My daughter and her new husband booked Savage and Cooke Aka (Redwood Empire) as their venue for their reception. They have been closed with a change of ownership and they were the first event under new ownership, We couldn't have been more pleased. They didn't have an events manager yet. Thank you to Kat for making sure we had an amazing event. Many of their management team came to this location to pitched in and make it perfect! The venue is located in the second floor. Dark hardwood floors and light oak bourbon barrels are around and through the venue. Wow what ambience! Elegant and romantic vibe. Currently not open for walk ins, but believe you can call and setup a bourbon/whiskey tasting. Would be a great location for corporate events as well. read more

Savage And Cooke - The event room on the second floor. - Distilleries Near Me - Vallejo, California

Our third visit and we feel like we're getting a sense of the rhythm of the place. First, the space is cool. Industrial, post cold-war leftover structure they made their own. Amid derelict epic dry dock gantry crane trusses and girders and concrete and 19th century brickwork and the potential fragrances of nuclear/PCBs/dioxin toxic soils underfoot. Don't stand in one place too long, I think. Enough o' that. Dining space is appointed consistent with the industrial surroundings yet still feels warm. Some hi-tops in bar area ready to go. Several tables around the dining space in various deuce/four-top plans. Full bar has several stools at the beautifully carved arcade with one of the most energetic, personable, knowledgeable bartenders this side of the bay bridge. He'll lay out the mash bill for every one of their house distilled spirits if u ask. Legend. Their distilled selections are impeccable and should be sampled while ur there. Wine and beer list is well considered and covers the bases. Menu is fried chicken/southern/soul spirited done consistently and well. My highlights being the pork braised collards with a touch of spice, chicken sandwich and crinkle cuts. Mmmm, pot likker. Don't miss that. Sandwich is robust, crispy, dressed flavorful and balanced. Crinkle cut fries crispy and fluffy inside. Dippin' heaven. Dining service can feel a bit sluggish, disjointed and inattentive at times. Don't fear being a little assertive for what u want, staff are gracious always even if a little behind the vibe. Consider also their scheduled hours of operation. Now thurs thru Sunday. What we've found is by Sunday afternoon u may face a lack of many things from the menu. Our last: Order BLT salad? No bacon. No tomatoes. No go. Ok. How 'bout fried green beans? No green beans. Kinda felt like, "Ok, tell me what u do have." Chicken sandwiches? Yep. Ok do that. Thats the way it goes sometimes. By the time my belly was full with yummy chicken I wasn't mad at 'em. The awesome after lunch S&C bourbon manhattan at the bar further mellowed my mild service-harsh. Get in, get early. Rest rooms are to the left of the bar. Clean and roomy. Come as u are unisex appointments. Hand wash station as you return to dining room. Joe Bob says go Savage what they're Cooke-n. read more

A bit of a gem tucked away on Mare Island. Quiet location with nice views. They have great spaces for small and big events. The whiskey tour was very cool and eye opening with explanations of the history of the buildings, the island itself, and their whiskeys. Lots of chicken options!. Since I was here for a group tour, I had to order off a separate menu. Chicken wings was enough to get me full. I would say if you're getting a biscuit, you MUST ask for their honey butter. It is absolutely delicious. Their homemade BBQ sauce was also delicious. Tasted like a BBQ mayo mix. If you want a different change of pace and scenery, give Savage & Cooke a try! read more

First time here. I believe this place was bought by redwood empire. Anyhow to the review. Atmosphere: We went during lunch around 1235pm. Kitchen is open and service was great. Not many people here this early but it was quiet and relaxing for a nice lunch with alcohol. Food: Best curly fries I've had. I'm not sure what it was but soo good. Good seasoning, not overly cooked with perfect balance between fries and soft inner potato. Chicken bacon pizza. It was delicious. The cheese has a strong aroma but very tasty. Chicken and bacon weren't burnt. I would get this again. Pork apple sliders. It's good but not for my flavor profile. I don't like flavored items in my food. The wifey loved it though. She enjoyed it more than the pizza. Whiskey, they are having a big sale on their savage and cooke brand. We had a small flight from the redwood empire. Decent pours for the price. Overall, good chill place if you go early before the rush. It's in a nice area that you can walk around if you want. read more

Now here's a cute lil hidden gem out on Mare Island that my friends and I decided to visit this past weekend. Savage and Cooke is conveniently right by the water and offers a nice mix of industrial allure, local treasure, and social intimacy all in one. The venue is super spacious and offers the chance for groups of all kinds (pairs, small groups, large groups, etc.); during the daytime you have a cute view of the ferry building and the likes across the water. Lunch here on a sunny weekend was a great idea. I was able to try the following: - Watermelon Margarita: delicious if you like drinks with a little spice and smokiness to it! Staff told me that drinks are made in house and I was impressed. I liked that it kind of reminded me of an upscale michelada (but that was due to the spice). - Spicy Chicken Sandwich: Pretty solid for a chicken sandwich made at a distillery! It wasn't overwhelming and the flavor could've been a lot spicier, but the crispiness did what it needed to. - Cajun Fries: I feel like no place can ever go wrong if they offer Cajun fries... and this is simply one another example of "yup, it's good" Service here was excellent. Staff were sweet and very attentive, plus super informative too! I'd recommend this spot to anyone in the Vallejo area trying to stay close but catch a view and a good bonding experience. read more

Maps does not give good directions. Drive to the parking lot with the metal poles. Park and walk inside the metal poles. The tiny building that sits in the middle on your right is the spot. There was no signage, just guess work). The first time I went, it was under a different ownership and they had jambalaya. When I say compliments to the chef, I haven't had a Jambalaya (1000/10) that was that good since I went to New Orleans. When I went back after the new ownership, it was no longer on the menu. Very disappointing, they should have kept that on the menu (hopefully it makes a comeback). The fried chicken was decent (6/10) (but I like to taste my seasoning)and the biscuit was a 10/10 The decor was nicely set, if you are a cold person, bring a jacket, it's a cement space and the doors are Mare Island Old. read more

Alright, this is going to be a weird review because I am going to cater it to two different people. So, please read whichever applies to you. If you are a whiskey lover, like niche/unique places, have some extra money to spend on food and drinks AND are willing to wait more than your typical time for a restaurant service, this place is for you. The drinks are fantastic. Their rye is the best rye I've ever had. The food was tasty and pleased my southern girl heart. Overall, a special spot that we would drive out of our way to go to in the future on a day when we have no plans other than to just enjoy each other's company. If you are just looking for a spot to eat and drink and want it fast so that you can go exploring or to your next activity, have kiddos that are busy and can't sit for long, or aren't generally interested in craft/unique things but just want your standard drink, no fuss, I would not recommend going here because I know you will probably be disappointed. I am looking out for you as someone that can be all of these things on any given day! The staff is polite and kept communicating with us as we waited over an hour for our food. But, we were there for the experience and when the food came, it did not disappoint us. Also, they kept the drinks coming and we enjoyed each one. We will be back and I hope my fellow Yelpers give it a try if it sounds like something you'd enjoy! read more

The vibes were giving industrial feels with a beautiful upscale touch and I love that. The drinks were strong and in point... no one in our past had any complaints admit the drinks... the spicy chicken wasn't spicy at all though... the taste was pretty good but of I order spicy, that's what I want. The fries were unevenly seasoned but crispy. I'd say the dessert and drinks are the starts at this location. The servers were super accommodating. I was impressed with how they handled multiple larger parties in such a small space. Just don't come here needing to sit right away unless you have reservations... Definitely try them out. Happy eating!!! read more

Savage And Cooke - Drinks on us!!!! - Distilleries Near Me - Vallejo, California

A few friends and myself went here for a tasting for their whiskey. Unfortunately the restaurant was under renovation so we didn't get to try it. The tour guide and whiskey was great! I would recommend going. However, I purchased a bottle and I guess the top wasn't secure so when I went to take it out of the trunk the top had come off and 1/4 of my whiskey spilled out. I reached out via, email (oddly the only way to contact them) but no response after multiple attempts. So I will say they need more people covering the emails and a way to contact someone live. Had they followed up 5 stars would have been given. read more

If y'all know me, then you know I'm something of a chicken sando connoisseur. If there's a chicken sandwich on the menu, I'm there! Yes, this is a whiskey distillery but ya girl doesn't drink like that. I like to eat though and the menu doesn't disappoint. TBH the menu is pretty limited. It's mostly fried chicken options, a couple seafood options, so if you like red meat then options might be a tad light for you. They have two chicken sando options. Regular or spicy. I would normally lean towards the spicy version, but it looked way too saucy on other people's photos, so I decided to opt for the regular flavor to get a base standard. The chicken was juicy, the honey butter gave it a nice layer of sweetness, the slaw was fresh, but it was definitely missing that heat I like. I added a side of Korean BBQ sauce and that took the sando up like 5 notches! Definitely get the KBBQ sauce (upcharge for sauces though). This comes with sea salt fries too but I opted for cajun fries instead. The fries are crinkly.. not my fav cut and the cajun flavor doesn't come through either. The older you get, the more veggies are crucial to your diet so give the harissa cauliflower bites a try! The flavor on this is sooooo good, and it's served with a greek yogurt dip that's tangy and creamy, and balances the spice on the cauliflower so well. My only gripe is this isn't crispy the way I expected. Some of the cauli chunks were huge too, so the smaller chunks were much better since they had more of a crisp. The cajun crab dip was okay.. Tasted more fishy than crabby. These are served with crostini but some of them tasted more stale than crisp. I actually dipped the fries into this and enjoyed that a little more. I'd probably skip this the next time, and opt for the cauli again instead. All over IG, I saw the sea salt chocolate chunk cookie so I knew I was gonna finish my meal strong with this one, but it fell a bit short. The cookie is huge, jam packed with chocolate, and came out warm, but it fell flat. The sea salt sprinkles were nice and added that little oomph I was looking for but it just didn't have the buttery, chewy taste/texture that I look for in a cookie. Is it weird to say the chocolate chunks didn't taste chocolatey? lol IDK but it was just alright. Their other dessert option is peach cobbler but this one also fell short. It comes in a mini pie tin, and had nice chunks of peaches in it, but the crust was super sweet, kinda dense instead of like a crisp. The cobbler overall was just too sweet from crust to filling, so a miss for me. Okay so maybe the food isn't the best, but it's nice vibe and the employees are super nice. Do expect a wait, even if it's not super busy. It's a good sized space but seating is limited. It's kind of hidden, and if the door is closed, hard to find as well. Just follow the signs! read more

A little in the cuts, but certainly worth it. Great cocktails, food and atmosphete. The customer service was phenomenal *****. If you're a whiskey fan, then this is worth a trip to Mare Island. Would definitely recommend the fried chicken sandwich paired w/ their whiskey in a jar cocktail. A nice southern feel of crispy fried chicken w/ their version of an old fashioned. The shrimp poboy was good, just be ready to have your bread and fries soaked in the sauce. If you're feeling fancy in the summer, the paper crane is a nice cocktail for a warm summer day. Would definetly recommend calling ahead for a reservation, there is limited seating. However the wait time for walk-ups doesn't seem that long. read more

We visited over a year ago when I was heavily pregnant. Food was extremely salty then. Coming back just recently to give it another try, it's much much better! The blue lemonade is still the same very very very sour. It's the same over a year later. You have to order it with alcohol, it's a huge difference. But if you order just the plain lemonade prepared to pucker up and pretty much stay that way! I love sour but it's even too much. The fried chicken sandwich is amazing and as I'm writing this I want another. My husband ordered the shrimp sandwich (forgive me because I can't remember the name) and wish he had went with the fried chicken sandwich. read more

Savage And Cooke - Iced toddy - Distilleries Near Me - Vallejo, California

Bless our hostess during our visit! This was our first stop during a Mare Island birthday adventure. This is honestly the best spot to stop if you know your day is about to have a ton of drinking involved. The food was absolutely incredible. Most of us had either the fried chicken sandwich or the chicken strips. It was so good! Also, do not miss the honey butter... I still think about that butter. We tried just about every cocktail they offered. We were a group of 6 so it was easy to all order something different and try each others but the real standout was the iced toddy. I think by the end we were all ordering that one. We had so many weird and random requests and our waitress was taking it in stride and had a good time with us too. Definitely a place we will be back to! read more

On a lazy Saturday, after lunch, my friend kidnapped me aka just drove without tell me where we were going. After a 35 min drive we ended up on up at Mare Island Navel Shipyard to a hidden whisky distillery. The interior is so nice and on a lazy Saturday had a good amount of people. Drinks were amazing at $15, which is still better than the city. As it is a distillery, you can purchase bottles to go. In the Iced Toddy, they use their bad sweater which is a nice spiced whisky (nothing like fireball). It is a little too sweet for me, would get it with half the honey sweetner. The old fashion was just WOW. The tikka massala apple shrub sounds weird but it is one of the best old fashioned I have had. We didn't dine lunch here but had some fried pickles. Not bad, but really salty. Would prefer to try the fried chicken next time. read more

The first thing I thought when I walked in was that even if the food wasn't that great, I would still give this place 3 to 4 stars just for the buildout and smooth vibes alone. We came here early on a Sunday evening with the hopes of finding something new in Vallejo, and boy - did we. As I said before, this place would've gotten pretty high marks regardless of the food, but since both food and service were on point, it gets all 5. BB read more

The outside of the place is very unassuming -- there's no signage when you walk by, but once you walk in you know you're in a distillery. This is my second time here. Drinks are great, modern, industrial vibe inside with great aesthetics. If you want food, I recommend getting the chicken bacon pizza 7/10, margarita pizza 7/10, and curly fries 9/10. Pork loin sliders comes with a side which was a nice addition! Very full and satisfied. Wish they were open more days out of the week. Service is always friendly and quick. Definitely returning! read more

You know. All I thought Mare Island had was just the Brewing Company. That and that Vino Winery... Tired of beer? Wanna mix it up a little. Try Savage and Cooke. On top of amazing cocktails that have plenty of eats to soak up their elaborate libations. I will say that thought the Fried Chicken was ok. Flavor wasn't anything our of the ordinary for me. The texture was perfect though. What I really liked was the Red Beans and Rice. For some reason it just tasted very homey to me. The Paper Crane cocktail was my favorite as well. I usually will gravitate to cocktails with Aperol. I had no idea though. The place looks really nice inside. Very clean, sleek and modern. The service was on point. Had no problems with parking. I really wanna come back sometime to try more things! read more

Amazing drinks. Such fun atmosphere too. Our bartender was great. You can tell she truly loves her job. She spoke so highly about the restaurant as well as the owner. Drinks weren't cheap, but they do take time making them and use top quality ingredients. You don't feel like you are in Vallejo at all. Building is beautiful. Would be a great location for a family and or corporate get together. There's a cute little winery named Vino Godfather, just walking distance from the location. Food was great! read more

I started off with a tasting of the Bourbons with Michael and he is most knowledgeable. Expanded my bourbon knowledge and got to taste bourbon! First down to have the game it was a great tasting and I bought for myself and Christmas gifts. And I sat down for lunch they specialize in Southern fried Chicken I ordered the leg and thigh with the side of the collard greens and I did add the two hottest sauces and I'll just start off by saying my favorite sauce was the AF!!! The chicken was outstanding the crust on the chicken was even more outstanding cooked to perfection tender and juicy inside the collard greens were amazing I definitely like adding a little heat to those as well with the sauce I'm not a big biscuit expert but those biscuits were nice and Flaky. So go for the bourbon and stay for the food or vice versa both are fantastic read more

We went for my works Christmas Party, they held it in one of their party rooms. Let me just say the ambiance was beautiful. There's lots of parking in Mare Island. If you walk up the stairs you can see where the whiskey is being made. The Food- my work pre ordered and they had Fried Chicken Strips, Caesar Salad, Shrimp with Grits. I think if you individually order these items it would have been good. The Chicken Strips were served with Hot Sauce, which was fine, but it almost tasted like they forgot to season the batter and the chicken! They were running late, 30 minutes past the serve time, so maybe they were rushing. The folks I sat with were saying they forgot the seasoning too! Dessert they served was Peach Cobbler. Maybe I will try it on a different day? I read all the Yelp reviews before going to the party, and it was mixed reviews. Hopefully they read this. read more

Cute little spot on Mare Island. Small food menu but everything is pretty tasty. Recommend getting the chicken sandwich which also comes with a side of fries. Usually get the fried pickles but the last visit was a bit salty. Took a star off based off service from last visit. Last time I had visited, we had ordered via the QR code so we were in the process of doing that during this visit until a server came by and to be honest we felt a bit guilted into ordering from him...server was nice, but just don't think we needed to be made to feel bad when we were ordering thru the QR code. when it came time to pay, it was really busy and we had to wait awhile to pay for our bill when we needed to leave and it would've been quicker had we just ordered via the QR code. Overall still decent food and cute drinks. Not too much seating area so be sure to come early before it gets busy. read more

Absolutely loved them! I've been here before, but this was for a company party and I loved this place. The bartenders and servers were very informative, patient and kind. The food wasn't the best this time, but I loved the chicken sliders and cauliflower bites, which were favorable. But the jambalaya was very watery and not as tasty. The drinks were amazing! The Blackhattan was so delicious. Definitely need to remember to do by her during the week. read more

It took awhile to find it on Mare Island, and had to stop and look at the map. Parked when I saw other cars in the landing. I figured I'll just walk, but there it was. The ambiance is quite chic, yet low key. I had the absinth drink and another whisky drink I can't recall. But both were good and had a lovely balance. I also ordered the fried chicken sandwich. It was really good. Probably the best I've had in Vallejo. Staff was friendly and everything came out promptly. Id Definately come back for the tour. read more

We did not stop to try the food but it looked delicious. We booked one of their tours and tastings and it was a lot of fun. Their is so much history around this location and the building itself, it is fascinating to learn about the area. The cocktails they create are delicious as well and look so good.

Tucked away amidst the warehouses of Mare Island is this little gem. Overlooking the water on the old naval shipyard, this restaurant touts southern cooking that is simple and savory. Too many times, restaurants try too hard to put their spin on Southern cooking and often times they miss the mark. Savage and Cooke hits the target. Savage and Cooke keeps it simple. Juicy fried chicken with just the right amount of spice. The crisp of the skin is perfect. Not too heavy to overpower the meat. Their greens are the same. Not overcooked and with just the right amount of spice and heat. On Sundays, get the chicken and waffles but ask for a second plate to keep the fried chicken from making the waffles too soft. BBQ Shrimp Po'Boy is rich with flavor. Now the food is yummy but people come for the spirits. Savage & Cooke is known for their whiskies. We tried the Masala Old Fashioned and Henhouse IPA. We haven't tried the whiskies yet but will order a flight the next time we're there. However, we did purchase a four pack of premixed Blood Orange Manhattans. I think we just found another great distillery and tasting house in our quiet little part of Solano County. Make the drive. It will be worth it. read more

This one was tough to write. I love supporting local businesses and want to give solid 5s when I can, but for this spot, it's a 2.7. I came here for a wedding in September and it was great. The food and drinks served at the wedding were delicious, so about a week later, I decided to come on a Sunday with my family to brag about how great it was. Wow, the service really made me look bad. It was 9/15/24, came in about 3:00ish. It wasn't too busy but most likely, understaffed. We came in and got seated rather quickly. Ordered some drinks from the bar. Waited, waited, waited...about 30 minutes later, 2 of our 3 drinks came. Waitress said the 3rd one would be right up. 10mins passed and I had to tell another waitress that my drink was still not here. Then I watched the bartender make it on the fly, only to hand deliver to the wrong table. So it took a total of about 40 minutes to get my ONE drink. Food on this day was meh. They ran out of fried pickles, which was what I really wanted. The chicken was dry, and they forgot an order of greens, only to bring it to me several minutes later, and then when it came time to pay, I was overcharged an item, which they did fix before I paid. Glad I reviewed the tab first. Damn...all the bragging I did beforehand made me look hella dumb. The food during the wedding though, was excellent. The biscuits were fire. The cookie was good. I know this place is good but man, the day I went was straight up horrible. People, Product, Process. Savage and Cooke has a good people, they just need to improve efficiency. Product is good, but needs to be consistent. Process definitely needs work. I'm not giving up on this spot. Owner/Manager/Staff, if you are reading this, please use it as constructive criticism to do better. Vallejo needs places like this. Patrons, if you're reading this, I hope your experience is better than mine was! Savage and Cooke, you have potential. Please make it happen! read more

I've been to Savage and Cooke for distillery tastings and love their spirits. When I heard they were offering cocktails and food, I was eager to check them out. You walk in, find a seat, and order from your phone using the QR code at your table. It does tack on an automatic 20% tip as an FYI. What I ordered: lavender gin fizz to drink and the fried chicken sandwich to eat. The drink was strong, a light lavender flavor and was overall delicious - and pretty too! The fried chicken sandwich had honey drizzled over it, which I felt really gave it the good flavor. I want to try the spicy version next time. What my friend ordered: pineapple bourbon drink and shrimp and grits to eat. Her drink had a delicious sweet and Smokey flavor. She was also served an ample amount of grits to go with her shrimp and ended up taking half the grits home. Overall, service was good, cocktails were delicious and the food was a hit. read more

There are no reservations, but the parking is plentiful. There was about an hour wait when I arrived, but they serve you drinks outside, so that makes the time go past fairly quickly. The interior I love the design I love aesthetic, it is a bright spot on Mare Island. The servers were extremely slow, I mean horribly. So much so our fried pickles (App) came out AFTER our entrees. They needed up bringing us two because the kitchen messed up. It seems like on this day they were understaffed and overwhelmed. They were also out of a couple items that I wanted to try. It was a Mardi Gras theme, so it was one of their specials, the crab dip and one other item. They eventually told the people waiting outside that they were out of several items. This could absolutely be a gem just needs a couple of tweaks. read more

Served RAW CHICKEN, TWICE. Zero stars if possible. Ambiance is nice, modern decor but terrible experience. We came in on a Saturday and it wasn't very crowded. I ordered the fried chicken dark meat with a biscuit for $14, collard greens & mac n cheese $8 each, blue lemonade $4, partner got a cocktail $15, shrimp & grits, & we ordered two sauces $1 each (one hot sauce & one honey butter). I was excited to try the food bc of great reviews. Drinks came out first & for the price was not at all impressed with looks or garnish. Very basic. Cocktail tasted good but lemonade was extremely tart & not good. Food finally came & looked good. I tried the sides first which were an extremely small portion for $8 each, collard greens were decent but mac n cheese was nasty. Mac n cheese had an excess of flour in the sauce so the texture was gritty & gross. I bit into the chicken & I really wish I hadn't. The chicken was red & BLEEDING! I was disgusted. It even bled onto my biscuit. When I told the waitress the chicken was raw there was no apology, she simply responded "Okay I'll go tell the cook." My partner basically finished his meal before she even came out with another piece of chicken which was so small I thought she had brought me a sampler. When I asked where the rest of my meal was she seemed confused & said, "oh you didn't eat the rest?" Like, what? Why would I continue to eat a plate that is covered in RAW CHICKEN BLOOD? She went back to get another plate for me. She came back maybe 15 mins later & when I cut into the second plate of chicken it was RAW, AGAIN. Still bleeding. This time the cook came out & had the nerve to argue with me & tell me that the chicken was perfectly cooked & that chicken "have veins." I ripped into the chicken & said, "mamm this is blood. This is raw." She continued to argue with me & after much back & forth finally said she would comp the plate. She then went to the bartender & showed her my plate & continued to argue that it wasn't raw. Lady, the juices are running red. I went to the bartender after who was printing our check & told her my experience. She apologized & comped the entire meal as she should. This was a ridiculous experience besides the bartender none of the waitresses or the cook seemed to have any customer service skills let alone knowledge of food safety. On top of the RAW CHICKEN, the prices are ridiculous for what you get. $1 for a drop of hot sauce? Girl, what? $8 for some sandpaper mac n cheese? $15 for a cocktail with zero garnish? They are trippin. For a place supposedly known for its fried chicken they sure don't seem to be bothered by giving salmonella poisoning to their patrons. After I left I was sick & threw up. Would never ever go here again & would not recommend unless food poisoning is your thing. read more

It feels far out of the way, and is so inviting once there. The ordering process took a little bit to master, and they did offer to take orders. Once we figured it out, we enjoyed some great food and drink. The chicken wings with the hot sauce were cooked to perfection, crispy and not greasy. It is a small order, though. They have a small selection of craft cocktails. My wife had the summertime and it was well crafted and balanced. I went with a whiskey flIght. The server explained each pour, the grain bill, and made a few jokes as the result of a lost bet. He made it fun. My overall favorite was the rye whiskey, so I bought a bottle to take home. Their bottle prices are very reasonable. We will be back! read more
