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.
I requested breakfast potatoes instead of fruit and they happily accommodated my request! The food is delicious and the service is top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
I have been ordering from this restaurant frequently and each time I order pancakes, I specifically request blueberry and banana pancakes. Unfortunately, they have never fulfilled this request, despite the fact that it is the same price. I have received no explanation for this. It seems like a simple request - just add some blueberries and bananas, or even make two blueberry and one banana pancake. The lack of flexibility is frustrating, especially since there is never any communication as to why my request cannot be accommodated. Perhaps adding blueberry banana pancakes to the menu would be a good solution. To make matters worse, the pancakes I received were burnt.
Consistently good and satisfyingly hearty breakfasts. Fantastic chunky potato hash browns. The only gripe I have is that I wish ketchup was a checkbox option because I never remember to ask for it in the directions.
