We ordered sweet potato fries and cauliflower bites. There were a couple other options on the menu, as well.

I went into this after flying in from CA. I wasn’t sure what to expected given there aren’t that many vegan options in Charleston, but wow! This place was great! The staff were kind. The food had so many flavors packed into it. I couldn’t believe it! And the cocktails were really good.

Amazing selection for vegetarian and vegan. Had their Good Burger and Cauli Wings and so delicious. Next time I am trying the caramelized carrots !!!

Bottom line: very hip spot and yummy food, but expensive for what it is.

Went here after the aquarium with my wife and kids. We had a short wait for our table and the hostess and wait staff were incredibly kind and attentive.

I ordered the “Naughty Burger” my wife got the Basic Bowl with chicken and we got 2 kids PB&Js. The food was all very tasty. One of my kids PB&Js came out burnt/over toasted but they remade it quickly and without fuss.

My youngest was overtired and not on very good behavior unfortunately so we had to take her out for some fresh air to calm down twice but the staff was very understanding and kind.

If I had to say something negative I’d say it’s a little expensive for what it is. Each adult entree was a decent portion size and about $20 which feels a little steep but still reasonable. The PB&J with some apple slices was $8 a piece which is nuts, but I understand they have a business to run and have to cover wages and overhead—and the food was good.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re not going with kids or if your kids are old enough to order adult entrees. Solid spot for a light lunch.

My Fiance and I are from Indiana, and this was our first time visiting this restaurant.

I have never been to a vegan restaurant. I never believed there were any decent options for someone like me. I was sooooo wrong.
For a starter, we had the “Corn Ribs.” Afterwards I had the “Spinach & Feta Pita” with “sweet potato fries.” My Fiance had the “Chicken Dinner Bowl,” and the “Raspberry Basque Cheesecake” to finish it all off. I also had a very yummy glass of local kombucha.
Every single food item we ordered was amazing!

The atmosphere was very Hip and laid back and the service was excellent! I did not catch the name of the bartender that helped us, but he was perfect! (He had black hair and glasses.) He made some very tasty recommendations and was extremely friendly the entire time we were there.

I am now very interested to see where their creativity takes their food, and we will be coming back to visit!

Extremely disappointing experience in terms of the human experience. The service was terrible from start to finish. Bartenders were completely inattentive, and the hosts were outright rude—unwelcoming and dismissive. Our server showed no urgency or concern, making it clear that customer service is not a priority here.

We were very happy with our visit to this restaurant. All the food was high-quality and healthy. It’s a great place to bring kids because you don’t have to worry about what they’ll eat. For anyone looking for a nutritious and satisfying meal, this is the perfect spot. We loved everything — 10 out of 10!

No notes.

Genuinely one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had.

Sometimes I contemplate the meaning of life, then I find myself at Basic Kitchen and I start to understand…

I was a little disappointed. The avo toast was one slice with a little avo spread.
The veggie burger and the cauliwings were good. I was still hungry after the slice of toast, which with the right amount of about never happens.
