-go packets when I was there so I still got to use it this time but I am so sad that’s it’s gone!!! I really hope they decide to bring it back!!! Their Mild BBQ sauce was amazing!
Would highly recommend to anyone passing through Charlotte! The pulled pork was mouth watering! The brisquit and macaroni rolls were a must try! Pictured is the sampler platter and the pork trio. Buffalo mac and cheese bites with buffalo ranch and sweet BBQ sauce. Also gotta give a shout to sharon our waitress who was probably my favorite part
I went there for a Takeout order. It didnt take long for my order to come up. Also I noticed this location did have a drive thru. I ended up getting the Smokin Gunjalapeno cheddar hot links, brisket, banana peppers, red onion, and mustard sauce on garlic bread and an order of tator tots. One of the cashiers was really helpful. She put 3 of the BBQ sauce options in my bag for me to try since I told her it was my first time there and I couldn't make a decision on which to get. I enjoyed my sandwich. It can be quite messy because all of the ingredients are chopped down to smaller sizes so they fall off of the sandwich easily. The sweet and sizzlin sweet sauce were my favorite. The smoking sauce I didn't like as much but maybe it will be a better fit on a different meal.
We 2 of us went for lunch during a conference at a nearby hotel. When we arrived there were only people at about 6 tables. The waitress quickly took our drink and food order. I ordered the all-you-can-eat pork... then the wait began. It took about 30 minutes to get our food. We quickly jammed the first round and tried to order round 2,but couldn't seem to get the attention of the waitress. Finally I flagged her down and ordered round 2. This took another 15 minutes despite being on a small portion of meat only. We definitely got the impression that unless we spent 2 hours or more at the restaurant, we probably wouldn't get a third helping. Fairly unsatisfying.
I never had a bad meal no matter what location I visit. The service is quick and friendly. I know there are a lot of other BBQ joints that you may think are better but you always know what you will get from Sonny's BBQ. Fantastic food.
We came to Sonny's while visiting in NC because is the only place I've found with sliced pork. I love a sliced pork sandwich in their garlic today. The macaroni and cheese is delicious. We came at lunch on father's day. I was surprised at how many open tables I saw. Pikachu came along. He approved.
