Does anybody remember a restaurant in Cortana Mall called Sullivans?

We're talking way back in the '80s. Had a small buffet set-up.

They made a super eggplant casserole type dish and great fried chicken. There was also a piano player. (Rocky, I think)

Anyway, that was a very nice little restaurant and we used to go there often.

I wonder if they ever had another location after they left Cortana?

Was there a Sullivan's on the Westbank?

Remember going to some buffet there when I was a child.

I remember it. As a matter of fact, I actually went to school and played ball with Mike and Mark, sons of the owner. Both worked there often shucking oysters. Their handshakes were like sticking your hand in a crushing vise. Had my first raw oyster there and been hooked ever since.

Wasn’t that “The Sizzler”?

Was it the restaurant away from the food court and next to one of the secondary anchors like Mervyn’s or Service Merchandise? It had its own dining room. I seem to remember some restaurant with fish tanks in the dining room.

Come to think of it several restaurants in Cortana had their own traditional dining room:

Picadilly
Mama Brava’s
Hopper’s (which became Ruby Tuesday I think)

That was a seafood restaurant and I want to say it was Drusilla but I could be wrong.

It was a Drusilla. Was that where Chelsea Street Pub was too?

Don’t remember Sullivan’s. I remember thinking the Piccadilly there was the fanciest restaurant on planet earth

I did just a little bit of research but I'm blocked from social media at work so Im a bit limited. Was it called Larry K Sullivans? Maybe try that.

It was. They had one one Tom Drive and then the Cortana one. There was also one where Sammys on Highland is now.

It was right across from Piccadilly, in the entrance adjacent to JC Penny, right down from Sears.

Larry K's had barstools and a barledge open to the mall, you could eat raw oysters without even going inside the restaurant.
