The Sonny’s BBQ Florida City Menu carries on the smoky legacy that began back in 1968 when Sonny Tillman opened his first humble BBQ joint in Gainesville, Florida. What started as a small roadside smokehouse quickly became a Southern institution known for slow-smoked meats, friendly service, and that unmistakable pit barbecue aroma. As time goes by, Sonny’s BBQ expanded across the Southeast, bringing its signature pulled pork, ribs, and brisket to fans everywhere.
Today, the Florida City location proudly showcases the same tradition, with a menu full of classic favorites and a few secret items that only loyal regulars know about.
From tender sliced brisket to their famous BBQ pork sandwich, every dish reflects Sonny’s original passion for authentic smokehouse flavor.
And yes — that legendary Sweet & Smokey BBQ sauce still reigns supreme, proving some classics never fade.
