The sweet potato fries were terrible. As soon as they got to our table, I could smell what seemed like used oil.

After a beautiful service at St. Benedict, we decided to try Savana.

What 893+ diners say about Savanna Breakfast & Lunch Northcenter

As we entered we saw the true picture of our beautiful United States of America, the hall was full of people from almost every part of the world, families and couples were laughing talking and enjoying the food. We were there for breakfast the staff was very welcoming and courteous we had garden omelet orange juice hot tea and French toast. The whole experience was delightful.

“Updated: Another 10/10 for these guys.”

Updated: Another 10/10 for these guys. Even after coming back some time later they delivered fantastic dishes, made perfectly and packed with flavor and thought. When I think of the dishes created here, I'm confident they come with love from the kitchen. Gladly recommend Savanna for anyone looking for a pop of flavor in their day. Original: Wonderful menu, food, service, and atmosphere! I think these guys have something awesome going on. I wish I could have stayed and tried more from the menu but that can be for the future! Come check them out!

“I'm always in search of a great breakfast diner to add to my roster, and Savanna did not disappoint.”

I'm always in search of a great breakfast diner to add to my roster, and Savanna did not disappoint. The staff graciously seated and served my wife and I even though we arrived a mere 30 minutes or so before closing (we called first to avoid making ourselves even more of an imposition). Menu options included both traditional breakfast dishes and those with a welcome flair of Latin influence. I opted for the former with a classic steak and eggs combo, and my wife had the El Mexicano Skillet, both of which were prepared with plenty of flavor and attention to aesthetic detail. We'll definitely visit again and may even decide to take advantage of the outdoor seating should Chicago weather permit!

“Shout out to Pamela.”

Shout out to Pamela! She must read minds-the moment my drink was empty, she appeared with an offer to refill my breakfast martini. I got the llapingachos and the red velvet pancakes. Best pancakes I've maybe ever had. This is a great brunch spot!

“The food was good, I had a breakfast burrito it was good.”

The food was good, I had a breakfast burrito it was good. The sauce was good tell them give extra on the side. I had the breakfast martini with orange marmalade. My wife had the buffalo chicken wrap which was also good and a mojito which I would have drank.

“We came a little late, so we didn’t have to wait for a seat.”

We came a little late, so we didn’t have to wait for a seat. The food was amazing! I loved the Savanna Omelet. Jon got the ChoriBurrito, it has jalapeños, so I couldn’t eat it, but it looked delicious too. Love this place!

“I have loved coming to this place for brunch for years.”

I have loved coming to this place for brunch for years. Viviana is extremely lovely, I enjoy seeing her every time I visit Savannah, and every member of staff has been kind and attentive to me and my friends. The food is always super good (SUPER recommend the Llapingachos), savory or sweet, and we often get a savory dish to eat in-house and order a pancake stack to go eat at home for dessert🤗🥞💛Definitely stop by if you’re in the neighborhood!

We had a great brunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Everyone loved their entrees and the coffee drinks were delish as well. The atmosphere was bright and clean. The service was prompt and polite. Highly recommend.

Delicious! Great breakfast options for kids that you don’t find everywhere. Loved the Oreo pancakes. Yummy choices for adults as well. Loved the mole chilaquiles.

“Charming space, friendly staff, delicious food.”

Charming space, friendly staff, delicious food! Along with the standard breakfast standbys (the pancakes are fluffy and fab), the Ecuadorian potatoes, quinoa breakfast, and turkey chorizo hash were unexpected finds... loved all of it. Next time, the Dulce de Leche French Toast... 🙂 Updated to add: Brought visiting family members for breakfast, and Viviana was incredibly friendly & efficient. (Llapingachos Benedict & Savanna Waffle was fantastic!)
