Sonny's Bbq - Bradenton

Eating was worse than terrible. pulled pork was in dry, hard pieces and cold when they scraped the bottom of the pan. the waitress was kind to bring a new record that also had problems. wings were cold and dried. we paid $50 for scrap. the prices have risen and the quality is the reason of the scrub. we will never throw our money back on sonny’s bbq in bradenton, fl or any other sonny’s bbq. what should be a special dinner, was absolutely ruined!

We drive 45 minutes to get here as this was the closest one to us in Riverview. The waitress was definitely busier than the others it seemed. She wasn't too friendly but that's fine.However when it came time to pay I showed her my birthday coupon and she turned unfriendly real quick. My husband utilized the coupon and apparently we got a sandwich that didn't apply to the birthday coupon. Does it say that in the email? No it doesn't. So she gives us flack saying the sandwich is too expensive for that coupon and she'll honor it just this one time. Like I shouldn't have to tell you I'm using a coupon. If I can only order specific items then it should say that. She also told us the sandwich was more expensive than the menu showed it was. But whatever she knows more than me, right?To top it off our food was pretty cooled down when we got it.She left a bad taste in my mouth. This location was dirty anyway. Nasty restrooms and the booth we sat in was terrible. They need to buy new cushions for these ripped up booths.We won't be back. This location is probably the worst I have ever eaten at.

Lively BBQ spot. The food was pretty good, the waitstaff was all over everything and responsive. The wings were juicy, would have been nice if shaken in a sauce. The original BBQ sauce is really good and worth a try. I’ll most likely go back for wings.

I know this is a favorite for all the local community. The service was good, with more take-out than eat-in. Had the ribs, slaw, and mac and cheese. Could taste flour in the mac and cheese. If you like your pork falling off the bone. This is your place. I like a little pull on mine, ribs. Didn't ask if they used any MSG, but my body said yes.

We used to have one in Port Charlotte but that one closed. Went to the fair and on the way me and the hubby decided we would get some on the way back.Great food and service. Love all there food. But the two appetizers you should try are the egg rolls and the corn nuggets. When you order just keep in mind it is a lot of food.
