What People Are Saying About Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q
Featured Review

Contributor
In Short – Owner Sonny Tillman has been serving the same Southern barbecue and fixings since 1968. 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.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Save room for the homemade banana pudding.
- The Extras:
- Sides--especially the fresh fried okra, onion rings and barbecue beans--are inexpensive and well-prepared.
The most GOD AWFUL Ribs I have ever tried eating
by NOPAYCHEK at Citysearch
My wife and I tried to eat at your establishment on 1/10/08. The ribs for two were undercooked and even when we asked for a sharp knife, we could not cut the meat from the bone. We returned almost half the plate uneaten. Ribs should fall off the bone. These did not. We will never eat at a Sonny's again. You got the name half right. The PITTS. Maybe Sonny should try the ribs at TEXAS ROADHOUSE, where the meat just falls off the bone and you can enjoy your meal instead of fighting with it.
I DO NOT recommend anyone eating at Sonny's Real Pit BBQ.
Quality, quality, quality

Sonny's is not a high end restaurant, but boy do they have quality. Not only is there chicken, ribs and pork fantastic, but their salad bar is a great value and one of the best. For those who enjoy a hearty salad and are on atkins, you can enjoy the meats with a very good salad bar. All fixings are fresh and area is always neat and clean. Excellent casual dinning!
- Pros: Inexpensive, Quality food, pleasent staff

best bbq around
by lovelymissm at Citysearch
my family travels an hour just to go to sonny's. we've never been disappointed - the corn nuggets, great salad bar, large selection of all you can eat dinners - everything has always been wonderful and the service is always friendly and good. my parents were frequenters of the original sonny's in gainesville and we have continued that tradition here in miami. we just wish one would open up closer to the airport area!!
- Pros: inexpensive, great food, good service
- Cons: so far away!
