I was concerned when I saw fire engines and emergency personnel parked around Sonny's the first afternoon of my latest visit. When I saw more fire engines (the same?) the next day, it dawned on my thick skull that they were EATING at Sonny's, not responding to emergency. OK, when I saw them there the third day I promised myself to have lunch there the following day. Yup, good stuff. Killer, meat falling off the bone, ribs. Juicy pulled pork. Decent kid's burgers. Lots of fried stuff--fries, onion rings, okra. Had them all and love them all. If you get lucky and show up on a day with the lunch special being baby back ribs, count your blessings and put away the menu.
Oh yeah, Sonny's is a chain with locations throughout Florida (all the way up to Fernandina Beach). Not sure if they are out-of-Florida.
