Where it All Started

Sonny’s BBQ  is a barbecue restaurant chain founded by Floyd “Sonny” Tillman In Gainesville, Florida in 1968. They now have 150 restaurants across nine Southeastern states and is headquartered in Winter Park, Florida. The restaurant specializes in Southern-style BBQ.

Sonny’s has some of the best BBQ pulled pork, sliced pork, sliced pork, baby back ribs, buffalo wings, St. Louis style ribs, and beef brisket you will ever taste. All of their meat is served scorching hot, juicy and of course flavorful.

 The Sidekicks

Every good main attraction has to have its sidekicks. On the menu alongside of the meets Sonny’s has a host of sides. Macaroni and Cheese is one of the most famous. Their mac and cheese is creamy, cheesy, and just plain perfect. The BBQ baked beans are a near second with the sweet aroma and even better flavor. But whats a meal without a good dessert, Sonny’s banana pudding hits the spot.

The Environment

Although the food speaks for its self the decor of the restaurant also adds to the experience. It’s decorated with the signature red and white, picnic style tablecloths that draws you in. All large scaled meals are served on trash can tops which was one thing that grabs your attention. One of the main things that people pay attention to is customer service. While being waited on at Sonny’s you never have to worry about encountering a rude waiter. Which is not always the case in a restaurant.
