Sonny's Restaurant - Barbecue - Hinesville, Georgia

What happened?

Aqdurke--

You are making me laugh. <Still laughing>

OK. I live near Hinesville, and think your experience must have been notable because this was your first post. I'm envisioning rats walking across your shoes, and whatnot.

Please share what the heck happened. :wink:

WELCOME TO A2K, WHERE THE FOODS GOOD AND THE COOKS WEAR HAIRNETS!

Waiting to hear what happened. Welcome to A2K.

Sonny's Restaurant - Barbecue - Hinesville, Georgia

Sounds great on paper. I thought it was gonna be a rave!

You want you some real barrbeque. You goes over to Bonos , in Valdosta. Now you talkin barbeque. They take care with their sides too. None -a this canned greens and frozen crowder peas . An your ice teas is always sweet as God intended ice tea to be.
Lets not talk about bad barbeque, yeh , lets celebrate good barbeque.

I get an AMEN?

C'mon, aqdurke, we NEED to know what provoked your bad review.

Here in my hometown, Clyde Drexler (the former NBA player)'s family has a barbecue joint down in the Third Ward, near Texas Southern University. It's been there for 30 years. You'd think they would know how to roast a rib, would'nt ya?

Their barbecue sucks.

A lady that cooks for Mt. Zion Church in Huntsville (TX, north of Houston), and was featured on CBS' Sunday Morning (Bill Geist) apparently has the best barbecue in South Texas.

I never been, but it must be pretty good if it gets on national TV.

I really am not much of an aficionado of barbecue, but I do like a pulled pork samwich occasionally.

Ya want barbeque? You go to Webster, in central Florida. Every Monday they have a flea market that is nothing like you have ever seen. The market goes back to the farming and ranching days. Right outside the market, there is a little wooden stand on the street, where they sell
REAL barbeque!

Farmerman, I would never accept a restaurant recommendation from someone who thinks iced tea should be sweetened.

Could this be very creative marketing? We are now all DYING to know about Sonny's Restaurant - Barbecue - Hinesville, Georgia.

PDiddie, I had a pulled pork sammich at a local ribfest recently and it was DELISH! I had no idea! I think it's the first time I've ever had one. This was a particularly tender and savory specimen. Yum.

You-all ain't tried nuthin till you tried BRITISH barbecue!

First, select your rainy day........

(I'm just realising that for our word barbecue you would probably say cookout. I'll get me coat....)

But I want to know about Sonny's Restaurant, too!

I went to a great weinfest in Germany recently where they were roasting an ox, and there was a sign saying something like
"This is Oskar, Charolais bullock, age 14 months, weighing 700kg and Oskar is the eleventh beast we have roasted this week"

Very tasty, too.

They NAMED dinner?

How very "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" of them.

roger-when you in Dixie boy, you get your ice tea sweet. You have to ask for it unsweet. I like Poydrills in Albuquerque . even though they serve beef ribs staid a pork. Georgia Piedmont barbeque is pulled pork with a vinegar base sauce . And, you must get all the sides

okra served in a potlikker

crowder peas and black eyes

greens n hamhocks

hot pickles

stewed tomaters in a hottish broth


And for dessert you got peach cobbler. God I hope Bonos is still there.
There is some joint over near Edgefield South Carolina that is very good too, but its seasonal and only open Wednesdays through Saturdays.

We have some decent pit beef barbeque places in the north/ eastern shore of Maryland in Conowingo. There they serve mostly beef brisket barbeque and its served as a bun samwich. Usually its served as a side dish with steamed crabs and beer.
Here in Maine there is NO good barbeque , although many claim . Maine really needs no barbeque when fresh lobster is available at 3.oo a pound (5 for hard shell)

The only thing that I can add to this culinary adventure is that there is a Sonny's that opened in my town about a year ago. The gossip line informed me that it wasn't worth the effort, so I have never gone there!

Why in Hell would anyone drink unsweetened iced tea? There should be an IQ poll.

This thread promised much, flared briefly, dazzled, then faded.
Sic transit Gloria Swanson.
And, after all that, did anyone ever find out what went wrong with Sonny's Restaurant?

adurke is a hit and run poster this was his first and only post.

If he's getting updates, I wonder if this'll be the A2K version of "please release me from your list of harasssment and pain".

aqduke!! Tell us what happened at Sonny's, or else!!

Do we have a mystery here?

----Couldn't find anymore on it past this! Went to the newspaper site and I think it's the same area in Georgia.

Enquiring minds want to know.

Obviously, the next A2K Gethering should be at
Sonny's Restaurant - Barbecue - Hinesville, Georgia.

Just so we can all find out how bad it really is
and mebbe have a story to tell our grandkids!

This ONE place the ribs we so tough, they gave
us pliers instead of silverware!

This one place the service was so bad, even the water
had dust on it.

This one place they were so clueless, they wouldn't even
let you leave until you asked them three times AND paid
them extra for it.
