    Boneless Wings w/ Fries & Drink
    Alex C.

    I got the lemon pepper boneless wings and fries. Portion size was huge. Both tasted fresh. The workers were super size and food came out quick. I will say the chicken could have used a bit more of the rub. Pretty good place over all

    We made a special trip for this, and came away disappointed. I had the bare sauce which I very much liked, wife had plain. We thought the chicken was overcooked, chewy and dry. Fries were cold, but nicely seasoned.

    Got the fried pickles and it was a little bit of a wait but a huge amount of food. Tasty but a little salty. Also won a hot sauce from scanning their QR code. Got the hottest sauce since most of them were pretty sweet. Place is hot inside and could use more a/c.

    Great food! Reasonably priced. Had the Mac & cheese bowl (so good). My hubby had the Nashville chicken sandwich. That was really good too.

    Let's walk through my experience. Their shared parking lot is small and not user friendly. Access from Tamiami isn't great from the east side. On a Wednesday night at 6:50 the place was sort of dark, but seemed clean. The young woman that served me at the counter was professional and nice enough, but I would not call her unfriendly but very no non-sense and not briming with personality. As I was the only customer maybe she was letting boredom get to her. I placed my order, chicken and waffles and a side of Mac and Cheese. The order was to go. I live 5 minutes from this location, if there is traffic. When I got home I ate immediately. The waffles were soggy. My guess is the way they pack their cardboard contain is the problem. The moisture from the freshly cooked chicken is soaked in by the waffles. Since I hate soggy food, the waffles were disappointing, although their flavor wasn't all bad. They do seem to use a bit much vanilla (think it was vanilla) in their batter. The chicken was not at all crispy. Had the chicken was tender, had nice flavor but the skin was kinda gross it was so soggy. The price, with tip, was okay. The value just wasn't there. This is my second visit there in 3 years. I doubt I'd rush back or recommend the place. There are just to many places in SRQ that offer a better ROI. Now, crispy chicken and waffles I don't have to ring out, I'd go back.

    Great place. A real asset to the restaurant community of Sarasota. Friendly staff, clean dining room, reasonable prices and great food. And don't let the name fool you, it's not all HOT. There's a spice temperature for every taste bud. Can't wait for another meal at this gem of an eatery.

    Strips with After Burner Sauce & Sandwich with Angry Hot on the side!

    We made an impulse visit to the Fork & Hen for dinner. We were able to get in without a…read morereservation and opted to sit inside, they also have outdoor seating. Interesting décor of stuff. I was seated facing a wall so I didn't get a good long look at my surroundings but between what I did see and looking at photos posted on Yelp the theme seems to be chickens. Our server was friendly and available to answer any questions as we spent time looking over the menu. I settled on The Hitman, a double patty smashed burger with American cheese, hen sauce, fried mozzarella, Nueske's bacon, with a side of garlic parm fries. It isn't listed on the online menu but there is a note the menu changes frequently so it may not match the day's offering. Let me start by saying that two of the people at my table got salads and were disappointed that there was too much lettuce and too little other stuff. With that out of the way, let me talk about The Hitman, which I loved. What is Nueske bacon? This is a special smoked flavorful bacon made by the Nueske family. Fork & Hen uses thick cut, and there were two slices on my burger. My burger towered so high there was no hope of picking it up, so I attacked it with knife and fork. Being made with Focaccia bread certainly added to the height, but so did a thick block of mozzzrella cheese. The cheese, melted on the inside and crispy on the outside, was substantial. I would be careful biting into a hot block of melted cheese, think pizza mouth. In my photo I broke into one corner to show that is cheese, so much cheese. The burger patty part topped with American cheese was by itself great, like you might find at a home cookout or Smashburgers. Other toppings were there but for me this was meat and a lot of cheese. And as much bread as you want. I loved my surprising good cheeseburger.

The "Best Damn Mac and Cheese" is not false advertisement. Wow. Huge portion and worth every $13 penny. Elevated with Gruyère, donegal cheddar and reggiano cheese with a light béchamel and is so very good. I foresee myself craving this in the future and being sad I live in Orlando and can't even Door Dash. I really enjoyed the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict too - though some of my crab had a little fishy taste, but most of it was perfect. The Meyer-lemon hollandaise was creamy, light and just enough citrus flavor. Love it being served on soft foccacia bread with perfectly poached eggs. Service was fantastic! Our server "Erica" was amazing. She made great recommendations and even made a fresh pot of coffee for me, Including an iced version of it to go along with my husband's iced tea. She said portion sizes are even bigger at dinner! We will definitely be back.

Menu prices are fair, and portions are straightforward. With the two-piece, you'll get a thigh and a leg; the three-piece adds a wing. The sides? They're okay. Tasty enough, but clearly not the star of the show. You'll get maybe a couple ounces, so don't come expecting a full Southern spread. Now back to that chicken...this is where Basil's shines. The grilled flavor is authentic and absolutely delicious. Skip the barbecue sauce...it actually takes away from the flavor instead of adding to it. Trust what they're doing with the seasoning and grilling. You won't regret it. All in all, if you're craving some solid grilled chicken, Basil's is worth a stop. Just don't expect atmosphere or gourmet sides. It's all about that perfectly seasoned chicken.

My favorites are a gyro on pita and the south of the border wrap with a side of mashed potatoes. Basil's is a chicken joint but you gotta get the gyro at least once, trust, it's so good. The gyro and south of the border are packed with meat and veg too. They don't skimp on the stuffing. The baklava isn't too sweet and very flaky. The owners and all the workers are so nice. Love supporting this local, family-run business.
