We had eaten at Baxters before and really enjoyed the atmosphere and wonderful pasta dishes. But…read moretoday we wanted a good steakhouse steak dinner. We started off with shrimp cocktail. It was fine, though the cocktail sauce could have used a little more horseradish. The basket of warm bread and whipped butter was great. And The salads were excellent (we went for a standard greens salad and a Caesar salad). For the main dish, we each ordered a bacon wrapped filet, medium rare, with Brussels sprouts. The filets were prepared as directed, but seemed dry, tough and flavorless. Disappointed. But worse was the Brussels sprouts (one of our favorites). The sprouts were hard, woefully undercooked and crunchy. Not in a good way. The flavor was lost in the rough texture. Very disappointed. The staff seemed a little flustered too. Brought a side a sautéed onions when we'd ordered mushrooms. Too bad, as we had enjoyed our pasta meals before and had expected a steakhouse to perform better.

The hit were the mushrooms and pretzel! It was filling and all very fresh. The mushrooms were gooey with cheese and a sauce. The pretzel was warm and brown with a yummy cheese sauce.

As Texans traveling through Illinois, we were pleasantly surprised because Savanna reminded us of the very best of Southern hospitality.

On opening night alone, the drive-thru line was literally two blocks long. I had friends who waited about 45 minutes in that line, and they said the chicken was still hot and fresh when they finally got it, they were very satisfied and honestly, that's impressive. When we ate here for the very first time there was so much activity behind the counter, I'm talking at least 20 employees! Happy employees who enjoyed doing their job, it was refreshing, and they all had great customer service! Despite the fact there were so many people and how crowded it was they were able to make it run smoothly and everyone was still so kind! The food is pretty good overall, and I know a lot of people are huge fans of Cane's sauce. I truly believe some folks go there just for that sauce alone! The coleslaw is sweet and crisp and the garlic toast is always hot and buttery. Would be nice to see them have some sort of a dessert on the menu board down the road! The drive-thru setup is also really unique. Instead of just a window, they actually have a door where employees can walk out to deliver food. I've never seen anything like that before, but it seems more convenient and probably makes things run more smoothly during the rush. I love how they decorate their restaurants with the disco balls and the Cane's mural with the bricks somewhere located in the restaurant. I find that there's usually at least one unique table too. I like how they're all unique in their own ways but similar at the same time! Prices are decent, the chicken is fresh, and the hype is real. If you're thinking eating out for dinner, go get you some Cane's!
