The inside looks modern and up to date with the times after the remodel, the staff was MORE than polite. A very attentive and professional group, on top of every person I spoke being polite and well spoken in it self deserves an A+.
The food was fresh and hot, a tad bit of a wait but it was well worth it. Each item was as described on the menu and my overall experience was bussin’

Sonny’s BBQ in Richmond, KY delivers an outstanding BBQ experience every time. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and genuine smiles. The menu offers something for every BBQ lover, but what stands out even more is the exceptional service. Our server Mikayla M. truly made the meal memorable—she’s a superstar! Mikayla was attentive, upbeat, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, giving thoughtful recommendations and checking in just the right amount. Our drinks stayed filled, and all our requests were handled with a friendly attitude that went above and beyond.
The food itself was delicious—slow-smoked brisket and pulled pork that were both tender and full of flavor, with a generous selection of house-made sauces to try. Sides like the baked beans and signature garlic toast complemented everything perfectly. The portions were hearty, and the prices were reasonable for the quality you receive.
The restaurant was clean, the vibe was relaxed, and everything came out fresh and exactly as ordered. Whether you’re a longtime fan or it’s your first time, Sonny’s BBQ in Richmond is a must-visit, and if you’re lucky enough to have Mikayla M. as your server, you’re guaranteed an exceptional dining experience. Five stars all the way!

I placed an online order for the pick two combination with ribs, pulled chicken, green beans & potato salad. Upon arrival to pick up, I went to the drive thru where I was instructed to go to a curbside spot. When I called the number, someone suggested that I walk in to pick it up instead of waiting a few extra minutes. I was put off by the way she suggested it because it’s not alright to assume that someone is physically capable of doing that.
As far as the food goes, as soon as I opened the container I could tell the ribs were dry and had probably been sitting out pre-cut for a while. My garlic bread was also stale and hard to even tear apart.

We ordered the half chicken and it did not disappoint. The skin was tight and crispy, while the meat inside was tender and juicy—exactly how BBQ chicken should be.
The ribs were wonderful: flavorful, well-cooked, and satisfying. The sides really rounded out the meal—the mac & cheese was creamy and comforting, the pork beans had great depth and smokiness, and the cornbread was just right—soft, & balanced
Overall, a solid BBQ meal with well-executed meats and classic sides done right.

The food was ok/ average. The potato was good and hit thw nac n cheese warmnbut mynmeat was a little cool but on the bright side was brought out extremely fast. The coke was apparently low on syrup but atill drinkable The waitress walked by about 3 minutes at the most after serving our food and asked my boyfriend if he wanted a refill on his drink. He replied yes please. She then asked if he would like it in a to go cup. At this point I had fixed my potato (the only hot thing on the plate) and had only taken 1 bite of my food which made me look up real fast in confusion wondering if theybwere about to close and apparently my boyfriend tooknit the same way that we got there too late and they were pushing us out. But we still had an hour and a half till clise like we thought. While wr ate thebwaitresses wete sweeping undet all yhe boths justbaround us and at 1 point boxed ne in eith another booth seat acrosss the isle while she swept under it. I can appreciate the cleaning but don’t only donitbaround rhe only 2 customers in the place while theybare eating amd especially dont box them in their booth to do so. Well the to go cup was apparently a good idea since it didn’t arrive till after getting our check and he was finished eating for several minutes and it was all carbonation at that point not much syrup to it. When she brought the bill she said I can just ake it now He hadnt even looked at it yet and I was still eating so he rushed to get his wallet out while she stood there staring at him waiting for hin to get his mine out. The bill was about 43 I believe and he handed her a hundred because he wasn’t sure how much it was and ahe was standing there waiting . She the n said donyounneed change? The bill was under $50 im not sure why she thought she would get a $50 tip but im not sure if ill be returning to this place

Took my Son here for his birthday today. The server was great and very friendly. We got the egg rolls and the smoked wings as an appetizer and they were fantastic! My son ordered sliced brisket and I ordered the pick 3 meats and got pulled pork, jalapeño smoked sausage, and dry rub ribs. All of the meat was extremely dry. My sons brisket was so dry, there was no juice in the meat at all. Our two entrees were comped as we didnt eat them. Not sure we will return, food seems to be going down hill for me.

I’ve been coming to Sonny’s BBQ for years, usually on Sundays with a big group of family and friends, and I’ve never had a server quite like Sara. She is hands down the best server I’ve ever had here. From the start, she was so kind and welcoming, and she handled our large group with ease. She was attentive without ever being overbearing, always made sure we had everything we needed, and even gave us great recommendations. What really stood out was how sweet and genuinely caring she was it felt like she truly wanted us to have the best experience possible. Managing a big table isn’t easy, but she went above and beyond to make it effortless. I can honestly say Sara has made our visits to Sonny’s even more enjoyable, and I’d highly recommend asking for her if you want the best service around. It’s rare to find someone who consistently gives that level of attention and service, and she truly made us feel taken care of .
