Stopped in for brunch with my aunt and uncle and tried a little bit of everything: the Chicken & Waffles with bacon, a Spinach and Swiss omelette with home fries and an English muffin, and a Chicken & Brie sandwich on a brioche bun with home fries. The Chicken & Waffles were the standout. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and paired perfectly with the sweet syrup and smoky bacon. A great balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Spinach & Swiss omelette was light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The spinach and melted Swiss worked well together, and the home fries were nicely seasoned with peppers and onions. The English muffin was a simple but welcome addition. The bird & Brie sandwich was another winner. The brioche bun was soft and buttery, while the brie added a creamy richness that elevated the sandwich. The arugula brought a fresh peppery bite that kept everything balanced. Overall, the food was fresh, portions were generous, and everything was cooked well. The home fries were crispy and flavorful across all the plates. Definitely a solid breakfast/brunch spot that I'd visit again. read more

Long wait for decent-ish food. They say a lot is fresh and if that's the case they may want to check expiration dates. The fresh squeezed orange juice was very comparable to Tropicana. I worked at a diner for 5 years with fresh squeezed and this was fresh out of a box maybe. They don't have a lot of their menu on weekends which is unique, it's typically reversed. They should have a weekend only menu tho as it's frustrating to order things it says they have and they don't. A LOT of fried or super heavy options. I came bc it said fresh but I guess deep fried fresh food is still "fresh." Plates and majority of glasses are plastic. No matter how fresh or not the food is, you still need to eat microplastics. Sugar on the table is all plastic wrapped fake sugar it was impossible to find just REAL raw sugar. Feels like they hopped on a fresh health trend but have a hard time walking that walk. read more

Came with two pieces of bacon and it was delicious! Also got the country ham and it was sooo salty and savory! The mimosas were huge! Like two mimosas in one glass.

To begin the table I was going to have a seat was extremely dirty. I ordered gifts, eggs, bacon, toast and coffee. Food arrives and i look at grits and take a bite and go uh the waitress ask what wrong I said I can't eat these tried bacon and eggs had strange taste. I would not recommend Savor kitchen. However. If you want a truly good breakfast in Wilmington go to goofy omlet. read more

Wow oh wow! I'm quite impressed by how tasty this down- home local diner is. The kids devoured the donut holes and we adults loved the sweet potato biscuits to start (with a tasty cream cheese frosting dip). I had a perfectly vinegared chicken and dumplings (wedneaday lunch special), hub got a great goat cheese omelet off the specials board. Daughter did the best ordering with a fantastic chicken and waffle with juicy perfectly crisp and seasoned thin chicken breast and candied bacon. Her sweet potato fries were great too. Sons scrambled eggs had housemade sausage, very tasty. Love this place. Eat local! read more

We stopped here for a quick bite. Son had the breakfast burrito with home fries and I had the crab cake sliders with house made chips. Everything was tasty and arrived to the table hot. Service was quick and friendly. We sat outside under the awning and while it was windy it was a nice day and the covering provided some shelter from the high winds. If you're looking for an easy breakfast / brunch / lunch spot this could be your next go to. read more

It was a delicious breakfast and a very cute place and I will definitely returning..

A girlfriend wanted to go to lunch recently and was craving the Cows Come Home Bowl so we headed to Savor! We were seated immediately which was awesome because we were so hungry! We ordered our bowls (the Cows Come Home and the South of the Border Bowl). The portions are so big that we both had leftover meals. I also ordered the Boursin Philly which was so good I had a few bites once I got home and then enjoyed the rest for lunch the next day. read more

Came in on a Monday morning relatively early and it wasn't too busy. The employees greeted us and were helpful seating us immediately letting us pick our seats. If you can GET THE BANANA FOSTER WAFFLE. Not going to lie, it's expensive at about $15 (without any sides) but man it was so phenomenal. The eggs and bacon I got as additional sides were also quite good. They have flights of alcoholic coffee which seemed fun. The restaurant was clean and really nicely decorated for Christmas with lights. read more

THE BEST!! I have never been so impressed by a breakfast place before. Not only is everything made from local farms/local businesses, but everything is made fresh and comes out delicious! We sat at the bar because it was packed when we walked in (for good reason), they had three servers running on the floor because of some callouts and they absolutely killed it. The dedication to making everything run as smooth as possible was amazing. It's a small little place of CB road. I will be returning! Great job !! Also our server was Alicia and she is the sweetest! read more

A better breakfast here in town EVER!!!! they have the best food and it seems they are always have some kind of creation... They get five stars read more

I've lived in Wilmington 2 years and I am not sure how I missed this gem until now! Our server Megan was amazing! I ordered their Kiss My Shrimp and Grits (sorry I got a whiff of it and dove straight into eating and forgot to get a photo), coffee and the crème brûlée donut. Everything was delicious and the vibe was just right for a Monday morning impromptu breakfast. **To the owner: I'd love to come and refresh your photos to really showcase the quality I experienced. Please see my other restaurant reviews and photography being showcased on their pages and contact me if you are interested! read more

Just go, that is all you need to know! My husband is working in this area (from Ohio) and we stopped by on a Sunday morning for brunch. We will for sure be back! We love trying local farm to table restaurants and this one did not disappoint- it lands in our top 3 of all time across the entire Eastern seaboard and Midwest. There was a wait, as is typical with Sunday at brunch- but only about 15 minutes, which was also what was quoted to us. Service was friendly and quick. Atmosphere was upbeat, lively, beachy local vibes. The food was stellar and the prices were great considering the amount of food you get. We are def coming back to try more. The alcohol flights are very large portions- the mimosa glasses I think would have filled up 2 champagne flutes. I would suggest sharing, neither of us finished our flights. The avocado toast was SO good. Incredibly fresh and real taste. The waffle also was the perfect max of crispy outside and a moist chewy inside with a lovely taste. My husband raved about the grits and he is very picky about grits. Huge portions, local ingredients, made from scratch foods, low prices, friendly service. Can't ask for more! My only thought is they perhaps should look at expanding to a bigger site. This was the off season so I can't imagine in season how busy it gets. read more

I was in town for a couple days and came across Savor Southern Kitchen. It is a cute breakfast/lunch spot in Wilmington with a casual vibe and comfortable atmosphere. Their menu has a good amount of choices and we loved our stop here. This review will be for a lunch stop, then back a couple days later for breakfast! First, lunch! We got sweet tea to start and then ordered the special pulled pork sandwich and the Southern Charm chicken sandwich. We also ordered a side of roasted Brussels sprouts. Prices are reasonable and portions are big! Everything was delicious and the service was great. Domino was our server. She was lovely. Very kind and attentive staff here. Got our weekend off to a good start! Ok, we went back a couple days later for breakfast and we were certainly wowed today. It was early, right after they had opened so it wasn't too busy yet. We saw Domino again. We ordered hot tea, the 2 egg breakfast, and a Good Ol Boy. The food was plentiful and hot. There is a lot of food when you order the Good Ol Boy so, I am just putting that out there. We had a great stop at Savor this morning so we were happy we came back. Give this place a try if you are In Wilmington or you are a local and you haven't been here. Great staff, great food, big portions, and reasonable prices will definitely bring us back. read more

I'm giving a solid five star rating on a first time visit which is unusual and well warranted for this extraordinary restaurant. They excel in all categories which is often hard for restaurants to achieve. Excellent service and dedication from the servers, smiles all around, top notch efficiency managing a large customer base in a small space while serving phenomenal food. As they say it all starts at the top and Jason the GM is dedicated to excellence and it shows with each employee. It's worth the wait as they are very busy. The sweet potato biscuits appetizer is a must, just forget the diet and enjoy. You won't be sorry! Our party had mimosas which were tasty and they have a large variety of choices. The chicken and waffles were the best I've had. The flavor profile of the perfectly cooked chicken breast along with candied bacon and bourbon syrup was delightful. The grits are very good along with the home fried potatoes . The captains omelet was not only huge filled with many ingredients , the eggs were delicious. The fact that they use locally sourced ingredients shines in all their dishes. It is refreshing to have a perfect meal to start your day. read more

For the last ~ 5 years, Savor has been my absolute favorite breakfast and brunch restaurant in Wilmington. It has the BEST food, cocktails, and service, and it's unique, so my husband and I will drive across town to treat ourselves at Savor. We love the chicken and waffles, the "Lil Bit of Chicken Fried," the "Hissy Fit," the cheese grits, the amazing food specials, the boozy coffee flights, the Deluxe Bloody Mary, the mimosas, and more. Today, I ordered a boozy coffee flight with flavors of Dubai Chocolate, Butterscotch, and Chocolate Strawberry, and it was awesome! We have introduced most of our friends and family members to Savor, so we would recommend it to anyone in the area who likes delicious food and drinks. You don't want to miss out. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot in town. They have HUGE biscuits that are buttery and flakey as well as some excellent fried chicken to go with it. They also have rotating specials so you never know what you might get to try. They have a ton of different mimosa options of that is your thing. The do have limited seating as well as some bar space so definitely get there early or try to make a reservation or else it gets filled up pretty quickly! read more

I loved this place. It reminded me of those old home town cafe's when I was a kid growing up in rural Georgia. The food was so good, and the portions huge! The biscuits, omg! The biggest, fluffiest, most yummiest biscuits I've had in a long time. I wish I had the recipe because I won't find anything like them out here in California. If you're ever in Wilmington, this is the place to go for breakfast, for sure! read more

Stopped by Savor for brunch and it did not disappoint! It is a quaint restaurant with seating in the inside as well as the outside. When we arrived, we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Once seated, we ordered orange juice, a caramel latte, and red velvet donut holes. The donut holes were so good, and the two sauces were super yummy, which I was doubtful when I originally read the menu. Only complaint about my caramel latte was that it was lukewarm/almost cold when it arrived to the table tho it was good. My husband ordered the good ol' boy, which came with just about everything - at least it felt like it. It comes with a ton of food! It said he loved everything on his plate. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Loved the waffle, the syrup and the chicken. The home fries - I could've done without. They were decent but unnecessary. Waiter was really sweet and helpful. Food came out quick and hot once ordered. Would recommend and I know we'll for sure come back again hopefully very soon. read more

Amazing brunch choices. It's hard to choose. Busy but we were seated soon after arriving. Highly recommend.

Had a great time at Savor Southern Kitchen. It's a cute place, we were seated pretty quickly but opted to sit at the bar. We were able to see all of the food coming out that looked fantastic. The one server was great as well, she kept chatting with us as she was making mimosa flights. I'm sad we didn't indulge in one of those. The food was great. I'd go back for sure. read more
