“Basic” has a different connotation for the founders of Basic Burger, a positive one. It means getting back to basics with simple, high-quality ingredients. For instance, the kitchen uses fresh 100% Angus beef, organic dairy, and cage-free chicken without any added hormones or antibiotics. These foundational ingredients are integral to the “basic” burgers and other scrumptious sandwiches.

If you’re craving a classic, stick with the Basic cheeseburger featuring a third-pound of Angus beef, artfully seared and then topped with American cheese, fresh lettuce and tomato, rings of red onion, and the house-made Basic sauce on a freshly toasted brioche bun. Prefer poultry? The honey barbecue chicken sandwich starts with a crispy breast of buttermilk ranch-marinated chicken, to which the chef adds bacon, pepper jack, and house-made honey barbecue sauce. Veggie burgers, hot dogs, crispy fries, and onion rings are a few of the other options on the menu, along with milkshakes crafted using organic milk. Sip on the cookies and cream shake or nibble on a candy-flecked cookie when you need an afternoon pick-me-up.
