With stores across the Southeast, Sonny's has been in the barbecue business since 1968 when Sonny and Lucille Tillman opened their first outpost in Gainesville, Florida as a neighborhood gathering spot. The place definitely feels like the big chain it is these days (note the identical kitsch furnishing you'll find at all Sonny's shops - wagon wheel chandeliers and Americana crafts galore), but there's no denying one thing: they know how to do Southern 'cue. Meats are slow smoked for hours over a hard wood-fueled fire, and the result is fall-off-the-bone tenderness, that signature red ring and a nice smoky flavor. The price factor is another major lure - two people can eat amply for right around twelve bucks. In addition to smoked chicken, hand-pulled pork and St. Louis-style rib platters, there are burgers, steaks and salads on the menu, too. Side dishes include garlic bread, fried okra, baked sweet potatoes and crinkle cut fries. Wash it all down with an oversized glass of fresh brewed sweet tea for the ultimate Southern finish.--Terry Ward

Jjeffjffhrrs - 10/10/2008Long Time Sonny's Customer
GerekTheRogue - 07/02/2008Good food, but not the best. Great specials, low prices, and a little southern charm. They're conveniently located and I enjoy their food, which is why I've been going for years.

tvldglandsport - 01/12/2006Eating at Sonny's is like trying to enjoy dining at a Boy Scout mess hall. Our pork and beef dinners were very dry & barely warm. The amount of cole slaw served was hardly enough for a small child. We opted for the "all you care to eat portion" but after the meal was served and consumed, we had to leave our table to go to the hostess at the register to ask for another portion. The table servers were scarce with only a few patrons in the place. I can't imagine them serving a full house. This experience happened twice at the same location at West Hillsborough Ave. in Tampa. I thought the first time that we dined there was just a disappointment. The second time is a pattern. Never again!
