Went this weekend and it was packed. Surprised us for the location but it obviously still gets a great business. Kind of like the Frank’s on Airline.

Sonny's Mild BBQ sauce and Sweet BBQ sauce are something else. I also like their baby-backs and redneck eggrolls.

I enjoy Sonnys. It’s chain bbq, so don’t expect it to be amazing. It’s never going to be “the best”. But, it’s a good meal at a good price and a comfortable atmosphere.

It's an old building in a dying part of town but I'll be damned if it isn't packed M-F for lunch. The best thing that happened to them was the 2016 flood which allowed them to remodel with insurance money.

It's solid food, not award winning but it has withstood the test of time while many other BBQ joints have come and gone.

The sliced pork is amazing.

I miss the pre flood salad bar and vibe of the place. A lot of good meals were had in that dusty dining room.

It’s been solid for 40 years.

There are usually one or two beside the road BBQ places that do a very good job with limited visual appeal.

I had a friend in Jackson years back who knocked the ball out of the park every day. He had a big (huge) smoker under a metal roof beside a Mennonite built storage building and a picnic table under an awning on the opposite side of his hut.

He was printing money and then got throat cancer one day and was dead in six months. HIs rig disappeared. I guess someone bought it and moved it somewhere else, to another empty lot beside a county road.

When I went to his funeral, I thought the body displayed in the casket smelled a little like smoked Pork.

Love it. I usually go for the AYCE dry rub ribs, served with multiple sides and Texas toast for like 15 bucks. I do miss the salad bar, though.
