We went for dinner last night. The server took our drink and appetizer orders. We received our appetizer fairly quick but didn't get our drinks for another 20 minutes. The salt and pepper shakers didn't work, so I took the lid off to find rust and clogged tops. This was very disappointing, I have always enjoyed Sonny's.

It's not many places you can get BBQ in Polk County. Sonny's often disappoints. I went through drive thru, and ordered the 3 meat plate. Ordered 2 Saint Louis ribs, which they upcharge, and chicken wings. The first set of ribs were charred. I hate burnt BBQ. So, I sent those back. Asked for ribs with no char ...they sent out more ribs. Once I arrived home, to sit down and ear, they were super dry. Not as much char, but both chicken and ribs were dry as the desert.

Just ate at Sonny’s on South Fl Av Food was cold, and service was poor. it took 30 minutes to get a cheeseburger and then they screwed up the order. Took another ten minutes to bring the remainder of the order. The server asked how it was and I told her it was cold. She didn’t much care. Poorly managed restaurant. Our office normally eats here for major events, but I think we will go elsewhere.

We stopped at Sonny's for dinner on the way home from a long trip. We normally eat at the Sonny's in Bartow but that was out of our coming from north Lakeland. This two star review is generous all things considered. When we walked in we were greeted and seated right away. That was the best part of our visit. The next people that came in were told it would be a 10 minute wait to be seated (our booth was right next to the hostess stand). We didn't see our waitress during the next ten minutes and they weren't seated. More people piled into the lobby and were told there was a wait. Our server finally came to get our drink order shortly after notifying the table behind us their food order was still on hold and hadn't been put through since they had ordered an appetizer. This should have been a clue that we should have just left. My wife tried to order a sweet potato but was informed they were all out. Imagine our surprise when the table behind us received a sweet potato although their order hadn't been put through before we ordered. Forty minutes after our order was taken, almost an hour into our visit, our son's burger and fries came out (since it's made at different station than our food). It looked like a thin hockey puck. It was probably an inch smaller than the bun all the way around and the fries were cold. The restaurant was not that busy. There were probably 10 empty tables and 4 servers working when we got there. It started calling out at this point and a couple other tables were seated but they were new walk inside because all the other people that had been waiting over half an hour had left (maybe about 20 people). Shortly after the hour in point, our food arrived. My wife's corn nuggets were very over cooked. I had ordered a corn muffin but received garlic toast. Our server has been running around frantic the entire time so catching her to make a correction was pretty much impossible. Around the same time as we received our food, the tables that were recently sat also received their food. It was a train wreck. The wheels were off the bus. I never saw a manager. We won't be back to this location.

I got the BBQ basket lunch special with delicious sauced wings with the thick crinkle cut french fries. The fries were a bit over salted but the big glass of cold iced tea solved that problem.

I've been a customer of Sonny's BBQ since the 1980s and I'm sad to see how bad it's become since the corporate takeover. When our food arrived the orders were wrong, I had ordered the pick three as did my wife. Mine was 1 order of ribs and 2 orders of brisket, my wife ordered 2 orders of ribs and pulled pork. I received 2 orders of ribs and 1 of brisket I wanted cornbread but was given garlic bread. My wife received 1 order of ribs and a double order of the pork and was missing a side of Cole slaw which by coincidence was missing from our last visit when we had takeout. My plate had a huge crack in it (see photos). When we tried to use the salt shaker we discovered it was clogged so grabbed another off a nearby table only to discover it was clogged also. We pulled the caps and to our disgust discovered the filth under the caps (see photos). We complained to the manager who claimed he was new and had no authority to issue a refund. He took my phone number and said the general manager would call, but he never did.

The food was great. The servers did not want to wait on us because we had 11 people with us. So one of the lady managers waited on us after waiting over 30 minutes. The hostess didn't smile or try to accommodate in any way. The lady that finally waited on us was very efficient and accommodating. Eat there, just don't bring your visiting family. I might give them a third chance. When are these restaurants going to realize customer service is very vital to their survival?

First I called in to see what was in the kicking chicken & was told chicken fingers, Mac & cheese & tater tots. I thaught they would be separate but it was all in a glob with hot sauce poured on top. It tasted terrible so I had to throw it away. Today I tried to give them another chance so I had half rack of Baby back ribs with a sweet potato & Tater tots. The sweet potato was hard & cold, the Tater tots were also cold & the ribs were tough. I also got corn bread & it was all Crumbled. I never had these problems with the north side, this one just lost my business so don’t Waste your money there!

I will not be coming back any time soon. I called my order in at 12:45. Lady took the order and advised me it will be ready in 10-15 minutes. I arrived at 1:05 and they couldn't find my order. The lady who took my order said she remembered my order but couldn't find it. Then after looking into it she never submitted my order to the kitchen. She submitted the order and I finally received my food at 1:30. I called this in 45 minutes before receiving my food. They didn't even try to make this right, keep telling me it's almost ready. Didn't even acknowledge they messed up and surely didn't apologize for what happened. I was 15 minutes late getting back to work. I come here a lot and never experienced anything like this. I will be taking my business somewhere else.

We were seated at a sticky table and after 10 minutes of no contact, we moved ourselves to a neighboring table. We ordered unsweetened tea and the tator tot appetizer. Our drinks arrived but were sweet vs unsweetened. The appetizer showed up and after a few bites we discovered a black hair. They took the app off of the bill. Our meal arrived but when I went to my silverware it was sticky so I requested replacements. Eight minutes later the replacement showed up. My wife refused to eat her meal and I picked through my meal. The server was constantly apologizing and blaming others for the issues. Apparently the location has issues but we won't return. We stopped at the location every time we go to Lakeland. No more!

Very disappointed. Ordered the sampler. And as I'm eating it it's winding up to be the driest meal that I ever ate here. Felt like the meat was from the day before. Only thing that was fresh was the beans n mac n cheese n bread. Ribs were so dried out maybe 2days old. Chicken breast started out ok but wound up very tuffffff. Pulled pork Very dry n stringy. Sliced brisket was edible. Sorry had to complain. But had to get it off my chest....

Literally just walked out. Party of 2, standing up at the podium for a couple minutes. No one acknowledged, no big deal. Waitress with the tattoos down her arm comes out of the kitchen with some drinks, glares at us then takes the drinks to the table. A little "be right with you" goes a long way when there is a Millers Ale House right down the street.

Crowded, understaffed and servers were pissy. They kept seating people, without taking orders, so all of the orders would hit the kitchen at the same time. We got up and left before placing our order, but after waiting 15+ mins and didn't even get to order drinks. Go anywhere else. Seriously.

Hadn’t been back to Sonny’s since they got rid of the salad bar and it’s still not back; which is sad in itself because it was the best they had to offer. Ordered the brisket cheese sandwich. It was awful, no it was beyond awful! I ate the whole thing anyway. Didn’t say anything to the server, she seemed a bit stressed as it was, so I left her a nice tip instead.

I asked for buns and got very soaked gross garlic bread. The tea tasted awful and after tasting the sandwich on that bread. I decided that was $40 I was putting in a garbage can. Bubba ques always has a $5 deal with beans and slaw in and sandwich on the bun. Regretting this stop at Sonny’s today Also my sandwich had Mac n cheese on it

I've not eaten at all the BBQ places in Lakeland, so I can't comment on Sonny's being #17 out of 18 in Lakeland. But I found the food a little better than average. The sides were only so-so, but the ribs (two types) were excellent. Service was slow, and the wait staff seemed overworked, but it was a busy time of the day. You would like Sonny's if you love to be treated like an adolescent grandchild, called "honey" and "baby" and other forms of endearment normally reserved for your significant other, not from a supposed professional. Please note: I'm a paying customer, not your long-lost nephew. Treat me with respect, not unnecessary familiarity.

If I could put 0 starts I would , only once I’ve taken the time to post a review but I absolutely had to warn the my friends followers family subscribers fans and strangers .. First of all i asked for a total and was told “I’m to busy I’m not getting you a total right now you can come in and get it “ and I needed too know if I had enough money or if I needed to go get more , being I had to get my food in 30 mins from the time I called to have it for my sons birthday party, that was a huge inconvenience and she was VERY rude about it , to say I’m embarrassed of the food I had to serve my friends and family is an understatement, and also a waste of $130 .. all of my meat was hard and dry, literally out of almost 30 people no body could eat it.. I will never order from or eat here again and neither will anyone that was at my party once I told them where it came from, all that was ate was the sides & I made them.. that’s sad , I highly encourage if you want bbq take your money to missions cause I’ve never had this problem there . Or literally any other bbq place in fl, this one is Absolutely disgusting. and I will post on my very popular social media accounts about my experience so all my friends family and fans can see and agree to never waste their money there ; thank you Sonny’s for the worse experience you coulda gave me for my sons birthday .

Sonnys has been around for a while and great service is hard to come by these days, Janelle is right on time, as busy as they were just handled everything and took very good care of my husband and me, I have a feeling that even after the special is over we'll be back and we'll also ask for Jannelle 😉 she's doing a really GOOD job! Keep up the good work Janelle, you're absolutely amazing (Traducido por Google) Sonnys ha existido por un tiempo y es difícil encontrar un gran servicio en estos días, Janelle llega justo a tiempo, tan ocupados como estaban, simplemente manejaron todo y nos cuidaron muy bien a mi esposo y a mí, tengo la sensación de que incluso después el especial ha terminado, volveremos y también preguntaremos por Jannelle 😉 ¡está haciendo un BUEN trabajo! Sigue así, Janelle, eres absolutamente increíble.

Service is not good. On-line ordering has many glitches. No one answers the phones. Staff is stressed and it shows in the service they provide. (Traducido por Google) El servicio no es bueno. Los pedidos en línea tienen muchos problemas técnicos. Nadie contesta los teléfonos. El personal está estresado y eso se nota en el servicio que brindan.

The food was good, but lost a couple of points with me because my roasted turkey was cold. I had the roasted turkey with the corn and sweet potato. My wife had the dry rubbed wings with the coleslaw and baked beans. The wings had came out a little burnt and Marlee (our waitress) was quick to order replacements which turned out good and seasoned well. Marlee was very attentive, she took care of us. It was obvious she was committed to her job because there was some urgency in her motion to make sure we were satisfied. I liked the sweet tea also because it wasn't too sweet. This was my 1st time visiting Sonny's BBQ and I was not disappointed at all. I would visit again for some BBQ when I am too lazy to cook it myself. LOL.. (Traducido por Google) La comida era buena, pero perdió un par de puntos conmigo porque mi pavo asado estaba frío. Tuve el pavo asado con maíz y camote. Mi esposa tenía las alas frotadas en seco con la ensalada de col y frijoles horneados. Las alas habían salido un poco quemadas y Marlee (nuestra camarera) se apresuró a pedir reemplazos que resultaron buenos y bien sazonados. Marlee fue muy atenta, nos atendió. Era obvio que estaba comprometida con su trabajo porque había cierta urgencia en su moción para asegurarse de que estuviéramos satisfechos. Me gustó el té dulce también porque no era demasiado dulce. Esta fue la primera vez que visité la barbacoa de Sonny y no me decepcionó en absoluto. Volvería a visitar para un poco de barbacoa cuando soy demasiado perezoso para cocinar yo mismo. JAJAJA..

I was placed on hold the first time in excess of 10 minutes. Placed my order 1.5 hours in advance. Other than the okra and garlic bread, the food was perfectly awful. Always been a fan, but no longer. Won't order take out or eat there again. (Traducido por Google) Me pusieron en espera la primera vez por más de 10 minutos. Hice mi pedido con 1,5 horas de antelación. Aparte de la okra y el pan de ajo, la comida era perfectamente horrible. Siempre he sido un fan, pero ya no. No pediré comida para llevar ni volveré a comer allí.

Ribs were slightly dry and overcooked. Bring back corn on the cob. Baked beans and fried okra were awesome!!! (Traducido por Google) Las costillas estaban ligeramente secas y recocidas. Trae de vuelta el maíz en la mazorca. ¡Los frijoles horneados y la okra frita eran increíbles!

This particular Sonny's has been our "Go To" BBQ for convenience. It has been our favorite for a local. However, our most recent visit this past Wednesday night was not only a Great disappointment, but my Wife and I agreed, "If it were the first time we had ever eaten there we would NEVER go back." I'll explain. We ate last last night and arrived at 8:15 PM for their Big Deal. We both ordered pulled pork on garlic bread. When our plates came out the sandwich portion looked Behemoth and quite frankly, greasy. After we took off the top piece of the sandwich, we had an instant "inkling" WHY the sandwiches: 1.) Looked much larger with meat than normal and 2.) The Greasiness. We started rolling over the Chunks (not really pulled) of pork and beneath the majority of the Chunks that made up the sandwich was pure FAT! In short, we didn't take pictures, which we should have, but over half the "meat portion" of our sandwich was nothing but unadulterated FAT! As we were finishing our meal our Server came by again to ask if we needed anything to wit my Wife quickly replied, "No I'm Done," pushing her plate away so the Server could easily pick it up. Our Server quickly noticed the amount of fat laying on the bottom piece of garlic bread and said, "Whoa, I can see why.. Let me show this to the Manager." Our Server asked politely, "Would you like another sandwich?" To wit my Wife said, "No, no Thank you I had quite enough already." Our Server keenly picked up on my Wife's response asking again, " Can I get you anything else?" Our Server was Excellent throughout, but somebody in the Kitchen was clearly not checking or watching the plates going out otherwise, I don't think we would have gotten the "Bottom residue from the Pork Pan on our sandwiches." For that experience alone, it will be awhile before we partake with any more Sonny's Big Deal Pork Sanwiches let's put it that way.

Service and food horrible! Spent $100 for something I could have gotten at Publix for much less and more edible along with not having to listen to employees complaining about their job and co workers while I waited. No one was at the take out counter or bar (which was filthy) no one could explain any specials. I have eaten here before was hoping for that food and service but no joy. Would not recommend or go back. All around poor experience! (Traducido por Google) Servicio y comida horrible! Gasté $ 100 en algo que podría haber obtenido en Publix por mucho menos y más comestible, además de no tener que escuchar a los empleados quejándose de su trabajo y compañeros de trabajo mientras esperaba. No había nadie en el mostrador o en el bar para llevar (que estaba sucio), nadie podía explicar las ofertas especiales. He comido aquí antes esperaba esa comida y servicio, pero no alegría. No recomendaría ni volvería. En general mala experiencia!
