Came in for breakfast with my girlfriends and the service was amazing. The food is great but really can’t mess up breakfast food and the portions are ginormous. Will come back

You will NOT leave hungry. Their portion sizes are huge! The menu is a little daunting with so many options, but the food is all pretty good and the staff friendly. Prices are pretty reasonable, considering you're going to come home with left overs.

What a hidden gem of a restaurant! Such a wide variety of food, coffees, shakes and the kitchen sink! I love that you can get any item on the menu at anytime. Very fair prices and gigantic portions. Family, reasonable date night, or group friendly.Atmosphere is warm, clean and inviting. Our server was very knowledgeable and sweet! One of the new places that you can get home food such as turkey or meatloaf with all the fixes too! I also liked that dinners come with soup or salad and even an option for ice cream or rice pudding.Menu is immensely large so bring your fat pants!

Server was great and don't want to fault her at all. Table looked clean at first but after sitting for a few minutes we noticed it had dried ketchup on it and the bowl of creamer was actually just used creamer cups and crumbs from a previous diner. Burger came dried out with a stale bun and I'm easy going so for me to send it back is a sign of how bad it was. Manager took the burger off the bill but then added a charge of $5 for the cup of soup thats included in the price of the burger. At the cashier stand the manager ended up taking the soup of the bill and then just walked away without another word, apology, request to give them another chance or anything. My wife and I go out to eat every single weekend for breakfast or lunch and will never visit sweet basil again. Sad because it seemed so promising at first.

It is our second time to visit the restaurant. The food is delicious. Lots of choices. We had great service from the friendly server, Jan.

The Banana Bread Foster dessert is where it's at here. I live out of state and every time I'm in I have to go here just for that. Also, the Greek combo plate is wonderful - but the stuffed grape leaves are out of this world. The menu is huge and diverse and has something for everyone. Service is friendly. Portions are HUGE. Restaurant and restrooms both clean. Great place.

The food was AMAZING! (Definitely glad they have boxes) and Jan’s service was absolutely fantastic! So sweet and engaged with everyone at the table. Will definitely be back to sit in her section!

I was looking for a salad and sandwich type place and found Sweet Basil Cafe on Google. The menu had a lot of options that looked great so we decided to give it a try. I ordered the Pesto Chicken Panini with fries. The fries were beer battered fries which was a pleasant surprise. My mom ordered the Parmesan Crusted Chicken Panini which came with a garlic aioli. She was not a fan of the aioli so I used it to dip my fries and it was delicious. My first bite of the panini was amazing. The bread, the pesto mayo, the melty cheese... All good! The only thing I wish was different was the chicken in the panini. It was a large chicken breast that was hard to bite through in certain places. My mom had to take the chicken off her sandwich and tried to cut it and eat it but it was tough. I think they need to slice the chicken prior to putting it on the sandwich. I will definitely be back to try some other options!

I normally love this place the food is really good, the servers have always been nice, I went in today tho and I got half way through the word hello before the host abruptly interrupted me and sternly said “just give me a second” I sat at the table for a few minutes before I left because I felt uncomfortable.

Food was good but the portion sizes are ridiculous! I would much rather pay less and get less food. We spent over $100 for my family of five to out to breakfast and that includes three small kids. Also, I’m not sure why but my food came out when everyone else was already almost done eating, which I found a little odd…same thing with the tea that I had ordered when we first sat down. If I went again, I would definitely share!

From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted by the host very nicely. The service was amazing, fast and quick to get my food. The Atmosphere is very inviting and clean! I ordered the corned beef hash Benedict which I have never seen on a breakfast menu, it was absolutely amazing and creative! Overall I would not be leaving a review if I was not completely blown away! Amazing experience and I highly recommend!
