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.

Amazing place for brunch. The food was super tasty and fresh. Excellent service. Will definitely come back.
Great brunch spot. The food was fresh and tasty, and the coffee delicious. The service was great as well. It is a bit pricey, but I'll be back again for brunch.
We heard about the basic a lot so we went there . The service was kind but many things were forgotten. The food wasn't very hot , la sauce hollandaise with the Benny wasn't tasty and the price of the individual item to high 7$ the bacon) but overall it was

Great value and very filling. I have the classic breakfast after a night out with the guys so this breakfast was exactly what I needed. A delicious breakfast and very filling.
Nestled in a cozy corner, this restaurant offers a blend of hearty breakfasts and attentive service, making it a favored spot for brunch enthusiasts. While some diners find the prices on the higher side, many appreciate the generous portions and fresh ingredients. Highlights include delightful blueberry pancakes and a mouthwatering loaded hash, but occasional lapses in seasoning and temperature may leave some patrons wanting more. Consistent service quality, coupled with a friendly atmosphere, enhances the dining experience. Despite minor hiccups, the commitment to excellent service and flavorful dishes keeps guests returning for more of its authentic charm.

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.
I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I paid extra for a fruit add-on, only to receive a small, sad-looking fruit salad. The tea I ordered was also disappointing, as it was served with everything on the side in tepid water instead of being properly brewed with hot water and honey. I feel like I overpaid for a subpar meal that I could have easily made at home.
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.
Delicious!! Always. Thanks you!
