Our party of five (seniors) had a great time here. The margarita flight was delightful with wonderful flavors to choose from. And, the loaded tots are shareable and delish! We enjoyed the Southern Jam burgers. Our waitress, Lindsey, took such good care of us. The live music want going but if worried about loud music, you can ask to be seated away from it. This is such a cool place. We will go back when it’s not so hot to enjoy sitting on the patio!

Hello. The Caesar salads we had were delicious!! We loved the steak it was so tender. The music however was way too loud for a Sunday afternoon. We couldn’t speak to one another so we just left as soon as we finished our salads.

Hi there, Jane! Glad to hear you enjoyed your food! Sorry to hear the music was too loud for you. We do have DJs from 1-6 on Sundays - but try to monitor the sound so our guests are comfortable. Sorry this wasn't the case when you visited. We hope you will give us another shot! Thanks again.

Fun if you are looking for a party vibe but no way you can hear anyone even next to you at 6 pm. Didn’t realize this is the type of restaurant I booked for dinner. Lots of tvs and food was good but only would return if I wanted a party vibe

The place was a new experience, wasn't sure what vibes to expect. Its perfect for rowdy fun with your friends with the plus of being casual enough for a well behaved dog. Service leaves a bit to be desired though, the staff's friendly but not attentive. Was there a little over an hour and my water glass was never refilled or even offered. I tipped cause I'm a bit programmed that way, but not a place u wanna go for service. It's more for fun as long as you are occupied with good company, the service quality will be an annoyance but not a deal breaker.

It’s bar food. It’s not upscale bar food or well-executed bar food. It’s just mediocre bar food. Sonny’s is probably a pretty cool neighborhood hang out for locals who want a casual place to hang out, but it’s certainly not a destination to go for.

I was extremely concerned with the number of dogs in the common area, two which were sitting at the bar with their owners. There is an outdoor patio, which would seem more reasonable, so that pet hair is not floating around on guests’ food. Another annoyance that my party and I witnessed was the number of waitresses, who petted the fur babies, went to retrieve our food and brought it back without washing their hands. Lastly, I booked the reservation for a birthday brunch and was impressed with the photos on the booking app but when we got there, the menu was limited to nearly none of those items and mainly included a pancake social. Overall, the vibe was nice.

Overall we had a great time and the food was very good. The brisket sandwich was awesome. Three of us ordered the cucumber side salad and we didn't like it at all. My biggest issue is that I like dark beer and they don't have any. Their darkest beer is what I would call medium. That won't stop me from going back though.

My wife and I had a wonderful evening sipping margaritas and listening to the music. This is a great casual venue, sort of like a great neighborhood pub. It’s large enough to move around so if the band is really rocking, you can get away from it, enjoy the music but still carry on a conversation. Corn hole also was a nice diversion. We really enjoyed ourselves.
