It is very important to me to know if this Sonny's will smoke their own meat or use pre-cooked meat, and just re-heat it. I do not see any sign of a smoker anywhere around the building. Not all of the Sonny's cook it's own meat. The Sonny's in Bellview cooks it's own.

Good question. A lot of bbq chains smoke their meats in central locations, and then many of their restaurants re-heat and serve the meat from the locations which smoked the meat.

Does Sonny's in Leesburg cook their own?

Can't answer 100%, but several weeks ago, while at Too Jay's, it looked like a huge smoking unit was being moved into the building. They had the street blocked while they unloaded it. If it wasn't a smoker, I can't image what it was. With that said, I'm not an expert on restaurant equipment.

Default I got spoiled

I got very spoiled on what I felt was the best BBQ in the world... Sconyer's in Augusta, Ga. The place became so popular I believe the owner ultimately became Mayor of Augusta. Anyone else ever eat there?

Just got back from having lunch at the new Sonny's. They were doing a practice session prior to opening officially tomorrow, Friday the 29th. Everything was great and the staff were excited. We asked our server whether they cooked everything here or at a central location and she said that it was all done in the restaurant including the smoking and the baking of biscuits and desserts.

We'll be back.
