WHY IS SO HARD TO FIND GOOD QUALITY FOOD IN THIS STATE? I ordered over the phone. She said 19.83$ for pork dinner. Ouch. Im saying to myself, i hope its worth it. One car in the parking lot at 6pm. I walked in to find a sign outside stating daily special 12.99 pork dinner. I go to checkout and told her, i want that deal. She said thats the lunch special. I said no it is the dinner entree. She walked outside to verify then came back in. I paid 13$ then left. Pork was very dry with no sauce on it. Corn bread was sticky and cold. The coleslaw was very bland and dry. The baked beans were awful. Plain and tasteless.
I love sonnys and theres a place on rt 41 in lutz called Rons bbq. They are the best Ever.
NEVER again.

Years ago when this place opened we tried it an were not too crazy about it. We decided to try it again since they've grown and have been around for a bit. We were not satisfied yet again. The portions are small for the price compared to other local restaurants. We were charged $5 more for extra meat on the second sandwich and it was barely noticeable. We also paid extra for corn on the cob and received a small half size piece full of water and no seasoning; our coleslaw was also very bland. The place seemed clean but their sauce containers were another story. Every lid in there needed a deep clean between the cracks. We were there at noon, the beginning of lunchtime, noone else in there. Those bottles should have been clean. I could never put something dirty on a customers table. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to Circle S BBQ.

The staff is really friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The brisket is the best around!! I've enjoyed seeing great bands out back, good cocktails, and delicious food! As much as I love this place, I do have to recommend not having the banana pudding. It is just boxed pudding and not really the best(I'm surprised). I expected some good homegrown southern banana pudding. I was a bit disappointed. But it's not Circle S banana pudding restaurant, it's Circle S BBQ. And that is what they do incredibly well!

Atmosphere is very nice!! Service was great. Prices are lil hight but so is meat cost so I don't mind paying more. I prefer BBQ that has a very smokey flavor. I didn't see any smoke and the meat didn't have that smokey flavor I love. I believe they cook their BBQ in a stove. The meat wasn't bad just not for me. The meat was juicy and not dry which was good. The greens were to salty. If you are looking for that smokey outside BBQ flavor this spot aint for you. If you like that over flavor BBQ you will like it .

Brisket sandwich was solid but didn’t taste smoked. Mac and cheese was the typical soggy in a styrofoam cup mush. Prices were shockingly high. $30 for a brisket sandwich and two sides with a drink. All the platters are from $25-$47. For that reason I won’t be back. Wanted to support a local Hudson restaurant. Bring back Engs kitchen! I also added a picture of my receipt to show what I was charged. Maybe the guy working the counter incorrectly charged me for two sides when it was supposed to come with it. But the owners need to train better to prevent this from happening.
