About Sonny D's Bar & Grill

Sonny D's Bar & Grill is a neighborhood-style American restaurant and bar located in the heart of New Buffalo, Michigan. The concept blends classic bar-and-grill comfort food—such as burgers, wings, seafood, pasta, tacos, and hearty appetizers—with Italian family recipes that reflect the owners’ Chicago roots. The venue also features Sonny’s Speakeasy, a downstairs bar with a Prohibition-inspired atmosphere, cocktails, live entertainment, and events, as well as brunch service, dessert specials, and catering options for groups and private events.

A charge from Sonny D's Bar & Grill on a card statement typically comes from dining in at the restaurant, bar purchases (including at the downstairs speakeasy), takeout orders, catering deposits or balances, or charges related to a private event hosted at the venue. Guests may also see a charge if they purchase alcoholic beverages, brunch, desserts, or loyalty-program-related redemptions that involve a remaining balance. In some cases, there may be a temporary authorization hold when a tab is first opened or when a card is added for a reservation or large party.

If someone doesn’t recognize a Sonny D's Bar & Grill charge, they should first check recent restaurant visits in or around New Buffalo, Michigan, review email confirmations for reservations or catering orders, and look for paper or emailed receipts from the bar or speakeasy. The next step is to contact the restaurant directly by phone or through the contact form on their website to inquire about the specific amount, date, and ticket number associated with the charge. Having the last four digits of the card, the exact charge amount, and the transaction date ready will help staff locate the check quickly. For disputed or fraudulent charges, cardholders should also contact their bank or card issuer promptly to report the issue and follow standard dispute procedures.
