I didn't write that. Someone didn't know how to paste a message.

I enjoyed their $6 pork big deal today (sandwich, side and drink). After telling the waitress how much I liked it she said the restaurant is closing on May 14.
I drove by there yesterday around 4:30 and the outside bar area was totally packed. Maybe people are taking advantage before they are gone. Probably was mostly drinking and not much rib action.

Snob much? I'd never step foot in an Olive Garden, but our go to for BBQ is Oakwood. Good ribs, chicken and burgers...

Yes, there are better mom and pop places just outside the bubble, but their hours are all wonky, and pretty much every time we want to patronize them, they're closed...

M&M (near 44 and 75) is quite good. But like I said in a previous post, they have weird hours...

We went to Sonny's twice. The food was average (at best) and the place was empty, both times. The waitstaff was nice, but we never saw a reason to return...

It has a large bar so it will not be empty for long.
I also miss their salad bar. I think more sonny's will close if not close all of them

Food is ok but sandwiches we find are rather skimpy. Willy Jewels has better brisket

There is another option for BBQ in LSL. This is an unpopular opinion but ......... I LOVE Cody's. They have the best Baby Back Ribs in the area. Yes, I have tried Oakwood ribs and Cody's is on parr if not better than Oakwood. Pass by Cody's and you will get the same aroma of BBQ as Sony's. I never thought Sonny's was all that great. Will not miss Sonny's.

Terrible.

:BigApplause:
Is that the way Cody's makes their ribs too?
