We have eaten there (Sonnys) a few times, mostly good. If not then instead of an insert here, write a letter or call them from home, they will put you in the ledger and as with us, next time we got half prices, a good deal. Any restaurant cannot be perfect, they have cooks, chefs who take a day or week off and so it can be a real shocker. Also, if you are served something not good or cold, just tell the manager and then leave, you will find he/she will probably meet you at the door with a freebee to help.
TooJays did that, but they have really gone downhill for some reason. Got burned three times in a row.

Texas Stockyards puts both Sonny's and Oakwood to shame.

Quality? Many on here got upset when CiCi's closed down. LOL!

However, it is a hands down winner that Sonnys has the best pulled pork.

Their senior lunch special cannot be beat by anyone!

Sonnys will be around The Villages for years to come.

Absolutely right. There's a reason they are so successful at locations all over Florida.

Seriously?!

When my son was in college, he introduced me to CiCi's.

Even he said the food pretty much sucked, but it was cheap and all you could eat which for a still growing college kid is all that counted.

Woody's in Wildwood has really good bbq also. Sonny's 👎 is just so blah anymore. You can only put enough sauce on it to try and make it taste better.

In my OP #1 , I just used the title "Sonnys". I didn't want a negative headline showing forever. I was hoping that my post about my negative experience would produce some rational discussion. For the most part this has happened. It looks like the Pulled Pork might have been a better experience for me and my family. We have only tried the ribs over the three visits in 5 years. Each time the meal was bad -ribs, corn bread, and corn. For me , ribs are Oakwood , with a lesser choice being Woodys

I can't comment on the food. We went once about three years ago and waited over 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge our existence...and we were sitting at the bar. Never been back, never plan to.

You waited one time 3 years ago and you're never going again? Maybe the bartender had something bad going on their life and was having a very rough day. You could have told him/her what you wanted.

We liked Sonny's ok until we tried Oakwood. While we generally choose golf cart-able, every time we do get in the car, we are going to stop at either Oakwood,for BBQ or Sam's St. John's for seafood! Oh,occasionally, Eaton's Beach, but that's been pretty bad on last two visits!

Got the Ribs and again they were tasteless , mealy and generally poorly prepared. Corn on the cob was mushy, corn bread , tasteless and pasty. How does this place stay open?

Thanks for the info.I too have stayed away for the reasons you stated but was considering trying again. You just saved me some money.
