This place is awesome. It is a little pricey but the food is excellent and the service is exceptional. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides are delicious. They make a mean Mac n' Cheese and tasty Brussels Sprouts. I also want to mention the flavorful cocktails. read more

Sullivan's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Our party of 4 went to happy hour and it was one of the best experiences ever. Ambiance perfect in the bar, and our server, Christa, was knowledgeable in her recommendations of appetizers. The food we ordered was amazing with the most perfect hamburger ever. Drinks were well prepared. Matthew, the GM, was very visible and interactive with customers in the bar. Impressive. Looking for an amazing happy hour...Sullivans is the place. read more

Our waiter Luis was amazing and the food was exceptional. The creamed spinach was delicious and the pork belly is phenomenal.

The worst experience in Tucson. The poor couple next to us waited almost 15 minutes to have their table cleaned so they could sit down. He ordered a Bud - nope. Restaurant is out. My husband ordered chicken. Nope - restaurant is out. So her ordered a burger which took 40 minutes, and during that time my salad had already been brought out (without any dressing) and I had finished. Since his burger took so long he got a second glass of wine. New glass? Nope - no clean wine glasses. The band, The Cuban Guys was good although the Cyndi Lauper-esque dressed women were more of a show ‍ Save your time and money for another place. read more

This place is woefully understaffed and what there is is inexperienced or don't care. This goes from the reservation desk to the bar they park you at when your reservation is not ready or even close, to the wait staff and cooks and manager. They brought out a filet for my wife then asked "to cut it down the middle" to see if it was cooked Medium as requested. The filet was like a catchers mitt. The waiter even acknowledged it needed to be brought back. Ok, but they never brought one back after 25 minutes and my meal was eaten and shared with my wife in her butter plate. The manager then in her ultimate grace offered not to charge us for the steak we never got. I could go on, but just this - avoid this place...and I know the Covid excuse but run it like a business or close it. read more

Sullivan's Steakhouse is a traditional steakhouse in ambiance and menu. We ordered from the "Sure Thing" menu which includes a starter, entree with sides and a desert for $48. I upgraded from a 8oz New York strip to a 12oz Ribeye for $7. Our other order was a 6oz filet mignon. We both got the mashed potatoes as a side, very good. We also ordered the Caesar salad and the soup for the starters, both were great. Both steaks were grilled to a perfect medium rare as requested and were very flavorful. I grill steaks at home and thought mine were really good but I'm rethinking my seasoning. Lastly I ordered the key lime pie, which was okay. We also ordered the bread pudding which was very good. Also when the server went through the menu when we arrived, they didn't mention the "Sure Thing" menu, if I hadn't reviewed the menu prior to going I wouldn't have known about it. It's mentioned on the main menu but to get the details you have to ask for a separate menu. Overall, a great place with really good steaks! read more

Ok first of all beef welling bites are not ground beef....it had bone fragments in it, I almost broke my tooth, Second ,35-day old steak, ok if you have a steakhouse you should know how to prepare and cook a steak a medium rare is pink and a little red....not purple wow...sea bass had a nasty odor to it and fried , What is up with this place....it's not a good steakhouse. People go to silver saddle steakhouse way 100% better then this untrained cook staff....I will not ever go back to this dive restaurant.... read more

Sullivan's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We sat in the bar and ordered cheesesteak egg rolls, a chicken sandwich and prime steak frites. We sat down a little after 7, ordered around 7:10ish. The appetizer came out decent timing...our food didn't come out until 8:25...which we asked to be boxed because we had to get home. The server said the kitchen lost our ticket and her manager was going to take care us. She comp'd our soda and appetizer :( I think they should have comp'd the food that we waited over an hour for. Poor customer service. Once we finally got to eat the food the fries were soggy and the bun on the sandwich was cold. With that said, I've been to Sullivans several times before and service was much better than tonight. read more

We found this place because my fiancé's parents told him they would pay for a fancy meal. Our birthdays are less than a week apart and they wanted to treat us. So I went on OpenTable and found this under the steakhouse. It was open during lunch and not as expensive as Flemings. The interior is gorgeous. It is spacious, high ceilings, and a giant wine cellar. We went at a really good time because there was very few people in the main dining area. I think something was going on in the bar area. There was only one waiter working and the poor guy had to run around servicing everyone. And I think maybe the manager was there too. But other than that, they were short staffed. I decided to order the filet mignon. They ran out of the 6oz and 12 oz, so all they had was the 8oz. I was like "Ok". It comes with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. My fiancé got the steak frites. I also decided to get a glass of red wine...because nothing goes together better than steak and wine. With the entrées, you can add on soup or salad for $4, so I decided to add on the shrimp & lobster bisque. The bisque is creamy, not too salty. And it taste like lobster. There are tiny chunk of lobster in it. It is a small portion but if you have a small appetite, it can be filling. Our entrées were amazing. My fiancé's steak frites was tender, and the sauce on it was addicting. Both were cooked medium, as requested, and it was just tender and so easy to chew. It is also easier to cut (in my opinion.) But the filet mignon was the perfect pink inside, the perfect amount of seasoning so that it wasn't too salty or peppery (well I added pepper). Absolutely perfect. I mentioned earlier that our birthdays were less than a week apart. My birthday had just passed and my fiancé's was upcoming. When I made the reservation on OpenTable, there's an option to put what the occasion is. So I chose birthday. It showed up on the hostess' computer. When we walked in, she said "Happy Birthday". And the waiter brought up again when we ordered. At the end of our meals, the manager brought in dessert menus and told us to each pick a dessert and it was on him. So I got the Nutella crème brûlée and my fiancé go the chocolate meltdown. The crème brûlée is straightforward. The chocolate meltdown is a flourless chocolate torte, topped with chocolate mousse, covered with a half-chocolate dome. The dome gets melted with hot chocolate ganache. The manager poured it and it took some time to melt but it was still pretty good. I don't think the ganache was hot enough. But both desserts were so good. Really sweet and just so filling. Like you feel like you regret it, but at the same time it was totally worth it. Service was excellent and it was nice of them to give us dessert on the house. read more

Maddix is the best server I've had!! I highly recommend her and the restaurant! Get the banana foster bread pudding !

Is there a way to give zero stars?? I went there NOT on New Year's Eve but the night before. We walked in at 7:15 for our 7:30 reservation. There was nobody at the hostess stand and we stood there looking around for 10 minutes before anyone showed up. When they finally did, they said they'd try to get us seated close to our reservation time. Hmm. Anyway, they sat us about 15 minutes late. Not horrible, but I should've known we were in for trouble. Our server greeted us a few minutes later and took our order. She brought out my wife's martini which she said was delicious. I had a Diet Coke, and you could see when she put it down that it was completely flat. It was. I got her attention and she brought out another Diet Coke also completely flat. Then finally she brought out another glass which she said she'd poured from a can because she and the manager were trying to get the co2 changed for the soda. Ok, so we ordered lobster bisque Bowls, and she brought out cups-we sent that back and she brought out bowls which looked like the same amount of soup as the cups, but oh well. Unfortunately the soup was quite cold and I was served a teaspoon for my soup so we sent it back, and the waitress finally returned with warm soup but now I had no spoon. Our waitress went to get me a soup spoon and never returned, so we flagged down another very nice waiter who brought me a soup spoon. An hour and a half later, we gave up waiting for our food-the waitstaff was standing around waiting for food to come out of the kitchen and it just wasn't happening. Btw, it wasn't all that busy at the time. We called the manager over and told her we'd had enough and she said "ok, just go". As we were leaving, we saw a party of four that sat down about 10 minutes before us. They were leaving because they never got served either. What a fiasco!! read more

Went for dinner tonight (2nd time being there) 4 of us was there for 3 hours and 15 minutes. Food was cold. Steak was not how we ordered. Just ridiculous for how long we had to Wait! read more

Honestly not even sure where to start with the myriad of issues Sullivan's Steakhouse is treating their customers to, but let's run down the issues in order: 1. Our party arrived on time and was sat almost 45 minutes past our reservation time, which was made weeks ahead of time. 2. Our party was sat at a temporary folding table with folding chairs crammed inside of the dining room. The folding table (albeit covered with a tablecloth) was old, damaged and designed so you have to put the legs between your crotch to fit. The folding chairs were exceedingly uncomfortable and flimsy. 3. It took 30 minutes before the first food arrived at the table after ordering, which was a small loaf of bread which we were not offered and had to request several times. 4. The seafood bisque appetizer took around 45 minutes to arrive and had probably 3 tiny pieces of seafood in it. 5. The entrees are ludicrously overpriced for what you receive -- starting around $41 for an à la carte entree and sides that go up to $16 -- and the food is bland, small in portion and lukewarm. 6. It took over three hours from the reservation time arrival to signing the cheque when all food was quickly consumed. 7. Host and management is rude, apathetic and unapologetic. Blame shouldn't rest with the server; they tried their best given the poor circumstances they were thrust into. So, yeah...yikes. I have nothing but sympathy for service industry workers having worked many years in the industry myself and am forgiving to busy restaurants, especially on a holiday, but to fundamentally fail on every basic level of running restaurant, especially a supposedly upscale one, is shocking. It's 2022 and restaurants are obviously facing staffing issues post-pandemic, but Sullivan's loses all credibility for this excuse as, at least on Thanksgiving, they artificially expanded their dining capacity by squeezing at least 10 folding tables (each a 2-8 top) in the restaurant and seemingly doubled the capacity of their large outside patio, which obviously is enough to push the kitchen, serving and bussing staff to the brink even if 110% staffed. If management is at all worried about staffing at a restaurant, then it is absolutely inexcusable to overbook and significantly increase the normal capacity of the facility. But clearly Sullivan's is operating under the 2022 creed of "smaller portions, higher prices, worse customer experience, maximum profits." It's unclear which of the above issues were caused by local management, corporate management or both, but they are self-inflicted issues that deserve scorn. Finally it's worth nothing that while there are customers that a bad "high-end" dining experience doesn't impact, a lot of people, including those in the service industry, save up to take their families out on holidays. To virtually ruin an entire family holiday meal due to greed and poor management is sad indeed. Based on the vast amount of customer dissatisfaction overheard, Sullivan's will be facing a tough road ahead of them with the poor word of mouth. But hey, at least then they shouldn't need the folding tables anymore! read more

Our server Steven was out standing as was everything else. The steak was perfectly done and the salmon was flavorful and the sauce was light - not overpowering. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Great evening! read more

Great atmosphere the bar bites are amazing and live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Wonderful live music, atmosphere, SERVICE. Matthew, the new manager, has really brought back their food service game! Ask for Eric, in the bar! read more

Look out Tucson, Sullivan's is back!!! When Sullivan's underwent new ownership, the game changed. The new GM, Joe Romanosky, not only has returned to his family roots back in Arizona, but brought members from his thriving Sullivan's - Charlotte, NC location with him. Joe is shaking things up and has begun to bring Sullivan's back to the forefront of people's minds for fine dining. Sullivan's has retained some of the best of the best personnel including Sarah and Hunter. This past weekend, I celebrated my birthday with my husband. Little did I know that my husband had called Joe and arranged an evening to remember. As I walked through the front door, Sarah had the BIGGEST smile on her face, and genuinely reflected warmth as she escorted us to our table. To my surprise and delight, we were situated at the prime (no pun intended) table. Booth, back of the room, directly facing the open kitchen on the opposing wall. Rose petals were strewn randomly across the pristine white tablecloth! Oh my goodness..... Moments after sitting, Joe came over and warmly welcomed us 'home'. While catching up, Hunter arrived and greeted us with an expansive wine list, supper options, and begun pouring Peligrino. Our appetizers consisted of champagne, shrimp cocktail, oysters from the East and West Coast, and a French loaf of warmed bread and butter. Our meal included Bone-in Tomahawk aged rib steaks, creamed spinach, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes. Dessert consisted of a chocolate mound. To die for! The presentation from Hunter was truly spectacular when he poured hot fudge over the dome so it would collapse inward to reveal a chocolate lover's delight. During our supper, Sarah came and took our photograph. Little did we know that at the end of our meal, we were presented our photo in a black frame with signatures from all. The service was impeccable. We were never without. We chose to dine slowly, relish in the rich decor, lively atmosphere, and truly marvel over our experience. Return to Sullivan's to renew your home away from home. read more

Sullivan's Steakhouse - Elegant yet casual - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We have given this place so many opportunities to impress us but it just isn't what it used to be. It feels like a restaurant dinosaur that needs to retire. Service is beyond poor and often times weird...meaning their staff makes you feel like you are in a bad dream, like the red room in Twin Peaks. Last time we went, server was awkward, tablecloth had wine stains from previous customers, my side dish had butter smeared all over it as if they just left the plate on the table from the previous party and to top it off the food was.....meh, sub-par, mediocre. That was the last chance we will give them. read more

Great Food tonight and Cocktails. Great service thank you. My server Luis was outstanding. The hostess Taylor was friendly upon seating us. Food was great as a steak salad on a hot summer night. read more

This restaurant has a serious management problem. We had a reservation on Christmas day for 4:45. We were lucky enough to get a seat in the bar next to a couple with a 4:15 reservation. At 5:30, neither couple had been seated. People with reservations were waiting over an hour and a half just to be seated. Tim, the bartender, did a great job and actually suggested we consider staying at the bar and ordering there. I'm ok with eating at the bar, and we enjoyed the company of the other couple and really enjoyed the food, but watching all of those people mill around in the lobby waiting for a table was a bit disconcerting. After we ordered and we received our salads and bread and then proceeded to wait close to another hour for our entrees. It seems like most of the reviews recently are the same. Someone needs to figure out how to run that place. On the plus side, the food was outstanding....in particular the filet. And again, Tim did a great job in a really tough situation. read more

This review is for Happy Hour in the bar. You would think being an upscale steakhouse that they could cook some sliders without hammering them, but no. Dry, overcooked and just downright flavorless. Quite possibly the worst sliders I've ever had, even places like Red Robin make better sliders. Service was not good. They left pretty much the whole bar to one bartender/waitress (go easier on the perfume, it was overpowering). The shrimp eggrolls were OK but something you would get at PF Chang's. Oh and the music, way too loud. Ease it back, music in a bar in an upscale steakhouse should be background, not front and center. read more

BIG Disappointment. Much better food & service in Tucson elsewhere Sadly, Nothing like it used to be. read more

So, as I said in my last review a year ago, which Sullivan's ignored, we had a Christmas tradition of going there on Christmas Eve since 2013. Last year was so bad we said we would go to Flemings this year, and it was a great choice. Flemings this year was everything Sullivan's used to be. It was worth every cent, unlike Sullivan's a year ago. That brand knows how to do high end steak house. I'm very sad that Sullivan's has turn into just an overpriced Olive Garden. Congratulations, you've lost us forever. read more

Food was very good, but it didn't seem to justify the price. I had the Filet Mignon which was very good. Crab cakes were honestly phenomenal and the Three Cheese Mac was more than enough to share as an appetizer for two. Our server, Luis, was the best! He deserves every tip he gets! Atmosphere was also quite appealing. Just too expensive for what it is unfortunately. read more

Went to happy hour last night and it was note enjoyable. It was hot in the bar area and the bar bites (spicy shrimp eggroll and beef wellington) were awful. The only thing positive about the evening was the hibiscus martini and the wait staff. The air conditioning was broken, staff said 3 weeks, the manager said 3 days. He didn't seem to concerned about it and said we could move to the restaurant. I recommend you avoid Sullivan's until they fix the a/c. read more

Went because we had gift cards as well as it was also our anniversary. Hubby had The prime, New York strip, and the iceberg wedge and the garlic, mashed potatoes. I had the small fillet mignon, loaded baked potato, and started with the French onion soup. The New York strip was good, but no better than any other steakhouse at half the price. He thought there was a little too much garlic in the mashed potatoes, I tasted them and thought they were delicious, but they were not very hot. The steak was also cooked appropriately. My steak was to be medium and came out closer to medium well. The manager came around and actually took a look at my steak without me even complaining and she's the one that said it looks like it was close to well done. They did give an $11 discount, but the steak was not cooked correctly - I added A1 sauce, which improved everything. The French onion soup was four stars but not out of this world. The loaded baked potato was good but if you consider loaded a teaspoon of butter, a teaspoon of sour cream and 12 little pieces of bacon, then ok -I would not consider that loaded. The service was not impeccable. There were lingering wait times, but servers were friendly, and I was impressed that the manager actually came around to each table. Our dog had some nice steak scraps as I didn't eat 1/2 of mine. We won't go back. read more

For was overpriced for no flavor. The restaurant and staff were great especially going on Valentine's Day. Not sure if it's because we went rather late but still they ran out of quite a bit of things so we had to settle for different sides. Definitely not worth the $ read more

We came here for our 7 year anniversary. I chose this place because I wanted king crab legs. Unfortunately, they said they ran out of crab legs. We started off with calamari. We both thought it was too sweet. I then got a salad to start, it was just ok. My husbands ceaser salad was good, but he said it's the first time he had to use a knife to cut up his salad because it was served with whole leaves, instead of cut up. My husband said his steak was also good. I ended up getting lobster tails and it was tough. The drawned butter I dipped it in tasted weird. I had my husband taste it and he agreed. We both thought, "how do you mess up butter"? Service was great. They recognized our special day with roses petals on the table and a card, and a complimentary dessert. Our waitress was great. read more

First time there, Christmas day lunch 2024 with 9 friends. Called ahead and hostess stated regular lunch menu but dinner menu only on Christmas day. I'm a light lunch eater so I had the Market fresh greens which was good and fresh. One of the waiters told me the Tableside BLT salad wasn't that good, but it looked OK to me and a large portion. Lots of dressing though, so if you don't like lots of dressing don't order. The Spinach Salad next to me on our table looked OK. The Iceburg Lettuce Wedge that was shared on our table was pretty good. The bad news is that the Herb Brick Chicken my wife had was two hard dried out pieces of chicken breast that was like something pulled out of the fridge and reheated. The mashed potatoes and spicy peppers topping was good. Across from me the salmon looked dry with dried out spinach leaves. I'm from Hawaii so I know what good fish looks like and this wasn't it. The Sweet Potato Casserole and Mash Potato sides not sure which one were good but be advised huge and will serve 4. The steaks looked pretty good. This is a high end expensive restaurant north side Tucson where the money is, so obviously a lot of folks there that are spending hundreds of dollars on a meal is no problemo for them. Lunch and Bar Menu are more reasonable, might go back for that. Otherwise value for the dollar IMHO is low unless you have money coming out of your ears. The ambiance is good, just go for lunch, an appetizer, happy hour, bar menu etc. BTW I live in Tucson, don't know how Yelp has me in SF. By the way, the wines start at 13 dollars a glass all the way up to 35 dollars a glass plus. Look at the wine menu before you order and go to the bar and have the bartender pour out of the bottle so you can actually see what you're getting. You got it, I'm a very suspicious customer haha. read more
