"First time stopping in to Sonney 's. Food was spectacular and the place has a great vibe. I had the Combo Platter w/ brisket, beef ribs, loaded baked potato, side salad and jalapeño cornbread! So much food...definitely could share this between two people easily. My only reason from dropping this down from 5 to 4 stars was the hostess that sat us. She was less then friendly and never asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. She just grabbed a couple menus and said this way ...led us to a table put the menus down and walked off. I watched her do this with a few other parties as they arrived also. Maybe she was just having a bad day but that first impression goes a long way. Other than that the staff were wonderful. Our waiter was great! For the food the ribs were pretty good...not overly meaty but decent. The brisket was perfect and the baked potato was a good size without being too large. Nice little side salad and a great jalapeño cornbread. They have four different bbq sauces at your table; a Carolina sauce, a sweet smoky sauce, the Original sauce and something they call the Burn Your Butt sauce (I stayed away from that one!! . My other recommendation would be to request no sauce on your meats. They came with some sauce on them but I would prefer to try the different sauces without mixing them together. Will be eating leftovers for a couple days. Again I recommend sharing a platter unless you are very hungry or want lots of leftovers!!!"

"We weren't able to sit outside, but that wasn't a huge surprise at 6:00 on a Thursday night. Jen was our server and was also bartending, so she was really busy. But she was attentive and informative and did a great job. I'll add that I messaged the restaurant in the morning to see about a reservation and was told they don't take them, but was also told we'd have no problem getting a table outside for dinner. I believe the wait for outdoor seating was around an hour when we got there, so we opted for a window booth inside. So be advised, send someone early for a table if you're dead set on eating outside. She recommended the rigatoni, which is a house specialty, as well as the fish tacos. She also said the burgers were still good. Two in our group had the rigatoni and agreed that it was great. I had the fish tacos and sweet potato fries and really enjoyed both. The 4th in our group had a burger and truffle fries, and said the burger was good and the truffle fries were the best he'd ever had. The food wasn't hot, but wasn't cold either. I could see where someone might complain, but our group understands the current climate in the service industry and doesn't get bent about things like that. The flavors and quality were above average, so no bad marks for food taking a little longer and not being piping hot when it hit the table. It seems like they've put a lot of work into cleaning the place up and making more room for seats. The colors and decor seem brighter than before. All in all it was a great casual dinner experience and I'm sure we'll go back. The menu has some really good looking new options we'd like to explore."
