I noticed that too. I don't usually have the salad bar at Sonny's so it doesn't bother me so much that the LSL restaurant doesn't have one. I do love the bar, however, at the LSL Sonny's. It adds a very nice ambiance.

sonny's isn't bad....Oakwood is better!

Myself and 3 friends were given coupons for a free domestic draft with a purchase of a sandwich. We golfed at Mallory and went there for lunch, we all ordered a sandwich and presented our coupons for a free domestic draft and requested Yuengling. We were told we can't have Yuengling. I reminded her it's a domestic beer and also the oldest brewery in USA. We asked to talk to the manager and he told our server he was too busy to deal with us. Mind you this was our first and last visit to Sonnys. Maybe that attitude is why it was 1/2 empty at 12:30.

Maybe MelZ can relate this story to Ken Kirkpatrick. (Now if he would have said "I'm busy but give them the Yuengling" it would have been okay.) I know Dick Yuengling, I still think he's making suds in the USA.

Oh, I thought you were going to say, "I know Dick Yuengling and the manager of Sonny's is no Dick Yuengling".

For those who question why it is hard for restaurants to make it in TV, maybe this attitude will give a clue. Attitude cannot be blamed on high rent, etc. It's a "people problem".

P.S. We just got home from Oakwood this afternoon....great food, great people! We did make one observation while we were there and thought it humorous, to say the least. The only "young" ones in there were the staff on shift and those just coming on shift. Everyone else was "senior".

In my last few visits to Oakwood and Sonny's, I have to say that Sonny's has the meatier ribs but Oakwood has the bigger and more tender pulled/chopped pork sandwiches. Oakwood also has bottles of the mustard based BBQ sauce and friendlier and more available waitresses. At Sonny's you always have to flag a waitress down unless you go to the booth where they congregate.

And I do like Sonny's. It is cart accesable.

You comment has been sent to Sonny's management.

We went to Oakwood last week and had a party of 18 so we had to wait a little bit for our table. A bunch of us were waiting by the bar in the corner where you can see the kitchen, after we were there for about 10 minutes one of the cooks brought us a slab of ribs all cut up for us to munch on while we waited for our table....that's how a good restaurant treats their patrons....gn

I feel embarrassed because I forgot the owners name at Oakwood. I'll bet half the time I go there the owner stops by our table and chats with us. I'll bet I've had 20 or more free deserts from the owners. That is the way to treat patrons . I always bring new customers to that place.

This is the ONLY Sonny's that does not have a Senior Special(Chicken $4.99 w/2 sides, or sweet & smokey ribs $6.99 from 3 to 5:00pm), when asked they said WHY in the Villages!!! We go to Leesburg Sonny's when heading south....Sonny's ribs are good but it is hard to beat Oakwoods.

Irish Guy:

Sonny's Management has confirmed to me that they have fixed any issues related to your problem.

I was having lunch at the LSL Sonny's. In the booth behind me

a meeting was going on between a Sonny's corporate mgr and

the local mgr. . They were talking about taking measurements

in the area where the "Salad Bar" was to be located. Looks like

the wishes of some posters are coming true.

Has anyone confirmed that Sonny's will be installing a Salad Bar? If so, what is the timeline?
