For many years, our competition has only offered a limited menu of basic items with quick service. We have never been satisfied with just the basic items. Instead, we have served a variety of menu items. We cook every meal to order. We take pride in our satisfying, quick breakfast menu, a meal which has always been at a premium for people on the run. Our dinner menu offers you the flexibility of a fine dining experience, with choices of soup or salad and choice of mashed potatoes, fries or rice at a much lower price. We have always listened to our customers; when you asked us to serve breakfast all day, we changed. Here at Yellow Basket we think our home-style menu combines a wider variety of menu items and affordable pricing that beats any other "quick-service" restaurant hands down!
