And that Green Cucumber Rum Drink? Talk about a refreshing twist! Its garden-fresh flavor transported me straight to a shady poolside float—divine!

    The restaurant’s cozy, rustic charm, with its wooden furniture and warm lighting, created a perfect setting for a delightful meal.  Overall, my adventure at Sonny’s BBQ was nothing short of quack-tastic!  With scrumptious dishes and outstanding service from Danielle, I couldn’t have asked for a better outing.
