We attended Sullivan’s Thanksgiving Buffet and had an unbelievable experience. Angie was our server and was key to our lovely dinner. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and just a joy to work with. And then there was the food . . . WOW!!! So much to choose from and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted so good together- a veritable symphony on our tastebuds! Then there was the Dessert Room. HOLY COW!!! Anything and everything you could imagine. Sooooo good! Thank you Sullivan’s and especially Angie for making our Thanksgiving dinner something absolutely wonderful to remember.

Everything was fine, service was excellent, steaks were great as well. My only negative was my wife’s filet was ordered medium with pink center but was served rare, very red center. Easily detected simply by pressing the meat. Service provided cook-up to desired temp, but having one person having to wait while other ate takes away from the experience for sure. Especially at a high price steakhouse. Something I would expect at an Outback Steakhouse, but not at a $75.00 steak restaurant.
