This place has a lot of character… and a bit of a funny smell. It’s in what looks like a really old, run-down house, but… that didn’t stop us from enjoying the food. The half muffuletta was delicious and large enough for four people! It’s served on parmesan crusted bread and filled with the traditional meats, cheese, and olive spread. The cheese fries were pretty good. The menu states that it may take a while to get your food since it is made to order, but it wasn’t crowded when we went at lunchtime on a weekday, so it didn’t take very long at all. Service was good. What it lacks in ambiance it makes up for in flavor. We would like to go back and try some of the other dishes.

The atmosphere is exactly what I expected with an old school diner feel, even with the old school smell. Cool looking old school cash register up at the counter.
The service was great. The gumbo was not to my liking at all, with maybe 3 dry shrimp and sausage that had tasted like it was warming for days. Very fishy taste and alot of tomatoes. Not my style at all.
The muffaletta was was decent and heavy on the olive. I like that but the wife didn’t. Over all feel is cool to dine in a place that old but the gumbo needs serious help.
Kinda disappointed
Response to I guess the owner. I don’t know what your talking about in reference to friends. Just giving a honest review. You can see I rate many places also and I don’t care who knows who. I have traveled the world and this is something that I like doing it trying different places. To be honest I had high expectations of this place. Just not much cup of tea. Im sorry you are upset with this review, but if you fix this gumbo I will come by and give you a better review if it’s better.

Hubby and I had dinner here on a Saturday night. Our waitress was friendly. We got a cheeseburger and fries, quarter grilled muffaletta and cup of soup with 2 alcohol drinks and it was about 55 bucks. The chili was decent. My husband said his burger was really good. The muffaletta was the best I’ve ever eaten and I’ve tried them everywhere including a bunch in Nola. I’d say it was a little pricey but I’ll still be going back especially for that muffaletta

We had a great burger and fries at Sonny’s place. This place has been around since 1944. Service was great with lots of interesting pictures on the walls.

Recently stopped in Central Grocery & Deli in New Orleans (home of the ORIGINAL muffaletta) to pickup a muffaletta. Its really good but Sonny’s makes it better. Especially the baked one……so awesome!

My review is based off delivery. I did not experience the place in person. My review is on the spaghetti. Very pricey for cafeteria quality. I question the bread as it has a weird smell to it. I am not a foodie by any means and being a veteran, I pretty much will eat anything. But this fell short. Be a different story if the plate was half priced. I’m sure the other food is better but I would not recommend the spaghetti.

I love these kind of places, man. Low key, normal, regular people kind of stuff, dude. The guy made us Hurricanes. He didn’t have to, but he did. One thing – the cheese on the cheese fries needs a little work, and the bright fluorescent lights kind of killed it – some warm lighting would rock it. Other than that, we really enjoyed our burger and hanging around talking the bull crap, ayy. Good people here. They made us feel very welcomed and the prices were better than reasonable. Long live Sonny’s.

A true “neighborhood” bar and grill. A left over relic from the olden days. A bit off the mainstream roadways but worth it. Building has seen better days for sure. But the food was great. I am telling ya it was good. Bread was soft, not to thick, ingredients portioned just right, not sloppy, just the right amount of dressing. French fries were golden and hot. Looking at all the old photos you can see the love staff and residents have for each other. This fat boy went home with half a grilled muffuletta for two more meals. Honestly say the amount of food for the money was worth it. I even tossed a 5 into the old fashioned jukebox to listen to Some Patsy Cline, Elvis, Johnny Cash and others. No modern trash in that jukebox.

Sonny’s Place is one of those classic spots you’re always glad you stopped at. The food is delicious, portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere has that warm, old-school charm—colorful, inviting, and perfect for relaxing with family or friends. Staff is friendly and the service is fast. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the area. I’ll be coming back for sure!
