We were not blown away by Sonny's on a recent visit, but clearly lots of families seem to like it because the place gets busy. The portions were average size, but the quality was below par -- I mean how can you ruin corn -- but ours was a plate of mushy, watery cobs! Food was just generally too soft... more

I am a BBQ snob. I love the florida style of BBQ (smoked, with sauce on the side) and Sonny's does a very good job of it. The sliced BBQ Pork sandwich will knock you out.

A trip to Amelia Island is not complete without a meal from Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q. Food and service is excellent and if you go away hungry, it's your own fault. I only wish Sonny's would venture into the Pennsylvania area but then again, this gives us a good reason to stay on Amelia Island. Highly recommended if you like... more
