Café at City Market

If you’re in Savannah’s City Market and want a spot that actually delivers on good food, The Café at City Market is an easy win. The shrimp dip surprised me right away—rich, flavorful, and honestly one of the better versions I’ve had. The shrimp sandwich was fresh and satisfying, packed without being messy. Their burger is exactly what you hope a solid café burger will be: juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked right. And the chicken Caesar wrap was crisp, balanced, and genuinely tasty—not the afterthought you get at some places. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. Simple, good, and absolutely worth a stop. Five stars! Visiting from South Haven. Michigan The Robbins

We stopped in for a late lunch. It wasn’t very crowded, but the service was slow. The food was okay, but we just had sandwiches. I will say the spinach and artichoke dip appetizer was pretty awful — really drippy, served with what appeared to be (and tasted like) old Tostitos. Also, I was seated facing the wall between the dining room and the kitchen, which is a bunch of 1” wide slats of wood spaced about an inch apart with black in between. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it was like a freaking Magic Eye poster or something and almost had me vertigo. So if you go, face the street.

Everything was fine. The food was fine. The service was fine. Décor was fine. Temperature was fine (would have loved more AC). I got a salad and it was absolutely massive. My partner got a wrap, and it was normal sized. Service was a little slow. Our server was working both indoor and outdoor tables, so her attention was a little divided. My salad had fresh strawberries on it, and I would have preferred if they cut off the green tops.

Staff members were all friendly and attentive. Short wait to be seated. Cafe had indoor and outdoor seating options. Food came to the table within 15 minutes of ordering. I ordered the gluten free margherita pizza and it was delicious! My friend had the Catch of the Day sandwich (flounder) and also stated it was a delicious meal choice.

We had a lovely server, full of personality, but the restaurant seems clearly understaffed, since our service was needlessly slow. My salad was very tasty, and the salmon was well cooked. My wife’s sandwich was a bit dry, and the beans tasted like they came out of a can. Overall, we had a positive experience, but room for improvement.
