Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q (Titusville, FL)

Kyle's Order: Sliced Beef Lunch w/ Fries, Sweet Potato, and Garlic Bread ($6.49)
Doop's Order: Sliced Pork lunch w/ Garlic Bread, Beans, Coleslaw, and Sweet Tea ($8.34)


Kyle's Take: The Sonny's franchise has been blowing up all across the southern states for a number of years now. If you're anything like me, you are not a big fan of "chain" restaurants but everyone deserves a shot right?. I've been to Sonny's so many times I could rate it strictly from memory. Which is exactly what I'll do. They do have it down to a science. The menu is constantly changing to draw in more and more customers, service is usually pretty quick, and they have perfected the drive-thru. The place is always packed. However, I'm going to credit Sonny's success to one thing......the sauce. Even though they are a chain, their sauce is some of the best I've tasted. Hot & Spicy, Mild, Sweet, and Sizzlin' Sweet. (That last one I think they created just for me.) I usually just soak my entire plate in their sauce. Perhaps there's something addictive in it.
Doop's Take: Well, we did it again. We went to another chain restaurant, but this was different, in my opinion. This was probably my fifth time going to Sonny's so it is still kind of new to me. Unlike most places we've been to, I didn't notice the BBQ smell outside. We went inside and it does not give off that BBQ homestyle vibe. It's a little spacious if you ask me. When we sat down, i noticed there wasn't that much leg room under the table. I ordered the sliced pork and thought it was going to come as a sandwich form, but it didn't. I managed to make a sandwich out of what i had, but it was alright. The garlic bread was a little too oily for me and it didn't really taste like garlic bread. The coleslaw was your regular coleslaw that you would get at Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the beans were good, i might add. The sweet tea was good, it was sweet, but not that really sweet that makes it disgusting. They had four kinds of sauces. Mild, Sweet, Sizzlin' Sweet, and Smokin'. The Sweet and Sizzlin' sweet tasted the same, actually, I believe if you were to do a blind taste test, you probably would not taste the difference. The smokin' had a little kick to it, but compared to other sauces i've had, it wasn't all that smokin' I would say the mild was the best. Nothing too extravagant, but it was good. Also, if you are from the area of Titusville, you are bound to run into someone at Sonny's, so if you are feeling some BBQ and can't find authentic BBQ place, Sonny's is the next best thing.

Kyle's Beef: My sweet potato was....wimpy at best.
Doop's Beef: I would say about the only thing i was disappointed about was the leg room under the table.

Kyle's Rating:7/10...all sauce
Doop's Rating:6/10
