We are regulars here and we love the breakfast and coffee. We frequently come here to see our favorite waiter Brian he is VERY attentive and always checks on us and gets everything we need. Brian wasn't here today! We always come see him on Thursday and it's very sad for him not to be here when we normally see him. We hope that he will be here next Thursday so we can catch up. The reason we come here so frequently is the service and it's sad to say, but if Brian and Margo aren't there we might end up having to go to black bear as a replacement. They always make us feel so special and have memorized our order at this point. The personal experience is what make Yellow Basket so good, so we hope to be seeing him soon. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot between SB & Temecula. From entering the restaurant you are greeted with friendly smiling faces, to the cleanliness of the dining area with decorative areas according the season. Our food is always delicious- I order from the senior menu / french toast & 1 egg)). The service is VERY good as you will not be without a full cup of coffee - ever. The staff walk around to check on you. As we sit and enjoy our breakfast, you will find elderly patrons enjoying each other's common visits & friendships built, this brought a smile to me. I would highly recommend this restaurant & it's closely located off the 215 freeway. read more

One of the BEST diners in the IE! I've been to Yellow Basket for years, I've tried their burgers, breakfasts, and sandwiches, everything is delicious. I recently came in with my Mom for a nice brunch after a doctor's appointment nearby. I ordered a chili cheese omelette with hash browns and a bottle of orange juice. The omelette was hearty and large, I had a great meal. My meal also came with a couple of slices of wheat toast and butter. Our service was great, we had a friendly, older lady take our order and bring it out to us. She was very polite and brought our food out quickly. The other staff were also quite nice, the dining room was kept clean and we were checked on. Coffee was consistently refilled. Over time, we spotted several individuals popping in for a Friday brunch. It's nice to see Menifee rally around this diner gem! read more

Service was fast and friendly. Staffy was also welcoming, and showed attention to customers. The restaurant was very clean and orderly well lighted and comfortable seating. Now, We had the Pastrami on a roll sandwich, It was absolutely horrible, so much so we had a few bites and tossed it in the garbage. Long chewy pieces of brisket that tasted like it was frozen, thawed, in a microwave and tossed on a griddle. The bun was completely soggy that it literally fell apart after the first bite. no taste at all and just plain bad. Please, if this is normel, do customers a favor and take it off of the menu. read more

This place is such a classic burger spot. The service is above and beyond. They have lots of cool decor and a simple clean traditional layout. The burgers have great flavor and the fries are damn near perfect. read more

Yellow Basket is off the 215fwy off the Newport exit located on the corner of Haun Rd. & Newport Rd. by Texas Roadhouse. Staff I've encountered lately has been amazing. I've tried plenty of their menu items such as their 'Burgers, Breakfast, Pastrami, Salads, Sandwiches, and Asada Burrito'. I've loved it all, EXCEPT their Asada Burrito, which is flavorless filled with too many beans, rice, guac and barely any meat. The restaurant is clean and organized, always decorated, depending on the season. It's always a good meal, but I will stay away from any 'Mexican style' menu items. read more

Austin (cashier / reception) was super friendly and competent, in that he clarified customers' orders down to the special details with a smile (there was a small line ahead of me). While briefly waiting to order, I perused the YB brand merchandise display: t-shirts, mugs. I also watched the chefs' working as a team in the kitchen. Amazing. My lunch was delivered by Brian to my table on the wonderful PATIO (mild weather). I was solo out there. The entire establishment was super clean, organized and the staff made me feel like a VIP - even Lucera - who came to check on me, brought me more coffee, cleared my table so I could get a little paperwork done basking in a mellow, patio vibe. Thank you, YB. read more

Stopped by Yellow Basket. It's a classic hamburger stand with big portions at reasonable prices. The burger-fries were fresh, and everything came out quick. It's just your simple no frills burger joint. I just wish they had garden/veggie burgers on the menu. read more

When I moved to the area about 3.5 years ago, the YB was a place to get good portion for a good price. However, pricing has gotten out of control. Especially compared to what is given. My firdt angst was when they raised the price of the breakfast burrito when egg prices went up. Ok. Prices went up for eggs and there was a sign that said once egg prices were down, the price of the burritos with eggs would go back down. That did not happen. Now the burritos with eggs are excessively overpriced for no reason. What drove me to a review today. I was going to fet a breakfast meal, but decided on a sandwich. I ordered the pastrami sandwich. Which BTW, isn't listed with a price in the drive through menu. I dont drink pop so I just wanted the sandwich and the small sized onion rings. These two items came to $26 and change. I was like wait, what?!?! When I asked at the window the sandwich itself comes to $18.22. With the small onion rings $26. $8 dollars for a single order of onion rings!! WHAT! NO. I Ended up just getting the pastrami sandwich since I was in the drive through line. The sandwich DOES NOT look like the one pictured. They put it on a long roll type bread. The bread isn't grilled and crunchy like you'd expect. Would have taken just a few more moments to do so. There is a decent amount of pastrami, but definitely not nearly $18 worth. I'm so disappointed in how jacked up their prices are compared to products size and preparation. Just another resturant I will add to my never ever again list. read more

I'm conflicted about this establishment. The owner and manager are both genuinely pleasant and professional, and I appreciated their hospitality. However, the restaurant has a noticeable and unpleasant odor, and much of the equipment appears to be coated in grease. This may contribute to the overall decline in food quality, which was unfortunately quite poor during my visit.It's difficult to understand how the business continues to operate at this standard, though it may be sustained by long‑time neighborhood patrons who are accustomed to it and supportive of the staff. I sincerely hope the issues are addressed, as the people running the place seem committed -- but based on the food quality alone, it currently falls short. read more

I love cheddar cheese on a patty melt. Thank you YB... wish you had a combo with fries for $10.00

Drove through and ordered food and was helped by Julian. He was extremely helpful and went above and beyond his job. This was my first time at this location, and I am grateful for Julians kindness and suggestions. He should be recognized for being an asset. Bravo read more

I've never been to this restaurant before, but my boyfriend recommended it. He's never been here either. We've been wanting to go for a couple of days so we decided to go ahead and check it out. I ended up getting the grilled cheese with french fries and he got a cheeseburger, a cheeseburger with fries 10 out of 10 delicious level and 10 out of 10 ambience kind staff would love to eat here again. read more

Every time I'm in the area, I say I'm going to visit and I finally did last weekend and oh...my...goodness! First of all, it is so cute inside, very clean and the employees were so nice, friendly and polite. I ordered a patty melt and onion rings with ranch dressing and a Coke. I asked the cashier if they make their ranch dressing (I am a ranch dressing snob) and he said that they do and that it is very good. I have to say, it is the best ranch dressing I have EVER had...way better than any chain or fancy restaurant. I dipped the absolutely perfect onions rings in it. Heaven. I almost asked if I could purchase some to take home. Next time. Come to think of it, the onion rings are the best I have ever had. Super crispy, crunchy and hot...super fresh. Wow. The patty melt was very good...not perfect and to be honest I have had better but still very good. I had to get one of their cookies and was a little disappointed that it was pre-packaged and not fresh but oh...my...goodness, one of the best cookies I have ever had. My mom also got a patty melt so 2 patty melts, onion rings, 1 soda and 1 cookie all for just under $16.00 so, prices are pretty typical for these days. Honestly, I can't wait to go back...the menu is huge and there are so many options that looked delicious but...that ranch! read more

Staff friendly. Silverware NEEDS REPLACEMENT. Customer next to me requested plasticware. Could not pickup food with the dull fork and knife would not cut my sandwich. Patty Melt is misleading. The cheddar cheese was cold, sandwich came apart. Rye bread was the ends of the loaf, about half a beef patty. NO BUENO. Who puts cheddar cheese on a patty melt? Swiss Cheese people!!!!! I would have been better off ordering a cheeseburger. read more

Great food. I had a breakfast burrito with bacon, egg and cheese, has browns on the side. The eggs were fluffy, the bacon was crisp and the hash browns were crispy but soft inside. Great price, great service. The food was prepared quickly. I forgot to take a picture! My sisters had the #3 breakfast special and the ham and cheeses senior omelet. Yum, yum, yum!. read more

First time at yellow basket. Place inside is very enormous., plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal. I ordered mine to go. The lady who took my order was very friendly and provided good ideas, knowing I was a first timer. Fries are really delicious and you get a lot for your order and the burger is pretty big and delicious. I will be back soon to try something else. Thanks. read more

We went to meet family and started off with a cup of coffee while waiting. There was no Splenda, only the pink one that causes cancer. They said they got rid of the blue sugar too. So I had mine with just the milk and it was awful. Probably an old pot. And to think coffee is close to $4.00 a cup. Plus, my husband wanted a refill and they never came back until after I went up to the front to ask. But the salad was good. I just wouldn't recommend their coffee. read more

Overpriced and disappointing! I ordered a salad for $17, and it honestly wasn't worth more than $3. The only reason I went through with the order was because I was stuck in the drive-thru. The salad was bland, barely had any toppings (I only got one cucumber slice!), and definitely not worth the price. Save your money -- this place is way too expensive for what you get. read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but this one deserves it. Every time I go through the Yellow Basket drive-through, the payment screen automatically jumps straight to the tip screen and you have to hit "skip" just to finish paying. It's awkward and uncomfortable. Today I decided to pay cash to avoid that whole situation, but after paying, the cashier actually asked if I wanted my change. The total was already close to $15 for a burger and fries, which is pretty steep, and now I'm being asked if I want my change back? I told her she could keep it, and she replied with a sarcastic "thank you" in a rude tone. Between the high prices, the pushy tip prompts, and the attitude, this place has really gone downhill. read more

We were able to get 4 cheeseburger, and 4 fries for $53. The burgers were pretty good, the fries could be more seasoned. They fries were very bland, next time I'll say well done, they were too soft and plain for my liking. Needs so sort of season salt. read more

Excellent food and hospitality! Had errands to run and we always been a fan of Yellow Basket's pastrami sandwich. Great place to stop.

Man I love the burgers from here and the zucchini fries are my absolute favorite! I always get the bacon avocado cheeseburger and zucchini with ranch for dipping. The texture of the zucchini is so good, it's like a cornmeal breading that makes them nice a crispy. When i can manage to stray from my favorite I love their huge pastrami sandwich also, definitely a shareable size. The menu is pretty big and they have a variety of different types of food from breakfast to Mexican to fried chicken. It's typical diner type decor inside but they have a drive thru for convenience also. The cashiers are always friendly and it's a fastraunt type situation where you order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. Man I'm craving the zucchini now. read more

Went looking in my area for breakfast burritos a couple months back. Was surprised Yellow Basket had them and they were pretty good...except the price. $14.69. They were kinda big so going forward my wife and I split one. We both really liked the chorizo. That only lasted a couple more times. The burrito got a little smaller and instead of chorizo we got actual sausage like breakfast sausage links. Figured maybe a mix up. Then this last time same thing except it was like a seasoned hamburger concoction and as the lady was handing it out the drive thru window she was kinda laughing. Definitely felt like something was up as I drove away. Also the hash browns inside were barely cooked. Not waiting for a third strike especially at almost $15 for a breakfast burrito. I'm done with them. read more

Ordered my usual bean and rice burrito with cheese and something tasted off. I eventually figured out that it was the rice. I don't have any idea what they put in the rice but I know it shouldn't taste like this. Since when is rice SWEET?!? Anyways the restaurant has definitely made a questionable turn over the last few years. I used to enjoy the food now the quality of the food is declining (too bad the prices are not) read more

I ate there today and wanted a waffle and orange juice. They don't sell waffles and all they had to drink was soda or hot chocolate. I ended up getting pancakes I asked eggs for soft scramble they came hard. Pancakes were like leather and when they brought my hot chocolate the server had her thumb over the drink spout on the cup. Horrible experience. I spent $15 on pancakes (eggs, flour, sugar, milk) on something I didn't eat. How can you mess up pancakes? It was rough. Horrible food!!!!! read more

A simple review for a simple burger and fries. Reminds me of the times I had burgers near the lake. Burger was juicy with a nice toasted bun. I don't really like the exterior of their fries. But it goes well with their ranch. read more

Double cheeseburger with bacon was super rubbery and looked like someone stomped on it. Fried zucchini is decent, but came room temperature. The cost of food versus what you receive is not worth it.

Yellow Basket is my absolute favorite it's truly amazing all the workers are excellent at their job and always very helpful one of our servers Brian is one of our favorites he always checks on us makes sure we have what we need But we have to talk about the manager Margo, she is the most wonderful women, she is very attentive always making sure our coffees are full, very professional knows her job and the menu. my granddaughter just loves her to death and calls her her "friend", I really think Margo goes out of her way every time we are there to make sure we have everything that we need and our experience is perfect. we go there almost everyday and the food is amazing, cooks make such wonderful stuff. it's such a great time with great service it's a must go to and if you go make sure to ask for the manager Margo, she will make sure that you have everything you need. Go out of her way to make sure all the customers have what they satisfied, it's literally a time to remember and makes you automatically want to return there again and again it's our favorite go to spot! so glad I found the place read more

I have a soft spot for Yellow Basket because we would eat at a location in Torrance that was on the same street where my aunt lived. Lots of fond memories from my childhood. Imagine how excited I was when we drove by this location. We stopped in for a late dinner. They were cleaning up but still friendly and welcoming. I had been feeling like a burger so this my was my opportunity. I like my burgers thin so I ordered a Jr. burger as is, so it came with thousand island, lettuce, tomato, and onions. It was really good and hit the spot. The fries were fresh and delicious. The restaurant itself was fairly clean and the staff were helpful. read more

I had come here once before a few months ago and I didn't like the burgers at all. I just had a hankering for some chili cheese fries and some zucchini's so I thought I'd come here and get them. I have to say, I'm very disappointed. The chili cheese fries were very expensive and not very good. The fries were old, stale and cold. They weren't seasoned at all. All the flavor came from the chili. There was hardly any cheese at all! The zucchini fries weren't the best but not too bad. They weren't soggy which was good, but they're definitely not what you're looking for when ordering fried zucchini's from a burger joint. The lady at the drive-thru window was super nice, though. She had great energy and was mega polite. She was the best part of my whole experience there. Unfortunately, due to the not so good food and the prices, I won't be coming back here. I already got burned twice. There won't be a third. read more
