ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonny's BBQ, the industry-leading BBQ restaurant rooted in quality food, hospitality, and spreading kindness, is inviting guests to gather around the table this fall with a new menu built for sharing. Starting September 14, Sonny's BBQ is bringing back beloved staples alongside new shareable platters and cozy seasonal drinks, all available for a limited time at restaurants nationwide.

"Guests want meals that feel comforting and worth the occasion." Said Shannon Snell, Head Pitmaster at Sonny's BBQ. "From our Maple BBQ Pork Burnt Ends to our Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese, we're giving families the cozy, comfort-food flavors they look for all fall and throughout the holiday season."

Handcrafted by Sonny's expert pitmasters and brimming with fun and festive fall flavors like maple and pecan, the new seasonal menu brings the soulful comfort of the season to the table. This fall, Sonny's is turning up the flavor with two crave-worthy sauces: the return of its signature seasonal Maple BBQ and the debut of a bold new Buffalo BBQ.
