    Steak Skillet W/ Poached Egg

    It's a Cozy corner breakfast place Service 10/10 Food 8.9/10 Price 8/10 It's a 8.96/10

    Ecuadorian Hominy breakfast

    Bright, easy-going place, great location on a corner and loved all the windows, though I'm not sure how cold they would be to sit next to during a Chicago winter. Their hominy breakfast was beautiful, but had a much milder flavor than I expected, considering all the ingredients. The green sauce that came on the side had a mild heat, I ended up adding some Cholula to provide some kick. Service was easy before 10am, but we saw the place fill up quickly and the staff clearly bustling to keep up. Nevertheless, we never had to re-ask for anything and water refills were taken care of automatically and briskly. Great place would come again, relatively easy to get to, moderate parking in the area, great 'middle place' between suburbs immediately north of the city and the NW side of the city.

    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.

    We walked to Savanna on a whim, I was in the area getting an oil change. It was the best decision we made! The food was amazing, the server, Liz was so kind and welcoming. She recommended we have the Llapingachos Benedict and Mote Pillo for myself and my dad... and boy did she not steer us wrong, the food was so tasty and full of flavor.

    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).

    Overcooked egg
    John O.

    Great service and vibe. Offered gf French toast and the waitress took us through so many options recommended. Downside was the poached egg was overcooked, and the potatoes requested well done were not crispy. Would go back

    She has the Strawberry Smoothie
    Megan B.

    Amazing food and service. The people here are kind. The strawberry smoothie is possibly one of the best smoothies I have ever had. Savanna is very colorful and well lit. The music they play is not very loud so you can have a normal conversation but it's not too quiet. Over all Savavnna is an amazing restaurant!

    Tres leches french toast
    Richard B.

    Our new breakfast spot. We started our journey here with mole chilaquiles, tinga tostadas and tres leches french toast to share in the middle. Everything was nicely plated, fresh and absolutely delicious. Service was great and wifey loved the vibe. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone here. Pricing is in the middle and well worth it. Easy parking and room to breathe in the dining room. THIS IS THE NEW SPOT! Thank you

    Glad we decided to stop in while passing through the neighborhood-service was attentive, the food came out quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. Open windows provided a breezy escape from the heat.

    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!

    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.

    Little Bad Wolf - Bad Burger and a side of mac and cheese

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

Came in with a pretty big appetite so got two apps: Beet Salad and, of course, their phenomenal Wisconsin Cheese Curds. Both of them hit but I just have to say something extra about these cheese curds. I've had a lot of fried cheese curds in Chicago and they all just tasted and even looked like mozzarella bits. A big disappointment. But these are so different. They are unique in flavor and the tempura batter is just right. They are definitely a head above the rest. These right here are the gold standard of cheese curds in my book. The beet salad was incredibly refreshing accompanied by a yogurt sauce and pepita seeds which gave it a great added texture and flavor. For my main I decided on their fan favorite Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and after the first bite I knew exactly why it was a fan favorite. A generous portion of breaded chicken breast fried to a perfect crisp! I'm so glad this place exists! Farm Bar I definitely a favorite of mine. Amazing fresh food served with great service...10/10
