Savory

I ordered from Savory via Seamless for my first experience with Savory. It arrived more than an hour and ten minutes late — not a good start. The presentation was nice but as expected, it was barely warm when I opened it. From the menu, the jerk chicken sounded tasty and filling: All-​natural, hormone-​free jerk chicken served with ratatouille, roasted cauliflower puttanesca, and baked sweet potato. The chicken did have decent flavor, but it was not warm and I had to pick one bone and two chunks of cartilage out of my mouth throughout the meal — not pleasant with coworkers in a professional environment. Both the sweet potato chunks and the vegetables in the ratatouille were cooked inconsistently; some were incredibly mushy, others were still crunchy. The cauliflower was the best part of the meal. All of this was on a bed of baby spinach. Again, nice presentation and it sounds like a lot of food but I was still hungry after I cleaned my plate.
This was my first experience with! Savory and not one part of it makes me want to give them another try.

Savory is my go-​to caterers for breakfast and lunch meetings when I want to impress clients. Their menu selection and presentation has always been a step above their competitors. The difference is in their attention to details. Their menu has great little unique touches like lemon curd and house made butters and cream cheese. I also love their quiches and breakfast hand pies. I also love that their delivery person, doesn’t just drop off the food, they take the time to make the perfect presentation, which they then document with a photo.
Keep up the good work Savory and I’ll continue to order from you!

Today I ordered from Savory Full for the first time. I got Soba Yum platter which included soba noodles, veggies and Korean BBQ beef. I also got peanut sauce on a side, although, the platter tasted just as good without it. It was very, very good and the delivery was prompt as well. Delicious, nutritious and guilt-​free!

This is a review for Savory Full, which seems to not be listed. I am a health nut and love the paleo/​gluten free and overall very delicious food. I had The salmon with spinach, steamed swiss chard, and roasted vegetables and it came close to my own food. Awesome replacement when I can’t bring my own lunch for any of you who meal prep.

Food is fine. I have asked 7 times to be removed from the mailing list. Even went so far as to report this company to the FCC under the CAN-​SPAM act. No action has been taken. The ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of their emails is non-​functioning. For a company that hopes to break into an already crowded space, this type of carelessness is what sinks ships. Beware before signing up for their emails… you may never get off.

DELICIOUS!
I’ve had their mozz sticks which are like no other! They will make you never go near a bar food mozz stick ever again. Fresh cheese, not greasy but a terrific breading, bright sauce. I had their pasta with fresh cheese and sausage. So yummy!
I’ve also had a salmon sandwich which was on the most amazing bread… tasted like the bread version of an onion bagel. Side salad of corn and tomato was delicious. Portions were perfect for lunch.
What makes Savory great is that it’s clear they use fresh, homemade ingredients. While the menu reads pretty standard, the quality is spectacular.

I’ve used seamless 1−2x a day every workday for the last 6 – 8 years, and Savory is hands down the worst delivery. They are 5 – 6 blocks from my office and typical delivery time is minimum an hour and a half, and not infrequently over 2 hours.
You may be thinking, well what if you (absurdly) place your order 2 hours earlier than you usually do? Doesn’t matter. I’ve tried that, it still takes 1.5−2.0 hours, and your food is ALWAYS cold. Meaning they’re either overloading the delivery guys with 40 deliveries, so only 10 people are getting warm deliveries… or the food is sitting at the restaurant for 45 minutes before it leaves. Either way Savory, you are horrible. Get a clue. Fire your managers.
For a place that is designed for the sole purpose of providing great delivery food (the food is good on the off occasion you get it warm), how do you not get the delivery part of the equation right?
I’ve learned my lesson, never again Savory.

So I can’t comment on pricing — a rep had stopped by last week and brought us a basket of sandwiches and a salad. But I can comment on the flavors and savoriness…
First up was half of The CLT. Garlic/​herb grilled chicken, romaine, a tomato and a schmear of mayo. While I didn’t appreciate the mayo I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of chicken given and the bread — delicious and super soft bread!
The 2^nd half sandwich I tried was The PB&J. The pretzel bun + peanut butter combo sold me but the sandwich ended up being weird. It was missing any peanut butter flavor and the strawberries inside were soggy. Blah.
Last up was a salad — I couldn’t find it on their online menu but it was arugula topped w/​crumbled feta, mandarin slices, corn and served with a lemon vinaigrette. The combo of orange and corn was weird. But the lemon vinaigrette was delish.
So overall these guys have some good ideas but the execution is a bit weird. Probably wouldn’t be my first choice of lunch spots, but one of those places you can find something if in a pinch.

This place has fine food and delivers promptly. However, there is an acute lack of attention to detail when it comes to getting what you order. Perhaps this it is my fault for contiuing to return, but in the economical food delivery wasteland of midtown, I don’t have too many options.
Routinely my order shows up missing one or two key ingredients. While on the whole accurate (the right basic sandwich or salad), there’s something missing. It could be the roll I asked for with my salad or, more importantly and regularly, the chicken I ask for on my salad. That sauce I didn’t want finds its way on to a sandwich.
Perhaps this is the product of shrewd calculation on Savory’s part — these little mix-​ups aren’t enough to get me to call them up to complain or refund anything, but they add up and the end result is this review.
Tl;dr — this place is fine, as long as you are ok with receiving something resembling 90% of what you ordered.

I would like to first say that it’s hilarious that Savory places an «!» in front of their name on Seamless to ensure that they pop up at the top of the dropdown when you first access the website.
The food is very mediocre, and while the restaurant can boast all they want about the quality of their ingredients, this means very little to me as the diner if it tastes bad. I ordered the «Jamaican Me Crazy» and it was the most scatter-​brained attempt at an entrée that I’ve ever seen. It had chicken, cauliflower, sweet potato, ratatouille all crammed into one plate and was underwhelming to say the least. A bunch of other guys keep ordering this dish and say they love it… but I’m about as baffled about this as when I tried watching Seinfeld for the first time. In other words, I respect that other people may like it and enjoy it… but am baffled by the why and the how.

I love this place! Ordered through Seamless twice this week. Their sandwiches are huge and super fresh. Desserts are the perfect size and I love the little candies they toss in the bags. They don’t skimp on the condiments either. Menu has a wide array of healthy options and has dissuaded me from ordering high-​caloric pizza many-​a-​time.

I order in from! Savory Full at least twice a week. I love the build your own vegetarian plate and crave their broccoli slaw, ratatouille, lentils and black eyed peas on the nights I cook.
I am always impressed by their customer service, however, last night really iced the cake! They sent me a handwritten card thanking me for being «an awesome customer» with a $ 15 dollar gift card, a bag of chips, and a couple other random gifts.
I will forever be faithful to! savory full.

Tried this place for lunch. I ordered a thai peanut chicken dish with brown rice, kale and carrots, and they included a ginger chew. It was packaged very nice. My 3 star rating is becuasue it was cold. It came within the time frame for delivery but wasn’t expecting a cold chicken dish. Actually more like luke warm.
I’ll try them again but things like that sort of piss me off.

Delicious food with great attention to detail. Everything tasted fresh. Even the packaging looked good.
They delivered, which is very helpful, but I have also been by their store front. They have a rotating menu there and are adding to it all the time. Very easy ready made meals with little to no wait time. Its perfect for my lunch break!

HORRIBLE! They get all these great reviews so I assume they pay for them! Disgusting food. Food is NOT FRESH. It is pre-​packaged and stored in a fridge then pulled out and stuffed in a bag. The HOT items are microwaved… how else do you explain cold spots in pasta? My SEARED tuna was a fully overcooked cold brick of gray matter! The arugala was wilted and frozen I got a quarter of a potato and my hard boiled egg had half of the whites peeled off with the shell. The bread on the sandwich was soggy and COLD. PURE DISGUSTING!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!

The storefront of Savory’s been open for a couple of months so I thought I’d try it out today. Better yet, they were doing a deal that you get a half-​sandwich for free with a purchase of $ 6. I got a split pea soup for my boss, who said it was just okay. I got a full roast beef sandwich for myself, and while I enjoyed it, I would not get it again. They threw in some cookies and hot chocolate on the house, which was cool of them. They have a very limited selection — 3 soups and no more than 5 types of cold sandwiches. Most of the sandwiches have pork in it, which isn’t appetizing to me so that limited my choices. So while I was initially excited about Savory, I now don’t see any reason to return, especially when the full sandwich size is super overpriced at $ 12.

They sent me raw sweet potatoes and gave me food poisoning. What an amazing dinner (sarcasm obviously)

!Savory provides food that delivers… literally and figuratively! It is NYC’s first high-​end, delivery only restaurant group with wide range of delicious and healthy selections.
In particular, I am a fan of its jumbo-​sized, filling sandwiches. I have had the Hearty and the Sammy, both of which are top on my list of delicious sandwiches in NYC. First, the Hearty features tender, house-​carved roast beef with a generous scoop of horseradish mashed potato and sauteed spinach on ciabatta. I would have never guessed roast beef paired well with mashed potato (always thought it was turkey!) until I had this sandwich. The hint of horseradish in the mashed potato is a nice touch.
The Sammy is another one of my favorites. It features perfectly seasoned and marinated skirt steak that has been char-​grilled skirt steak, with sauteed mushroom, chopped bacon, and caramelized onions on top and served on a baguette. Every bite of the sandwich packs so much flavors!

From the delicious food to the exquisite presentation, this place is great, especially for group orders. Set up as a deliveyr only concept, these guys put all the energy on nailing the food #anditworks!
I was super impressed with «The Colonel» drumsticks — moist yet crisp, juicy and filling for an appetizer. The Nicoise here was fresh and big enough to justify the premum at $ 19.
On an environmental, these guys nailed it with their custom eco-​friendly packaging! Makes you feel less bad about all the extra stuff you toss with standard Seamless orders.
In short, thee guys have fast, reliable delivery and consistently delicious food. It isn’t cheap, but really worth the couple extra bucks for the food, experience and ease of ordering.
Next time I’m in NYC, I’ll definitely be getting! Savory again. My only request: Open in DC!

I stumbled upon this place on Seamless when I was visiting town on business. I didn’t have time to go out to some fancy dinner or even go out period after a long conference day. It was pricier than others, but the menu seemed well worth it. I ordered one of the specials on the menu, The Spanish Bird. Got my food within 30 min — thankfully. I was starving.
Delivery guy was super nice and the food was amazing.
Definitely in the «would order again» category when I’m back in the city.
