I randomly popped into The Savoy during happy hour on a Friday. Unfortunately, I wasn't hungry at the time, so I didn't try any of the food, but the plates that passed by smelled great! My favorite thing I tried was the Emancipation frozen drink (tequila/ lemonade). It feels like a proper sports bar because of the amount of TVs they had, so I was able to catch one of the FIFA World Cup matches. They also have hooka available on the outdoor patio if that's your thing. There was also a dj present to get the vibes right! read more

If you're looking for a spot in Houston that has it all, this is it. The vibe is unmatched from the moment you walk in. The customer service is top tier, with staff that actually make you feel welcome and taken care of all night. The food is absolutely on point. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite. And the drinks did not disappoint, perfectly mixed and strong enough to keep the night going. Once the DJ gets going, the whole place comes alive. Great music, great energy, and the kind of crowd that is just there to have a good time. Whether you are out with friends or celebrating something special, this is definitely the spot. Houston nightlife done right. read more

The Savoy - Signage - Hookah Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

This review cannot be 5-stars for the simple fact that they charge you 20% no matter party size, which I don't agree with. For parties over a certain size okay, but if I'm just coming solo for a quick dinner or drink before heading home (& you serve me plastic), I just don't think that's right. Moving on, the ambiance of this place is party party party. If you're familiar with the DMV's U-Street, this is what this strip of bars reminded me of; a line of fun... but no real food. Finger food spot, if you will. The Savoy is a bar that you come to to drink or pre-game; not for food. Not one person ordered food while our party of 3 were seated but it was plenty of hookah and drinks moving around the restaurant. BUT I will say, their oxtail empanadas were good. Worth buying a second to have for personal eating, no sharing. :) I would return if I wanted to have some drinks before heading out to the next bar. Or I've seen a lot of reviews in regard to their brunch and think that'd be worth another shot! read more

The Savoy - Hookah Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I recently visited The Savoy with my cousins for the first time and I will be back for sure!! We got there early afternoon and we were able to be seated right away. The DJ was amazing with their set and the vibe was everything. I had the catfish and grits entree and it was beyond delicious. Our server was very attentive and answered every question we had. I did not have to wait to be served. She was there to check in on and take care of us the entire time. The only suggestion I would have is that they serve the dinner menu a little earlier in the day. We got there around 3:30 - 4:00. My cousin wanted the loaded fries, but they only serve them after 5 PM on Sundays. Outside of that, great place to kick it, have some drinks, hookah, and great music!! Kudos!! read more

came here to watch the Texans play and eat some good food. Both were a win!! Go Texans. We dined outside on their patio and our waitress gave us great service. The place is decorated with lively pictures and very colorful. They even have a bull outside. Everyone enjoyed their food. My only complaint was the champagne for the mimosa. Although it was a good price it was too sweet for my taste buds read more

Ended up here with hubby because I wasn't ready to go home and had a great time. We had a table on the patio, right by the mechanical bull. Crowd seems to be mixed late 20s-40s. Our waitresses were nice and welcoming. Food was good and the drinks were strong. Stop by if you're in the area:) read more

I go to the Savoy every now & then for a quick drink or to have something on the happy hour menu. I love the layout & there's plenty of outdoor seating with TVs & fans. The service is better when you're sitting at the bar than sitting anywhere else, and it can be difficult to flag someone down to help you. I've once sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged. They're always playing good music, but sometimes it's too loud to the point where you can't hear the person you're conversing with. The parking is a nightmare in that area, sometimes I have to park a few blocks down, and there are also times when they charge for parking. It can get pretty busy in there but overall I do like coming here. read more

The Savoy - Sneaky Link - Hookah Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

The Savoy was a stop on the Thrill Wheels as well as Kulture Rides. Plenty of outside seating and the mechanical bull located in the back to take spin on. Indoor seating high top tables and lounge areas. The bar was larger enough to accommodate a drink order without being lost in the crowd . The decor and vibe gave let's chill or partake in watching the game on a huge screen in the back . Drinks were priced reasonable this was shots of D'usse . Restroom was clean but no paper towels oh well you win some you lose some . The crowd was a mixture of ages overall its a good spot to meet up and have drinks or a meal . read more

This place was amazing! We went to a day party and definitely drank all day. Great drink prices and selections. They have a amazing patio outdoor space. I still haven't seen the whole building lol. I love the art on the wall and the servers are amazing; sometimes it's hard to get a hold of one because the place gets so packed but when you do have service, it is good. The bill was on par for the area And I will definitely come here for drinks again! read more

This is a great place to visit for a brunch and party vibe. The food was really tasty and well prepared. The fried chicken was my favorite dish. The only con was that it took a bit for us to get a server. Once we got some attention, it was smooth sailing from there. I definitely would check this place out again. read more

Ambiance was right on time here at the Savoy! My friends and I had great time. We lucked up finding this spot, after arriving at supposedly Cigar bar down the street. We blocked out and paid for a section to celebrate my birthday. It turn out to be a bogus spot. However as mentioned before The Savoy swept us off our feet. The food, the drinks and services was perfect. read more

My first time coming the food was phenomenal. I can't say that for the second time. My wings were soggy and dark as if the wings were refried in some used grease. As for the waffle, it was soggy too. I have no desire to return. read more

Lots of space for improvement I visited on Veterans Day after finding out about the Savoy on Click2Houston. Com. They opened for lunch at 11am. I arrived shortly after 11am and all the chairs on the patio were still stacked on the tables. I walked in to inquire and there were two people sitting at the bar eating and one stood up, and advised I could sit anywhere, so I opted for the outside area. Positives: 1. The waitress was nice and knew the menu well. 2. She was also the bartender and made great drinks. 3. The music was great, created a fun environment to accompany the long wait. 4. There were lots of screens on the patio, I can see how this could be good for game day. 5. There was plenty of seating both inside and on the patio. Space for improvement : 1.The floor was completely wet at opening throughout the entire restaurant. 2. There was no toilet paper in the women's restroom and the trash cans were not lined with a bag. 3. There was a dirty mop outside the kitchen next to a large bucket of filthy mop water. 4. There was one waitress for over 10 parties sitting on the patio. They are grossly understaff. 5. The food took 45 minutes and arrived cold. Cold food isn't very appetizing but it tasted okay in that state. Wish I could have had it hot and fresh. 6. It took 20 minutes to get the check and pay. Overall, there is potential for improvement. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant or return. read more

Our server neglected our table and ensured other tables food came out although ours was ordered quite some time before the other 13 guest. It was pretty disheartening as we came from out of town just to experience bad service. read more

Trinitea is an INCREDIBLE person. She knows how to cater to customers!!! Not only is she so old but she anticipates the needs of the customer.

Drove down Emancipation street looking for the place that looked the most fun, this place was LIT. We had to park a block away (parking is crazy, read the signs, be careful). Line to get in but it moves fast. ID checks, men got searched. We went around 8pm it was already alive and booming. We went STRAIGHT to the bar and got these pink slush drinks (alcoholic) I can't remember the name, but they were in small cups and delicious. They were also overpriced though, 4 was $79. Tables were for reservations, standing room only really, people everywhere. The DJ was good! And they had a mechanic bull; I rode the mechanical bull twice. We stayed about 2hrs and dipped. Definitely a good vibe. read more

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. read more

I don't know what to say but I ordered grits and catfish and the grits came out pure white with no seasoning. Than the catfish had no seasoning . My waitress was very nice and recommended a supervisor to remove from bill. I let her know a supervisor wasn't needed just season the grits Ana fish. Well, unfortunately it came back the same. Not sure if other food is good but this food choice was nasty read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had the worst experience ever at Savoy. My group and I came in for drinks and small bites, and we were told we could sit anywhere without a reservation sign. However, every table we chose--without a reservation sign was suddenly marked as "reserved" right after we sat down. We were moved twice before we decided to make an online reservation ourselves. After waiting for our reservation time, we ordered and paid for a hookah, only to have the host and servers refuse to bring it to us. We also tried to order drinks multiple times, but no one wanted to serve us. Eventually, we were asked to move again. A short, thin man who claimed to be the manager told us we were being pushed to the back of the service line and that our server didn't want to serve us because we already had drinks from the bar despite us being ready to order more. He said he couldn't accommodate us, so we left and took our business elsewhere. The service was absolutely terrible, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

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! read more

This was our second attempt to eat at The Savoy. The first time we walked out due to poor service and waiting over 40 minutes for food. We decided to give them another try considering it was a Thursday and less likely to be busy. Guess busy has nothing to do with the poor service. We ordered salmon, fries and spinach - none of these items take long to cook. Even though there were orders ahead of ours; waiting an hour for food is ridiculous. Several times we stopped waitress's to check, which they agreed but never came back with the status. Finally we asked for a manager. The manager went to the kitchen and return with our food. The positive is that it was hot. That's where the positive end. The food arrived in to go containers with plastic silverware. Who does this??? This is not a fast food restaurant. Just a cheap way of serving food. Now the food; the salmon did NOT have an ounce of seasoning...no butter...no lemon. When we opened the plastic container with the spinach , you could tell again - no seasoning, no onion/bell pepper and it also looked undercooked . My friend tasted it and confirmed my suspicions. At least the fries were hot. The manager apologized and comp the entire check when they noticed we weren't eating. She mentioned it was due to a large party but we knew better. They are about show and drinks , not service or quality. We left angry and hungry!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

First Sunday Funday after dry January & the girlies were ready to act up! Reservations are required. We were able to make them over the phone the night before, but it's better If you request via their website. I would recommend they use a reservation server to help with the process. Also, thank you to one of the managers that was able to get us seated after arriving late. We had been trying to contact the business via phone but no answer. Thanks again! Food- brunch was amazing. I personally had the shrimp and grits along with pancakes. Babyyyy the pancakes were so fluffy & delicious- the best thing about my visit there. Drinks- we had the mimosa tower with 2 bottles- worth it. Cocktails wise we tried Sneaky Link... definitely snuck up on me Definitely a good vibe with a DJ & hookah. We had a good time & will be back. read more

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. read more
