Early dinner before a show at PURE Theater. Happy to see them on the discounted theater dining program! Everything was delicious!

From our 8 year old, “their food is really good.” He had the grilled salmon with quinoa for lunch and we loved it so much we went back for dinner. For dinner he had cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. Again he was very happy. His mom and dad, who are vegetarians, were also equally satisfied. Highly recommend. And highly suggest the beet margarita.

I can’t remember the last time I was so pleasantly surprised by a restaurant. We were a group of 10, so we arranged for a family style meal and the chef blew out socks off. The beet hummus with fresh veggies was so flavorful. The buffalo style cauliflower was ridiculous! The food was matched by the service. Basic Kitchen has a friendly vibe and top notch staff attending to whatever we needed, all while being playful and friendly. Highly recommended. We will return.

The food here was phenomenal. The buffalo cauliflower and the burger was one of the best I have ever had. The burger also came with potato crisps that were cooked to perfection. The service was friendly but just a little bit slow. I would definitely come back here.

First time enjoying a Saturday morning brunch with my wife at Basic Kitchen CHS. We ordered the Cauliflower Buffalo Wings, Latte, Naughty Burger and the Smoked Salmon Toast. Overall it was a tasty and filling brunch the dishes were curated to show clean eating which we definitely tasted. Most of all the dishes were made in house and the atmosphere of the restaurant had natural lighting it was open and vivid in colors. We recommend having a meal here and we will be back for dinner! ✌????

We love thus establishment and highly recommend others to enjoy healthy, delightful, and deliciously prepared meals. Basic kitchen offers a variety of kids' meals (grilled cheese, salmon, pasta, etc) and for those over 12, they have wonderful selection for any pallette.

Good was good and the options were great for those with dietary restrictions. I liked that the waiter helping the couple next to me asked about dietary restrictions. My waitress didn’t do that. She did ask for the check twice which I guess was our fault, although we didn’t stay for long since we sat at the bar. Either way, I’d check this place out again if I was in the area. I recommend the rishi latte.

The food was amazing and so fresh! The wait staff was friend and very prompt getting our order to us. We were seated immediately around noon even though we did not have a reservation. It was not a noisy place, either which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend this lovely little restaurant!!!

First time here and I can't wait to go back. So many vegetarian options I have to go back to try more. I started with the vegan Caesar. Great flavor and dressing. A lot larger than I expected, I took two bites of my entree and wrapped the rest up bc I was full. Yellow coconut curry was delicious. My husband had the green salad with added chicken and loved it. Drinks were delicious. Good place for a casual lunch/ dinner or a date night. Great to meet with friends who have a variety of dietary restrictions. Baby changing table in the bathroom.

After a long 5 hour drive from GA, we made it just in time for opening to try this place out! We were immediately seated. And provided water and drinks We ordered a burger, curry with chicken, chicken bowl, and kids pasta. Everything was delicious!! Service was excellent. Service is always a hit or miss when traveling with 2 toddlers but everyone was so nice. Would definitely be back
