You HAVE to try their hummingbird cake. I dream of it. I also can't stop getting their meatloaf. It is just so good, hard to go with something new.

The food was mediocre, the service was not good, the bartender/waitress was too busy socializing with her friends at the bar to provide good service. To TP in the womans bathroom. Skip this place.

Me and wife walked in sat down and ordered their chicken Cobb salad on menu it says cold chicken as for warm chicken host states can do grilled chicken breast. Once get salad it comes with small piece of chicken breast almost a tenderloin. The bowl mainly had nothing, but lettuce with a Lil bit of cheese. Four bacon crumb, five slices of cucumber and 5 lil tomatoes for almost $17 w tax. That is an absolute rip off.

Basics absolutely lives up to its name — simple, clean, and perfectly executed! The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly and attentive, and everything feels effortlessly put together. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, coffee, or just hanging out, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer. Consistency, quality, and comfort — Basics nails all three. Highly recommend!

Small dining space so people are greeted outside...sonif there is a line, know there is no lobby in restaurant.

People seemed friendly and attentive. They also seem to work as a team so cant imagine much gets dropped here. Cobb salad was good. Really enjoyed the smoked chicken and guacamole turned out to be a great touch!

Tomato soup had a great flavor but consistency was more like pizza sauce. Wouldn't recommend. Mac and cheese was simple and delicious. Appreciated the melted cheddar on top.
