I have been going to Sonny's for over 20 years now and have never had a bad experience, the service is swift and always right, prices are good considering the amount of food you get, the guys behind the counter seem to have never changed and what is even better is that they make you feel like even if you...

It is a great burger, in comparison to any other burger joint in brampton. Fries are huge portions, milkshakes are a little slushy, but the chicken burgers are amazing!

Their veggie burgers are very good. I'm not sure what brand (maybe Sol?), but they are cooked on a separate area of the grill, and cooks use separate utensils to handle. The food plus this attention to detail keeps me going back.

As in my last review, great place, great food. Only down fall is that they now accept cash only, oh my mistake they have an ATM on site but why would I want to pay a service fee of 2-3 bucks so I can eat their food and give them my business. If my business isn't important enough for Sonny's... More

Sonny's is one of my fave places to go on cheat-day! Their Mouth-watering burgers are a very generous size (never finish it). Like their poutine but I always ask for half the amount of gravy because they tend to soak it. Love when I get to actually see Sonny! hahaa. Another great after the club place, for they are also...

I've been to Sonny's several times and while I do enjoy the food, there were too many instances where I was going to be an innocent bystander in a knife, broken bottle or fist fight. So I'll pass. The food IS fantastic

Not bad, good filler for the money and better than the chains, but certainly not a burger worth jumping up and down about as many seem to do. The big fresh bun and large (but thin) patty certainly fills you up and they do a great job on the fries and rings. These guys are certainly doing something right based... More

After having driven past several times we decided to go and give it a try. We both had the steak on a bun and fries and we were very impressed! We will return.

I have travelled all over the World and ate in some amazing restaurants. I have always been a food junkie and my late night snacking exploits are legandary among my group of close friends. There is no better place I can think of to go for a burger and fries after midnight anywhere in the World. My initial visit was... More
