We've been to Sullivan's Steakhouse a few times now -- for a business lunch, with friends visiting from out of town, and with family -- and have had a great experience each time. The restaurant is a little darker inside than I personally prefer, but the staff have always been friendly and attentive. We tried the Shanghai calamari, seared Ahi tuna, and the lobster bisque. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We also shared the carrot cake for dessert, which was excellent. Overall, consistently good food and service every time we've visited. read more

I was a bit worried about some of the not-so-great reviews, but my husband and I had a wonderful experience. We came during happy hour and sat in the bar area. The ambiance was nice with most tables full and dim lighting that wasn't too dark. There was a decent selection of happy hour food priced at $10, $15, and $20. Select cocktails were $5 off, and wines were $8 off. To start, we ordered the House Fries, Sriracha Shrimp Lettuce Cups, and Haymaker Chicken Sandwich. The shrimp lettuce cups were our favorite out of the three. The chicken sandwich was good too, but the parmesan fries that came with it were even better. If we had realized just how many fries came with the sandwich, we wouldn't have ordered the house fries because it was a LOT of fries (not a bad thing). I think I would get the shrimp cups again and want to try some other dishes next time. For dessert, a friend recommended we get the Peanut Butter Pie. If you love peanut butter, you will love this! Also, notable mention is the service. Food came out within 15 minutes, and everything was nice and hot. I can't remember the name of our waitress, but she was phenomenal. My husband and I agreed it was some of the best service we've received in a long time. She went above and beyond. She took our order right away, checked up on us just the right amount of times, and refilled my husband's soda as soon as it was empty without us asking. It's the little things. She was also just really amicable and pleasant to have as our waitress. Overall, the food, service, and vibes were great for happy hour. read more

Food Was Good. Not Great. Ive been to many high end restaurants over the years. My take away with Sullivans... Our Waiter, over charged on Bill. Thanks to my wife who reviews every bill, (I keep a running total in my head ) Before she could finish her concerns about bill, waiter grabbed bill and disclosed he made a mistake. He didn't even know what her question was.... like self incrimination I ordered my Beefeaters on the Rocks w/ 2 Olives (before dinner drink) . It was finally severed after appetizers, and a nudge No Olives Caesars Salad was swimming in dressing. Had a hard time finding the Romain. Lobster Tail should be slightly browned. It was Bone White. Butter was presented before the salad arrived. Strip Steak was ordered Medium Rare. Came out Cold Red Strips aren't known for tenderness, it was tough. Hard time believing the cut was USDA Prime. I do my very best to make lemonade out of lemons. We had a great time regardless of above. We saw the General Manager all hands on deck. She was backing our waiter it appeared. Just at another table or tables. Hats off to her!! She 'CARES'. !! Big Time! Waiter might want to apply @ Winsteads. Those lady's would teach him a thing or two. J Alexanders or Bristol next time.. Have no reason to come back. 3 stars are for GM. My first review on yelp ever.. I'll start sharing my positive experiences for good karma.. i just don't like to complain. Prost everyone read more

I decided to try the bar bites menu and eat in the bar this time. There is also a covered patio space, comfortable tables a few screen TVs to watch an my surprise, a lovely jazz trio. The bar bites menu is thoroughly enjoyable. The seafood was fresh and very flavorful. The beef Wellington bites are a must try. The service was very friendly and efficient. The happy hour times vary so make sure to check out their website. They also have a variety of signature cocktails. I will be back! read more

We had 7:30pm Mother's Day reservations and our mom might actually put me up for adoption now. The experience was insulting to mothers everywhere. It took an hour for the first half of our appetizers to arrive. Where was the second half you might ask? Great question. We asked the same, twice. The missing overpriced appetizer showed up a solid 30 minutes later. It sucked, but we were starving so we suffered through the borderline uncooked crab cake. Their signature dish! We're over an hour and a half in at this point. It would be another hour before our main entrees arrived even though we ordered them at the same time as the appetizers. We just sat there waiting with empty drinks, no food, and no communication from staff. Little did our starving stomachs know, we were in for even more disappointment when the mains arrived. Not a single steak was cooked correctly and the lobster mac and cheese was dryer than the Sahara. I'm not usually one to send food back, but I did this time. It was inedible. The waiter brought us regular mac and cheese instead. It ended up being the second worst Mac and cheese I've ever had, runner up to their lobster mac and cheese. They still charged us for the more expensive first attempt with lobster by the way. We planned on getting dessert but didn't have another hour to spare so we passed. Probably saved ourselves from more disappointment. Positives: they sat us on time. The cheesesteak rolls were mostly edible and unique. The bathrooms were clean enough. We won't be back:) read more

I visited Sullivans on a business lunch, and had a great meal. I opted for the ahi tuna sandwich with fries, which was incredible! The tuna is served cold, cubed up and doused in a mayonnaise based sauce. Topped with slaw and avocado, it was the perfect refreshing sandwich (though a little messy to eat, you've been warned). The fries were also great and the parmesan was a nice touch. Service was friendly, but slow, given that the restaurant wasn't terribly busy for weekday lunch. The vibes inside are a bit formal, especially in the dining room, but you can opt as we did to sit in the patio area or front of the restaurant for a slightly more relaxed vibe! read more

We came here on a quick date night. We were going somewhere else but the parking situation was a nightmare so we came here. Hubs made a reservation in the car. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. The hostess was very nice. Once seated, our waitstaff, Michael, came over and offered us water. We chose sparkling. This is a very nice place. Quiet. I liked the quiet but wish we had sat on the other side by the bar. Live music was being played and it was nice. We noticed that when we were leaving. Let's get to the food. For starters we had the Calamari. It was fried to perfection and the sauce was delicious. For our meals, I had the rack of lamb with a side of lobster mashed potatoes and hubs had a ribeye steak with asparagus. Had I known my lamb chops were on top of mashed potatoes, I wouldn't have gotten the lobster mashed potatoes. The lamp was seasoned perfectly and the dabs of sauce were devine. Hubs really enjoyed his steak. The asparagus was a little chewy versus snapping, but still tasty. The lobster mash was fine but could have used some butter (or more). Oh, I forgot to mention our drinks. Hubs had 3 Banana Old Fashioneds and I had an Apple Cider drink. Sorry, the name escapes me me. It was yummy though. Hubs really enjoyed his drink hence why he had 3. Lol Overall, a very nice place and we will definitely be back. read more

Eric made our night. He was very attentive, funny, and even printed a picture of us for us to keep for our memories. We loved the food, experience, and everything! Highly recommend. read more

Haven't been here for a long time and well, this was the last. I think the people that work here have been watching too many of those tv shows where everyone in the kitchen is yelling at each other. Not fine dining at all. More like going to a gang fight with steak in front of you. Ridiculous amount of banging things around in the kitchen which is open and right on the other side of the table we were at. And again, people screaming at each other the entire time. Can say without hesitation that this is the last place I would tell anyone to go to. read more

I think I have been here for 4 business dinners in the last month and they have all been just okay. Service is good, but the kitchen is struggling to get temps correct on steaks. One time it's overcooked another it's Pittsburg blue. Sides are just mid at best. Really dry and clumpy mashed potatoes, asparagus that some are crisp others overcooked, they all lack seasoning . Table of six and none of us were thrilled with the food. This place use to much better. read more

Had some apps and beverage in bar area then joined with friends in dining room. The food--overall it was fine. Blue cheese chips--A+. Poke Stack--slightly out of balance, avocado layer was too thick. Dynamite roll--was decent, but nothing special Crab fried rice--good, again nothing special. Value was not there. For the overall experience did not match the prices they are charging. For example--in the bar multiple times it was overwhelmed by the loud personal voice of a male server just "chatting" with the bartender. Our dining room server--was visibly "annoyed" when he learned wife and I would not be ordering entrees(we had had food already in the bar area). His demeanor and service attitude changed after this for the rest of the evening. They seem to want to be "high end" and charge those kind of prices, but the experience does not fit. Too pretentious and trying to be something they are not. Some might disagree, but for these prices I want to have an "experience." Large scale competition such as Morton's or Ruth Chris I think offer better results. read more

When I say LOVED this place. I dined here on 2/28 for my babes birthday and it was the best experience. He had the Cajun steak and it was so flavorful, crab fried rice, and the lobster tails. I had the lamb chops and they were exquisite. I will definitely be back here to dine again soon!! read more

Service was wonderful and the food was mostly good. We really loved the beef wellington bites, and the crab cakes were delicious. In our opinion the bone-in filet was quite tough to cut and the shrimp & lobster bisque was just ok. Enjoyed the ambiance and decor! read more

I've been here a few times so this review is based on my overall experience. Food: Amazing. I love it. The last time I went I had a porterhouse steak and king crab with goat cheese salad. Absolutely amazing. Service: Can be hit or miss. The last time I went it was great. But the a few of the times before it was really lukewarm (we're heavily tattooed so maybe the waitstaff thought we were broke hooligans. (Don't they know how much tattoos cost?)) Atmosphere: Kinda dark. Feels like old rich white people should be smoking a lot. It's just got a dated vibe. But the food? Worth going back for. read more

Excellent as always. We come for holiday and foods is always good. Service is good. Place is clean read more

Atrocious. This place has gone wayyyy down hill. Waited 2 hours for our food. My $100 steak was inedible. I ordered medium rare and got a leather boot (they took it off the bill which I appreciate). The service was bad, the food was bad, the servers were clearly overwhelmed and profusely apologized at least 20 times, even though stuff kept getting worse. I realize Christmas is a stressful night but this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. This was pure ineptitude. At least 10 other tables near us were going through it too. Awful. read more

In town on business and coworkers recommended us out of owners go there for dinner. If I lived here it would be a pass. Ambiance is nice, service was fine. Food was meh. Apps were the best part. Got shrimp and cheesesteak eggs rolls. Both were good. Cesar salad was swimming in dressing and was super salty. The croutons were so chewy after two I avoided the rest. Lots of brown on the lettuce which was also mostly white and almost no green. The bread and butter they brought out were good but the butter had no butter flavor and was white? Then the steak was disappointing to say the least. The salmon one of us got was so small. The Mac and cheese you can avoid it was not good. Mashed potatoes were good and nicely whipped. Asparagus was fine. Biggest thing is most of the items just lacked flavor. For the price I would not be going there if I was a local there has to be better places around. read more

My wife and I chose this steakhouse to celebrate our anniversary and were excited to try something new. Over the years, we've had the opportunity to enjoy many steakhouses, so we came in with high expectations. The venue itself was very nice--comfortable, not overcrowded, and pleasantly quiet. Service was attentive, and the drinks were well made and enjoyable. We opted for traditional prime steaks rather than Wagyu. The cuts were fair, with decent marbling, but unfortunately the steaks lacked flavor. When the waitress asked how everything tasted, I requested some salt in hopes it would help, but even with seasoning, the steaks still fell short. Overall, the atmosphere and service were positives, but the steak itself did not meet our expectations for a steakhouse of this caliber. read more

We went to Sullivan's for an anniversary dinner, and we're pretty disappointed. We ordered the fixed price menu, the wedge salad and seafood bisque were good. I had a fillet, he had a strip, both with mashed potatoes. My fillet was good, but his strip was very salty. Our potatoes were room temperature, not warm. We added the lobster mac & cheese to our order, which was also room temperature. For dessert I had the Keylime pie and he had the cheesecake, both tasted like they were prepackaged. The crust was soggy. The service was good. We will not go back. It's kind of shocking how a business can give such poor quality goods, but be considered upscale based on their name and location. I will say we're not picky people but this meal fell way short of par. read more

The food is excellent as well as the service. Eric did an amazing job as the server. I will definitely be back and ask for him next time

Josh did a great job attending to us. We ordered everything he recommended. 10/10, would happily risk needing stretchy pants again. read more

We went the Sunday of Valentines Day weekend for dinner. The wife loved her salmon with sweet potato casserole. I had a fantastic NY strip cooked perfectly with a salted loaded baked potato. Great meal with attentive service from Jennifer. I tried a smoked old fashioned drink special called Burning Love. They served it in a glass case. Good drink!! read more

Not worth the money. Food was just ok. Service was fine. Ambiance was nice but Wouldn't go back. If you're going to charge that much the cooks better be top notch! We waited over 30 minutes just for water and the waiter to come over. Not impressed! read more

I came here to celebrate a special occasion and we decided for a more lively scene so we sat at the bar. It was one of those places that is sectioned off from the main dining room and bar area for a different ambiance. We were attended to quickly since we were at the bar counter and our drinks were made in a timely fashion. The bartender was friendly and even chit chatted with us for a bit which was actually very nice. We ordered sliders, mini beef wellingtons, and a Philly steak sandwich. I felt like they all had a similar taste but the prices seemed fair and the sandwich and sliders came with fries. Overall we had a great time but next time, we will try the full dinner menu and experience. We did get a complimentary dessert for our celebration which was a nice touch! read more

I dined here with some friends on a weeknight and had very good service. Our new waitress, Genevieve, was by herself for the first time. She was very good. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. The last time I was here for dinner we had lots of issues with steak temperatures so I was very pleased. The manager came by to see if we needed anything. It was just a very nice evening. read more

Great food and presentation was amazing! Staff were very friendly and helpful! I recommend the restaurant for anyone! read more

Had a steak and potatoes that were just ok and the potatoes were cold. Also, the key lime pie was terrible. It was an insult to key lime pies everywhere. Take it off the menu or do it right. Honestly, I've never had a lousy dessert at an upper scale restaurant so this was perplexing. Expected so much more for this meal especially at the price point. Also, there was a dress code sign and plenty of people were in jeans. Jeans are plenty appropriate for this place. In addition, my friend was billed for my drink and a side. Plenty of better steak restaurants out there with quality. read more

This is a follow-up to my November 4 post about a disappointing experience at Sullivan's Steakhouse. The general manager, Lisa, contacted me via ND after reading my post and asked for a do-over. My friend and I took her up on it, and here's an overview of how it went: The waitresses (the one who served us originally and one who served us on the second visit) went out of their way to be friendly, gracious, and apologetic for what happened previously. Lisa came by our table and chatted, making sure we were taking full advantage of the comp'd happy hour. We sat inside, not wanting to find out if the problem with birds pulling out bits of cotton had been resolved. Drinks and appetizers were very good. (We've been there enough to know what food we like and what to stay away from.) The only negative I can say is that Josh, the manager who was so rude on our earlier visit, did not come over to apologize or even ask if everything was alright, even though he was in the restaurant--the only people who apologized were women, when the original issue lay with a man. So kudos to Lisa for the do-over and major kudos to Nevaeh and our first waitress (I am embarrassed that I can't recall her name, even though I can see her face.) I don't know what to tell you about Josh, but he's not my employee to deal with. read more

The service was beyond slow. While our server was kind, we were checked on infrequently and all of orders took at least 45 minutes. Even getting my soda took 30 minutes. The worst part is that the restaurant was near empty. I understand if staff is hustling on a busy day and things take longer but there was no one. Our tab was over $700 and I think for paying that much, the service needs to be on top of everything. We wanted a picture taken and the waitress seemed very uninterested in interacting with us. The food was just okay. read more

Food is great, ambiance is welcoming, and Michael is the best bartender in the KC area!

Exceptional Thanksgiving dinner that cost $52 per person, less than most restaurants were charging. I figured there was trickery involved. I was right! I fully expected them to try their best to get me to drink alcohol and they did not disappoint. The waiter suggested Rambeur Chardonay, which is $25 a glass, when most glasses were $13 - $15. I ordered a very tasty $13 glass. I had a choice of 4 salads. I chose the Wedge and every restaurant I have ever been to has bacon on the salad, included in the price. The waiter asked me what seemed like an odd question "Do you want bacon?" I said yes. Later when I got my bill my friend's charge was what I expected, $52 and mine was $58. I asked the waiter why the different charge? He said I asked for bacon...it was a $6 upcharge that they tried to hide from the customer. Sneaky! I was not pleased! Service was otherwise very good, the portion was small but tasty. Would have given this restaurant a 5 rating, but I was disappointed in all the price trickery. Doubt I will return. read more

Enjoyed the food! Well seasoned, Oscar style was a good touch! Recommend getting it on the steak. The dry Aged steak wasn't as nutty as I had at another place, but I liked this steak better! Sauce was pretty good, sweet and savory. I really recommend getting the beef wellington bites, smooth, soft, and super tasty. Would come again read more

Sullivan's Steakhouse offers a classic upscale dining experience with a warm, sophisticated atmosphere and attentive service. The menu features high-quality steaks cooked to perfection, along with standout appetizers -- especially the Wellington bites, which were delicious. Our server, Eric, was incredibly attentive and took the time to answer all of our questions, making the experience even better. We can't wait to go back. read more

We recently had dinner at Sullivan's and our server was Kyle. He did an excellent job of answering questions and being attentive. The food and drinks were delicious. He did not rush us so we were able to enjoy a nice slow anniversary dinner with friends. There was music in the bar that we could hear in the restaurant as we enjoyed our meal. It was not too loud and really added to the ambience of the restaurant. We would recommend Sullivan's highly and when you go in, be sure to ask for Kyle as your server. read more

Wonderful evening catching up with family and it was not busy so we really relaxed and the wait staff took great care of us. We started off with cocktails the spicy margarita was not very spicy the knockout martini was nice refreshing. The oysters were the highlight for me. Very fresh just delicious!! The ahi tuna was nice cooked perfect the sauce around it was not complementing the tuna for my taste buds. The steaks we ordered were cooked to our specifications. Very tender enjoyed them throughly! We splurged and had dessert the banana foster bread pudding was a hit so nice and moist and had that fresh banana taste! I'm so pleased they did not use any artificial flavoring! Wonderful evening they had live music in the bar area and we could hear it not too loud but just nice background music very good singer! read more

I feel like I went to Sullivan's for a party and no one showed up. I went to Sullivan's with a friend on a Friday afternoon for a 1:00PM lunch and we were quite literally the only customers in the dining room, which made for an awkward vibe. The music piped into the dining room also created a weird vibe. My friend got the Business lunch (an outdated title IMO) with the Lobster Bisque and steak, and I ordered the French Onion Soup and a Salad. We both loved half of our food. His steak, and my salad were superb! The Lobster Bisque and French Onion Soup were not good. Both left us wanting for more salt, flavor, taste....something. For the price, I would say Sullivan's was not really worth it. It is a lovely restaurant, but perhaps a little too pricey and upscale for a casual lunch in Leawood. read more

Service was horrible - our server had zero personality and left us for long periods of time. Never checked to see if we were enj our meal. Food was horrible - salmon was to be medium rare and it was medium well. No skin?? Every high end restaurant knows how important it is to crisp the skin and leave it on!! The filet had a sauce that was as horrible as A1 steak sauce and was unevenly cooked (very rare in some and very well in others) Ambiance was nice Will not be returning-a waste of $300 read more

All staff are professionals with many years in hospitality. Food was top notch we ate lunch at 1:00 on Thanksgiving 2025.

Not the best experience. Went for an anniversary dinner. Ordered a French 75 - got a Lemon Drop. Had deviled egg appetizer. It was fine. Didn't seem freshly prepared. Way over priced. Ordered scallops and risotto for main course and it came out cold. Came back with hot scallios and cold risotto. My Husband did enjoy his steak on the prix fixe menu. Expected way better experience - especially for the price. read more
