Believe the hype—The Burger Baskit delivers! I can totally see why they were named Tennessee’s Best Burger! The burgers were not only delicious but massive—come hungry, y’all. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. As first-timers, we felt so welcomed. The staff were super kind and helped us navigate the menu like pros. You could tell they love what they do—and we loved every second of it. Already dreaming about our next visit. Do yourself a favor and make the trip!

On 5/2/2025 Jeffrey Telomen had this to say:
Love the vibes, the staff was great, and the food was excellent. I had the bacon double cheeseburger with an egg and mushrooms added. My wife had a plain double bacon cheeseburger, and our kid got the fish strip basket. We each got one of the different flavors of milkshakes: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. The milkshakes tasted like old fashioned milkshakes.
