    In today's video, it was time to continue our rib quest and this time we head to the highly suggested Sonny’s to get some ribs. We have been to Sonny’s many times and have also filmed there. We have never tried their ribs. They have two styles of ribs, the St. Louis style and the Baby Back style. Since we have done a lot of Baby Back, we decided to stick with that. Surprisingly, these were very good! They were a little small and didn’t fall of the bone but the taste was excellent. Alex was pretty surprised when he tried them. They definitely are right there with Cheddar’s ribs. We would get them again. As far as the other food, the sides were all good and the baked sweet potato was cooked perfectly. A stinkin’ good item is their cornbread. It’s always top notch and it’s the sweet kind. We were glad we did a rib review here and and if you are looking for some tasty ribs, try Sonny’s BBQ!
    Stay tuned for another video coming soon. Thanks so much for watching! God Bless!!!

    Definitely do go to 4 Rivers BBQ in Longwood.The Beef Brisket is off the charts great 👍 I miss Sonny's BBQ. I grew up in Homestead,FL in the 80's with Sonny's Baby Backs with BBQ beans and Sweet corn bread 😋no more being in Alabama these days

    I don’t get the fascination with baby back ribs. St. Louis ribs are larger, and meatier. I always get those at Sonny’s, because you can get those with just the dry rub, no sauce, which isn’t an option for their baby backs.
    Btw, Publix deli ribs are on sale this week until the 5th for $10.99 / half rack!

    When I moved to Florida 13 years ago from Iowa, I remember seeing Sonys and Bono’s all around. I first thought it used to be one place.
    Sony Bono’s, at once but learned I was wrong lol

    Hey crew. I am a baby back eater. Sonny's and Oakwood have been consistently good but, the ribs at Sully's towards Leesburg are TOP notch. Give them a go

    I'll second both Mission BBQ and 4Rivers! Mission is in 21 states, so it's a somewhat large chain, but they have some of the best ribs.
    You can't go wrong with 4Rivers, either. You could do the Daytona One location since you mentioned wanting to do a deeper dive there.
    Another good one to check out is City BBQ. They're relatively new to central florida, but have locations in 11 states. They also have really good ribs.

    Hi guys! If you haven’t already, give Cherry Pocket Steak N Seafood a try. Located in Lake Whales on a fishing camp. If you do go, give their cherry salad dressing a try…very tasty and one of a kind. Love your videos!!

    When you get to the non chains and want the best bbq in Florida, make a weekend trip out to Miramar Beach and try Evie Mae’s.

    Everyone as different taste on cornbread. Sweet cornbread to me is like eating cake. The Crackle Barrel as really good cornbread(they put in tiny tiny bit of sugar).

      The general convention of barbecue enthusiasts and pit-masters, both professional and backyard, is that fall-off-the-bone is overcooked. Generally, we are looking for tenderness, and a bite that pulls clean off the bone, but is not falling off the bone. That being said, there’s an old Latin adage, “De gustibus non disputandum est,” that means “about personal tastes, there can be no dispute.“ Ya like whatcha like! But if you go to an independent barbecue restaurant or a barbecue show, they are gonna aim for something more like you saw there at Sonny’s.

    Did they offer you the all you can eat option? It's $19.99 for all you can eat ribs, but it's the st Louis cut ribs not the baby back ribs.
