Savoy 1902

We stopped in here before going to the festival of lights. My husband got the pastrami sandwich with waffle fries and I go the pulled pork which comes with chips. I added an extra side of fried okra and he also tried the fried pickles. Fried pickles come out very hot so proceed with caution! Everything was great. Only complaint is the sweet tea isn't very sweet. I ended up getting a starry because it tasted more like unsweet... bathroom was unique to flush..took me a second to find the pull string! Very unique. I included a picture because I thought it was neat! Enjoy!

The food is good standard bbq fare brisket, ribs, sausage, chicken, and a few sides. The prices are fair and you'll get full, the staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant is set in a charming building and is across the street from the famous leg lamp.

The special in NOT a special! We both got the bake potato special for Thursday. No price on the special just that it's the special for today, it was 17 dollars each. It had cheese, butter, sour cream with chop brisket, meat quality was low. Than got a apple crumble with a cup size ice cream... Told the waitress it wasn't baked all the way, she said it's from Walmart and that's how it comes. Paid 10 dollars for that slice of Walmart nonsense. The waitress told our order, brought drinks and never came by to ask if everything is ok or is the food ok. I had to wave her down to get the check. Paid 53 dollars for two baked potatoes, a Walmart apple crumble and one unsweet tea. Never again, folks need to be warned.

The overall order since they was out of the Brisket and Tri-Tips left little available. Felt like arriving last for the family cook out. I settled for the Smoked burger. It was decent. I also got the Handcut Fries & Smoked BBQ Beans. The fries were chips wanting to be fries and the Smoked BBQ Beans was the best thing I ordered. I wish they would have had more options available.

The building is gorgeous and very nicely restored. The service was lacking and the service was worse. We were a party of two, came in and waited a while and nobody acknowledged us. We had to waive down a waitress after a table that arrived after us was already getting their drinks. When the food arrived it was cold/cool. The taste was good but temperature was not. The brisket was well cooked but child, the creamed corn was closer to street corn, not creamed. The pickles were good. The restaurant was only half full and the price was high enough that service and temperature should be a bigger focus.
