We stopped in Corbin on our way back north from our Florida vacation. We arrived late in Corbin, and we're looking for somewhere to eat supper. Sonny's happened to be right beside our hotel, so we thought it would be a good choice, from a convenience basis. We were both amazed though at just how great the food was. I... More

I have eaten there only a few times and I didn't really enjoy it very much. The food is okay.

The I-75 stretch from Knoxville to Corbin, KY is a vast wasteland of fast food chain restaurants. Perhaps, a little research might reveal the hidden gems near the freeway exits. To be clear Sonny’s BBQ at the Corbin KY exit is also a chain restaurant; however, Sonny’s BBQ differs from the frequent fast food fare insomuch that Sonny’s BBQ offers... More

We stayed at the Baymont at this exit and were pleasantly surprised by Sonny's BBQ! Excellent meal at good prices and very family friendly. Even though they were crowded (Friday night), the service was good and the staff was friendly. We WILL stop by again on our next trip through the area!

Good basic BBQ in a very casual place. In mid April 2012 it was being renovated so it looked all torn up. Service is casual and efficient.

Unlike the other big BBQ chain, Sonny's does not "laugh at" vegetarians, or people who go light on meat (my wife). Her salad was a fresh mix of quality lettuce (not all iceberg) with moist tasty smoked turkey on top. Also lots of craisins and pecans, almost too many, but you don't have to eat 'em. My beef was a... More

This is the best BBQ place in Corbin. We eat there when we can parking spot. They are usually packed the weekend. I guess the secret is out. We have eaten several things on the menu and so far have enjoyed everything. We both agree the pulled pork is the best of all the items. I personally enjoy the pulled... More
