Basil is on the Fondren main street. You can sit with a view of the street or the shopping. Always lots of places to eat and shop in the area. The food was great. Lots of choices and combinations. My food came quickly and well prepared. I'll be back. read more

As a first time eater at Basils - I went with a simple staple to more easily judge quality: pepperoni pizza! I am a big pizza fan & this one did not disappoint - it was very good! For a quick lunch, their simple counter service and polite staff (yes polite, ignore those claiming rude staff - those folks may just want to re-evaluate who's the rude person!) was a welcome change to the slow pace of a "sit down & order" style joint! I sat in the funky-chic communal dining area & was pleasantly surprised at how quick I heard my name being called & a dude delivering my pizza to me table! I think the wife & I will be returning for a date soon - we both love good pizza & this is definitely a good pizza joint! read more

I got food from Basil's delivered to me for lunch so this isn't about the service as someone else picked it up. I got the cheese pizza which was pretty good, but I thought it was weird the way they sliced it up and down. read more

it really gets me hype when the simplest dishes are cooked to perfection--like this pizza was so simplistically good. you could taste the freshness of the ingredients and the authenticity of the crust and sauce. i was glad i spent my Saturday appreciating this pizza. i would definitely recommend this place for those that want to experience something more than just a fast food pizza. ALSO: random but, their chocolate chip cookies???????? 2 die 4 read more

Basil's Fondren - pepperoni pizza - Delis Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

One of my favorite restaurants for a long time. However, less than a month ago, my lunch was entirely ruined by an altercation in the restaurant. The owner's sister essentially verbally abused one of the workers who has always taken great care of me in the restaurant for being late for work that day and not completing the deviled egg prep. I have not decided if I will return, but if this were my business, this lack of professionalism from the sister berating my employees would be completely unacceptable. Great food but I hope this review will help to make this right for this employee. read more

Great food and atmosphere it's one of my favorite restaurants to go to. My family loves it as well!

They close whenever they feel like. No consistency at all. Hours that are posted on door are blank. I was very interested in trying this place but it's hardly ever open. The key to being a successful restaurant is Consistency!!!! read more

Let me tell y'all about BASILS. This was definitely one of my top 5 Jackson Places to eat! It's located right next to Roosters. The quality of the pizza there was just what I needed the day I came. It's a little bit pricy but not too expensive and it's definitely worth every dollar. You end up getting a lot for what you paid for. I had the MJG pizza and let me tell you eating it was worth every dollar. The cheese and sauce blend was nice and there was definitely enough pizza for me to have some for dinner later on too. The Caesar salad was nice and full too (as you can see). They also give you a piece of bread with this AMAZING sauce to accompany it (which I used it with my pizza too and it was heavenly). Another highlight that I must mention were the COOKIES. They were an impulsive buy but easily one of the best impulsive buys I ever made haha. The cookies were moist and I think made from scratch. Basically everything that touched my mouth that came from here was good haha. I would definitely 10/10 recommend. read more

Person inside was very rude. Their hours say 9 o'clock but they said they closed at 2 o'clock. I don't think I would eat at this place with the rude employees read more

I ordered the veggie panini and paid extra to add roasted red bell peppers. There is 1/8th on one on my panini. I've been gone 3years and couldn't wait to eat here again. Quality today was not good. Super disappointed.. read more

Best. Pizza. In. This. Ciiiiity. Yooooooooo !!!! This place is such a hit ! Came here as a last minute choice on a Monday evening when I saw Sal & Mookies was closed. The guy who was working the counter/phone today (4/16/18) had the best customer service and was super polite. My pizza was so delicious. I saw the yelp hours saying they closed at 2:30 but I decided to call them anyways -- THEY WERE OPEN !!!! Yaaaaassss !!! The pizza was perfect sized and very satisfying. They have many different options to pick from as well. Will definitely be coming back here to dine the next time I am in the city and looking for a satisfying meal. read more

Basil's has never disappointed! The food is made with fresh ingredients and made-to-order! I have my favorites, so I haven't had the opportunity to "stray" and try new things. The #3 (Turkey Mozzarella) is ADDICTIVE...this panini is heaven sent, Chile!!!!! I typically pair it I'm with the side salad - the feta cheese and green olives gives this salad a kick that makes it a step above your typical side salad! The stuffed eggs are okay. I tend to buy them because I love stuffed eggs, but I'm not "head over heels" about these. Also, the "premium pepperoni pizza" is delicious. I tried it when they first added it to the menu and I've intended to get it again, but the #3 just hasn't let me yet. Lol read more

Had a wonderful hamburger at Basil's. I should have eaten the regular hamburger--around $9--but I was hungry and opted for the large (($11, I think). It was outstanding. And cooked to perfection. Service was fine. Have a hamburger for lunch at Basil's. read more

Sneakily the best bread in town. Their primary specialties are panini and pizza, both have amazing dough/bread/crust. Their salad also comes with a warmed slice of panini bread which is delightful. If you're new to this place, grab a panini. They're simple but tasty and most of them are stuffed full! The pizza is also a must try. Creative toppings and like I mentioned, the crust is sneakily one of the best breads in town. They've got a small salad menu, get the garden salad, it's just a general "kitchen sink" style salad, but also comes with a deviled egg and is a vehicle for their excellent comeback dressing. The menu also has a couple little treats like the pasta salad, deviled eggs and cookies. Everything they do is always just delightfully above expectations. Super friendly, quick service and low prices. Perfect for lunch or a quick dinner! Menu is simple enough to make picking something easy, but has enough diversity to please everyone! read more

I ordered for delivery. The pizza was really good. I loved the veggie pizza and my son loved the pepperoni. I can't speak to the restaurant but I can say that their pizza is delicious. Not super saucy or too little cheese. It was perfect. read more

Great pizza! I'm the type that likes my pizza slices cut weird so this definitely caters to that. They have a big variety of different types of pizza. I believe I had the State Street and my sister ordered the Rocky which is like a Philly cheesesteak. And get this... they come with ranch. :-) read more

Feel like I'm really late to the party discovering this gem but better late than never! There are a few familiar faces there every time I stop in for lunch and they are always friendly and happy to offer suggestions. The sandwich I get is delicious and the pasta salad is yummy too. Definitely planning to try the pizza as soon as I can convince myself to quit ordering the same sandwich every time ‍ read more

Mmm. Great salads. So fresh. I enjoy the spinach salad. It's got chicken, bacon, cheese, and grapes on it. A light lemon vinaigrette is used on it. It's very delicious for a light dressing. I've tried the sandwiches here too and the bread is a yummy fociatta. Service is quick. Staff are friendly. There is limited seating outside. Parking is not great. It's in the "mall" of Fondren. read more

For Jackson, very pleasant place with good pizza. The State Street is a 12" pepperoni, bacon and sausage combo in tomato sauce. It does leave behind a greasy box, but if that worries you, you shouldn't eat pizza! The crust is hand made and fresh, the ingredients real and baked just right. I love the lettuce combo of the salad, packed full other ingredients. The focaccia was a disappointment, cold and tasteless, don't recommend it. Order at the counter, get a number to put to put on your table outside or in the common area of the building. Love the Fondren area! read more

Great pizza and sandwich shop in Fondren. Great service and the prices are good. A must try if you and your family are in the area.

Their hours are too short during the week. But when you can finally catch them open it will be worth the wait! Sandwiches, pizzas, salads, etc...delicious! Located inside Fondren Corner. To-go or stay and eat it's always fresh. My advice; order you food, go across the way and get you a little something sweet from La Brioche and by the time you make it back your food it ready! read more

Saturday lunch meeting at Fondren Corner! We ordered from Basil's Fondren. My #4 panini was the Basil's version of a muffaletta. It's smaller but satisfies the craving, and they use awesome fresh mozzarella on their sandwiches! My friend got the Pimiento BLT (Pimiento cheese, bacon, Roma tomato and basil leaves) with a side salad. I brought the #12 grilled chicken home to the Jr Foodie. I love Basil's pasta salad (seriously. I could eat the pasta salad as a meal). Burger buns and focaccia for the paninis are house made! On top of that, owner/chef Nathan Glenn is not only one of the nicest guys in Jackaon but also one of our community's greatest supporters. His heart is bigger than his Rooster's burgers. Atmosphere: 5 We sat in the lobby. Light and lively diners and shoppers. Lots of folks coming and going from businesses. Not loud at all but active and uplifting. Service: 5 You order at the counter and they cheerfully bring it to you. Please tip. Hunting for tables and orders can't be easy. Let them know too where you're sitting. Really great folks. Food: 5 My panini was awesome, and Jr Foodie proclaimed his to-go order I brought home fantastic. read more

If you're looking for a great, quick lunch in Fondren, Basil's is an excellent option. I've been a fan for years. I was bummed when they closed their Belhaven location, but will still often trek to Fondren (haha, "trek"... it's a 5 minute ride away) for a great lunch here. The menu is mostly paninis, salads, soups and pizza and you really can't go wrong. The pizzas are really yummy and a great option for splitting between friends or coworkers in a group. The paninis are super flavorful. I love the homemade bread they make them on-- it's SO good. My favorite go-to meal is the chef's salad with grilled chicken. It's a pretty standard menu item, but Basil's uses super fresh and delicious ingredients which makes a hella difference. Their comeback dressing is really great, I highly recommend it. Located in the Fondren Corner building, Basil's is central to everything in Fondren. You can grab your lunch, eat it on the porch, and people watch as folks do their shopping and businessing in Downtown Fondren. Basil's does not offer coffee, but they're conveniently right between La Brioche and Sneaky Beans so you've got really excellent options for where to grab a cup before you head to Basil's for lunch. My dream lunch? Grab a coffee at Sneaky Beans, a salad or panini at Basil's, and dessert at La Brioche! read more

The old location was actually open for business. The food was good, and had seating. I wouldn't know how to review this location since it may or may not be open for a few hours for lunch (they've always been closed when I go there). It's basically a broom-closet with no seating. What am I supposed to do, order a pizza and eat it in my car? They might as well install a drive-thru. Nope. read more

gave this place a try bc i had fond memories of it from college. great location, decent food, workers could have better attitudes - were very rushed taking my order but then the guy behind the counter happily comes out to pet a dog? also didn't bring my food out to me but instead put it in a to go box and a bag so it was cold. you should not be fussing about taking a customers order just bc it's close to closing time in front of the customer. disgusting qnd rude. read more

Their own flavor pizzas are great. Try the state street or the "904". This is great food. Reasonable price. Seating is first come first served outside on the patio and in the terrace. If you are in fondren, there are lots of great restaurants in this area. read more

Hard to find, but the Panini is excellent. Drive to this address and you will see Roosters in a blue building. Park on top of the 2-story parking garage behind Roosters. Go up the steps into the building. Basil's is the last shop inside on the right, before the exit to the sidewalk. Alternatively, you could come in from the front side walk. However, there are probably no empty parking spaces near there. read more

Basil's is always such a treat! I always get a soup and salad. Their tomato basil soup is fantastic, I highly recommend. They have a selection of beers and sandwiches as well. They don't stay open very long but other than that they are wonderful. read more

I'm not an adventurous person at all, I'm the world's pickiest eater. However, I have been trying to find something that would match the grinders in NY and CT... Saw Basil's on the Waitr app...

I ate the Turkey Panini and the Chess Square for a late lunch!! They both were very tasty. I told the owner Michael he should name the Chess Bars; Holly Jesus or OMG. They are exceptional. Super lunch and great owner! read more

Love this place. Everything I've had here is good. I usually get the chicken pasta salad ($8) which comes with a bed of lettuce, some veggies, a sliced fresh chicken breast and a scoop of their pasta salad and a slice of grilled bread. It's so fresh and delicious esp with the balsamic. I usually have them add a deviled egg on as well. The paninis (avg $6) are equally good - we favor the turkey with romas, olive salad and fresh mozz. The ham and gouda is great, too. I imagine they all are but I can't break away from my favorites. Their fresh bread is the key. They also do a whole panini that serves 4-6 hungry people for $24.95 - that's a great deal and a great option for casual parties or tailgating. For the price, this is a keeper - freshly prepared, great tasting food at an affordable price. read more
