The food and service was absolutely amazing! Aja the hookah girl gave me a nice mix with Kiwi and Love 66 that knocked me off my feet . The crawfish and customer service was beyond what I expected. The owner Mrs. Long personally came out to greet along with our waitress Alexis . I will be back when I come from Atlanta . I'm in LOVE with Savoy !!!!!! Let's go Houston

I enjoyed my visit here the music, food, decor, DJ those were all a 10/10. We didn't have a server per say, we ended up calling someone over to us after 20 minutes to ask if we could order from her and she took care of us.

I am originally from Third Ward, and even though I no longer live there, I still support numerous businesses in the Tre. One day, the folks at KTSU were discussing The Savoy on the radio, and I took their word that the food here is good. The loaded fries with fried chicken are apparently a hit, so that's exactly what I ordered. A family member ordered a burger. I asked what the rating is for the burger and was given a score of 8.5. To me, that is rather generous given the fact that the burger wasn't even dressed correctly. Just lettuce and cheese - no onion, sliced tomato or pickle for about $17. The loaded fries were good; however, at almost $21, this dish seemed overpriced to me. There's a discrepancy between the price cited on the online menu and the price on the receipt. Also, a $6 upcharge for the chicken but the base cost was over $14. I'm really paying that amount just for fries and cheese? How is that loaded?? With that said, I will always support Black-owned businesses, especially ones located in Third Ward. What saves this place is the fact the food is actually really good for what it is. The name is perhaps too fancy for the establishment because when I hear The Savoy, I think of the original Savoy in Harlem and "Stompin' At the Savoy." (LOL!!) But I also can have a sense of humor about it. I heard about the strawberry cake, and was advised this is only served on Wednesdays, during Ladies' Night. I will keep this in mind and check this place out again another time.

Came for brunch with friends and sat outside. Service was spotty at first but picked up. We got the mimosa tower and all ordered food we enjoyed. Vibe was ok, not like a turn up brunch frfr but some people had sections. We parked on the steeet since it was Sunday and free.

I really enjoyed my time at The Savoy! The restaurant has plenty of seating with a good size outdoor (covered) patio and some tables inside as well. Our waitress was pretty friendly. We ordered a strawberry lemonade mimosa tower which was ~$50. We split between 4 people so it was enough for us to have about 2 or 3 drinks each. I realllyyy enjoyed my meal! I ordered the shrimp and grits which came with a side of toast and a side of chicken wings. The chicken wings were a little over cooked/too crispy for me. But the shrimp and grits were everything! So much flavor (savory and cajun) and food portion was perfect! Even had some to take home.

WOWWWW is all I have to say! You know you can see pictures and think that the food will taste good, but this food is really GOOD! This was me and my girls first time at Savoy and it's a must Houston brunch spot for me now! We made reservations for Sunday Funday at 12:30 and the hostess brought us right to our table. We sat on the patio which had a lot of seating and tvs for entertainment and watching Sunday football. The servers and hosts are on top of their jobs there. When I asked the host about switching the stools out because they were a bit on the smaller side, she helped us get more comfortable sitting. When another waiter realized we hadn't been served yet, she immediately got someone to our table! We ordered the Catfish and grits, Shrimp and Grits, and the Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle with an extra waffle! We also ordered Mimosas, which you have with every type of juice! Our waiter listed some many options, we tried the Strawberry Lemonade! Ya'll everything was bussing, but I have to highlight the Shrimp and Grits because that was my entree! The vegetable topping and the creamy grits were a great combo with the large seasoned shrimp! I really enjoyed everything. The catfish was crispy and seasoned. The red velvet was good as well and not too sweet. The mimosas were also good and mixed with just enough juice. My only suggestion would be using Open Table or Seven Rooms for reservations instead of having to fill out the form and confirming via phone.

For starters, The Savoy is located in the heart of the Historic Third Ward! Got word that on the weekend this is the place to be so we decided to stop by to catch a vibe before heading to the Dolphins and Texans pre-season matchup. There wasn't much of a crowd upon our arrival. Being from Miami, I guess we should have inquired about a time that the party starts up because we had apparently stopped in too early, but the DJ was jamming, playing hit after hit! After finding street parking and being greeted by the hostess, we were told that there were a number of tables reserved that we couldn't occupy and was provided with the outdoor availability. What's cool about this place is that they are cognizant of there whether conditions and have fans throughout the establishment. They get an astounding A+++ for this! For brunch entrees we had the shrimp and grits which is served on a bed of creamy grits and toast. Really good! Additionally, we had the catfish, side of grits and eggs fried over hard. Amazing! No salt and pepper needed for anything and no hot sauce needed for the fish! Due to the heat we decided on a frozen cocktail tower which is called the patron tower with a mix of the sneaky link which is house made peach lemonade with Hennessy and their house made raw honey lemonade mixed in with patron!
