Sullivan’s Steakhouse

Sullivan’s Steakhouse is a well-established American steakhouse concept that first opened its doors in Austin, Texas in 1996. The restaurant is known for its classic Chicago-inspired atmosphere, prime steaks, and a strong focus on wine and cocktails. Over nearly three decades, Sullivan’s has grown its presence in major cities and affluent suburbs, appealing to both business diners and guests celebrating special occasions.

A significant milestone in the brand’s history came in 2021, when Dividend Restaurant Group acquired Sullivan’s Steakhouse. This transition marked the start of a new chapter, with a renewed emphasis on operational quality and thoughtful expansion. In the years since, the company has steadily increased its footprint, targeting high-traffic mixed-use and lifestyle centers that attract consistent evening and weekend dining. As of November 2025, Sullivan’s operates 13 locations across the United States, including in markets such as Raleigh, Charlotte, Houston, and Seattle. The brand has maintained a measured growth strategy, focusing on select metropolitan areas in the Southeast, Texas, the West Coast, and the Midwest.

Sullivan’s has evolved in recent years by enhancing its private dining and group event offerings, which has made it a preferred venue for corporate gatherings and celebrations. The company does not franchise, and all real estate and development matters are managed directly by Dividend Restaurant Group. With its established reputation, consistent traffic drivers, and adaptability to a range of upscale settings, Sullivan’s Steakhouse continues to be a strong anchor for dining destinations in both urban and suburban environments.
