Sonny’s Originals: All our Best, All at Once

You just can’t beat an Original. The same could be said for these two sweet plates we’ve brought back for a limited time. So, break out your cowboy hats, it’s time to say Hello to the Sonny’s Originals.


Sonny’s Sampler – $19.99 

The first of our Sonny’s Originals may have gone by some different names in the past, but it’s always been a staple of our menu. Where else can you try everything that we’re known for, and probably have more than enough to take home for later?  

Puttin’ it simply, if you’ve ever wanted a taste of everything we have to offer, the Sampler is the prime pick. Here’s a taste of every slow-smoked meat our Pitmasters pack onto your plate: 

  • Pulled or Sliced Pork 
  • Chopped or Sliced Brisket 
  • Smoked Chicken 
  • St. Louis Ribs (Sweet & Smokey or House Dry Rub) 
  • 2 Sidekicks 
  • Garlic Bread or Cornbread 

Pork 3 Ways® – $16.99 

We’ve traced the origin of the second of our Sonny’s Originals back some decades. We even found it on some old menus when going through our archives. Before you ask, yes, that name is trademarked. 

Here’s a fun fact: did you know Sonny Tillman started with Sliced Pork, and added Pulled Pork later? Sliced has been a specialty of ours for quite some time, so trust us when we say you can’t go wrong with this packed plate. Also, good news, if you’re tryin’ to decide between Pulled and Sliced Pork, you don’t have to. 

Here’s a rundown of what this Original comes with: 

  • Pulled Pork 
  • Sliced Pork 
  • St. Louis Ribs (Sweet & Smokey or House Dry Rub) 
  • 2 Sidekicks 
  • Garlic Bread or Cornbread 

Answering Your Sonny’s Originals Questions 

One of the best parts of goin’ to Sonny’s is getting your plate exactly how you want. Now that you’re familiar, we know you may have a few questions about these, so let’s get goin’. 

I love Baby Back Ribs. Are those included?

You can absolutely get Baby Back Ribs instead of something else on your plate, but that will be extra and not the special price.

Can I get double up on one of the meats instead?

You can get double Brisket/Pork instead of something else, but it will not be the special price of $19.99.

Can I make my own Sampler?

You sure can. That’s a Pick 4 Combo, where you can pick all the different meats you want, but just be warned it will not be for the special price if you do so.
