We have been to the Sonny's in Concord. That's the only one left in North Carolina now. And Rock Hill is the only one left in South Carolina. They're still pretty prevalent in Georgia and Florida. You being from Gainesville, I guess that means you've probably eaten at the original location?

Yes. Many times. Once you eat at Sonny's you never forget the good taste and smell of the food cooking.

Thanks for watching!

Yes, we love eating there when we get the chance.

Hope you have a great trip, and enjoy the Buc-ees there. Thanks for watching, and God bless!

Thanks for watching! I just learned they have closed the Mooresville location. So, I guess that just leaves Concord in NC?

Yes, I've had the brisket at JD's. I really like it. I just can't adapt to the vinegar sauce on BBQ, though. Glad I live in the western part of North Carolina.

Thank you so much for subbing, and for watching. We appreciate that. Living in florida, you are very blessed to have Sonny's close by you. I wish we had one close to where I live.

Thanks so much!

It is the only one left in NC. I just learned also, that the Rock Hill location in this video, is the only one left in SC. I thought there were more there.

You are very welcome. We get to eat at Sonny's, maybe once or twice a year. I wish we had one closer.

Thank you so much for those kind words! We appreciate it!

No, I've never heard of that. The last time I was anywhere near Heritage USA, was when they used to do the Christmas lights up there really nice. Back in the 1980s. Thanks for watching!

Agree, Captain Steves is great and Narrow way is also but it is a dinner theater so do not eat before you go.

Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.

If I find out there is a Sonny's in the area I'm traveling, I make it a point to stop. I believe you said the one you tried was around Jacksonville? Is that correct? Thank y'all for watching!

@@NCMemoryMakers We are thinking it was around the Orlando area. We remember it being good.

Sounds like 2 great options!

I did not realize they had also closed that one. I knew they had closed the one south of Charlotte. I guess that only leaves Concord, unless they've closed it as well?

Yes, it sure was!

Yes, we love to take advantage of it anytime we are near one.

Thanks for watching!

Wow! That's pretty neat. Which location in Georgia did you get yours? She got this one from the Warner Robins store.

@@NCMemoryMakers It is. Calhoun, GA. It was the first one I ever went to. I have now visited the one in Sevierville and hope to visit the one in Richmond, KY last this year.

@@user-hg4hj5bl8n We have been to the one in Richmond (on way to MN last summer), and the one in Sevierville (also on way to MN last summer), but not the one in Calhoun.

Thank you for the suggestion. Believe it or not, we just left Jackson's Cafeteria in Gastonia. We are literally pulling out of the parking lot now.

@@NCMemoryMakers Haven’t been to Jackson’s in many years, but it’s been a staple here in our area.

@Momtocam1997 I think you are the one that commented to us about it on our K&W video. Several people did, but I'm wanting to say you were the first.

We have not. It's rare that we ever go to Concord, unless we are going to Concord Mills Mall. And when we do, we usually try to take advantage of the Sonny's there. Since it's the only one left in the state now.

Yes, we have been to several Smithfield locations across the state, including the one in Charlotte off of Interstate 485. Been there several times. I do love the fried chicken, and that's what I always get, mainly because they only offer the vinegar sauce for the BBQ. But their chicken is a winner. When our son was still playing baseball as a kid, he would always make all stars, and our teams usually made it to state tournament. When we had those tournaments, they would usually be down east. We ate at Smithfield in Knightdale, Dunn, Laurinburg, and Siler City, as well.

Ask for "red sauce" instead of vinegar at Smithfield.

They do have one in Charlotte now.

@@NCMemoryMakers nice didn’t know that

@BSeene Yes, it's off of Interstate 485, which is the bypass around Charlotte. I think it's Exit 4.

Around here where we live in NC? Probably JD's BBQ.

Yes, when BBQ is smoked with wood, it will be a pink color and often leaves a smoke ring...especially in brisket or pork. Sorry you didn't care for it. I love BBQ more than most foods on the planet. A beef brisket that is juicy and tender, is one of life's great joys. Glad you had a great time at Butts On The Creek, though. We have a video from there, as well. Thanks for watching, and for the well wishes.

You obviously do not watch many of our videos. We normally do take at least 1 bite of everything. Do you actually enjoy watching people eat and chew? What do you gain from watching me eat a bite of it, that you can't get from me describing how good it is?

Upon watching the video again, I will simply point out that my wife also got the garlic bread on her sandwich, and DID take a bite of it. You literally saw her bite into 2 pieces of garlic bread at the same time. But you're upset because I didn't show myself doing the same? Sounds a little like you just want to criticize me, for some reason? So, to summarize...She took a bite of her sandwich (with garlic bread), I take 2 bites of brisket, and you need something to criticize, so you get upset because I didn't personally bite into the bread on camera, but told how it was. That is unbelievable. The fact is, we are paying for our meals, and we have the right to enjoy them while they're still warm. We review places. We do not exist to entertain anyone. If we took the time to sample each and everything, and then record us eating our meal and talking about it, then we don't get to enjoy our food warm. And if we're paying for it, then we have that right. If you do not like that, then maybe this is not the channel for you. By the way, people who have never made any comments on this channel whatsoever, have not yet earned the right to criticize. Maybe be glad of God's blessings on your life, instead of trying to find something to criticize and be negative about.
