Sonny's may serve meat cooked in a bar-b-que style, but it is no-where near genuine Atlanta bbq. The meat is sliced and dry and the sauces are too think, too sweet and have too much of a tomato base. Atlanta (and Georgia) bbq is chopped, shredded, or sliced much thinner than theirs, and is loaded with a loose, non-sweet vinegar base. In my family, Sonny's is not even considered a bbq restaurant.
