It was so wonderful, the food, the server, atmosphere and the creative creation when I asked for one of their signature cocktails to be hot vs iced. Happy new year and here’s to wonderful food and company!“

“First and foremost: this is a kosher dairy restaurant inside a bingo and poker hall. Kosher restaurants don't serve meat and dairy together so you won't find any "grill" food here. However, as a kosher traveler I was really happy to find this place (the only kosher restaurant in the area). The service was really good, the server was super nice and attentive. I had a Caesar salad with grilled salmon and it was very good. This place was just what I needed after living off of snacks for the better part of a week without access to a kosher restaurant. I would definitely come back if I were in the area again...thank you for being here!“

“Dinner with a friend at The Savory Grain. Early reservations for two and were seated immediately. It had been a long time since I had been out so we really wanted to talk over drinks before ordering so I checked with our waitress that this was ok. We did not want to tie up her table if a turnover was needed. She encouraged us to relax and go at our own pace and asked us to let her know when we were ready to order since she did not want to keep interrupting us. A couple of happy hour beers in we ordered the fried green tomatoes appetizer, shrimp and grits entree, and the meatloaf entree. The beer was nice and cold, the food was absolutely amazing. The appetizer arrived long enough before the entree for us to enjoy it. The entrees were generous enough that we both brought home leftovers and mine became my husband’s dinner. I could not have asked for a nicer evening out.“

“Food was great and the service was even better. Our server Badhan was very friendly and helpful. We never had to ask for refills on drinks or with chips /salsa, or help with menu questions as he frequently dropped by the table to make sure we were doing well. He went above and beyond to help my wife find a side salad option and a single taco and he made it feel like it was his pleasure, like it wasn’t difficult or a bother, he was honestly one of the best service industry professionals we have worked with in years. The food came out promptly and was as described and delicious. The host staff was also great asking if we wanted a “sling” for our son in his car seat and putting us in an l ideal booth scenario without us asking for any special assistance. Overall great experience!“
