    Cup of chili
    Sue P.

    Nothing better than a burger and a cup of chili from Basil's. The burgers come with a pat of butter - messy but sooooo yummy!

    arcade area!

    Basils II has very delicious burgers and drinks! Great service and would 100% recommend. (as you can tell by the last photo, it sure was a crowd pleaser!)

    Full order onion rings. Yum!! Crispy coating... just how we like them!

    Clean bar, nice seating area. Booths are nice and big. Yelp map was wrong, but we found it and tried to adjust the map in yelp to correct. Ladies working bar during the day are hilarious. One is grumpy, the other is friendly...made for a good visit. Wasn't sure the family should come in- but they were welcoming and said the grill was open. They were just nice ladies. Dad had special of day: tenderloin sandwich. Fabulous! Had a regular cheeseburger- perfect flavors. Should have gotten the double. The butter was a nice added flavor. The sauces offered with the boneless wings are spicy and flavorful. Spicy honey garlic was my daughters fav. Chicken strips were hot( temp)... tasty but just normal strips. ( don't know what my daughter was looking for) We were the only people in the bar at first... after lunch time... but others came in... even families. If we are ever in the area again, we'll stop here for sure.

    Bowl of soup and garlic bread.  Simple but good!

    Burgers were great as usual, but if what I received was a bowl of soup, a cup must be thimble sized.

It feels like…read morethis place wants to be upscale, but they failed on many levels, most notably the attitude of the front end staff. I could overlook or even forgive a single person who might be having a bad day, but we had negative experiences with 3 individuals. I went for dinner on a Tuesday evening with a small group of friends. We had a reservation for a table indoors, but were still considering the rooftop seating. When the first member of our group arrived, an employee was standing at the hostess stand but walked away without greeting her. It was not busy. Nobody else was waiting. She did not leave to go seat another party. She just walked away. This was the first moment of awkwardness. The menus: Before arriving, some of our group had looked at the regular menu and others had looked at the rooftop menu online. There was some confusion about why we couldn't order an item from the rooftop menu. (As I recall, the item in question was a flatbread available on the lunch menu for the regular dining room, but not on the dinner menu.) We were told that we would need to move to the rooftop if we wanted that item. Everything about the server's posture, facial expression including a visible eye roll, and even a loud sigh was very offputting from the start. We considered leaving before we even ordered our food, and in hindsight that may have been a better decision. Ultimately, we decided to stay and dine indoors, on the lower level at a table near a window looking onto the sidewalk. This may have been another mistake. It was very warm and stuffy. Even though there were only two other groups of people inside, it was so loud I could hardly hear people talking at my own table. I ordered the Agave Lime Chicken. It was good but not great. Two members of our party ordered flatbreads; two others ordered chicken tenders. This was where our evening really took a turn. On one of the flat boards used to serve the flatbread, there was a very small dead bug. It was a light gray-green color and so small that we weren't sure at first if it was a bug or a piece of some herb. We zoomed in on a phone camera and confirmed that it was indeed a dead bug. The member of our party who ordered this item had eaten one piece of her flatbread and was no longer interested in eating the rest. She did not want a box. She just wanted it taken away. The reaction of the staff was shocking. After clearing the board, one member of the staff returned and remarked that they were "still trying to find that bug." My jaw dropped at her tone - it was incredibly unprofessional. Thankfully, we had a picture. Another member of the staff came back to look at the photo as well, claiming that they could find no bug. They removed the meal from our bill, which is all I would really expect. I would still have considered returning another time if it had not been for the attitude and attempted gaslighting.

    It only took one visit to turn us into regulars…read more We've lived in the area for a few years and had never heard of this place until stumbling upon it on Yelp, hoping to find a compromise between two of our regular haunts. My husband wasn't sure about trying it - "if it's good, why haven't we heard about it?" - but the reviews were great, so we figured it was worth a visit. We were too late to catch the fish fry, but were wowed by the burger and the fish sandwich (who gets excited about a fish sandwich??) and the friendly service. We chatted with the owner and watched Food Network, which had been consistently playing on the TV screens for each of our evening visits. The atmosphere feels like your best friend's basement bar. There are tables, but we prefer to cozy up to the bar itself. Our fourth visit, we brought our kids, who were charmed by the "never lose" rubber ducky claw machine, and my husband's mother, who could find fault at a Michelin star restaurant (and usually does) but loved it as much as we did. The homemade beer batter cod or walleye is worth a visit from wherever you live: it's a massive portion and the best fish fry I have ever eaten in my entire Wisconsin-bred life. You'll have to follow them on Facebook to see the daily specials; but we have never been disappointed by the high-quality homemade food and friendly service we find here, whether a special or their regular menu. Five stars, highly recommend!
