| - Sonny's is the pinnacle of great BBQ. While the atmosphere of the restaurant is a little...lame (I've been to 2 Sonny's--Tyvola Rd and South Blvd), the food and service more than makes up for it.
While I will forever be a pulled-pork girl, I have also had their sliced pork, and that was also delicious. The chicken is pretty darn tasty too! And I recommend the garlic bread for your sandwich--it is absolutely great! In terms of sauce, I like the Sizzlin' Sweet. It's got a great kick, but isn't overwhelmingly spicy.
In terms of sides:
Corn on the cob (had it twice): Soggy and pretty flavorless.
Sweet Potato is good--really soft and moist and delicious. I do not, however, recommend the cinnamon spread that they serve with it--just use butter.
Baked BBQ beans: good, very thick and saucy.
Potato salad: good.
Coleslaw: eh. I'm not a huge slaw fan anyways, but this one does not stand out as one of the better ones I've had.
Cornbread: great.
String beans: soggy, but good.
The service has always been spectacular when I've been there, even when they're busy. My husband always gets the "All You Can Eat" meals, and they are quick with replenishments when he wants them. Pricing is also very good. You can get a lot of food for under $10, and leave feeling very satisfied.
