THE Place to be on Wednesday Nights<br /> <br /> Live entertainment by the "Trivia" Guinness World Record holder. How they landed such professional talent is beyond me. He, like myself, must love the down home, laid back atmosphere. Reservations accepted, but not required, but probably a pretty good idea as folks from neighboring counties and states, for that matter, come out especially for the low-key trivia fun.<br /> <br /> The food is great, too! Place is well-known for its peppercorn steaks. They're thick and delicious! Menu also includes a lot of noodle dishes, sandwiches, seafood, and salads. There's no pizza, no hot dogs, no nachos.<br /> <br /> Food pricing is reasonable, mostly anywhere from $5.95 - $16.95. They do a booming "to-go" business from the main hospital across the street. They're open for lunch, too, with daily specials.<br /> <br /> Has a side room specifically for the nonsmokers. Has a small bar counter which houses the local every-dayers and the bartender's group. I wish the bar had a larger seating area.<br /> Clientele is pretty diverse. You'd feel safe in this place. The waitresses are really keen on everything that's going on, and make interesting conversation.<br /> <br /> Though the restaurant is family-friendly, meaning many folks bring their kids in with them to eat, but I'm not sure they have a kids' menu.<br /> <br /> But for a cold beer in a safe, relaxed atmosphere, and some good food, fun, and fellowship, you'll feel right at home at Basil's!<br /> <br /> Oh yea, here's their phone# : (864) 583-5989. See you there!<br />
