What Aimee F likes about The Basics:
We really enjoyed this place. The food was great. The smoked chicken was actually smoked which is not easy to find here..yet tender. The sides were all great. Great wine and beer list. The Mac and cheese is worth the 10 min wait. We had one of the specials for dessert and it was very light and summery. Loved everything about this place! Parking: Street parking. Kid-friendliness: Kid menu available and great atmospher... View all feedback.

What Toria Chenault doesn't like about The Basics:
Biscuits are the blandest flour bombs I have ever had the displeasure of eating. The fried okra was rock hard and over fried, so also inedible. Won’t be returning. View all feedback.
