Called the Sandbar Cafe now. Excellent breakfast, great menu to order from. The pancakes are phynenomenal. Don't mind the outside looks. It's great food for a fare price.

Savanna Marina Cafe - Crispy fried chicken sandwich with fries, ordered no cheese

This is Uncle Sean's Marina Cafe and this is hands down the BEST food in Savanna! It's an…read moreunassuming little shack of a place right down by the boat launch, and the food Sean makes is OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD. Hand cut fries (from REAL potatoes, no frozen here!), homemade hamburger buns, homemade pizzas. Oh, and Mexican Monday? Fughedaboudit! Literally the best burritos I've ever had. His food is fresh, and it's delicious. We would eat here every single day if we could. You'll know he's open when you see the little chalkboard menu at the very end of main street (by the Sullivan's Grocery). Turn right and pull into the marina - YES that little place with the lit up OPEN sign is Uncle Sean's, and you will NOT regret stopping there.

There is handicap parking, and the building is handicap accessible. Having never been there before, we were thankful for the signage directing us to the doors. They do have a couple of picnic tables outside. If you choose to sit out there to eat in the sunshine, that is an option. The staff was very friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in the door, which is always nice when trying a new place. The restaurant is a little rustic. However, it was very clean and decorated to go with the marina setting in mind. The menu had plenty of options. However, some options on the menu are not always available. They also have several specials written on a board on the wall. I asked if they serve breakfast all day and was told they do have some who come in any time of day just for breakfast. I am however unclear as to what days and hours they are open. There were 2 of us in our party and both happened to order a chicken sandwich and fries. One was a grilled chicken sandwich and the other was the fried chicken sandwich. They were both very good with a unique and flavorful sauce on them. There was a sweet fry bread on the specials board so we ordered it to go and it was fantastic. We decided if we are ever in the area again, we would return just for that.

Every good weekend getaway needs a cute coffee shop, and 392Caffe was the perfect morning stop…read moreduring our time in Clinton! This locally founded coffee shop has been around since 2011 and offers everything from specialty coffee and seasonal lattes to fresh smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. We ordered a seasonal latte, breakfast goodies, and a customizable smoothie where you can choose your own fruits, greens, and juice base. I love having options beyond coffee! But my FAVORITE thing we tried? The chocolate chip protein ball. Seriously, I'll be thinking about that little thing for a while! The atmosphere is just as inviting as the menu. It's the kind of cozy coffee shop where you could bring your laptop and get some work done, meet up with friends, or simply enjoy a slow morning. Definitely a great stop to add to your Clinton itinerary!

This place needs a huge lesson in customer service. I'm…read morevisiting from out of town and had heard decent things about this place, so I decided to give it a try. We walked in around 11:30 a.m. There was only one other customer (a dad and his son) and the person who walked in just before us, who appeared to either be a friend or a regular, based on how all three employees greeted her. While they were extremely friendly to her, we weren't acknowledged at all--not even a simple "We'll be right with you." Instead, the employees stood there for more than five minutes talking about how business was, how they slept, what they did over the weekend, melatonin, and other personal topics. During that time, no one took our order or made any effort to help us. After waiting, I finally said, "If you guys are going to keep having a conversation, can we at least order our coffee and get that started?" They looked at me like I had said something unreasonable. One employee, who was sitting at a table near the counter coloring, muttered something under her breath, and they still didn't take our order. Instead, they continued their conversation. At that point, we left. This experience was completely unacceptable. Great customer service starts with acknowledging people when they walk through the door, especially when your shop is nearly empty. Unfortunately, this first impression ensured we won't be back, and I can't recommend this business to others.

Awesome homemade food spot! Bakery & coffee was awesome !…read more Definitely recommend trying out this place . Weekends are crazy though!

After visiting Galena many times, we finally made our way to the Galena Bakehouse and we FELL IN…read moreLOVE! We stopped by the first night to pickup some coffee, a chocolate chip cookie treat, and a box of macrons to go. The shop is absolutely adorable from entrance to exit! Even before entering we loved the adorable building with perfect blue paint with white trim on the red brick. The building is well maintained and clean. While it is small, they keep the space streamlined and open. The baked good window, the sweet treats fridge, and coffee/tea areas are all distinct with their own personalities and delicious displays. On top of the clean and inviting space, prices were reasonable for such high quality products and staff were friendly and inviting. The line can sometimes be long, but it is worth the wait. Lots to love here! Back to the food, the chocolate chip cookie didn't make it far. We ate it right outside and loved every decadent bite. The cold brew was refreshing and tasty. We ate the macrons throughout the day and loved every bite! My favorites were the lemon and pistachio. My husband's favorites were the vanilla and birthday cake. The flavors were very prominent and delicious. Yum! Our final day, we wanted to try the breakfast! While I got ready at the Airbnb, my husband went to get the 2 Empanada Meal that comes with a fruit cup. We also got cold brew coffee and a Chipa. Everything was so scrumptious and fresh! The fruit cup was a perfect healthy pair to the baked goods. The empanadas were both great. We tried the "Egg, Sausage, & Cheddar" and "Egg White, Tomato, Basil, Spinach & Parmesan" empanadas. Both were great and we couldn't pick a favorite. We were glad we got both. The chipa was also so good...unlike anything we've had before. Per their website, it is a "Savory Cheese Biscuit made with tapioca flour, Cheddar cheese, & Parmesan cheese. Gluten Free." If you have never tried a Chipa, we would recommend it! And once again, the cold brew was perfect! Galena Bakehouse has won our hearts and tummies! We look forward to stopping by the next time we are in town!
