About Sonny’s BBQ
Sonny’s BBQ was founded on April 17, 1968, in Gainesville, Florida, by Floyd “Sonny” Tillman, originally under the name Sonny’s Real Pit Bar-B-Q. The chain has grown into a beloved Southern barbecue institution headquartered in Maitland, Florida, with locations spread across nine Southeastern states.
Sonny’s builds its menu around meats slow-smoked fresh in-house every day over oak wood — ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken — paired with six signature sauces and classic Southern sides, all served in a cozy diner-style atmosphere with wood walls and casual booths.
