I just got back from a trip to Jackson, MS to visit family and friends and of course whenever I travel I'm looking for a BBQ joint. A friend recommended Sonny's and so we went this pass Sunday. We were the first customers but as time went on the place got full.
What I really wanted to taste were the ribs and brisket but they didn't have a selection like that so I ordered the super combo to get them both. It came with original Bar-B-Q Sliced Pork, slow-smoked Beef Brisket, tender Bar-B-Q Chicken, and Sweet & Smokey Ribs or Classic Dry Rub Ribs. I had baked beans and coleslaw on the side and they gave you toasted bread.
The ribs seemed to be a bit dry as if they were left-overs warmed up and the sliced pork was just a little dry too. I don't know if it was because it was Sunday and they didn't start fresh or what. The chicken, brisket, beans and coleslaw were fine.
One thing I can tell you is the prices are lower than Maryland's. This came to only $13.50, in Maryland that would have been at least $25.
I would give them another shot though, I'd go back on a different day to see if things were a little fresher.
