Was Anonym at The Basic a mag?
Great food and great service! I went there with a friend. There was a bit of a wait, but that's only because we wanted to eat outside. They were very attentive and came over to fill up our drinks before we had to ask. The food was really good, and you get lots for the price. I will definitely go again! View all feedback.

What Florence Hughes dislikes about The Basic:
It was a nice, comfortable place to meet and chat. However, the food was expensive for what you get. Hubby had theBasic Breakfast which was okay. I ordered the Denver omelette and it was not even hot when it got to me. It was so thin and flat. I had a Denver omelette at Denny's s week before that was fluffy and so tasty. I said as much to the server when she asked how my meal was and she said that's how it's supposed... View all feedback.
