   It’s bar food. It’s not upscale bar food or well-executed bar food. It’s just mediocre bar food. Sonny’s is probably a pretty cool neighborhood hang out for locals who want a casual place to hang out, but it’s certainly not a destination to go for.

   I was extremely concerned with the number of dogs in the common area, two which were sitting at the bar with their owners. There is an outdoor patio, which would seem more reasonable, so that pet hair is not floating around on guests’ food. Another annoyance that my party and I witnessed was the number of waitresses, who petted the fur babies, went to retrieve our food and brought it back without washing their hands. Lastly, I booked the reservation for a birthday brunch and was impressed with the photos on the booking app but when we got there, the menu was limited to nearly none of those items and mainly included a pancake social. Overall, the vibe was nice.

   Sonny's Patio Pub and RefugeResponded on 15 July 2022Thank you very much for the feedback! We will review all of these items with our staff and team. Hope you will try us again soon!

    Overall we had a great time and the food was very good. The brisket sandwich was awesome. Three of us ordered the cucumber side salad and we didn't like it at all. My biggest issue is that I like dark beer and they don't have any. Their darkest beer is what I would call medium. That won't stop me from going back though.

    My wife and I had a wonderful evening sipping margaritas and listening to the music. This is a great casual venue, sort of like a great neighborhood pub. It’s large enough to move around so if the band is really rocking, you can get away from it, enjoy the music but still carry on a conversation. Corn hole also was a nice diversion. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    They canceled our reservation hours after we booked it, due to a music event. This is the second time that they have canceled a reservation I’ve made with them Bc of an event they were hosting. They need to control their reservations better.

    Sonny's Patio Pub and RefugeResponded on 21 March 2022Shannon, we are so sorry! This is definitely not how we like to do things! If you are so inclined - we would love more information on this experience. (Ex . . .How far in advance was the reservation, do you know who contacted you?) Thank you so much!

    The music was so loud and we were right next to the live band. We had to scream to converse with our friends and actually lost our voices. Would go back when there is not live music or when the porch is opened up with warmer weather

    This is one of my favorite places to eat/hang however, Friday night was slammed packed. I waited for 30 minutes for a drink. I couldn't find my regular person so I asked a guy waiter (tall guy, red hair/beard) for my drink/waitress and he acted almost offended. Some of the staff were super rude.

    Sonny's Patio Pub and RefugeResponded on 10 March 2022Thank you so much for your feedback, Dedra - and thank you for being such a great patron!

    It was just ok the dip on the menu is GROSS! The couple next to us even agreed it was cold and nasty ! The glasses had film on them like maybe it should be ran in the dishwasher one more time with just water. I cleaned my glass with a napkin and water from my water cup. We didn’t stay long we had a table right next to the men bathroom which is gross ! Why would you have a table that close to the men restroom so people continue to walk by our table the whole time we were there. I don’t think I will try again . The waitress was super nice !

    Sonny's Patio Pub and RefugeResponded on 21 February 2022Oh my! So sorry for your experience! Hoping you had a chance to share your experience with a manager while you visited. We thank you very much for the feedback and hope you will give us another opportunity to in the future.

    The music level was unacceptably, ridiculously loud, so loud the server had to lean in so we could shout at each other. Conversation was next to impossible and less than pleasant. The service was mixed, with our server being very personable and attentive, but things like getting utensils and refills happening only upon request. Food was tasty and served quickly, but some portions were small. Sausage and cheese plate was nicely done. My sandwich and chili were fine, but didn’t really live up to their names on the menu. In other words, if I had been given either blindly and asked what they were, I wouldn’t have called them what the menu does. Parking was easy to find. Bottom line is I really wanted to like this place, but in a town with so many options hitting on all marks I don’t see myself coming back.

    Sonny's Patio Pub and RefugeResponded on 11 February 2022Thank you for all of the feedback, HankY! Happy to hear that your service was fast and friendly. Sorry that the atmosphere and food were anything less that stellar! We hope that you will come back and give us another try. Thank you!

    Sonny's is a great spot to hangout with friends. The margarita/beer/mimosa flights are a great value and delicious. We went from brunch on Sunday and got a cute picnic table outside. Its dog friendly so, all the cute pup vibes. I've also gone for dinner and drinks before. They have live music some nights w/ QR codes to request songs & tips the artist. Definitely a favorite spot.
