First time coming here, so it had taken me a moment to figure out what I exactly wanted. Nice people there! I was recommended a sandwich and soup combo: Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. So, I tried it out and it's definitely more superior than a regular slice of bread with cheese. You have a variety of melt cheeses in two deliciously soft bread, I think it has provolone, cheddar, ricotta, maybe cream cheese? But regardless, just a large blend of cheeses melted into one.Tomato soup goes great to dip your sandwich in. A lovely spot to grab a bite to eat!

This was a very cute and quaint little spot to have a bite to eat and with the big glass windows we sat by there were also beautiful views of downtown and lots of people watching as I ate my food. It seemed to be a very popular spot at lunch and filled up very quickly while we were there.

They put their foot in this food. OmG ?The Big Phil was very filling yet light and busting with flavor. The Cesar salad was huge and tasted like heaven with croutons. Last but not least, the basil tomato soup tastes like it came from mom's kitchen.To sum up my visit, I WILL BE BACK!!!!!!

My husband and I were on a road trip. We toured the state capitol and then, on the recommendation of a capitol worker, went to Basil's Cup. I ordered a garden salad with ranch dressing and my husband ordered The Phil with a bag of chips. The salad came with garlic bread. The Phil came with brown gravy, but it really didn't need it. The sandwich was pretty big. The food was very good. It's a about 3 blocks from the capitol building.

Enjoyed lunch in the beautiful capital city, downtown Jackson. Beautiful scenery, great food, perfect atmosphere and good vibes. Enjoyed conversating with the friendly customers and run into JSU President. Thank you honoring me with a picture.

Amazing food, friendly, helpful staff and service. Clean facilities, homemade, generous servings. The banana pudding reminded me of my grandma's and the unsweet tea was light, crisp, refreshing. That crab cake salad with the comeback dressing? Oh, I'm a comeback. *chefskissfantastic* Best meal I've had so far in Mississippi.

The sandwich I ordered came with the absolute hardest bread I have ever seen. The side "garden salad" had nothing but lettuce, two slices of cucumber, and lots of olives --gross. Then, while I was trying to eat what I could, one of the employees decided to spray really strong lemon scented bleach on all the tables around me, so that officially was the end of lunch. Paid $16 plus tip for really bad food and an awful experience.

Everything!!! Today, Michael, Sheila and the rest of the team made our day by making the most delicious Pepperoni Calzones there ever was! You can’t beat the Shrimp Toast, the bow tie pasta, Heath cookies or even the Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese. I’ve never left hungry and never had a bad meal! There’s nothing this group won’t do to make you full & happy!
