Message from Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q
At Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q, you'll always enjoy authentic Southern barbecue at its best--always tender, always juicy. Over the years, Sonny's has added specialties, such as sweet and smoky barbecue ribs, hand-pulled pork and tender fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. Sonny's barbecue is prepared the old-fashioned way with a hardwood smoker then served up fast and friendly just like the old days. But great barbecue isn't the only reason folks stop by. You'll also find a relaxed atmosphere and a warm smile every time you come in. We've been pleasing customers since 1968 and perhaps that's why we're America's largest barbecue chain with more than 150 restaurants operating in nine Southeastern states. Whether dining in, ordering takeout or letting us cater your next event, one thing's for sure--we're going to make you feel good!

A common roadside stop, Sonny's offers low prices and barbecue; roomy booths, wagon-wheel chandeliers and homey craft art are the standard dining room decor. House barbecue sauce, available sweet, regular or hot, spices up large helpings of smoked beef, pork, chicken, turkey and ribs. Sides like fresh fried okra, onion rings and barbecue beans complement the entrees.

NOT WORTH THE EFFORT
by Anonymous
Tried twice to eat there but both times found the hostess apathetic, service slow and food cold. Will not be back. If BBQ is your thing, try Dreamland or Saucy Q. Both are outstanding!

Burnt food, good service
by rudelle777
The meat is always overcooked. The manager even tried to find us ribs that were not burnt and was not able to.
Pros: Always a place to sit
Cons: Food overcooked
