A Southie Landmark

Back in June of 1951, Dan Sullivan, Sr. opened the stand for the first time offering quality food at reasonable prices and for four generations our philosophy has remained the same. Whether you make us part of your daily constitutional around the Island or are visiting us for the first time-welcome and thanks for being part of the tradition!

Welcome Back!

Since closing our Castle Island location at the end of March, we have been hard at work implementing new systems and guidelines that would enable us to safely serve our customers when the time was right to reopen. In addition to new Safety Guidelines, we have created new Online Ordering (sullys.online), new phone ordering, and a process to take walk-in orders on a limited basis. Our goal is to deliver the same great Sullivan's food and value loved by generations of Bostonians with our same great speed, efficiency, and good humor. We hope your visit to Sullivan's Castle Island gives you and your family some relief and enjoyment during these unprecedented times. Thank you for your support. Please continue to be safe.
