My girlfriend and I were looking for a new place to try and noticed that The Patio was now open so we figured we would try it out. I ordered the Italian Combo Sandwich and the Mozzarella Sticks. The Mozzarella Sticks were the really cheap ones you can find at dive bars and the sandwich was bland and so soggy I could barley hold it. I made it half way through the sandwich before it completely feel apart causing me to be to disgusted to eat any further. Not that bland beef and burnt sausage was what I wanted to eat anyway. My girlfriend ordered the Double Patio Burger and the "Loaded" Mac and Cheese along with a side of Ranch and Honey Mustard. She did not eat the Mac and Cheese due to it being cold and the Burger was greasy and tasteless. I also had to get up and get the condiments that I ordered and had to pay for. Yeah, they charge for condiments. I had a manager come to the table so he could see how much food was left over and explain to him what all was wrong. He was very nice and offered me a 15% discount on my next visit... Sorry but saving $3 is not going to get me back in that place. Total bill was $25 which was kind of pricey if the food was good. Moral of the story, do not waste your time nor your money unless you like fighting with your girlfriend for the bathroom when you get home.

I have mixed feeling about the patio. The food has been good every time we have gone here (we especially like the pulled pork nachos) and there are plenty of places to sit if you have big groups. Its hard for me to put a finger on why I dont love this place... I think its a combination of the price being a bit on the high side, the menu being a bit too broad, and the lack of "character" in the store. By character I mean that the place feel like a polished chain and lacks the character of my favorite BBQ joints in the area. Still the food here is consistently on the good side and the menu has a lot of choices. Definitely worth giving a try.

My family and I are big fans of the CHICKEN OREGANATO - a half a rotisserie chicken cooked with lemon, olive oil and herbs. Delicious stuff! But why did PATIO stop including the oil-lemon-herbs pan drippings with the order? The last time we dined in, and the usual drippings were not included and we asked about it, we were told it was not longer included with the order. The runner volunteered to get us some, and he came back with a tiny 2 or 3 oz cup of just the RAW oil-lemon-herb mix - not stuff cooked with the bird. This is NOT the same, nor as good as what was once such a vital part of the dish.

Stopped by for the first time at lunch time. I had a pulled pork sandwich and onion rings. The sandwich was big and delicious. The bun was good. The pork was great. Not too much sauce. Couldve used some pickle chips but perfect otherwise. The onion rings werent that good. Theyre ok but let someone else order them then just have a few. Amongst the best pulled pork sandwiches Ive had and I lived in Kansas City (bbq restaurants everywhere) for 6 years. I think it was around $14-15 no drink. Really big portions so it was worth the price. I will be back!

I here for lunch at least three times a week. My favorites include: the tacos, pulled turkey sandwich, and the kabobs. The tacos are great, my preference is for the beef brisket tacos, but the pulled turkey version is also good. They used to have a bbq chicken taco, but its off the menu now, which is kind of a bummer. The shrimp and chicken kabobs are also good, a little on the expensive side for a regular lunch item. The pulled turkey sandwich is great when paired with sweet potato waffle fries. Overall, solid lunch spot!

Ive been here a couple of times and every time the food has been great! Ive had the chicken Ranchero and the guacamole burger, both delicious. The fries are nothing special, actually a bit on the bland side. The sweet potato waffle fries are good and not overly sweet. The desserts look delicious but the portions for the entrees never leave any room for it. As for the place, it is kept clean and quiet enough to have a conversation without raising your voice to be heard. I definitely recommend this place if youre in the area!

My wife had the pretzel BBQ Burger and I had the half chicken with a side of barbecue sauce I have no intentions on ever coming back here and neither does she. The food itself it was something we could not even finish and we came in here starving. It is not because it was too much food it is just because it did not taste fantastic or anywhere near. Kind of lost my appetite halfway through. Hope you guys work on this cause being a place that is advertising barbecue should be fantastic at barbecue. The sauce was good!

I liked how big the place was. Good selection of food at a reasonable price. I just think that the seating area should better reflect the name. To make it seem like you are outside, especially when the colder months are greater than the warmers one here. That would amazing. All in all good place to eat when youre hungry.

BBQ is Mediocre at best. Expensive for the quality ... Much better BBQ places out there paying pretty much for the cafeteria/sports bar atmosphere than anything ... Sure aint the food or service. Surprised people think this is any more than 3 start at most ... Guess what most people consider great in this area.

The chicken oreganato is wonderful their cheeseburgers are wonderful I wish they would bring back the blackened catfish. The ribs are fantastic. Also it would be nice if they would bring back a variety of desserts as they used to have many years ago period just about any food you get you will not be disappointed.

Basils is a wonderful place to dine. It has ambiance, tablecloths, heated patio, great service and great food! Steaks are juicy and served as requested. The Greek dishes are delicious, as is everything in between! We love beginning the meal with saganaki, the flaming cheese. We highly recommend ding here.

Cant go wrong with this place! Great BBQ, Burgers and goo selection of beer (bottle and draught). Tons of seating and even a community room if you need to hold a meeting here. Cant go wrong!

Good food, and fast service. A bunch of tables and booths not cleaned or wiped down so seating was kind of limited when I got there. So thats why Im rating them a 3 instead of a 4 or 5.

Decent food, tough service. I have been waiting a bit for a drink at the bar. A saw a bartender at the beginning of my visit. At this point Id just like to pay my tab and leave.

Nicest fast food restaurant, they have a good menu and plenty of options, my favorite: Fish Tacos. Fast service, comfortable, modern, clean and the best fast food place around.
