    Another great meal and experience at Sonny D's. The food is always excellent and prepared exactly as ordered. The portions are generous. Love the daily specials and the 2 Can Dine on Mondays; what a great value! The staff is always friendly! They support the community with Give Back nights as well!

    Although I have recommended Sonny D's many times, I was somewhat disappointed with our visit Saturday. It wasn't necessarily the poor service, or that my Berkshire Pork chops were firm and overcooked- As they were still quite tasty, I didnt want to return them and have to wait an additional twenty minutes for a replacement dish. What I considered the "straw" was opening the take home container the following day to find the second pork chop with no accompanying sauteed spinach, potatoes, or fried onion strings. Having asked to take the remainder of my meal "to-go" and not receiving it was quite disappointing. Why package some, but not the entire "to go" portion with my wife and I having spent $130.00 on dinner?

    Went for breakfast. Had the egg breakfast. All very good. Usually hesitant about ordering sausage, but it was very good. Also they have fresh squeezed orange juice. Always a plus! Will return for breakfast, and will try lunch or dinner in the future.

    My husband and I made a reservation at Sonny D’s for Valentine’s Day. The atmosphere was beautiful. The restaurant was super clean and modern and our waitress was a gem. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend. I will definitely come back when I am in the new Buffalo area again.

    It took a little while for server to come once we were seated; server was pleasant and professional. Our food took a while as well and we had a concert to attend so we had to rush when we had given ourselves plenty of time. Food was good
