A Rock Hill restaurant serving ‘the best thing that you haven’t had yet’ is set to open
Steamed bagel sandwiches are coming to Rock Hill, stuffed with everything from bacon and eggs to corned beef, chicken salad or pizza toppings.
Sully’s Steamers will open this spring in The Thread. That’s the 400,000-square-foot redevelopment of a former textile mill downtown into office, retail and restaurant space. Sully’s will be on a ground floor corner opposite the 17,000-square-foot ROAR family entertainment center.
The Sully’s menu has more than 30 choices. B-Rad’s Best has meatballs, pepperoni, salami, provolone, peppers and onions with pizza sauce. The Nacho Maximus combines turkey, cheddar and honey mustard with Doritos. Other choices add smoked salmon, roast beef Philly or Reuben options.
Sausage, cream cheese and more traditional breakfast offerings are plentiful, too.
The steamed bagel business started in Greenville, South Carolina. There are now more than a dozen Sully’s Steamers sites in four states. The nearest spots to Rock Hill are in Spartanburg or Davidson, North Carolina.
York County natives Ashley and Montae Monroe, both Clover High School grads, are behind it. Ashley is the main owner-operator.
She and her husband found Sully’s while in Greenville for a friend’s wedding. They ate there a couple of times, then again at the Brevard, North Carolina, site on a family vacation. Then there’s the one in Spartanburg, across from Montae’s old college.
“We always try to go into each of the locations,” Ashley said.
The 1,800-square-foot Rock Hill site offered an opportunity.
It’ll be one of the first openings in The Thread, at the heart of a downtown transformation that has the city sports and event center, businesses, restaurants and apartments all around it. The planned Storyline park to connect downtown attractions will pass in front of Sully’s once it’s complete.
Sully’s will employ about 10 people. It’ll have catering, plus menu items for gluten-free or other customer requests. It’ll be open seven days a week, breakfast through dinner. The Monroes would like to be open by April 1, in time for Rock Hill’s annual Come-See-Me festival.
Still, more than the prime location or the local ties, it’s the food that’ll determine Sully’s success in Rock Hill. And the Monroes can’t wait for folks to try it.
“This is more than cream cheese and bagels,” Montae said. “We like to say it’s the best thing that you haven’t had yet.”
