As summer rolls in and outdoor activities beckon, Sonny's BBQ is eager to enhance your seasonal dining experience with a fresh and exciting Summer Menu. Launched on June 1, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, this menu is designed for those who love barbecue and want to enjoy flavorful dishes while mingling with friends and family. Featuring the new Cherry Cola BBQ Sauce and a variety of BBQ Bowls, the offerings are perfect for any summer get-together.
In the heart of the menu are the mouthwatering loaded BBQ Bowls, which come at a reasonable price of $11.99. Guests can indulge in one of three Pitmaster Select Bowls:
- - Kickin' Chicken Bowl: A delectable combination of Chicken Tenders tossed in Buffalo sauce, served over Tots and Mac & Cheese, and finished with crispy bacon bits and ranch dressing.
- - Classic BBQ Bowl: This dish features Pulled Pork served over BBQ Beans and Mac & Cheese, topped with a mix of coleslaw, onion straws, and Sweet BBQ Sauce for that perfect zing.
- - Summer Brisket Bowl: For those craving something different, this bowl includes Chopped Brisket over Dirty Rice, complemented by BBQ Street Corn, pickled onions, BBQ Chips, and the star of the show, the Cherry Cola BBQ Sauce.
What makes these BBQ Bowls even more enticing is the option for guests to customize them completely. Choose your protein from Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, Chicken Tenders, Cherry Cola Burnt Ends, or Chopped Brisket. The base can be anything from Dirty Rice to BBQ Beans, Mac & Cheese, or Tots. Don't stop there! Add toppings, sauces, or even an extra protein for a modest additional charge.
Sonny's new Cherry Cola BBQ Sauce is a standout addition to the menu. This smoky and sweet sauce carries deep notes of cola and dark cherry, elevating any meal to a new level of flavor. Additionally, the familiar Sweet Vinegar BBQ Sauce is back, providing a tangy taste that fans of Carolina-style BBQ have grown to love.
To complete the dining experience, Sonny's BBQ introduces a brand new dessert: Cherry Cobbler Egg Rolls. Inspired by traditional cherry pies, these egg rolls are filled with gooey cherry pie filling and fried till golden brown, served with whipped cream for dipping—a delightful end to any meal.
As America gears up for its Independence Day celebrations, customers can enjoy a series of seasonal mocktails inspired by the nation’s patriotic spirit. These refreshing drinks include:
- - Cherry Lemonade: A tantalizing mix of tart cherry syrup and lemonade, ideal for hot summer days.
- - Toasted Coconut Soda: A blend of Sprite and toasted coconut syrup, finished off with a splash of cream and lime garnish.
- - Blue Razz Blast: A vibrant mix of lemonade, Sprite, and blue raspberry syrup that gives a sweet, refreshing twist.
