Good food except one in our party got the pulled pork sandwich and got a hard end piece. Really, the cook had to use it ---- food is good; however, don't count on good service. We had a rude, crude, bar maid with a tank top and lots of tattoos wait on us -- she bragged she works 60 hours a week. She took our order and we never saw her again. Would have liked a few more drinks. Once again, food is good ---- service is horrible.

Horrible for groups and a horrible experience with the owner!!! Wow, that was an experience. The owner (Sonney) is beyond rude and awful to his clients and staff. I have been to Sonney's several times in the past and liked it so I decided to book in advance a party for 40 people after a hockey tournament. (20 adults and 20 kids) They told us we needed to do a buffet so we chose items for the buffet in advance (we agreed on ribs, brisket, pulled pork sliders, and a hamburger station...plus 4 sides...since I had no idea what my guests would eat) They charged $18 per kid and $35 per adult. (NOT INCLUDING TAX AND TIP) For some reason Sonney decided that all of the children were supposed to have hamburgers (I NEVER told him this and if I had I would not have agreed to the $18 per kid since the kids burger on the menu is only $10!!...not the $18 he charged us) and he was very angry when only eight kids ordered them and other kids had ribs. He came to the dining room and started yelling at me in front of all of our guests about the kids eating ribs which were $24 a rack (including 3 sides on the menu and keep in mind he was charging us $35 a person for a NON ALL YOU CAN EAT buffet) truthfully with the 40 people that we had including the children our total if all of us ordered a rack of ribs and all of the side dishes.....would've been $960....soda would have been maybe an extra $50. We ended up spending over $1300 there just on food and soda....and on an extremely off time of the day 4-6 pm on a Sunday (they asked us to come at a slow time so we did not hurt their regular business and I happily understood and obliged). When I looked at the adult plates they had one...maybe two ribs on their plates at the most...if any and it was not like we were eating a ton of ribs in the first place.



I have never had an owner of a company come out and fight with me in front of all of the people that were eating with us it was extremely upsetting and I had to hold back every tear. I was very shaken up and many of our guests were talking about it and shocked that I would be treated so horribly.

Almost..

We tried this place on a Sunday afternoon. No wait at all. They have collard greens AND they were good. The BBQ sauce itself is very good. Unfortunately, the pork ribs were like rubber. I'll go back to try the chicken or pulled pork and for the greens. The service was excellent, though I was initially met with a puzzled look when I asked for pepper vinegar.:)
