I felt as though I was eating brunch at my Abuelita’s home. Thank you Samantha and family for the warm welcome- the red chilaquiles and cafe de olla we’re phenomenal and I will be sure to be back with my babies and husband! I mentioned to Samantha I was treating myself for my birthday and she brought out a cinnamon role with a candle meant the world to me!“

“I just love this little restaurant!! I have breakfast there at least once every time I visit family in Avondale. It’s cute, it’s clean and the staff are so friendly and inviting. The food never disappoints. Several options of eggs Benedict, French toasts, the whole lot. The omelets are huge. The staples are all just as tasty too. And the food cooks up fast. Today I had the house salmon eggs Benedict and it’s just a tasty as the first time I had it.Marlene was my waitress and she was just so kind and never let me water get below half full. Just love this place. I’ll be back soon!“

Kid-friendliness: A lot of families came in and there is even a huge bowl full of lollipops for the children. Very kid friendly environment.“

Thank you Dem and staff for a GREAT service. Take care“

Every visit feels special. I especially love their coffee and seasonal dishes — you can tell everything is made with care.“

“This is a rarity today for restaurants of any type, a par-excellence value! This is a diner/breakfast/lunch restaurant, a few booths and counter seats. Most of the activity by the staff is out front, no secrets. Many customers have dined there frequently, they are regulars and recognized, the waitress can practically write the order without asking, they know the person that well. Occasionally it is a first timer and because of the ambience they feel free to voice their opinion as to how good it is, as we did the first time we ate here in late winter 2025.

We had driven by Sandy’s many times and I often remarked, we should try them out, and we would have sooner, but the parking is the limiting factor, basically curbside parallel parking, only 4 or 5 spots are in front of the restaurant, others down the block and across the street. There may be some in the alley behind but I’m not aware of any. I’m unable to walk any significant distance, so if the parking isn’t right near the door, I’d pass Sandys by, but that is my issue, if you are healthy, the distance isn’t an issue

The food is great, the owner/chef/cook knows what is expected of a dinner establishment. The eggs are prepared as asked, if the request is “over-medium” the egg whites are cooked through, yolks runny, and edges crisp ... Anyone who has trained as breakfast fry cook will know how to make eggs to request, and yes that is a SKILL. The biscuits and gravy are the best I have had in the NW suburbs, there is breakfast sausage crumbles in a cream gravy, and the gravy actually is seasoned and not just white flour paste.

No matter how rushed and busy a restaurant is, they should never lose sight of the fact that each meal served is important, there are not many 2nd chances in the restaurant business. I’m guessing that one of the wait staff is probably the owner, this is the difference, she is watching that the customer’s expectations are met, she deserves an A.“

“I was a steady customer but will not be returning to this establishment again. Today I asked to sit in a booth and James, the owner said "We're too busy to sit one person in a "big" booth. (I was the only one waiting for a table.) So the waitress wanted me to sit at a table. The "big" booth seats 4. The table they wanted me to sit at also seats 4. The only difference is the booth doesn't hurt my back like the hard chairs do. I'm dying of cancer, which James is aware of, I have enough pain I don't need any more by sitting on hard chairs. Well he won't have to worry about being so "busy" to let someone have some comfort he's got one less patron. I'm done with this place.“

“Sumptuous egg omellete , I will highly recommend. Thanks for the good breakfast“

“Absolutely love it. we enjoy the food.. and the stuff is great 🤩“

“The potatoes were soooooo good. The best I’ve had in a very long time. The chicken sand which was very flavorful“

“great service!!! the hostess was very polite and professional 👍“

“I had passed by here and wondered about it on my way to the gym a lot. Finally my husband and I went. Now we won’t stop going. The food is really good. The coffee drinks are great. The service is great. It’s a very unassuming and solid breakfast spot that doesn’t break the bank. We love it.“

“By far one of the best breakfast joint in the area 😋 🙏 💪“

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!“

“This place is so cute! It is a diner's diner with all the nostalgia of Waffle House and NONE of the regrets! The fries were REALLY GOOD! Thin and firm with just the right amount of little crunchy ones. No stink eye at bringing in a kid (there are even high chairs and lollipops at the till). This is my new favorite“

“The food was delicious! Nice portions. I had the Cajun Hash special. Wow! The service was excellent and everyone there was cheerful and attentive to you. Loved it!“

“Savanna Restaurant is a fantastic new brunch spot in the neighborhood, with friendly employees, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere.“

“Good food and bevs; love sitting in the dining room when the sliding windows are opened to the outside. Pleasant staff always improves the experience. check it out!“

“Excellent food and service with never having your water empty to offering more napkins and large portions. Thanks again and we will be back and going to try a lunch option next visit.“

“My first time here at this place. Service was great. I took off one star on the food because I ordered a Lumber Jack special which has a steak on it steak was really simple if they add some seasoning it would be much better. But I understood that it's how they serve it, whatever I do or say nothing is gonna change. I'll definitely come back to this beautiful place for breakfast“

“I can’t comment on what I don’t know but I do know that the food is delicious and the service is wonderful! The restaurant is very cozy and clean. I recommend either location! I have never been disappointed.“

“We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Lake Forest location when we were in town for our daughter's U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command graduation. By far the best place we ate when we were in the Chicagoland area. I gave it a nod in my book and encourage anyone visiting Great Lakes to stop there with their sailor during liberty.“

“I can’t comment on what I don’t know but I do know that the food is delicious and the service is wonderful! The restaurant is very cozy and clean. I recommend either location! I have never been disappointed.“

“Sat on the patio with our 2 large puppies. Staff was amazing, kind, and generous. Brought out a kraft of water for the dogs without being asked. Food was really good with good size portions. Lots to choose from on the menu, something for everyone. Will definately go back when in Evanston.“

“Very good Food but very expensive for the food they make need to lower the price and make it affordable“

“I had the best omelette there today. Fabulous!!!!“

“WOW!!!
This was hands down one of the greatest breakfast experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurants.
If you’re fortunate enough to have Linda as your server, be prepared to tip at least 40% because SHE. IS. AWESOME!!!

Not only was the food absolutely incredible, it came out within 5 minutes of ordering.

Do yourself a favor and please dine here. Support this wonderful local restaurant.“

“Chicken soup, steak tacos, and Orchata were life changing ? My first time having Mexican chicken soup. Rustic, and fulfilling. I visited Chicago for a weekend and went there both nights! There are othe must try places on Google but this should be one as well. Loved it!“

“Delicious breakfast food. I had a ham and cheese omelet, my husband had biscuits and gravy, and our friend had the scrambled eggs chorizo. We all enjoyed our food immensely. The hashbrowns are delicious and the eggs were soft and fluffy. Yum!“

“Best scones! Excited to visit in February!“

“Pet friendly 🐶👍 fast service“
