“ Building is nice, simple, and spacious. I like the color scheme...gives you the full effect. The food was good. I enjoyed the potato salad most. The broccoli was plain and maybe could have gone a little longer. The chicken could have gone longer as well, for sight's sake. Ashley was my server both times. She is pleasant and helpful. ”
“ This was our first time visiting and Tara was very polite and punctual. She made sure we had refills if needed and had an outstanding personality. She was very knowledgeable of the menu. She was very patient with us as my sister and I couldn’t make up our minds as to what we wanted to eat. We will request her as our server the next time we go. The food was very delicious. ”

“ Sonny's BBQ was clean, fast and friendly, our waitress was Hursh. The food was the best bar b que (smoked) in Louisiana that I have eaten at. We had the baby back ribs, chopped pork, brisket with fried okra, coleslaw slaw and baked beans. The bread was outstanding. The water was in an extra large glass, I loved that! My favorite was the brisket and second was the ribs. I recommend this place, excellent! They have been open since July 2024. ”
“ If you love real, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth barbecue, then Sonny’s BBQ in Gonzales is the place to be! From the moment I walked in, the smell of slow-cooked perfection filled the air, and I knew I was in for something special. Let’s get right to it—the brisket was out of this world! Tender, juicy, and packed with that deep, smoky flavor that only comes from true low-and-slow cooking. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. And don’t stop at just the brisket—do yourself a favor and try ALL the appetizers. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. From the loaded nachos to the crispy fried pickles and the perfectly smoked wings, every single appetizer was a hit. It’s the best way to start your meal before diving into their legendary BBQ. The service was just as great as the food—friendly, fast, and made me feel right at home. Sonny’s BBQ is a must-visit for any barbecue lover, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. ”
