Some of the best food in town with good, friendly service. They have a good variety of menu items and I've never had anything I didn't like

This is a perfect cheeseburger!

I'm from Texas and have a history of good hamburgers. I don't say that to be precocious but to let you know I know a Great Hamburger and this place has them! I was attentively waited on within seconds of entering The Basket. The restaurant is rustic and awesome! Makes me miss my old home state. Back to the hamburger. Take a look at the picture...it's perfect! I will most definitely be back! This place is now in my "favorites"!

My wife took the first bite and said, "Oh my God...."

So my wife and I have been reading for quite some time (years, really) about how The Basket has THE best burgers in Tennessee. Best burgers in Tennessee? Seriously? Well, we made the drive up from Arlington, TN, on a very bleak and rainy day. The weather was horrendous. Torrential downpours. It left me with just a slight chip on my shoulder. Best burgers? I'm sure they're going to be good, but the BEST? Doubtful. Yeah...well besides eating crow, I got to enjoy a burger that was so good....SO GOOD...that I find myself quoting Barney Stinson from "How I met your mother." Barney ate a burger once that was so life changing he said, and I quote, "This burger is so good that I want to go home and sew my ass shut!" Crass? Maybe, but TRUE! Holy Hell! That had to be one of the best burgers I've had the pleasure of eating in the state of Tennessee or the state of Texas! You will NOT be disappointed if you make the drive to The Basket to try their burgers. I swear!

Some magazine says they have the best burger in TN. Well, I'm not sure, I can't say they don't. Not sure I've had a better one. Pretty damn good. Place is strange. Couldn't tell if it was open or closed till trying the door, very non descript. The burger was great. PS, DO NOT get the double, way too much. I'll be back, thanks for a great burger.

See all

The burger was awesome. I highly recommend it. I enjoyed the small town atmosphere. I got the double and it was massive.

Food is good overall. Steaks have been pretty fatty low quality cuts. But the burgers and sides have been good.

Ordered a large Shrimp salad. It came and looked like a small side salad. Very disappointed. The grilled shrimp were good though.

Good food , service is a bit slow but I think that is due to them being understaffed , Either way highly recommended

You can't go wrong with the expansive menu and low prices at this West Tennessee staple - voted the best burger in the state!
