Default Sonny's BBQ - In The Villages

At last, Sonny's is about to bite the bullet and put in a Salad Bar. Should be up and running in about 2 weeks. Won't have to run to Leesburg anymore!

Great now if they would do something to improve the Bar-B-Q

Must be a personal thing because I like their Bar-B-Q - ribs, chicken, pulled pork and roast beef sandwiches. What's not to like?

I have to agree w Caveman on this. I think Sonny's BBQ was great. But I'm from Pennsylvania so I might not be the best judge for BBQ.

I'm with you zcaveman.

Last trip down my wife and I ate at Sonny's and had their smoked beef brisket. We thought it was great! We even went back two days later and had the same thing again.

I am glad to hear about the salad bar though.

My wife and I love our BBQ. We occasionally make a pilgrimage to Memphis for the three B's....Barbecue, Beer and Blues. We ate at Sonny's in LSL a few weeks ago and we both thought the brisket was as good as it got!!!

Wife and I loved the brisket and with the senior discount it was a excellent lunch. How can you beat lunch for two including beverage and tip for under $15.

Salad bar is coming in a few weeks

I am a Sonny's fan

We just returned from eating at Sonnys and my wife was not real happy with her baby back ribs.
Everything we had was good, but for a full slab of ribs it was real small. We spoke to the manager about it and he was not very informative about things. The waitress said she spoke with the kitchen help and they confirmed that they are now a smaller sized slab.
The manager said something about the half slabs being portioned at 1/2 lb and a full slab at 3/4lb......................he needs to take another math class.
Are they trying to save money during the summer?

Just had a 1/2 slab dinner as take-out. There were 8 ribs, seemed like what I usually get.

Hey Brostholder, wife and I were in Memphis last month and took the Pink Cadillac Limo ride from Graceland to Marlows for great Barbeque. Is that where you go? In TV, we go to Sunny's.

Just curious - how could they portion a rack? It's not like it's a steak and they can trim and use the cuttings for hamburg. A 1/2 rack is 7-8 ribs and a full rack is 15-16 ribs.

Are you saying that they buy smaller racks that weigh less?
