Our Favorite BBQ Chain (Sonny's BBQ In Rock Hill, SC)

[@vafunseekers]

Nice portion sizes at Sonny's. We have been to a Sonny's one time before in Florida. Both of the sandwiches looked yummy! Thought it was reasonably priced too. Would definitely go to another Sonny's if given the opportunity. Great video!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

If I find out there is a Sonny's in the area I'm traveling, I make it a point to stop. I believe you said the one you tried was around Jacksonville? Is that correct? Thank y'all for watching!

[@vafunseekers]

@@NCMemoryMakers We are thinking it was around the Orlando area. We remember it being good.

❤️👍

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thanks for watching!

[@AugustKuster]

Delicious food

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, it sure was!

[@williejones9335]

Good to see Sonny 's showcased. I grew up eating Sonny's being from the Gainesville FL area. Enjoyed it very much. I now live in NC a little over an hour away from Concord I visit the Sonny's when ever I'm in the area. The food is really good. Thanks for the video.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

We have been to the Sonny's in Concord. That's the only one left in North Carolina now. And Rock Hill is the only one left in South Carolina. They're still pretty prevalent in Georgia and Florida. You being from Gainesville, I guess that means you've probably eaten at the original location?

[@williejones9335]

Yes. Many times. Once you eat at Sonny's you never forget the good taste and smell of the food cooking.

[@terrykallmann4146]

Great video. Can’t wait to hit Buc-ees in Florence when we go to Myrtle Beach in September. God Bless!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Hope you have a great trip, and enjoy the Buc-ees there. Thanks for watching, and God bless!

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

We have a Uncle Sonny BBQ in my hometown. Don't know if it is the same as your Sonny's. When I heard the name, I googled it on my mobil phone. It is just about 1/2 mile from my house. I hope you both have a blessed weeks.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I know there are still lots of them in Georgia and Florida, and some in Kentucky. Not sure where you live, to know if it is the same chain. Probably not, since yours has "Uncle" in front of it.

[@vitsteele-lz2hn]

Like what you do and you been honest with people

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thanks so much!

[@BSeene]

My favorite is Smithfield’s out of the chains , but for some dumb reason will not go west of Greensboro . I mainly like the Brunswick s strew there

[@NCMemoryMakers]

They do have one in Charlotte now.

[@BSeene]

@@NCMemoryMakers nice didn’t know that

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@BSeene Yes, it's off of Interstate 485, which is the bypass around Charlotte. I think it's Exit 4.

[@owen33333]

Great review, and now you have me thinking about a Sonny's brisket sandwich! Luckily, we have one a few miles from home. (Port Orange FL) We need to head there next week! Thanks, just subscribed.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for subbing, and for watching. We appreciate that. Living in florida, you are very blessed to have Sonny's close by you. I wish we had one close to where I live.

[@ltsplace3301]

Y’all really need to go to Captain Steve’s seafood restaurant! It’s not far from Sonny’s right up 21. Close to Carowinds. Best. Seafood. Around. And we are from Lancaster where we always went to Catawba Fish Camp right across the river on highway 9 in Fort Lawn. That USED to be our go to place until we discovered Captain Steve’s! Love y’all! PS have y’all ever heard of “Narrow Way Theater”? It’s also up there close to the old Heritage USA. Dinner theater that’s Christian themed. Love y’all!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

No, I've never heard of that. The last time I was anywhere near Heritage USA, was when they used to do the Christmas lights up there really nice. Back in the 1980s. Thanks for watching!

[@markebass]

Agree, Captain Steves is great and Narrow way is also but it is a dinner theater so do not eat before you go.

[@markcloer2274]

Stop there a couple times a year on the way up to Boone. Never had a bad meal.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

We try to stop at Sonny's whenever we are close to one.

[@bradleylove8606]

I see someone has been to Bucees and they have pretty good brisket sandwiches too.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

They have great brisket sandwiches. But I'll tell you what, I've had the three meat sandwich twice, and I have fallen in love with it. It has the brisket, as well as the sausage, and I think turkey.

[@richardmoore2590]

I love barbecue and I love you two, the total video😉

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for those kind words! We appreciate it!

[@Hardmetal57]

Always love Sonny's , one of few bbq restaurants that offer sliced pork , my favorite... good review be safe .

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thanks for watching!

[@tonylashmit2613]

Glad yall enjoyed yalls meal. Been by the Concord location many times but we've never eaten there. Gotta put that on the bucket list.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

It is the only one left in NC. I just learned also, that the Rock Hill location in this video, is the only one left in SC. I thought there were more there.

[@GPgundude]

Garlic bread is 10 times better than buns when it comes to sandwiches! We used to go to the Mooresville location 2 or 3 times a month when we lived in Mocksville . They had a wonderful salad bar with a delicious smoked chicken salad on it! Thanks for another great video!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thanks for watching! I just learned they have closed the Mooresville location. So, I guess that just leaves Concord in NC?

[@twlrsc47]

Good video guys. No Sonny’s here on the Grand Strand…..but we do have a Missions BBQ, which is AWESOME ! But my wife and I hope to visit a Sonny’s, next time we drive down to our Florida home. Great job U2 !!!!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@tedandtinasadventures.9225]

SONNY'S looks like a nice place. The menu looked good, and yalls food looked really good. We would definitely eat there. Wish we had one near us. Thanks for sharing.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, we love eating there when we get the chance.

[@monicamoore111]

We haven’t eaten at a Sunny’s in years. The one that we use to eat at closed. Have y’all eaten at the Smoke Pitt in Concord? We eat at the one in Monroe. We like the ribs, chopped bbq and Alabama smoked chicken. We don’t like their collards because they are too spicy.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

We have not. It's rare that we ever go to Concord, unless we are going to Concord Mills Mall. And when we do, we usually try to take advantage of the Sonny's there. Since it's the only one left in the state now.

[@JenniferHollins-e4e]

I am wearing the same exact Buc-ee's shirt right now! :-)

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Wow! That's pretty neat. Which location in Georgia did you get yours? She got this one from the Warner Robins store.

[@JenniferHollins-e4e]

@@NCMemoryMakers It is. Calhoun, GA. It was the first one I ever went to. I have now visited the one in Sevierville and hope to visit the one in Richmond, KY last this year.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@@JenniferHollins-e4e We have been to the one in Richmond (on way to MN last summer), and the one in Sevierville (also on way to MN last summer), but not the one in Calhoun.

[@CindyYr11]

I am a novice person when it comes to Bar -B-Q places to eat. I suppose being from Pennsylvania, not many around the area. I only know of charcoal and gas grills. Funny story but I have no idea why I am sharing this with you because it really makes me feel stupid. My daughter and I stopped at a roadside Bar -B-Q and you could see the big smokers blowing smoke in the air. There were many people standing in line so we decided to eat there. Oh my, I did not like it, no sticky sauce, no grill marks this was half a chicken. I told my daughter that it tasted like a campfire but was red inside. I was thinking it was not entirely cooked through so I asked if they could throw it back on the grill! I was told it was entirely slowed cooked and it was smoked ring and it was supposed to look like that. I went back and slapped on the sauce and still didn’t agree with me. My daughter ate her pulled pork and I tossed mine in the garbage can. When we got to the Jeep, I made her take me to Popeye’s for crispy chicken! I been to Butts on the Creek in Maggie Valley, N. C. and did enjoy the meal there. I really wish we had the tasty southern fixen’s ! Safe travels and blessings sent to you and your precious fur babies.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, when BBQ is smoked with wood, it will be a pink color and often leaves a smoke ring...especially in brisket or pork. Sorry you didn't care for it. I love BBQ more than most foods on the planet. A beef brisket that is juicy and tender, is one of life's great joys. Glad you had a great time at Butts On The Creek, though. We have a video from there, as well. Thanks for watching, and for the well wishes.

[@davewhite113]

What is your favorite locally owned BBQ place?

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Around here where we live in NC? Probably JD's BBQ.

[@smokymountainman4964]

I really like Sonny's too. Unfortunately, we do not have any anywhere near us. We used to eat at them when we visited family in Georgia, but they moved so we don't get there anymore. My favorite was always the smoked turkey. Thanks for taking me back there.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

You are very welcome. We get to eat at Sonny's, maybe once or twice a year. I wish we had one closer.

[@Momtocam1997]

If you’re ever in the Gastonia area, Kyle Fletchers in Lowell..right off the blvd (74) to me, is the very best bbq in our county.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you for the suggestion. Believe it or not, we just left Jackson's Cafeteria in Gastonia. We are literally pulling out of the parking lot now.

[@Momtocam1997]

@@NCMemoryMakers Haven’t been to Jackson’s in many years, but it’s been a staple here in our area.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@Momtocam1997 I think you are the one that commented to us about it on our K&W video. Several people did, but I'm wanting to say you were the first.

[@michaelpardue2400]

Thanks for sharing your trip .

[@Phillip-yy4fr]

Glad to see your eating well this weekend. Have a great time and enjoy your travels.

[@Delta9Brian]

Being from Eastern NC, I do not accept your apology (JK). Lexington style BBQ is straight trash. But I love all other BBQ and sauces from the rest of the country other than the SC mustard. But this particular Sonny's brings back many memories. My Aunt and sister live in Rock Hill, and when Grandma was around we used to take her out to eat there after church on Sunday. Her being from Texas, she always approved of Sonny's. I loved their okra and corn nuggets the most. Great Texas toast also, and love all the sauces. My other favorite chain BBQ place is Famous Dave's. I may even like Dave better.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, Sonny's is our favorite chain BBQ. I am glad this Sonny's location brings back some fond memories for you. Thanks for watching!

[@GaryLetford]

We have 2 favorite non chain BBQ places we like whenever to travel to southwest coast. Southern Soul BBQ in St Simons Island and the other is Woodpeckers BBQ in St Augustine FL. They are both amazing.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Sounds like 2 great options!

[@dpmart3275]

Sonnys always a good place to eat 🎉

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, we love to take advantage of it anytime we are near one.

[@patriciahurley1867]

Used to go to the one in Mooresville until they closed it. Still buy their steak sauce. Enjoy, safe travels and God bless.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I did not realize they had also closed that one. I knew they had closed the one south of Charlotte. I guess that only leaves Concord, unless they've closed it as well?

[@KevinVohrer]

Great video as always, Sticky Fingers is also a great BBQ chain especially the original location in Mt Pleasant, SC

[@markebass]

Have you been to Smithfield Chicken and BBQ? It is a chain in eastern NC but there is one in Charlotte next to Premium Outlets not far from Carowinds. I like to stop at the one in Laurinburg on the way to the beach. If you go, get the chicken but try the bbq also.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, we have been to several Smithfield locations across the state, including the one in Charlotte off of Interstate 485. Been there several times. I do love the fried chicken, and that's what I always get, mainly because they only offer the vinegar sauce for the BBQ. But their chicken is a winner. When our son was still playing baseball as a kid, he would always make all stars, and our teams usually made it to state tournament. When we had those tournaments, they would usually be down east. We ate at Smithfield in Knightdale, Dunn, Laurinburg, and Siler City, as well.

[@markebass]

Ask for "red sauce" instead of vinegar at Smithfield.

[@marysorsoli6453]

Why don't you ever eat some of everything you ordered? You kept talking about the garlic bread but you didn't take a bite for us.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

You obviously do not watch many of our videos. We normally do take at least 1 bite of everything. Do you actually enjoy watching people eat and chew? What do you gain from watching me eat a bite of it, that you can't get from me describing how good it is?

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Upon watching the video again, I will simply point out that my wife also got the garlic bread on her sandwich, and DID take a bite of it. You literally saw her bite into 2 pieces of garlic bread at the same time. But you're upset because I didn't show myself doing the same? Sounds a little like you just want to criticize me, for some reason? So, to summarize...She took a bite of her sandwich (with garlic bread), I take 2 bites of brisket, and you need something to criticize, so you get upset because I didn't personally bite into the bread on camera, but told how it was. That is unbelievable. The fact is, we are paying for our meals, and we have the right to enjoy them while they're still warm. We review places. We do not exist to entertain anyone. If we took the time to sample each and everything, and then record us eating our meal and talking about it, then we don't get to enjoy our food warm. And if we're paying for it, then we have that right. If you do not like that, then maybe this is not the channel for you. By the way, people who have never made any comments on this channel whatsoever, have not yet earned the right to criticize. Maybe be glad of God's blessings on your life, instead of trying to find something to criticize and be negative about.

[@tarheel2u]

Howdy neighbor's. Good video but I still like vinegar sauce 😂. We like the brisket at JD's if you haven't tried it. Hope you enjoyed Carowinds. We were rollercoaster fans when younger but our up's and downs need to be closer to ground now.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, I've had the brisket at JD's. I really like it. I just can't adapt to the vinegar sauce on BBQ, though. Glad I live in the western part of North Carolina.
