I've eaten in Sonny's a few times while traveling around FL, and found it to be OK food, but, for the one's I visited, the buildings themselves were in kind of disrepair - they were old and did not appear to be very well taken care of. There's one o 301 going north aways that should maybe be condemned. Gave me a sense their target audience was, shall we say, the more traditional FL native - pick-up trucks, cow-boy boots, etc, etc (hope I don't offend anyone). But in a way, that's part of their charm.

Oakwood generally has better food, and the restaurant is in good shape. A very good meal for those times I crave BBQ. But Oakwood would lose putting in an alternate location so close to the original. They'd be competing against themselves.

The prospect of Sonny's decent food in what I'd consider an "upscale" location (for Sonny's) is intriguing. If they can provide their usually quick service and decent food, in the higher-quality ambience of an "in town" eatery, it could be a winner.

Where have you been? This was hashed over and over. Even todays Daily Sun has an update that Sonny's will be opening in mid May.
