Savanna Restaurant

Savanna Restaurant is a hidden gem! I've gone many times, to both this location and north center. The food is consistently good and service is always friendly. On this visit, I got huevos rancheros. The dish is presented so beautifully and is delicious every time I order it! Other orders on this visit were chilaquiles verdes, breakfast tacos, and a pancake combo that comes with two pancakes, two eggs, and choice of meat. Everyone enjoyed their food. It happened to be my birthday last time I went, and the staff brought a delicious carrot cake and sang happy birthday to me! So fun. I love the decor and the patio is nice when the weather allows. Lots of families frequent the restaurant and everyone's friendly. It does get busy on Sundays but the wait isn't long, even when we've had large parties.

Savanna is my friend's go-to breakfast/brunch spot for when people are visiting. I'd had one of their locations bookmarked because I thought their menu, specifically the sweet pancake selection and the Ecuadorian twists, was interesting. So when my friend and I wanted to go out for breakfast, he suggested this and another place and I happily chose this place.I got the llapingacho benedicts and tropical berry smoothie (the benedicts came with a side of house potatoes, salad, or fruit, and I got the potatoes) and my friend got the pancakes and chicken sandwich. He thought the pancakes were good but nothing special (I took a bite and also thought they were good), but he Loved the chicken sandwich and was super happy with it.I thought both the llapingachos benedict and the tropical berry smoothie were yummy, but not amazing/out of this world. I enjoyed the meal though and I'd come back again and try something new (I was eyeing the abuelitas pancakes, they look good).

Just randomly searched up a breakfast restaurant while I was in the area(used Yelp of course!) and came across this gem!. I went on a Sunday around noon and got seated immediately. I chose to sit on their sidewalk patio. Very nice ambiance and super cozy! Ordered the signature omelette which was called "the savanna". This thing was amazing! We'll seasoned and a nice size. I was feeling greedy after my 3hr road trip so I ordered the French toast also!(don't judge me!). Everything was so fresh and warm! Great establishment! Keep up the good work!

Breakfast wasn't bad however the place was way too noisy. I'm looking to relax and have breakfast with my husband, not have to yell at each other to talk.

Food here is plated beautifully, quality ingredients, and tasty. They also have a nice array of juices and coffee beverages. Enjoyed the open air windows and lively music while we had a lovely Saturday brunch. Service was pretty quick and just the right amount of attention.

What we ordered: Red Velvet pancakes, vanilla milkshake, mango/strawberry smoothie (drinks not pictured) and Llapingachos Benedict.For me the star of the show was the Llapingachos Benny, made with Ecuadorian potatoes cakes, grill tomatoes, pork chorizo, poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise with house potatoes served on the side. I switched the pork chorizo for turkey, which was very flavorful and not lacking--I switched the potatoes for fresh fruit. The only thing that would have made this even more irresistible was if it were served more hot to temperature. Now I will say what turned it up a notch was adding some Cholula hot sauce, excellent flavor component. The service was good and the restaurant gives family vibes.

See my previous review. We've had several meals from Savanna and all have been excellent. Staff apologized because they said it might take longer than usual. Lol so not as fast as usual which was totally fine! We did not wait long at all. Many people this morning but still a very spacious place with plenty of seating. We will obviously be back!

At first glance the restaurant looked nice, clean and had a bunch of good reviews. So I went out on a limb to check them out. To sum up my visit in one word: Disappointed. My Meat lovers skillet was underwhelming and greasy. It had thinly sliced sausage, the ham was cut up lunch meat, I barely noticed the bacon and the eggs were rubbery with no flavor. My pancake tasted like there was a ton of cinnamon in it, sorry but my level of disappointment compelled me to write a review.

The food, the service and the ambience was perfect. I ordered their potato Benedict and had then change it to turkey chorizo instead of pork and it was really good. I needed to salt it a bit but I like adding my own salt so it's not too salty. I would totally come back here again. Oh I had a salad with it and the salad was nicely tossed.

A delightful experience from start to finish. Nice atmosphere, extensive breakfast and brunch menu selections, many with a Latin flair. We had a chorizo Benedict and an elote skillet. I'm anxious to go back and try some of their crepe, pancake and waffle selections. Our waitress was efficient and pleasant.
