Food was great, service was great, wait time still a little long. Been there twice and sat in the exact same spot both times weird

Go for the biscuits, they're great. We had ours with the fresh strawberry jam, and there were no regrets. But the kids' meal came with a measly single slice of bacon. And for breakfast, the food was pretty standard; it felt overpriced. We called ahead and put ourselves on the waitlist, and I'm glad we did. It was an hour wait when we walked up, but because we called ahead, we were seated immediately. Our server was attentive and kind. It's a busy place with a big menu and good food. If you are looking for a breakfast treat, then I would say go for it. But if you're more of a steady diner type, somewhere more affordable might be a better fit. read more

Came to the Biscuit Basket after being told Saucin' It Up Chicken was having kitchen problems. On a Saturday afternoon, this place was still poppin' and we ended up waiting an additional 20 min for a table. The inside is spacious with tall ceilings and huge industrial fans overhead. The room is split into two parts (I think they took over the business next door and converted it to more tables). With all this square footage, they really crammed a lot of tables together. I felt like some center tables were bumped right next to another. The SO and I ordered: - Millionaire bacon burger sub fries for onion rings - the burger was good, but the onion rings were top-tier. - Cobb salad - SO said there were some weird pieces of lettuce and he couldn't finish it all. - Side of biscuits w gravy - the biscuits were just... fine? Not fluffy, but a little buttery. I wasn't wowed by it. The gravy had a good peppery taste, but also wasn't my personal favorite. We were sat at a teeny tiny table where a condiment basket took up like 20% of the room. It definitely forced us to make some Tetris moves when our food and water were all on the table. Eventually, the SO knocked his water over and spilled it all over. Either get bigger tables or make the condiment basket smaller, can't have both. Service was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, the SO and I were good to try this once. If your onion rings stood out more than the biscuits, should probably change the name to the Onion Ring Basket (or Condiment Basket) :P read more

Friendly but busy service. Good food, could be improved. Biscuits were as good as expected. Salad was sad sad iceberg lettuce and dressing could be improved. Also prices were pretty high even for senior plates ($15.99- egg, toast/biscuit, meat). Cobb salad $18.99 (full) half $15.99- iceberg 99%, as mentioned above was largest disappointment. Bacon was pretty good, full slices were cut up. Coffee was excellent $3.99 - Clayton coffee. Very good body and no sour. Orange juice $8.99 L size. Pretty pricey and really too sweet- too much sugar. Home fries $5.99 for a side - or else I would have ordered it, looked very well made. Fruit $5.99 for a cup read more

First time trying this place that I've heard coworkers have recommended me to try. Came here on a Saturday morning and the place was busy and had a 15 minute wait. We asked the waitress her recommendations and she suggests their biscuit (2 for $6.99) and green chilaquiles which is a Mexican style breakfast. So the biscuit- it was okay and there were a lot of jellies and jams provided. I usually get biscuits for free in other restaurants so I don't think it was worth paying for it. Nothing special. 3 stars The Green chilaquiles- we decided to share a plate, added avocado. Item was $17.99, $2.25 added for splitting a plate... and $2 for avocado. Not sure how I feel about adding a charge for sharing a plate. Breakfast was fine. I'd probably go for a traditional American breakfast in the future. So for me, it was a 3 star. Now that I've tried this place, I don't think I will be a regular customer since the wait isn't worth it for a local breakfast place. read more

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted right away--definitely recommend getting there early. We sat at the counter bar, were greeted again, and had our drink order taken promptly. The coffee was on point. I asked for a recommendation and went with the chicken fried steak breakfast, and the homestyle potatoes were delicious. Thank you, we'll definitely be driving from Fresno to visit again definitely 5 star place PS the locals were also very friendly and helpful in ordering food..! read more

Let me start by saying, even though you'll see the crowd outside waiting for their table, be patient because the wait is QUICK! They provide water outside on a cute little cart while you wait! The inside of the restaurant seems very intimate and homey in the aspect of you having breakfast at someone's grandma's house. Very fitting for the theme! Down to the uniforms, I loved the style and simple decor the establishment was pushing. Their homemade biscuits and strawberry jam are truly the star dish here. Biscuits come out fresh, warm, fluffy, with a light crisp on the outside. The jam is sweetened to the perfect amount, you can truly tell there are no artificial flavors in this jam! Same with the cinnamon bun, you can taste the freshness and with the best gooey center. I'd say the only real disappointing dish was the billionaires bacon, in my personal opinion I would have liked more seasoning/spice/black pepper added to enhance the flavor. Same with the spicy chicken sandwich, there was zero spice present. Still a delicious sandwich although, just not the spice level I was expecting. But if you're someone who's sensitive to spices or different flavor profiles, you'll be fine trying either of those dishes. Solely my own opinion, I was expecting more from them. Nonetheless, I will absolutely be coming back to get another round of biscuits and to explore the menu more! read more

I actually enjoyed this place. The food was delicious & we had really fast service. It was super busy and we got a table for two right away.

The Biscuit Basket is small and very busy -- so definitely be prepared to wait! That said, they do such a thoughtful job taking care of guests while you wait. The complimentary coffee out front is such a nice touch and instantly sets the tone. We walked in with a party of 8 while visiting, fully expecting a long wait (they told us up to 50 minutes), but we were pleasantly surprised and seated in about 20 minutes instead! Huge win. Our server was great -- helpful, patient, and super friendly. Once seated, the food came out pretty quickly too. I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were delicious -- the chips stayed crunchy (not soggy at all!), and the green sauce had just the right kick. My vanilla latte was also pretty delicious. My niece ordered the breakfast burrito and gave it a 10/10, literally excited with every bite. My husband really enjoyed his country fried steak with biscuit and gravy. The only miss for our table was the cinnamon roll -- my nephew felt the texture was a bit off. Now we totally get why this place is always packed. When a spot is this busy all the time, you know the food is good. Definitely worth the wait -- we'd absolutely come back! read more

We had been wanting to visit for awhile, but every time we stopped by there was a wait - get there early especially on weekends! So we stopped in on a random weekday off and OMG... this spot is amazing!! We never have found it if it wasn't for Yelp since it's not in an area I'd ever think to visit for breakfast. First and foremost, the service is so friendly. There are staff literally everywhere constantly circling and helping and checking in. And it's also FAST! Our food came out in what seemed like only a few minutes. We got the fancy bacon, biscuits and gravy, a cowboy omelette, and a cinnamon roll: The cinnamon roll is the second best cinnamon roll I've ever had!!! (Hard to beat Moss Rose in Oakdale) It's huge and comes out warm with a huge amount of not-too-sweet frosting. Plenty to share between two people. The biscuits are the best I've ever had! Super flakey, buttery, and smothered in delicious sausage gravy. I went with the a la carte side option of 2 biscuits and gravy but they do have a biscuit plate that also includes eggs and sides. My boyfriend got the omelette and it filled the plate - it also included SO many home fry potatoes that were incredible. They weren't crispy but were super flavorful and buttery. We got the billionaire bacon as a starter and that was the only thing that left us underwhelmed. For $15, you get 4 slices of bacon. Yes, it's thicker bacon and the flavors are good, but I wish it had been crispier and was a little more flavorful. (My dad used to make a similar recipe baked in the oven so my comparison is to that) There was lots of seating inside, a mixture of booths and tabletops and even seats at the bar looking towards the kitchen. Not a lot of seating to wait but I'm pretty sure they text you when your table is ready so it's easy to wait in your car right there. If there's a line, don't let it deter you! It's worth the wait! read more

Hey, you can't beat the friendliness of the staff and the nice atmosphere here. Very crowded but they still maintain a relaxed decorum. My toast was not toasted enough, and I asked for crispy potatoes and didn't get them. They were on the soft side which I don't care for. The Joe's Special, however, was very good. Loaded with mushrooms. My wife enjoyed her ham and eggs. She said that the ham was very good. Her toast was also under toasted. read more

We were in Modesto looking for a good breakfast spot came across The Biscuit Basket. It was about a 25-35 min wait on a busy Saturday morning, but we didn't mind waiting. Once finally seated the place was super cute and I loved their plaid uniforms. Our waiter Adrian was super helpful he suggested the passion fruit mimosa it was really good. I ordered the chicken fried steak and my husband ordered the Cali cowboy omelette. The chicken fried steak was delicious and the biscuit was something I must try again. My husband enjoyed omelette but said the tri tip lacked seasoning. Overall I would suggest giving them a try and definitely get a biscuit! read more

This easily could have been a 5* Breakfast but a couple of errors caused the score to drop. We spent the night in Modesto after a show at the Gallo. First thing in the morning, of course, we needed breakfast! The ratings and comments at The Biscuit Basket made it a no brainer! It was amazing to see people waiting in front of the restaurant in an industrial area on a Saturday morning. We stepped in and put in our name, about a 30-to-35-minute wait. We had to check the timing. It was a 54-minute drive to pick up our dog from the kennel by noon, or we'd have to pay extra. It was going to be close but barring any traffic problems, we'd make it with about 30 minutes to spare. There was a cart outside of the restaurant with a self-service coffee urn, cups, lids, sugar and creamer. I got myself a 1/2-cup just to hold me over. We took the time to stroll around the building and that took up about 15 minutes. It was closer to 40 minutes before I received a phone call letting me know that our table was ready. That's a convenient system. Not having to worry about hearing your name being called is convenient. We walked in, announced our name and were taken to a booth. Menus were presented. We were asked if we'd like to start with drinks while we looked at the menu. I asked for a glass of Ice Water and she got a glass of Milk. Those came right away, and we place our breakfast orders after asking a couple of questions. I don't believe that our server ever told us his name but the name on our receipt is Adrian. He was friendly and personable throughout our interactions. She ordered Sausage and Eggs over Easy, Home Fries, Biscuit and Jam with a side of Billionaire Bacon. What was delivered was Sausage, Billionaire Bacon, Home Fries, Biscuit, Butter and Jam. She was quite happy with her food and was unable to finish everything. I ordered Chicken Fried Steak, Home Fries, Eggs over Easy and a Biscuit. I had no problem finishing my food plus a slice of her Billionaire Bacon. I found the Steak to be salty. It wasn't the gravy because I tasted that by itself. The biscuit was good but could have been fluffier. The food runner (it was not Adrian) who brought our food quickly called out our food and put our orders down and left. We then sat there and wondered how we were supposed to eat our breakfast without set-ups plus my wife was missing her Eggs. We caught the eye of another server who appeared to be working quite quickly and efficiently. She was young, blond and had her hair up in a small bun. We told her that we were missing the Eggs. She apologized and asked how we wanted them prepared. We told her and asked for a couple of set-ups as well. She brought us the set-ups and told us the Eggs would be out shortly. And then she delivered them. Later, Adrian came by to check on us and told us that he heard about the Egg error. It good that the team communicates so minor errors can be avoided on future orders. Overall, Adrian did a good job taking care of us except for the lack of set-ups. The food runner announced our food but was gone so quickly, he didn't even notice that we now had food with no set-ups. I also wonder if he compared the order to the ticket or was just announcing what was on the plates. Speed is important but so is attention to detail. The young lady who took care of the Eggs and set-ups for us was the Star of the Day. Watching her work was a pleasure as she interacted with numerous customers, always with a smile on her face. read more

The BB is a fine place to stop in Modesto for breakfast, with a few caveats. Located in the heart of dealership row, one might not expect to find any sort of restaurant, let alone a breakfast/lunch spot but it's there! Their namesakes are tall and fluffy with just the right crunch of the crust. The CFS was wicked tender and barely needed the knife at all. My eggs on the eggs benny were poached perfectly. Service was prompt and personable and the food came up timely, especially considering the place was packed with wait-times around 45 minutes. But hey, on a beautiful Saturday, that's not really to be helped. Like I said, a few warts on the whole experience: not a ton of waiting space indoors which is where my party elected to wait as we were trying to keep an eye on the counter for two seats together as it is first come first served. My biggest gripe? It's loud as hell inside. If you are someone who is prone to overstimulation, maybe try this place out during their slower days (if they have them). Also, they turn those tables over quickly so this isn't a spot to have a chill, relaxing breakfast. On a busy day, you will wait longer than it takes you to eat breakfast, which I just don't love. If I came back, it would be to swing by for some biscuits to go. And not on the middle of a Saturday. read more

As we were making plans to meet for lunch, my friend suggested The Biscuit Basket. I had heard about it from several other friends so the decision was made. We met recently on a Thursday morning at 11:15 and the place was packed with people consistently streaming through the door. Spring break may have contributed to the amount of patrons, however, I've heard it is a popular restaurant. They have expanded relatively recently so larger parties can be accommodated in the adjacent room. We were pleasantly greeted, asked for a name and cell number and informed we would receive a text when a table was ready. We waited maybe fiveish minutes and were ushered to a four top nearby. Our beverage orders were quickly taken and received. Our server appeared to see if we had questions. Since it was my first visit, I needed a couple of minutes to decide. I ordered the Signature Hash with corned beef (tri tip is also offered), no green bell peppers, two perfectly poached eggs and a biscuit. My friend selected the same with OM eggs. We began to catch up on life and before long our meals appeared. One of the cooks delivered them and he made certain we had what we needed. My friend requested some of their special strawberry jam and it was quickly served. We both tucked in and were delighted with the perfect seasoning and delicious taste of everything we ordered. My eggs were perfectly poached! We both took half of our hash home and I had ordered a cinnamon roll to go. My husband is a pushover for fresh cinnamon rolls! As we left, I thanked the owner and assured him we would be returning with several different groupings of family and friends! A fun fact, the sourdough bread is supplied by MatKat Sourdough in Oakdale where I happen to live. One caveat, if you are seeking a quiet, subdued atmosphere head elsewhere. The vibe is pleasant and lively, the service very attentive and the food is worth waiting for, if necessary. read more

Stopped for brunch and we were ever pleased. There is a lot of seating, however there are a lot of people so you do have to wait. But it's so worth it. The restaurant is nice and clean. Typical breakfast/brunch spot. We ordered French toast, biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, and kid's breakfast. Everything tastes fresher. My French toast was cooked to perfection and fluffy. And they gave me 3 giant slices. The biscuit and gravy was my favorite. The biscuit was not dry, crispy on the bottom, gravy was flavorful with plenty of sausage in every bite. Probably one of my top 3 places for biscuits and gravy. It's a definite must try! Chicken and waffles were excellent. The waffle wasn't too thick (which I prefer) and chicken was not dry. Prices were fair for the portion size. All in all I would recommend for a nice breakfast/brunch. read more

I ordered the Cowboy Benedict at Biscuit Basket and it's the kind of dish that reminds you why breakfast spots matter. The biscuits are the foundation here. Warm, sturdy, and soft enough to soak up gravy without collapsing. That balance is hard to get right and they do. On top, the chorizo brings just enough spice to wake everything up without hijacking the plate. The poached eggs are cooked properly. Set whites, yolks still rich and flowing, which matters when you're dealing with a dish this hearty. The gravy ties it together. Creamy, peppered, not overly thick, and not salty. It complements the biscuit instead of smothering it. Every bite feels intentional. Nothing is there just to look good. What stood out most was restraint. This could easily be heavy or sloppy. It isn't. It's filling, comforting, and well-executed. If you're new to Biscuit Basket, this is the dish to order. It tells you exactly what they're good at without trying too hard. read more

Found this place by chance and man am I glad I did. Ate here twice now. Once with my wife looking for a place to grab a quick brunch and since it was so good we decided to bring our kids back the next day. We came across this place in an unorthodox area. There's really not much to the place, just like an average restaurant spot, nothing really stood out decor wise. It seemed busy but we were actually sat right away, realizing once we sat down that the employees were on it, moving fast to take orders and deliver food. All the employees were nice and helpful and our order was taken quick, and the food came out in a good amount of time. Everything we ordered came out fresh and tasted great! This is our new breakfast/brunch spot for sure! read more

I was visiting my mom in the middle of the week and decided to stop by The Biscuit Basket for lunch on a random Wednesday. I was surprised to find the place pretty busy. It seems like they have a lot of regulars, which is always a good sign and made me feel like I'd stumbled upon a great local spot. The restaurant has a cozy, traditional diner feel but still feels modern. It's probably the mix of vintage-style prints on the wall that all look brand new lol. Every table had fresh flowers which was such a cute touch! All the servers were also wearing red checkered button-ups which definitely added to the charm and vibe of the place. It was my sister's and my first time here, and our server was super helpful with recommendations. Service was friendly and efficient without feeling rushed. Also, parking was super easy with lots of spots right out front. Food-wise, we tried the Traditional Benedict and it was solid. The ham was thick-cut and juicy, not dry at all. The whole thing was filling and hearty. The onion rings were fried in a light batter so it wasn't overly greasy. The billionaire bacon was sooo good (and I usually don't like billionaire bacon)! It had crispy edges, fresh cracked pepper on top, and just the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Not overly sweet like some candied bacon I've had in the past. Definitely planning to come back to try more of the menu! read more

This review is for my experience on Feb 1st. I came in for brunch and was greeted by multiple friendly staff. Had to wait about an hour for a table but it was so worth it. While you wait, they do have a self serve water & coffee station outside, so I thought that was excellent customer service right there. The man that took our order was friendly and gave us his recommendations. The young boy who brought our food was very friendly and had a big smile on his face. I could tell he was happy doing what he does, I believe his name was Ezequiel. When I asked him about two plates he brought out to the people at the table behind us, he very politely told me what they were and said for us to come back and try it. I definitely will! All the food looks delicious, and certainly was delicious! With the perfect amount served too. I never would have imagined chilaquiles would be good at a business with this name, but to my surprise, they were very flavorful. I cannot wait to be in the Modesto area again to stop here for breakfast or brunch again! read more
