Sonny's BBQ, Barbecue restaurant in Laurel County, United States.
Sonny's BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Laurel County, Kentucky, where meats like brisket, pork ribs, and chicken are slow-smoked over oak wood. Daily-made Southern side dishes round out the menu alongside the main smoked proteins.
The restaurant was founded in 1968 and grew over the following decades to open locations across several states. Through that growth, it kept the same wood-smoking methods that defined it from the start.
The restaurant runs a program called Random Acts of BBQ, which offers free meals to people who do something good for their community. This gives the place a welcoming feel that goes beyond a simple meal out.
Meals can be eaten in the restaurant, taken away, or ordered for delivery, and meats and sides are also sold by the pound. If you are planning to order for a group or event, calling ahead saves time and helps ensure everything is ready.
A menu item called the Pick of the Pit Combo lets diners choose four different meats from what is available that day, served with BBQ beans, coleslaw, and garlic bread baked fresh each morning. It is one of the few ways to try several smoked meats side by side in a single sitting.
