Overpriced and overhyped

Hardly Basic, it’s basically a rip off, the food is YES Basic, expensive and folks you can prepare a better scrambled eggs at home for 25.00 ( the eggs benny) was no big deal, barely any sauce. But what astounded me was for the tea and the hot water 4.95… gulp gulp that’s a total gross rip off. If I didn’t have to leave a star I wouldn’t. Save your money and stay home cook your own breakie.

A good “Basic” brunch place! Ordered the chorizo breakfast and the chorizo benny. Good price point too.

Wow!! Best breakfast we’ve had in a long time! Our server was so sweet, the owner was in house and we had a lovely conversation with him. Highly recommend !!

A friend and I ventured to The Basic (Main street location). I arrived a few minutes early and upon arriving I was a bit unsure what was in store. The entryway was in disarray with what looked like construction materials. The sole server was busy and I was approached by someone behind the bar. He motioned me to a table and just kinda threw the menus on the table and walked away. I was quickly greeted by our server who promptly took and delivered my drink order while I waited for my friend to arrive. The menu has a decent amount of choices with some interesting and unusual options. I settled on the mess while my friend ordered the steak and eggs (which is more like a hamburger patty) and we shared the banana pancakes. This place is,as stated, basic. Nothing fancy but I have to say we both thoroughly enjoyed our choices. You can tell it’s a neighbourhood place with lots of regulars — it’s not huge but it’s cozy. Our server was delightful and as mentioned everything we ordered was delicious. We will definitely be back.
