"Came here for a quick bite eat and was craving a pastrami sandwich. I was shocked of the price but it was worth it. Very good and big sandwich. I highly recommend this spot. Will come back for breakfast lol"

"First bad experience. Loyal client. Great food. Service was not what I've had in the past. After my meal I realized it was before 5:00pm. Not my usual people working. Older lady with glasses took my order. Cheeseburger combo. I think she overcharged me. Last time I was there the pastrami burger combo came with a salad. I didn't get a salad this time. I asked her and she said it doesn't come with a salad. Asked for diet Pepsi and I'm sure she gave me regular. I didn't want to deal with her. Went to my truck and got my can of diet Pepsi. Great food. Just not my day dealing with her."

"Use to drive by the old location and wanted to check it out before the pandemic. For my family and my first time here was great. I heard they have pretty good biscuits & gravy/breakfast. Treated a friend to a biscuits & gravy breakfast and he enjoyed it as much as I did. Wifey got their fried chicken dinner simply from seeing another patron eating theirs. Our daughter had their pancakes breakfast with bacon and eggs. The place is clean, organized, service is great, plenty of parking, drive thru for your convenience. I've been to many all American fast food restaurants and Yellow Basket is an exceptional one to visit and enjoy the many items on their menu. I'd love to come back and try more items, their zucchini sticks looked pretty amazing so I'm sure to be back soon."

"My brother and I had breakfast on a Saturday. We each had a ribeye dish. He had the burrito and I had the ribeye and eggs. The price of $14.99 was so amazingly affordable. Which by the way, $14.99 is the highest price on the menu. The staff were really nice, and efficient. The menu is extensive, so we're going to return to try something else. The Yellow Basket has plenty of parking and a drive-thru as well!"
