Re: [gatortalk] Gainesville Fine Dining?

Sonny's has both corporately owned and franchised locations is probably
why there is the difference in menu and specials. They do give more
leeway to the franchises to allow for local favorites and tastes.
Sonny's is my favorite BBQ chain because of the consistency that you get
as you travel. I know that there are better BBQ restaurants around, but
if you are in a place where you aren't sure and you want good BBQ,
Sonny's is a safe bet in my opinion.
