Sullivan’s On The Main Phillipsburg

This place is my local pick of the litter! A sprawling well-decorated establishment “Sullivan's On the Main” is huge inside yet does not have a bad seat in the house. It even has banquet facilities! A "must try" is their bacon that is sliced in-house and has body and taste that could never be duplicated by the pre-sliced “Restaurant Depot” stuff. Service is friendly...once they get to know you, so newcomers might have to be a bit “charitable” in this respect, but this is common and expected in family-run establishments. Time has proven that to know them is to love them. They treat my family very well and even remember the drink and dining preferences of those whom I only bring on occasion. Some tips for this unique place are: 1. Ordering - Sullivan’s takes great attention to detail. If you order your burger medium-rare or your eggs over-easy, that is the way the food will come out…bar none! If you don’t specify how you want things, it will be somewhat random and some might think inconsistent. So let your voice be heard when ordering and all will be well. 2. Hours - Everyone knows that between 2pm and 4pm is slow time for restaurants, so Sulivan’s found a solution to this…they close. So late lunch or early dinner is O. U. T. - out. Also, they close 2pm on Tue., 1pm on Sun., and are not open Mon., so make sure make sure the OPEN sign is lit before feeding the meter…which leads me to #3 3. Parking - all on-street metered parking, but if you come on the weekend or are there Between 7am and 9am, your don’t have to feed the meters. (verify that to be sure…). In any event, their great prices will make the 25¢ for the hour of parking magically disappear in the grand scheme of things. In short, a meal here will challenge your appetite, woo your tastebuds and promote return visits, yet will not offend the budget seeker. I truly love this place and look forward to my next visit.
