Sonnys Fried Chicken & Burgers

Right on Lygon Street. A proper, vintage-plastered dive serving an absolute banger feed. Chip aficionados obsess over the fries here—uncommonly crunchy from the first bite to the last, holding their own even when drenched in cheese, bacon, and that elite-level gravy on the Load Em Up order. Wing fiends single out the buffalo sauce as a masterclass, coating bird that's fiercely battered on the outside and dripping with juice. Grab a stool in the loud, rustic dining room—it’s casual counter service, so just walk straight up to order—and grab a jug of tap beer. The Juicy Lucy burger hits heavy, but the half-bird is the undisputed star. A convivial, high-energy joint. Perfect for sinking pints and crushing top-tier comfort food.
