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.

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.

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

We were traveling through Brownsville and came here because we wanted a fix of classic American…read morefood, but with better quality than fast food. Livingston's Soda Fountain & Grill delivered with a nice side of nostalgia. We started with an appetizer of Cheese Sticks. We then followed that up with some burgers. I got the Livingston's Burger, which was delicious, while my brother got the Ole Tyme Burger. And as if the burgers weren't enough, these burgers were served with a mountain of delicious fresh-cut fries. But the best part of our meal was at the end, when we were convinced to get two milkshakes, one for each of us. And I'm glad we did, as these were the most delicious milkshakes we had in quite a while, and I was sipping on mine all the way back to our hotel. In short, if you find yourselves traveling through Brownsville and have the time for a proper meal, I strongly recommend you take the detour away from the Interstate to stop at Livingston's Soda Fountain & Grill, and don't forget dessert, because it is the best part here. And if we find ourselves traveling through Brownsville around lunch or dinner time again, we will definitely come back to Livingston's Soda Fountain & Grill again.

Such a cute restaurant with great food! We had a wide variety of the menu and we were all very…read morehappy with what we got! Our only disappointment was we were too full to order a shake! The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We came off of I40 to eat here and are so glad we did!
