Sonny’s BBQ Menu: Prices 2026, Calories, Deals & More
The Sonny’s BBQ menu centers on slow-smoked pork, chicken, turkey, brisket, St. Louis ribs and baby back ribs, plus sandwiches, bowls, salads, family meals, sides, desserts and kids’ meals. Current official promotions also include $11.99 BBQ Bowls and $12 Power Plates. This guide covers verified reference prices, calories, seasonal items, rewards, allergens, catering and ordering information.
Prices were checked on August 15, 2026 using a current official takeout menu for one representative U.S. restaurant. Sonny’s official menu, current specials and online ordering resources were also reviewed. Reference prices are not guaranteed nationwide, and products, deals and availability can change.
Price disclaimer: Prices may vary between restaurants and ordering methods. Delivery prices may be higher than pickup or in-store prices. Sales tax, service fees, delivery charges and optional add-ons may not be included.
Sonny’s BBQ Menu With Prices
The tables below use one consistent official takeout menu for reference pricing. Current promotional prices published on Sonny’s general website are identified separately. MKT means the restaurant lists the item at market price.

Drinks and Lunch Plates
Sonny’s current menu includes signature sweet and unsweet tea, Coca-Cola fountain drinks, lemonade and tea-and-lemonade combinations. Exact drink prices were not published on the location-neutral official menu reviewed, so they are not estimated here.
Pitmaster Lunch Plates are also part of the current official menu. They include a choice of BBQ protein with two Sidekicks and bread. Because lunch pricing and availability are not presented as one standard nationwide offer, check the live ordering menu for current choices and times.
Signature and Notable Menu Items
St. Louis Ribs
St. Louis Ribs can be ordered Sweet & Smokey or House Dry-Rubbed. The standard plate includes BBQ beans, coleslaw and garlic bread. The representative takeout price is $17.79, with the menu showing 1,430 calories for Sweet & Smokey or 1,280 for House Dry-Rubbed.
Smoked Pork
Pulled or sliced pork is one of the simplest ways to order Sonny’s smoked meat as a complete plate. It is $14.29 on the reference menu. The current menu lists 1,230 calories for pulled and 990 for sliced in this plate configuration.
Beef Brisket
Brisket is available chopped for a more marbled cut or sliced for a leaner presentation. The reviewed takeout menu uses MKT pricing, so customers should check the current order screen rather than relying on an old fixed brisket price.
Sweet Carolina
The Sweet Carolina sandwich combines pulled pork with coleslaw and Mustard BBQ Sauce on a bun. The representative menu lists it at $9.29 and 760 calories before any Big Deal upgrade.
Family Feast
The Family Feast combines several BBQ meats, sides and four drinks and is listed as feeding four people. Its representative price is $55.99. It is designed as a ready-made sharing package rather than a customizable individual plate.
BBQ Pork Egg Rolls
BBQ Pork Egg Rolls combine pulled pork, coleslaw and Pepper Jack cheese with Smokin’ Ranch. The reference takeout menu lists the order at $9.29 and 930 calories.
Best-Value Orders
These value picks are editorial comparisons based on the verified prices reviewed, not guarantees for every Sonny’s restaurant.
Strongest current value deal for one person: $12 Power Plate. Sonny’s current deals page says the Power Plate includes half a pound of smoked pork, chicken or turkey, one Sidekick and a drink for $12. Because it bundles a substantial protein portion, side and beverage under one current promotional price, it stands out from buying components separately.
Best current customizable deal: $11.99 Build Your Own BBQ Bowl. Customers choose one protein, two bases, two toppings and two sauces. The three predesigned BBQ Bowls are also currently $11.99.
Best reference combo for trying multiple meats: Pick Of The Pit Combo – 2 Meats. At a reference price of $15.49 before premium-protein upcharges, it lets one diner compare two BBQ proteins without buying two separate plates.
Best sharing format: The Create Your Own family bundles make more sense when customers want to select their own meats and sides. The 2 Meat bundle begins at a reference price of $46.99 and is listed as feeding 4–6.
New and Limited-Time Items
Sonny’s current summer menu features the return of BBQ Bowls plus several seasonal dishes. No universal end date was published in the official material reviewed, so these items may disappear or change without notice.
BBQ Bowls
The current official promotional price is $11.99 for the three Pitmaster Select Bowls or a Build Your Own Bowl.
| Bowl | Main Components | Current Promotional Price |
|---|---|---|
| Classic BBQ Bowl | Pulled Pork, BBQ Beans, Mac & Cheese, coleslaw, onion straws and Sweet BBQ Sauce | $11.99 |
| Kickin’ Chicken Bowl | Buffalo Chicken Tenders, tots, Mac & Cheese, bacon bits and Ranch | $11.99 |
| Summer Brisket Bowl | Chopped Brisket, BBQ Dirty Rice, BBQ Street Corn, pickled onions, BBQ Chips and Cherry Cola BBQ Sauce | $11.99 |
| Build Your Own Bowl | 1 protein, 2 bases, 2 toppings and 2 sauces | $11.99 |
For Build Your Own Bowls, the official summer menu lists proteins such as Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, Chopped Brisket, Cherry Cola Burnt Ends, Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage, smoked chicken and tenders. An extra protein is listed at $3.
Other Summer Items
The seasonal lineup also includes Cherry Cola Burnt Ends, BBQ Street Corn Dip, Brisket Mac & Cheese, Slider Trio, Sweet Vinegar Pork Sandwich and Cherry Cobbler Egg Rolls.
On the representative takeout menu, BBQ Street Corn Dip is $6.99 and 600 calories, Cherry Cola Burnt Ends are $14.49 and 1,120 calories, and Cherry Cobbler Egg Rolls are $6.99 and 1,000 calories.
Seasonal drinks currently include Cherry Pop Lemonade, Coconut Cabana Fizz and Blue Razz Blast. Exact location-neutral drink prices were not published in the official material reviewed.
Deals, Specials and Sonny’s Rewards
Two clear public menu deals were current when this article was researched:
| Current Offer | What Is Included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| BBQ Bowls | Pitmaster Select Bowl or Build Your Own Bowl | $11.99 |
| Power Plate | 1/2 lb smoked pork, chicken or turkey + Sidekick + drink | $12.00 |
Promotions can change, so customers should still check the app or official specials page before ordering.
Sonny’s Rewards
Sonny’s official rewards program currently awards 10 points for every $1 spent, subject to program terms. A single transaction can earn up to 5,000 points.
The three spending tiers are:
| Rewards Tier | Annual Spend |
|---|---|
| Sweet | $0–$499 |
| Smokin’ | $500–$999 |
| Sizzlin’ | $1,000+ |
The current rewards page lists redemption options including Banana Pudding at 500 points, BBQ Egg Rolls at 1,000 points, a BBQ Sandwich at 1,000 points, a Kids’ Meal at 2,000 points and a Pick 2 Combo at 5,000 points.
New app members can currently receive $5 off an entrée on their first in-app order. Rewards members may also receive birthday benefits and member offers. Terms, qualifying purchases and available promotions can change, so the app should be treated as the current source at checkout.
Calories and Nutrition
Calories can change significantly depending on meat, sauce, side, beverage and portion.
The current reference menu shows a particularly wide range among Sidekicks. Green Beans and Broccoli are listed at 30 calories each, Homemade Coleslaw at 130, Sweet Potato at 230, BBQ Beans at 250, Mac & Cheese at 320, and Fries or Tots at 480.
Complete plates are much higher because their calorie totals include the standard meal components. For example, the representative menu lists the Smoked Pork plate at 990–1,230 calories depending on sliced or pulled pork, while the St. Louis Ribs plate is listed at 1,280–1,430 depending on preparation.
Sonny’s current website still links to a detailed official nutrition PDF whose printed information is dated December 2, 2024. It includes serving weights, fat, carbohydrates, protein, sodium, cholesterol, fiber and sugar. Because recipes and menu configurations can change, customers comparing detailed nutrient values should also check the current ordering menu rather than assuming every older nutrition entry exactly matches a current seasonal item.
Allergen and Dietary Information
The official allergen guide linked from Sonny’s current menu is dated July 31, 2025. It tracks milk, egg, gluten/wheat, shellfish, fish, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, MSG and sesame.
The most important warning is the restaurant’s shared-kitchen statement. Sonny’s says its menu items are prepared or cooked in a single kitchen and that it cannot guarantee a menu item will be completely free from an allergen.
That means an unmarked protein or side in the guide should not automatically be treated as allergen-free.
The allergen chart marks multiple allergens for many prepared items, including sandwiches, breaded foods, desserts and several sides. Customers with severe allergies should review the latest official guide immediately before ordering and speak directly with restaurant staff about ingredients and preparation.
The official sources reviewed do not provide a blanket chainwide guarantee that menu items are gluten-free, vegan or allergen-free. Removing one ingredient should not be assumed to make a meal suitable for a specific medical or dietary requirement.
Kids’ Menu
Sonny’s has an official kids’ menu for children under 10. Each Kids Meal includes one Sidekick and a choice of 2% milk at 120 calories or fruit juice at 190 calories.
Current kids’ entrées include:
| Kids’ Menu Item | Included |
|---|---|
| Kid’s Pork Sandwich | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
| Kid’s Turkey Sandwich | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
| Kid’s Hot Dog | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
| Kid’s Grilled Cheese | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
| Kid’s Hamburger | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
| Kid’s Mac and Cheese | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
| Kid’s Ribs | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
| Kid’s Chicken Tenders | 1 Sidekick + drink choice |
The general official kids’ page does not publish one nationwide price for these meals. Use the live ordering menu to see the current restaurant-specific price before ordering.
Catering and Family Meals
Sonny’s offers pickup catering in addition to the family meals on the regular menu.
The official catering menu currently lists One Meat, Two Meats and Three Meats Pickup Packages. These packages include the selected smoked meat or meats, three sides, garlic bread or cornbread, paper plates and utensils, lemonade, signature iced tea and BBQ sauce.
The Three Meats Pickup Package is specifically listed as priced per person with a 10-person minimum.
A single nationwide catering price was not published on the general catering pages reviewed. Catering prices, availability and service choices should therefore be checked through the official catering ordering system.
Lead times can also depend on the order and restaurant. No single chainwide advance-order deadline was found in the general catering information reviewed, so larger orders should be scheduled directly through the catering system rather than relying on a fixed assumed cutoff.
How to Order Sonny’s BBQ
Sonny’s official website and app support takeout, delivery and curbside ordering. The app also supports scheduled pickup, saved orders and recent-order reordering.
Customers can also order directly at a restaurant. Catering has its own online ordering system.
Delivery totals may differ from takeout totals because delivery pricing, service charges, delivery fees and other fees may apply. Third-party platforms can also have their own pricing and fee structure.
For the most accurate total, choose the restaurant and ordering method first, then review the final cart before payment.
Sonny’s BBQ Restaurant Hours
Sonny’s does not publish one set of operating hours that applies to every restaurant.
Hours can differ by restaurant and by day. Holiday schedules can also change. Dine-in, takeout, curbside, delivery and catering availability may not use identical schedules.
The safest approach is to use the official store finder or app shortly before visiting or placing an order. The location finder displays current restaurant-specific hours and available ordering options without requiring customers to rely on a generalized nationwide schedule.
Does the Sonny’s BBQ Menu Cost the Same at Every Restaurant?
No. The reference prices in this guide should not be treated as guaranteed prices at every Sonny’s BBQ.
Pricing can differ because of restaurant ownership and operating costs, taxes, restaurant format, promotional participation, the ordering method and delivery markups. Premium proteins, extra meat, larger portions, side upgrades and other customizations can also raise the final price.
This is especially important for brisket, which may be shown at market price, and for promotional offers that can change over time.

Final Thoughts
The Sonny’s BBQ menu is built around smoked pork, ribs, chicken, turkey and brisket, with enough formats to cover individual plates, sandwiches, customizable combos and larger family orders.
