Order pulled chicken 1/4 pound it was amazing. Best chicken and absolutely no reaction. You can do 1/4, 1/2 and 1 pound of most of there meats. 2nd time chicken was so dry couldn’t eat it. It’s hit or miss. I won’t take a chance on any sides I just stay with the meat.

The waitress brought a "allergy menu" upon our request. It was easy to understand and very helpful.

Online allergy menu features many items made without wheat gluten. More than likely a lot of cross contamination because I definitely had a reaction later that day.

Enjoyed my sliced pork, cole slaw, baked beans & fries. All were GF/Celiac friendly. The fries are cooked in their own fryer. When I advised that I have celiac disease, the waitress assured me that the kitchen would change gloves to prepare my to-go order. Also assured me that serving clean utensils would be used to slice pork, spoon beans, etc….

Yummy, safe BBQ- yay!!

Sonny’s has GF meat, sauce and sides. They have a separate GF menu that list foods that have gluten in them.

I usually get sliced pork, chicken or ribs for my meat. Sides: baked beans, corn on cob or baked potato (if available).

Tell the waitress that is a gluten allergy, place your order and request No Bread and if the cooks would change thegloves you would appreciate that. Sonny’s has great BBQ.

Sonny’s has very good food. I have been at several different Sonny’s and have never had an issue. They do have a very old allergy menu that you can get an idea of what they offer. Basically, you can have meat, all sauces, baked beans, corn and backed potato(if offered). There may be a few more sides. I usually ask for sliced pork and double backed beans. Tell waitress/waiter about “gluten allergy” and say that you don’t want any bread and please change gloves.
