Sonny’s BBQ planned at 595 N Broadway Ave, Bartow

Where it is. On North Broadway Avenue in Bartow, under 100 feet from Zaxby's and about 0.2 miles from Publix. Distance measured from map data, October 2026.

Two of the places within a quarter mile, nearest first; the nearest large store is kept when there is one. Straight-line distance between the mapped points.

Sonny’s BBQ is planned at 595 N Broadway Ave in Bartow: a new food-service business with seating, according to a kitchen plan-review application filed with the State of Florida.

Kitchen plans approved. The state received a kitchen plan-review application on 21 September 2026. The state approved the kitchen plans on 5 October 2026; its file lists the status as "Approved with Provisos". That is an application to build out a kitchen. It is not an opening date.

What we do not know: an opening date. The state file does not give one, and it says nothing about the building beyond a food-service kitchen with seating. The business name is the state file's spelling.

What happens next

The kitchen plans are approved. A licence to operate is a separate state record; when one is issued this page will say "Licensed to operate". That is still not an opening date.
