Sonny's BBQ

Sonny's BBQ Southern BBQ at its finest. Slow-smoking favorites like pulled pork, ribs, brisket since 1968. In 1968, we were just a local BBQ joint in Gainesville, Florida.

Today, we’re still a local BBQ joint. We just happen to be in a few more locations. But we still do things the same way Floyd "Sonny" Tillman and his wife, Lucille, did back then. We still slow-smoke over oak for up to 12 hours at a time. We still serve generous portions. And we still believe people should be able to go out to eat and feel right at home. Follow us:

On May 16, 1968, a legacy began. 🤠

58 years ago today, Sonny Tillman and his wife Lucille opened their doors on Waldo Road in Gainesville, Florida. Their mission: slow-smoked BBQ served with Southern hospitality. That simple mission guides us every step of the way as the years pass. We'll never lose sight of it.

To all our Pitmasters, team members and guests, thank you for all your work, love and support over the years.

To Sonny and Lucille, we could never say enough, so we'll keep it short (and sweet). We miss you. We love you. Thank you.

Happy Founder's Day. ❤️
