Reviews For Cafe at City Market

We had a great experience at this busy cafe in City Market. We were seated promptly at an outdoor table and loved all of the people (and dog) watching. We had just left the Prohibition Museum so of course I was ready for a drink and the Peach Sangria hit the spot!. I consider myself a grilled cheese connoisseur, so I tried the steak grilled cheese which had the perfect balance of cheese and rib eye strips. My husband went the healthy route with a salmon salad and said it was "pretty darn good." I do have to brag on the service. I wanted a table outside and the only one available was just being vacated. The hostess jumped in and cleaned it up right away. The server was also cheerful and helpful. We were glad we stopped by!

Tae you again are stellar with your service. Today we brought 3 additional guest. Shrimp and grits are amazingly flavorful. Pasta Alfredo stroganoff didn't miss. Peach sangria awesome as well as the rum punch. Tae our server was polite and beautiful. I would dine here again. ...the music took us back to the 80's R&B. With Gladys Knight, Enjoy!

Great place to walk and enjoy lunch with outdoor patio seating. Servings are big! We shared along adults and had some to spare. We loved the chicken salad and salmon salad.

Staff members were all friendly and attentive. Short wait to be seated. Cafe had indoor and outdoor seating options. Food came to the table within 15 minutes of ordering. I ordered the gluten free margherita pizza and it was delicious! My friend had the Catch of the Day sandwich (flounder) and also stated it was a delicious meal choice.

I find it interesting that the "Savanah Insiders Guide" that we received at the visitors center did not list this Cafe. Well TOO BAD for the visitors guide. The service was EXCELLENT. With outside dining we were able to have our dog sit with us at the table (Very Pet Friendly) thr Pizza was just the right size for lunch as was the IPA. The grilled cheese / ribeye on Texas Toast is a real STAR. The potato salad is good enough for a true Irishman (we love potatoes and beer). The total with tip was very reasonable for a downtown lunch. So pass on the Visitor Guide commercials and go to the Market Place for a really good meal.

Service (Tristen) was good from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and the portion was perfect for lunch. We ended the meal with a peach cobbler (it’s enough to share), and it was phenomenal! We would come back again and again.

Loved our dinner here! Cool place with chill vibes and we didn’t have to wait in line on a Friday night. The chicken salad sandwich with potato salad was delicious. The staff is friendly and we had a super nice waitress. Would recommend eating here in Savannah!

Had the grilled cheese Ribeye. It was great well seasoned, and the toast was perfert. I would definitely recommend this dish. Our server was attentive, and the vibe was relaxed and not overly crowded for a Saturday afternoon.
