Fresh Basil Cafe — Restaurant in Saugatuck

My husband and I and our 2 kids came here for dinner and although the menu looks healthy and good options, the QUALITY IS EXTREMELY LOW! The chicken was like rubber pieces and definitely microwaved, not cooked on a stove or grill. Texture did not even look like chicken. Same with the salmon- very fishy, texture did not even look like salmon, and seemed to be cooked in a microwave- maybe that’s how they get food out so fast. Quinoa was not edible. We took a few bites and all threw our food away- wasted $50. The next morning, 3 OUT OF 4 OF US WERE VOMITING WITH STOMACH PAINS. Not a safe place to eat and I knew it while eating there so we threw it away. The owner even asked me when I went inside to throw food away how our meal was and I nicely and hesitantly told her “actually not good” and explained our experience. She just said “oh well I like it.” My husband and I are owners in the food industry and we would do everything we could to have our customers leave as satisfied as possible- she definitely did not care. BE SAFE AND DO...

We had spent a day at the beach in Holland. We looked online for a vegan meal and didn't find much that was still open. Fresh Basil Cafe was kind of close and they were open later than most places. We drove to Saugatuck, not knowing anything about the town, and absolutely loved it there. Very cool town, hopping place, with lots of restaurants and shops. Beautiful area.

The Vegan Wrap (basically a falafel wrap) was excellent. We eat a lot of falafel and this was pretty good stuff. The kids got a Chicken Ontario Panini, and Lobster Roll. The panini was, "amazing", and my other child enjoyed his lobster roll. The only thing I didn't care for was they had bottle water and no regular free option. Not a fan when places...

It was really busy when we were there. We were able to snag a table and food was out in under 10 minutes despite it being packed.

We both got paninis and our friends go a pizza and a panini. The paninis were not over cooked so they were nice and crispy and they have a lot of varieties to pick from. We had the Havana Night and the Albacore. The pizza had pepperoni, onion, banana pepper with red sauce and cheese. It was overall a really nice experience. Expect to pay about $30 for two people and drinks.

It was one of the only places open on a Monday during lunch that had a good variety.

If you're looking for a quick bite, I would definitely...
