Basil's Chicken was founded in 1986 by the Malliaras family on the belief that people should be able to take their families out to eat a fresh, healthy dinner free of preservatives, msg, and frying.

We order from DoorDash more than I like to admit with varying degrees of success. Sarasota has some fine restaurants but it isnt known as a foodie town.
Basils however is EXCELLENT!
Their grilled chicken is some of the best I've had anywhere in the country. It's always cooked perfectly. Crispy skin, juicy meat & packed with flavor.
And their ribs shockd me. I've tried a dozen places here in SRQ ... so far Basils has topped them all easily. It's fall off the bone tender & perfectly seasoned / sauced.
I'll bet we order from here 5-6 times a month.

Half rack ribs is about 1/4 of a full slab but tender. Chicken kind of dry. Mac n cheese super bland. Taste like canned floorless cheese. Corn on the cob is 1/3 of the cob just for reference. Gravy tastes like turkey stuffing and something sour. Maybe ranch powder? or sour cream? Pita bread so so. Probably won't order again.

OMG. The 2 piece white, mashed potatos & gravy, salad, was the best thing I've eaten in a while. The portions were large and well priced. I will definitely order again.

Never disappointed always great. Chicken is flavorful and not dried out. The Greak salad and dressing is always crispy and fresh.
