Reviews for Fresh Basil Cafe in Saugatuck, MI
My husband and I and our 2 kids came here for dinner and although the menu looks healthy and good options, the QUALITY IS... EXTREMELY LOW! The chicken was like rubber pieces and definitely microwaved, not cooked on a stove or grill. Texture did noteven look like chicken. Same with the salmon- very fishy, texture did not even look like salmon, and seemed to be cooked in amicrowave- maybe that?s how they get food out so fast. Quinoa was not edible. We took a few bites and all threw our food away-wasted $50. The next morning, 3 OUT OF 4 OF US WERE VOMITING WITH STOMACH PAINS. Not a safe place to eat and I knew it whileeating there so we threw it away. The owner even asked me when I went inside to throw food away how our meal was and I nicelyand hesitantly told her ?actually not good? and explained our experience. She just said ?oh well I like it.? My husband and Iare owners in the food industry and we would do everything we could to have our customers leave as satisfied as possible- shedefinitely did not care. BE SAFE AND DO NOT EAT HERE.

The panini I had was nothing short of amazing. Fresh mozzarella and spinach, sun dried tomatoes, ham, crisp bread... Hmmmm.... Service was a bit on the slow side but worth the wait. Read more
Really great food, a nice variety to choose from. Inside and outside seating, and reasonable prices! Their bacon royale is super... tasty Read more
We had two large pizzas for take out and they were very good. The service was fast and the full menu looked delicious
This place deserves more credit in the area- the whole time I was in Saugatuck people crowded at the neighboring spot instead.... All the shops on this block have the same walk-up order and similar menu items but I liked Fresh Basil the best. I believe Italked to the owner who was super friendly and asked about our vacation. It's fresh and a perfect spot for a light lunch ordelicious sandwich. Read more
Tasty fresh food, huge menu, helpful and friendly staff! Everything I?ve had here is fabulous! TIP?> it?s so nice when... restaurants work with your food limitations. The gyro meat was delicious!! Read more
It was really busy when we were there. We were able to snag a table and food was out in under 10 minutes despite it being... packed. We both got paninis and our friends go a pizza and a panini. The paninis were not over cooked so they were nice andcrispy and they have a lot of varieties to pick from. We had the Havana Night and the Albacore. The pizza had pepperoni,onion, banana pepper with red sauce and cheese. It was overall a really nice experience. Expect to pay about $30 for twopeople and drinks. It was one of the only places open on a Monday during lunch that had a good variety. If you're looking fora quick bite, I would definitely suggest this place. Read more
Drove all the way from St Joe to meet my daughter from Grand rapids there at 4pm and they were closed! Thankfully next door the... Boardwalk cafe was open and there food was awesome! Definitely will go back to the Boardwalk next time we meet in Saugatuck! Read more
