Reviews for Sonny's Real Pit BBQ
At the time I never went to a BBQ restaurant. When I went there it was so packed, I was with my family. We ordered a platter of ribs, which was very messy. The service was unlike what I expected. They had very classy crew members, and the establishment was clean.

I have eaten at many restaurants in the Marietta area, and none compare to Sonny's The food is always excellent, and the service is great too. They are located in an easily accessible shopping center near the Big Chicken and always pleasant service.

It's now 2008 and this Sonny's is probably the best in ATL. The GM really cares about the quality of food and takes a personal interest in every order. Their baby backs are second to none.
I spent 25 years in food service management and I would highly recommend this particular Sonny's.
Pros: Great baby backs and side dishes as well
Cons: Occasionally slow service but generally good

The food was the nastiest food I've had in a while. It was totally greasy, including the garlic bread, which sat in a puddle in the styrofoam container. The ribs (also extremely greasy) were so overcooked, they were black and hard, and my dog would not/could not eat them. In terms of value - what a rip! I paid $7.05 for 3 ribs, 2 pieces of bread, a tiny condiment-size cup of cole slaw, and a potato. Literally, the only edible part was the potato, even though it too, was overcooked.
Pros: Fast
Cons: Disgusting, Horrible, Rip-Off

Sonny's BBQ is a pitiful excuse for BBQ. It's honestly the worst BBQ there is in Atlanta. It's just sad, it smells so good and then you become horribly disappointed with the food. It's worse than cafeteria food and the beans taste like they use bad onions. It's just a shame.
