Well I remember when this place was a Swenson's and this place has always been exceptional! When it changed to Sullivan's the service became even better. The food is amazing as well as the atmosphere. Nothing in Tucson beats this place.
I've been going to this restaurant ever since I was a little kid and it was still Swensen's. My mom used to take me there as a treat when I was especially good, and I would get the cable car kids meal with grilled cheese. Fast forward 30 years and I enjoy taking my own kids there today. The burgers are the best, with fresh beef coming from Dickmans butcher shop in the same plaza. And the homemade ice cream is the best!
What a great spot! I ordered the Sourdough burger with fries and it came out perfectly cooked and the toast was awesome!
I don't know what they put on the fries, but the seasoning is amazing! Had to order a Reese's sundae also to top it off! Don't miss this place!!
Great food and service after a full day of sightseeing around Tuscon.
Old fashioned ice cream fountain fare. Chocolate Root Beer float, Deep Fried Mac and Cheese Bites, Patty Melt with Tots, Grilled Cheese with real batter-dipped Onion Rings topped off with a Hot Fudge Sundae and Orange Sherbert.
Shout out to Alyssa and the team for taking care of us!
We came here for lunch! The waitress was super nice! The food was delicious! I had the Studebaker sandwich and it was fireworks in your pants good!! The ice cream was also super yummy!! They had a dessert with sweet potato fries and ice cream... I know what you're thinking but it was delicious!! I would highly recommend stopping in and giving their food a chance!
Loved our lunch here! Great kids meals and all the sandwiches on the full menu were fantastic. Had the bacon cheeseburger, the turkey club and the Studebaker. Also tried the fries, potato wedges, Cole slaw and onion rings. All were great. Onion rings are battered and fried crispy golden, the wedges and fries were perfect. The ice cream was also delicious. No complaints at all. Would come back if we were in the area.
This place is super cool. My kids love it as they have trains all over the place. Plus they give colors and papers for the kids so they stay busy and not running around lol. Their ice cream menu is so delicious. I have tried the snickers sundae which was fabulous. I will definitely come again with my kids and try other stuff on their menu and maybe their food as well.
The regular food menu is nothing special, as it’s pretty typical dining food. Regardless, it’s not bad, and will fit most people’s needs. However, the reason to come here is unquestionably for the ice cream. The ice cream is homemade, and is genuinely some of the best, most creamy and delectable ice cream available. Whether you want a simple scoop or an indulgent sundae, you can definitely find your satisfaction, and more, at Sullivan’s!
I visited again and got a grilled chicken sandwich. It's a fine sandwich, although nothing special where I think it's a bit overpriced. The service that I received was great though!
Sullivan's is our go-to restaurant in Tucson for great tasting burgers, steak fries and ice cream. The service is always good and the food and ice cream is always yummy. We get the meal deal which includes a hamburger, cooked your way, with the toppings you choose, fries (their steak fries are the best), a large drink and an ice cream dessert sundae for a decent price.
Excellent burgers and ice cream. You can build the burgers anyway you want with all kinds of topping options. The play oldies music and it is the vibe in the restaurant as well. All of the staff was pleasant as well.
Good food and fun place for the kids. The kids meal is a great deal. The photo is a picture of the sundae that comes with the meal.
My wife and I have been here twice; it has a very nice retro atmosphere. So far we have only come for the ice cream, which is well worth coming for… It’s not just the same old ice cream. We had rocky road tonight; a pretty run-of-the-mil flavor, but it was exceptionally good. Friendly service. Order the banana split if you want something that fits the retro atmosphere of the restaurant. Great place to take your wife for date night.
