In Short
Owner Sonny Tillman has been serving the same Southern barbecue and fixings since 1968. A common roadside stop, Sonny's offers low prices and barbecue; roomy booths, wagon-wheel chandeliers and homey craft art are the… Read Full Editorial
great baby backs by Bob Randall via Citysearch on 10/20/2009
I really loved the all you can eat babies and the great service. The price were a great value!!
Great BBQ, Great Service, Great price!!!! by lordty3000 via Citysearch on 10/20/2009
One of the best dining experiences i have had in a long time. The server was very attentive and was quick on the refills. I had the baby back ribs combo which were even better than my father smokes!! And if that wasent enough the deserts…
Love the pulled pork by puggirol via Citysearch on 10/13/2009
Like that it was a friendly atmosphere. The server came back to fill our tea even though we didn't ask. My friend had the new grilled chicken with a bunch of toppings and we shared some of those corn nuggets which should be a dessert! …
BBQ chicken sandwich was incredible. by mquintana via Citysearch on 9/2/2009
Had the BBQ chicken sandwich at the Cobb Pkwy restaurant. It was delicious, the manager came and greeted our table. I thought customer service was dead...not the case at this Sonny's restaurant.
Reliably good by sonorajan via Citysearch on 1/5/2004
No, it's not the best barbecue in the world. But, especially for a chain, Sonny's delivers. A barbecue beef sandwich, with the sweet sauce and some cole slaw, french fries and a big 'ol Coke and I'm a happy camper. What's with all…
BAD EXPERIENCE by cjurgensen via Citysearch on 8/11/2003
Worst imitation BBQ ever! If you love BBQ, DO NOT STOP HERE! Have tried it twice, both times the meat was too dry, with little flavor. Sauce is only mediocre at best. The sides do not raise the rating any at all. I call this imitation…
no taste by tastie via Citysearch on 7/6/2003
whoever put sonny's barbeque (a chain mind you) as a top ten barbeque joint needs to have there taste buds removed. Here is an idea Rib Shack in buckhead. You know the place right next door to an apparent top ten outdoor place to eat. How…
Sonny's (you're kidding) by overstreetsteve via Citysearch on 7/6/2003
To put Sonny's in the classification of Atlanta's Best Q is like comparing the Mona Lisa to a black velvet Elvis. Sorry but Sonny's is NOT Bar-B-Q.
Barbeque by Rangergirlxlt via Citysearch on 6/5/2003
This is one of my hometowns outstanding barbeque resturants. The atmosphere is great for down home barbeuqe. Love the ribs,chicken and beef and love the sauce. Cant get no better in my hometown in FL. havent been there for years but if I…
Tends to be dry and overcooked by MrLateNite via Citysearch on 4/12/2003
The ribs have little meat on them, but what is there is OK. The sliced pork has most recently been overcooked and dry -- resulting in having to overuse an average BBQ sauce to moisten them. The last few times I've have the chicken the…
Best pulled pork I've ever had! by Ebarnet via Citysearch on 3/7/2003
I love their pulled pork, and my husband loves their sliced pork. The sauces are great, and you get a lot for your money. We eat there at least once a week!
Consistent. by hallgroup via Citysearch on 1/13/2003
Good ribs and chicken. Nice variety of sauces. Servings are nice size, however, servings could be a little hotter.
Sonny's Yuk! by mferguson78 via Citysearch on 1/10/2003
Sonny's used to be a great value. The Bar-B-Q specials gave you plenty of good food. However, in the last year or so, something happened. You are served less food and the prices are higher. The Pork Bar-B-Q is very fatty and doesn't have…
Bleechk!! by Arwen30 via Citysearch on 1/9/2003
Sauces were pumped up to be sweet, sour and hot/spicy, but the base is what really needs work -- it is very blah with a hint of bitterness. The smokehouse meats, although tasted fine, were very dry.....yet preferable to attempting to add…
bears know best! by eddiegrizzle via Citysearch on 1/9/2003
Pitiful excuse for Southern Barbecue. I wouldn't feed it to a dog! How do they survive as a chain? I guess enough people from up north moved south and don't understand what real barbecue and stew are all about. Every barbecue establishment…
Sonny's is not REAL bbq. by englishmajor via Citysearch on 1/9/2003
Sonny's may serve meat cooked in a bar-b-que style, but it is no-where near genuine Atlanta bbq. The meat is sliced and dry and the sauces are too think, too sweet and have too much of a tomato base. Atlanta (and Georgia) bbq is chopped,…
mouth watering by tikiharris via Citysearch on 1/9/2003
I have tried several BBQ restaurants in the southeast area, but I have never found anything that taste better than Sonny's. Plus for the price and quantity and overall service is great. I highly recommend to anyone who loves BBQ!
weak by bstier via Citysearch on 1/9/2003
Not barbeque at all. Pork not chopped. Ribs unimaginative. Service quite good.
I love it. by lynshe via Citysearch on 1/9/2003
I am there almost every Saturday. Their ribs and chicken is delicious. And the baked beans are the best. And the tea is wonderful.
Totally fake barbque by sunlynn via Citysearch on 11/27/2002
If you like barbwure in a bucket. This is NO PLACE for barbque. It is NOT a true barbque restaurant!! Only NON southren people call this place a good restaurant!!
