While I think that Sonny's is typically marginal at best ...... Sonny Tillman founded his chain of restaurants in Gainesville, Fl in the late 60's ...... not sure how it could be more "Southern" than that.
BBQ varies (sometimes wildly) within a very small geographic area. Carolina bbq is different than Memphis and Alabama is different than both of them ..... yet all of them are within the "south"
