Brewster’s New Buffalo
Price: Moderate•Italian•4.8(2,340)A beautiful, locally owned restaurant located in downtown New Buffalo, Michigan; Brewster’s New Buffalo puts a modern twist on traditional Italian fare. Our Chef uses a wide variety of fresh, innovative ingredients to create dishes. Our sommelier and bar manager take pride in curating the finest selection of liquor, beer and wine, including wonderful locally and Michigan made specialties.
We are open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner every day, all year round! (Closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day)
We look forward to having you as our guests!Sonny D's Bar & Grill
Price: Moderate•American•4.3(127)Sonny D’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a destination. Nestled in the heart of New Buffalo, we’re where coastal comfort food meets a come-as-you-are vibe. Whether you're gathering for a laid-back lunch, celebratory dinner, or boozy weekend brunch, every visit feels like a family get-together (but with better cocktails).
Upstairs, enjoy American dishes with an Italian twist—plus oysters, shareable flatbreads, and seasonal drink flights. Downstairs, things get cheeky at our hidden speakeasy, where the password changes often and the vibes are always on point. Think dim lights, killer cocktails, and secret bites for those in the know.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get better—we’ve got the legendary Rainbow Cone inside, too. So yes, dessert is always a yes.
From private events to summer bashes, trivia to live music, Sonny D’s is where beach-town charm meets unforgettable eats and drinks. Come for the food, stay for the fun.

Discover New Buffalo
Grand Rapids is best known for its furniture industry, but New Buffalo may shift the focus of the city's fame. The Southwest Michigan region offers several eateries along its coast with the added benefit of being located near the Michigan-Indiana border. Bangkok chicken is a favorite dish in the city along with the wet burrito covered in red chili sauce, a classic Western Michigan taste. There are other Mexican-inspired cuisine options as well, including tacos and classic refried beans. Seafood is abundant in New Buffalo, too. Whitefish being the most popular option, frequently served with a side of fluffy mashed potatoes for local flair.
