What HUGE, YUMMY, DELICIOUS sandwiches!! Didn't get guy's name who took our order, but he was patient, as it took me about 5 min to find order I had written, and humorous, as he joked I had until 6:45 to put in my order-it was 3;00 when I started, and all this was done with a smile on his face that was genuine. We order the LARGER of the size sandwiches and they were huge...I was bummed I didn't take a picture until I thought about doing that on my almost last bite and I finished last. The cookies we got were also soft and fresh. If you want a meal for your money JUST order a sandwich!!
Dining at the Picnic Basket is a taste of home. In small town Delafield you cannot find a better mix of service and quality. A consistent, top-notch flavor arrives with each order from customized pizza to the Bomber. You will not regret trying this sandwich shop, because after you do you will find yourself coming back over and over again.
Had the Razorback Pulled Pork from Picnic Basket - Nashotah The bread, as ussual for them, was soft and chewey like it should be. I got without Tomatoe or Lettuce cuz not a big fan of them on Sandwhiches. The pulled pork is moist & yet the Honey Dijon Pepper sauce I think kind of masks the smoked flavor of the pulled pork with it's peppery spice. Which, in the end isn't a bad thing as I did get hints of the smoked pork flavor as the heat subsided. Paired it with their cucumber salad that adds a sweet yet vinegar like taste to add with the spice. Washed down with Sprecher Creme Soda. Based on the little mental A - F scale I use, the sandwhich gets an A. The restaurant has maintained from my time eating there a fairly solid B rating due to their use of Styrofoam. It's just a odd quirk for me to take off points now for Styrofoam products with so many health & eco friendly options out there for clamshell and all other packaging systems. would recommend. Go try it for a more spicy version of pulled pork.
The food, especially the sandwiches, is always exceptional. I'm never disappointed eating here. The staff is very accommodating and kind. I enjoy dining in. It reminds me of a small diner/ mom and pop shop atmosphere.
Outstanding sandwiches and subs Great service Consistent Everything is fresh Easy location
Channel your abusive boyfriend mentality and demand they make you a sandwich because this place is legit! The type of sandwich shop you hope exists near you when buying a house. Huge portions, great ingredients, friendly staff. Khaleesi fire, bourbon chicken, corned beef (with pepper) a few faves but wraps and salads both good. House Italian oil dressing is . Pizza just ok IMO but you didn't come here for that. Tiny seating area so prepare for takeout. Just make sure you got space in the fridge for after cuz you're not finishing in one sitting.
Great first experience at Picnic Basket. I built my own veggie sub sandwich. The staff were so nice and helpful. We got a side with our sub and couldn't decide what to get so they offered to give us sample sizes of each to try so when we come back we know what we would like. I love restaurants like this that just want you to enjoy your order and have a great experience. We did carry out and only waited about 5-10 minutes. The sandwich was so good! It was big and filled with fresh veggies and very fresh bread. I didn't love any of the sides but I preferred the cucumber salad and chips. We also had to get the huge rice crispy which was a great decision. It was clearly homemade with a gooey crispy consistency. The space has great indoor seating and it looks like maybe outdoor seating in the summer. Super easy to pull up and park right out front, they even have pick up parking spots. We will be back!
We love Picnic Basket! Whenever we're in Lake Country we make a stop. The service is excellent, and the sandwiches, sides and Scotcheroos are fantastic. The portion sizes are generous, and the ingredients are high quality. We most recently dined in - we had a quiet table in the corner and great service. In the past we've eaten outside on the little deck, and taken sandwiches to go. Our favorites are the turkey sub, the bada bing, and the blue moon. The jalapeño slaw is a must have, and we always finish with a scotcheroo (and one to take home!).
Picnic Basket is a family favorite! The subs are not only delicious but humongous! Today my fiancé got a rotisserie turkey sub that came out warm. I got the seasonal soup - cheesy bacon potato which was quite good. I have also tried a pizza from here that was very tasty as well! Will be back as always.
