    Wife had salmon and loved it. I had the bone in ribeye and was a little disappointed in the flavor. Wasn’t much to it taste wise. The side portions were large. However, I love steaks and mine just wasn’t everything I hoped for. Im putting that I’d recommend to a friend simply because my wife loved it and maybe it was an off night with the steak.

    Cut and quality of steak was great, but over powered having your plate drenched in butter. The over use and butter and or cheese for menu items has a cheap chain feel.

    Excellent service and food. I was quite disappointed that there was no effort made to give us a cupcake or an anniversary dessert for our 20th Wedding anniversary which we were celebrating last night, 3-7-23. I made our reservation on Open Door. It had a place to put in Special Requests; which I did, asking for the above for our anniversary. I then went on to your Sonny William's restaurant website, again, requesting " something " for any kind of 20th-anniversary dessert, etc. When my waiter asked us for dessert, my wife asked for the creme brulee. I got one too. I thought our waiter, may, bring out an anniversary dessert then. But no. Our bill for the two of us was $230, which with a $30 tip, I paid $260 for a 20th Anniversary meal, with no anniversary dessert which I specifically asked for twice. Open Door and your website. Disappointing.

    I chose Sonny Williams’ for my birthday dinner this year. I have to say the experience was exactly as I imagined and hoped for. The ambiance promoted conversation with those at the table and not on the cell phone. The service was remarkable! A friend was late ordering and the service still managed to prepare her food so that it arrived with the rest of the party! The food, where do I begin! I had the lamb chops, AMAZING! My friends had the filets and ribeyes and weren’t disappointed at all. All the way down to the sides, everything was divine!! I will definitely be dining here again! 10/10

    My reservation was at 8:15. We didn’t get our food until well after 930. Once I got my food it wasn’t right, we ordered a drink and we had to send it back because it wasn’t right. Overall disappointing for what I’ve gotten to expect from Sonny Williams.

    Best steak and wedge salad of all Little Rock restaurants. We love the piano man who has played there for twenty years. His repertoire of music includes all our favorites. Service can be as fast and efficient or as slow and drawn out (three hours) as you like. When our daughters and their husbands are home for a visit they all want to go to Sonny's for an evening.

    Our favorite steak house in LR..Celebrated Wifes Birthday and always pick Sonny Williams. She had a filet and I always go for the ribeye as I can get 3 meals out of it. Sides were wonderful also, plus the helped celebrate with a nice brownie and ice cream with Happy Birthday written on it. Alex was terrific, always there and pleasant to deal with.

    We ordered four Medium Rare steaks and all came out medium well with significant char. We sent back one steak because it was no where near the temperature we requested and the next steak wasn’t much better. To spend that kind of money on a steak, you should be able to expect near perfection on the temperature. It was a good time with friends, but the value of the meal did not meet our expectations.

    Service was fantastic. Attentive enough so nothing ever needed while still allowing privacy for personal conversation. Background piano music was quite enjoyable and not overpowering. The food was outstanding. They promote "no small steaks" and that is an understatement. Cooked to perfection - as always. If you've never been, treat yourselves and have an enjoyable evening.

    I just moved here, to LR, from a major city 6 months ago. Since being here I've tried all of the steakhouses because I love a good high quality steak and seafood. By far, Sonny Williams has the best steaks and seafood in town. The quality and presentation of the food and service meets or exceeds my expectation every time. Another thing, the valet guys are soooo nice!!!!! I just love them.
