Sonny's BBQ, Barbecue restaurant in Marianna, United States
Sonny's BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Marianna that smokes meat slowly over oak wood for hours to build flavor. The menu includes pulled pork, ribs, brisket, and sides prepared fresh daily in the traditional style.
The restaurant started in 1968 as a single location founded by Sonny Tillman and grew into a chain across multiple states. Throughout this expansion, the family kept the same slow-smoking methods that became the foundation of the business.
The place draws locals who value traditional smoking methods and return regularly for familiar flavors. The casual interior reflects a straightforward approach to barbecue that feels rooted in everyday community dining.
The restaurant is located on the main road with both dine-in and takeout service available, plus catering for events. During busy times on weekends, some popular meat cuts may sell out, so arriving earlier in the day is a good idea.
The signature Pork 3 Ways dish features pulled pork, sliced pork, and ribs on one plate, each prepared using different smoking techniques. This single platter lets guests compare how various methods and smoke levels affect the flavor and texture of the same meat.
