Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q

Welcome to "Feel Good Bar-B-Q"

  • Smoked slow, served fast
  • Takeout and Catering
  • Order barbecue sauces

At Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q, you'll always enjoy authentic Southern barbecue at its best--always tender, always juicy. Over the years, Sonny's has added specialties, such as sweet and smoky barbecue ribs, hand-pulled pork and tender fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. Sonny's barbecue is prepared the old-fashioned way with a hardwood smoker then served up fast and friendly just like the old days.

But great barbecue isn't the only reason folks stop by. You'll also find a relaxed atmosphere and a warm smile every time you come in. We've been pleasing customers since 1968 and perhaps that's why we're America's largest barbecue chain with more than 150 restaurants operating in nine Southeastern states. Whether dining in, ordering takeout or letting us cater your next event, one thing's for sure--we're going to make you feel good!

Editorial Review for Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q – by Sara Levy

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.

I have been to the restaurant and the food was good, however I would like to know if anyone has used their catering service and if so, how was your experience. What did you like and what did you dislike? My daughter has an upcoming wedding and I really want everything to be perfect. Anyone have a catering review to post?

Pros: Food came fast.

Cons: Did not have any complaints.

Tried Sonny's on a friend's recommendation... Liked the ribs very much, and the sides were plentiful. The staff was super-friendly. The restaurant is AWESOME to be non-smoking!! Perhaps needed a little more attention to the clean-up detail after table service but it was a pretty busy evening there. Will definitely return.
