Not quite the Sweet Basil from days past, but still a tasty treat on occasion.

The Ruben was very good. Broccoli salad was outstanding. Great place if you're looking for something a little different.

Sweet Basil was everything I wanted in a restaurant. The ambiance was cozy, bright, cheerful, and private where I chose to sit. The staff was polite, accommodating, and informative. I ordered the Sweet Basil Sampler lunch. The portion size was perfect and the food presentation and taste were appetizing. The menu prices were competitive and affordable for me.

Their menu might be best because they have a variety of soups, sandwiches, and salads, even a kids-size meal. And they have a Weight Watchers special.

I am not able to recommend an entree because it is my first visit in 7 years, not sure what I ate before. I did note that the broccoli while tasty was served to me lukewarm. I intend to return to this location soon to try their other options.

Pretty good, but we had to stand in line a long time, even though there were only a few people ahead of us. The chalkboard menu has no prices, and I thought the food was a little more expensive than I would have expected. The chicken salad scoop on a lettuce leaf was pretty good but came with only two crackers, which I thought was stingy. My husband liked the red white and blue salad but not the spaghetti casserole special, as the sauce overpowered the ingredients, making everything taste the same.

$46 we got 2 sandwich plates with a side and one half sandwich with a side. The sandwiches were good but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. I was shocked at the price when I went to pay. I guess I should’ve looked into it a bit more. And these meals did not even come with a drink for that price! Actually from the receipt it looks like we were supposed to get a soup that they didn’t even include in our order. I heard great things about this place but it just wasn’t for me.

The food was good but not for the price they charge. Ambiance is not what you're paying for, and there is no service except for dropping the order off at your table, but they still charge $20 for a plate and expect a tip. Not impressed but not bad.

One of the most flavorful menus anywhere around. Red white and blue salad Oprah salad and the white BBQ chicken sandwich with cornbread or Salmon Sauerkraut sandwich but everything I've ordered on the menu has been very mouth
