"Worst management I have ever seen"! My story begins when I bought a Deal Saver gift certificate online. The deal was $5 for $10 worth at any Basil location. The gift certificates had expired, but legally would still hold the original purchased value which was the $5 dollar amount. Last night I visited this location and showed the cashier the printed certificate. She immediately looked panicked and told us in order to use it, she would have to call her boss, weird? She told me the reason was due to a customer who scammed them out of an expired voucher. What the hell does this have to do with me??? Ten minutes later the manager calls back and told the cashier to come back in tomorrow at 3 in order to see it for himself. The man on the phone is supposedly the owner. What is he thinking??? If this is how the operate, they are beyond doomed!! I think the lack of customers inside was also a sure sign of future problems! All this over $5 bucks? Pathetic to say the least. Never will I eat at Basils again!

I have ate here numerous times. Their ribs are usually very good - tender, meaty and have a tasty rub. I recommend them, but they are not cheap. The chicken tends to be a bit dry. It's Ok, but does not come with a lot of flavor as many flame broiled establishments serve their chicken. It's a little pricey, healthy, but dry. My biggest complaint is their gyros. Specifically the gyro meat. It is sliced paper thin. So thin that the meat comes off VERY dry. So much so that if it is reheated - it reminds one of jerky (seriously). On my last visit I asked they slice it thicker. They refused saying they use a saw and this is the only way they slice it (no knife available). Honestly, I have probably ate at close to a hundred places that serve gyros. No where have I found meat sliced this thin. It ruins the meal. The fact that they refused to accommodate shows a real lack of customer service. Perhaps the reason is their lame attempt to save money by stretching the meat out in the Gyro. Well it fails miserably. I would much rather spend a little more (if I must) for flavorful gyro meat then dry jerky.

Great spot for grilled chicken but the wings are my goto. They don't separate the drums so you get a double portion compared to anywhere else that serves wings. The bbq sauce is excellent and has a little kick. Wings are grilled not fried so less fat and great taste. Ribs are excellent too. Good place for lunch or dinner. Local owner that will remember your name and what you like to eat the family has opened several locations with the same menu.

We have been eating at Basil's ever since they opened. And I was going there even before - I was the acting Fire Marshal and did their Certificate of Occupancy! This is just plain good food - and it has been the same from day one. Gus and Nick make the place not only a place with good food, but also a friendly place where you get to enjoy eating there. In September (?) they sold the place they've been in for 20+ years and moved down to the plaza on the south side of Manatee Avenue immediately west of Burger King. The new place is even nicer than the old. It is brighter - both in lighting and furnishing - and the counter is a fresh new look, too. We really like the new look. As for the food - it tastes the same, if not even better! We both had chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, while I had the beans and my wife a salad. It was so tender and tasty - just like before! There are other options beside chikcen, and I have been known to have gyros and my wife a chicken salad on pita - but generally I come for the chicken. The only thing missing from the old location is the drive through. My wife feels bad about that because she would often go there and get a chicken salad through the drive in when I am working out of town - but now she'll have to take advantage of the two spaces directly in front of the door for the carry out business. All in all we highly recommend Basil's - always have, always will!

You're better off going to a grocery store and picking up one of their rotisserie chickens. I got the 2 piece chicken dinner meal with white meat. The chicken was very dry and flavorless (I honestly couldn't identify a single spice). The cole slaw and the mashed potatoes tasted just like they were both out of a box/bag. Very poor quality food and small servings considering it was $8 for the meal. Kind of tasted like something you would get at a hospital cafeteria.

Okay folks this is "Bradenton"...so I was very kind and gave you 2 stars. The chicken is tasty. I made up a new game at this restaurant. It is called, "Is this from a restaurant or a school lunch?". Sure, order a bucket of chicken...but the sides are only good for a laugh. Oh yeah, the manager got smart with the cashier and they were not even busy...Surprised?

I've been here a half dozen times and like the quick service and tasty entrees. Try the stuffed tomato!

I've been eating Basils since I was a kid. Such a Bradenton staple. This new location has a fresh new look and the same great food. Flame broiled chicken is so flavorful and light! I love the Greek salad as my side...Delish! Hubby loves the gyro wrap and my daughter eats up chicken and salad like it's her job! We come here every few weeks, affordable, fast, and delicious night out. Lunch or dinner-don't miss out on this tasty Bradenton staple! The California in me wishes they'd lessen their styrofoam carbon footprint, hopefully in time!
