It looks like a tiny hole in the wall from the outside, but it's a local legend inside. Best burgers you'll get this side of Memphis, and friendliest staff you could ask for at a walk up order place. You absolutely should go there if you're craving a good burger, they'll cook it exactly how you like it, burnt for my dad and bleeding for me. read more

Great little burger joint on the north side of Brownsville! Must be a local favorite as the place was packed with eat-in and to-go patrons. They are for sure Big UT fans with memorabilia everywhere making it a down home atmosphere. Sweet lady taking orders was so nice. Had the cheeseburger and curly fries and my buddy had the bologna sandwich. Great handmade burger patty with all the fixings and a thick cut slice of bologna grilled to perfection. read more

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"! read more

We have visited The Basket a couple times...and Yes! Their hamburgers are Delicious! But tonight we tried the grilled chicken salad and it was Fantastic! Great toppings, fresh crispy lettuce, and flavorful grilled chicken with ranch! We also shared a grilled chicken baked potato...Wow! Delicious and so big! They are really busy and the wait was about 20 minutes but they were filling drive up /called in orders as well. I did notice that many locals called in their order before dining in...what a cool solution to a long wait! The decor is adorable with local flavor and plenty of booths and big tables for bigger groups. read more

The food never dissipates me I love the basket but wish they be opens on weekends at least Saturday

The hamburger and fries were delicious one of the best burgers I have ever had in my life. The service was great everyone was friendly. The ambiance was relaxed and had a number of different posters and paintings. It's a must stop if your in the area. read more

Great service and great Philly cheese steak . Stopped here randomly on the way to Nashville. Would go there again.

The food is always prepared fresh and cooked to order. The burgers are large and juicy. Lots of choices are available if you're not in the mood for burgers and fries. Steak, fish, and hotdogs and many other choices fill the menu. Staff is friendly and usually quick. read more

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! read more

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.

Excellent food . My missus says they have Keto as well. Grilled catfish is one of my favorites. read more

I walked in this place about 1:45 pm on Friday. Open tall garbage can filled to the top greeted me as Zi entered. Ordered two burgers and tea. Lady said it would be 45 minutes! Are u kidding??? Looked like plenty of staff. Maybe eight people behind counter working. Really??? Took my business elsewhere. read more

Well, we were excited to try the basket, as we have heard good things from our friends about their food. We went tonight to give them a try and they were packed, usually a good sign that you are going to get good food. While waiting in line, I talked to a nice gentleman about ordering and he also told me that the food was good. After waiting in line for 20 minutes, we made it so that we could place our order. I ordered the bite sized shrimp plate with a baked potato and a salad, and my wife ordered the chicken strip salad with corn fritters. After ordering, they told us it would be about 45 minutes. We said ok, since we knew the food would be awesome! An hour went by and people who had come in after us and ordered had gotten their food, eaten, and left and we still hadn't had our name called. I had just gotten up to go check on our food when they called our name. We were almost the only ones left in the place, so I almost think they lost our order, but finally that awesome food was here! I brought the food back to the table and quickly tasted a shrimp to be completely disappointed. These were food service shrimp that have more batter than shrimp. The potato was good, but it is hare to screw up a potato. My salad was ok, but the dressing, blue cheese, left a lot to be desired. My wife's salad was fair, the dressing, thousand island, was less than desirable and the corn fritters weren't that great. So, either we have been lied to, the quality of the food has gone down hill, there is food on the menu that needs to be removed, so that you order food that tastes good, or you need to try somewhere that actually has good food to know what it tastes like, because this is not good at all! It was a waste of almost two hours! read more

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. read more

The Basket - Counter - Burgers Near Me - Brownsville, Tennessee

Best burgers in TN in my opinion. Drive thru is usually lined across side of street Very busy, but staff is friendly and fast. Food is cooked to order, so if you want fast food....call ahead. We prefer to talk to each other or our friends. They have a wide variety, from burgers, catfish, steaks, and so many sandwiches to choose from. Desserts are homemade. We eat there at least once a week. read more

We are from Memphis but happened to be in town and did a quick yelp search for good restaurants. We stumbled across this restaurant and the food was so amazing and so fresh. They customized our burgers the way we wanted them with no hesitation. The burgers are way bigger than they look like in the photographs and the prices are very fair. We only wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. Mozzarella sticks were awesome. read more

I can only speak for the burger basket (bacon), hot wing basket & onion rings+French fries & they were HEAVENLY (Like I'm pretty sure the burger is the manna that fell from heaven). However the French fries have no seasoning or anything special.. they're just French fries & same goes for the onion rings. But this is the second time coming with my family & we love it! We drive one hour to get here (from Collierville). Also y'all should call about 30-40 minutes early for dinner because they're soooo busy (which is one downfall but who blames everyone else they're the best & the pricing makes it even better). Just remember good things come to those who wait (A full belly). P.S. 1. bathrooms were very clean & pretty 2. Shout out to the staff that was non stop hustling & bustling to get all the orders in! (It was already closing time & they were still taking orders) read more

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

Love love love this place . The best burger I've ever eaten, Mushroom Swiss Burger . They are now served on sour dough rolls, YUM YUM! They also have the best hard working and sweet people there! Especially Brooklyn. My only negative on this place is the time they close. 8pm but I understand, they work hard. read more

Amazing food!! The service is always friendly, kinda slow getting food out! But still highly recommend

Very quick service and big burger. My husband and I shared a Jalapeño Cheese burger and a small loaded cheese fries. (I would have hated to see the large! This SMALL was NOT small). Honestly, I've had better burgers. But maybe we just have a different expectation of our burgers in Texas. It was still a very good Cheeseburger and had good, thick meat nicely loaded w all the trimmings. Now, the "loaded" fries were NOT good. Plain fries would have been better since the LOADED weren't that at all. I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying this place out. Especially since the staff was so friendly and accommodating. And, I'm ALWAYS happy to try out the local eateries where the town's people go! read more

The Basket - Long line and lots of choices! Friendly counter help. - Burgers Near Me - Brownsville, Tennessee

Best burger in Tennessee. Friendly staff and clean atmosphere. They may be about a dollar or two more than most fast food chains but it will be the best couple of dollars you spent in a while! read more

This is my 3rd time here. My bacon club toaster sandwich & my loaded fries were delicious. I have to stop by here when I'm in the area. Friendly & Professional Staff read more

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!

It hurts my heart to give this review. I live 45 minutes from this location and had never been to Brownsville. I saw this place featured in local magazines and hear say and I have been so excited to finally visit this place. We used it as a date night. We had never been there before so we were unsure if we should sit first or order at the counter. No one said anything to us for 5 minutes. The employees weren't very friendly. Finally we ordered and I got a patty melt. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. I also tried a bite of a burger and it still wasn't that great. I had such high expectations for it and it just didn't meet them. read more

This place is my absolutely favorite place to dine at. The food is fabulous and the employees are radiant! I usually always order the same thing but the cheeseburgers, you can't find goof burgers like that. We're in a small town with the best burger/baked potatoes on this side of Tennesse. if you're every in Brownsville or just passing by. Stop and try them out. You will not be disappointed. read more

I've eaten here twice now, and I must say I have yet to be disappointed!! The inside is small, but comfortable. And can get a little noisy during the busier dinner times. They have pretty much ANYTHING you can think of when It comes to a burger place. (The menu is rather large, and though some might think it's sloverwhelming) The food is excellent in my opinion, the staff is friendly, and the HUGE cup you get for a drink is amazing!! I can't wait to go back and try something else!! read more

The bomb! Loved the staff everything I've tried on the menu was great! I'd return anytime! You won't be disappointed...

I love the food and service at this restaurant. There are so many wonderful dishes to choose. The best burger place in Brownsville.

Very good burger joint, both at this location and in Bells. Easily deserves a 5 star ranking

The eclectic decor gives you something to look at as you wait ( only a short time) for the best burger you have ever ever eaten. Lots of food for the price and the homemade desserts that Angie makes are mouth watering. We live in south Jackson and it's very worth the 25 minute drive for the most awesome burger experience. Tell Ron that Sherry sent you read more

Brother and I had cheeseburgers, I had single, He had double. Very tasty. Liked the crinkle fries and hush puppies too. Also, good sweet tea. read more

The hush puppies are soooo good. The corn nuggets are tasty too. Our burgers, the Chuckwagon and the cheeseburger were okay. Better than drive thru burgers. All in all tasty and the staff is friendly read more

The Burger Basket has some of the best food in Brownsville. Their appetizers, mainly the fried mushrooms, are fantastic, and their burgers are mouth watering. They also have a large selection of other menu choices, including catfish and chicken as well as soups and salads. But, let's face it, the name of the place is Burger Basket and for very good reason. The Mushroom Swiss burger is to die for, and the bacon cheeseburger is just...wow! read more

Hey hey hey looks like I am the first reviewer for this place and I can honestly say I don't expect it and I kinda did. This place is off the beaten path for most people traveling down I 40 the only reason I knew about it was I was doing some work in the area as a fellow coworker suggested it. This place did not have much curb appeal but I really don't look for curb appeal when I'm hungry I just want some good food. Well to say that I got good food was an understatement I was served the most delicious burger in the hole in the entire Megaverse. These hamburgers are so large juicy and flavorful I almost would classify them in a separate food group called the fabulicious food group . Not to mention they had fried Twinkies but now since Twinkies pretty much no longer exists they might be using an off brand and on another note yes not very healthy but yet again when did Burgers and Fries meet the diet plan for the athletic? I can honestly say is about 20 minutes off of I 40 and well worth the trip if you're traveling in either direction I do believe you can get there I recollect exit 56. I hope you all can enjoy this delicious meal as much as I did . Have a good one and happy munching read more
