Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Sonny D's Bar & Grill offers a "great atmosphere" with a diverse menu featuring generous portions of American and Italian classics. While the food is praised as "amazing" and "delicious," service can be inconsistent. The outdoor space is a highlight, though noise levels can be high. Ideal for casual gatherings.

Dinner with friends at 6pm on a Saturday in the covered patio area. Service was OK but one salad arrived without dressing. Food generally was good, but the noise level went up and up until it was nearly impossible to talk or hear. The venue would be helped by the installation of some soft materials, maybe hung from the ceiling. Inside areas are probably even louder.

I’ve been here once before and really liked it- today was a different story. Service was just so so, 3 different waitresses! Slow to get my drink. Food was just ok. Pretzels were large but lacked taste and the cheese was yucky. We split a quesadilla which I didn’t care for.

There were four of us for dinner this evening. Only one person had a good meal. The hamburger. The chicken parmigiana sandwich was overcooked. The restaurant even comped it as it was not good. The two tacos were so so. The shells were somewhat stale. The chicken taco was simply grilled chicken and shredded lettuce. There were two sauces you could add yourself. Was disappointed as we were there with out of town guests. The service was good.

We were able to get a group of 6 in for Sunday lunch which would be the main reason we chose to eat here.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was salt fun! The service could have been better, but wasn’t horrible. We checked out the Speakeasy and enjoyed it! What a cool addition to the restaurant.

Very diverse menu. Everything from bar food to burgers and tacos and some outstanding Italian specialties. Great place to take a family as there is something for everyone. The portions are extremely GENEROUS. The chicken parmesan was delicious and almost too big for the plate. Friendly service staff. The only thing it was missing was other than the salads, there was no green vegetables on the menu. But that will not stop us from coming back....again, and again.
