Sonny’s BBQ gives first responders a free Pork Big Deal all day on Wednesday 10/28, National First Responders Day. You show your ID or wear your uniform, and the sandwich, a side and a drink are on Sonny’s. It’s a one-day offer, and every Sonny’s BBQ location is in on it.
A Pork Big Deal is a pulled or sliced pork sandwich on garlic bread or a bun, with your choice of a Sidekick and a drink. If you’re coming off a shift on 10/28, that’s lunch or dinner covered without opening your wallet.
How To Get The Sonny’s BBQ First Responder Discount
- Open Sonny’s offer with the button below and find your nearest location.
- Go on 10/28 and order in person: dine-in, takeout or the drive-thru all work. Online ordering and delivery apps don’t.
- Show your valid first responder ID, or be in uniform. Either one is enough, and you can be off duty.
- Ask for the free Pork Big Deal, then choose your sandwich style, Sidekick and drink.
Who Qualifies
Police officers, firefighters, EMTs and paramedics are all named. If you work another job that answers the call, like dispatch or emergency nursing, call your local Sonny’s before you go. Sonny’s says chances are they’ll be happy to take care of you.
You don’t need to be on shift. Off-duty first responders get the same Pork Big Deal when they bring their ID, uniform or not. The whole crew can come too: every first responder can get their own, as long as each person shows an ID or is in uniform.
What To Know Before You Go
The limit is one free Pork Big Deal per first responder, and it’s good on 10/28 only. No purchase is necessary, so you don’t have to order anything else to get it.
A delivery app or an online order won’t get you the free Pork Big Deal, so skip those on 10/28 and order in person.
The free Pork Big Deal can’t be combined with Sonny’s Rewards. You still earn points on anything else you order, so check in for the rest of your meal.
Random Acts Of BBQ
Sonny’s also runs a program called Random Acts of BBQ. You can nominate a first responder you know, and Sonny’s could show up with slow-smoked BBQ for them. If someone on your crew has gone above and beyond, that’s the place to say so.
