I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Picnic Basket Restaurant and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. This place truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best sandwich shops in the area.
First and foremost, the sandwiches here are not your ordinary sandwiches. Each one is carefully crafted with fresh and high-quality ingredients, making them stand out from the rest. I had the BLT and it was hands down one of the best I have ever had. The bacon was perfectly crispy and the lettuce and tomato were incredibly fresh. But what really caught my attention was the option to upgrade to the BLT Marathon, which comes with a whopping 26 pieces of bacon! As a bacon lover, I was tempted to try it and I might just have to on my next visit.
Aside from the amazing sandwiches, the atmosphere at The Picnic Basket is cozy and inviting. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The service was also top-notch, with my order coming out quickly and accurately.
What sets The Picnic Basket apart from other sandwich shops in the area is their attention to detail and commitment to quality. You can tell that they take pride in their food and truly care about their customers' satisfaction.
Overall, I give The Picnic Basket Restaurant a well-deserved 5 stars. From the delicious sandwiches to the fantastic service, everything about this place exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend stopping by and trying one of their unique and mouth-watering sandwiches. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Visit this place anytime I'm in the area now. Very good food, with some unique options and great sides. I like the warm sandwiches and soup. I have had great service consistently and that's what matters the most to me.

Great place to eat!!! We stopped here after a trip to Holy Hill to see the fall leaves from the tower. The subs we had were great! They offer gluten free bread for all the sandwiches!! We also HAD to have a huge Rice Krispie treat and that was super yummy! They offer deli sides such as pasta salad, coleslaw and kettle chips. I would recommend stopping and trying it out. They also offer curbside pick up if you order online! I can’t forget to mention the service was amazing too! Everyone there was super nice!

I stopped by today to pick up lunch on my way home. The woman who helped me was so nice and the staff all had a great attitude. Very friendly service and the food was delicious! I will have to make this a more frequent stop when I am in the area. Thank you for a great experience and amazing food!
Michelle and Anne were so helpful! Me and my Fiance went in to place our catering order and they were both so attentive and patient as we sorted out the details. They went out of their way to make sure the order was accurate and helped us with our special dietary needs for our GF and vegan friends. Thru it all they were very friendly and genuinely excited to help us with the food for our wedding. Thank you!!

I stopped in with my sister at high noon, the place couldn't be busier. We were seated within minutes and waited on promptly. I got a "hot" sub but my turkey was barely warm. The bread is so soft and FRESH! I had a side choice with my sandwich, my sister did not. I got pasta salad and it was EXCELLENT, I would stop for takeout on this item alone! My sister's sandwich came with a half a handful of potato chips. I feel like for the price of these subs a side should be offered for all, my sister added on a pasta salad. The sodas come in plastic bottles with a cup of ice if you choose to use it. Our waitress Laura was very friendly and attentive. There is street parking if you're lucky enough to get it and ample parking around the corner. The street is very busy so be careful, this is right off the highway.

Good food and reasonable price. The sandwiches were big and filling. Nice local place for a quick meal. Seems like a very popular place, as there were a lot of people stopping in to pickup big catering orders. I got the bada bing and really liked it. I’d like to try one of the hot subs next time.
Love stopping at the Picnic Basket for a quick lunch. It’s so much better than just stopping at a chain sub shop - they are fresh, high quality, and delicious. Just got to try their BLT, and they do not mess around on the bacon portions!! Highly recommend trying the fresh squeezed lemonades this summer!

First time trying out this wonderful little diner today. Our waitress was right, we will be back! Found this place because of a much -liked- answer on a “Milwaukee foodie” page… so I was expecting great sandwiches (it delivered. Both of our sandwiches were great, and also enormous. It tasted like all the ingredients had been just cut. very fresh… and bursting out of the bread). What I couldn’t have expected was to taste a flavor that I have been missing for about a decade. The “cucumber salad“ is exactly like something that I used to park myself in front of at every family potluck. I am so glad our waitress decided that we needed to try all three available sides. They were all fantastic, but I found my go-to in the future.
We got there right about noon and, while the takeout business seem to be hopping, there was still room for us to sit down in their not overly large dining area. The service was quick (along with friendly) and people ate their meals and hustled out fairly quickly, so the eight tables they have available (& 2 outside) seem like they are actually enough to keep people from having to wait if they want to eat in.
My partner asked about unsweetened tea, and we were told “just brewed a fresh pot this morning.“ That is a very good sign. I also overheard her talking about fresh lemonade that I will definitely have to try next time… Along with more cucumber salad!
