There is a reason that the Picnic Basket is always busy during the lunch hour: the food is absolutely delicious. Freshly prepared, made to order, unique and tasty, the soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts at the store are just terrific. The pumpkin soup in the fall is not to be missed! I have also used The Picnic Basket to cater a fund-raising event, and was very pleased with the high quality of the food, the professional, friendly and efficient service, as well as the price. If you want a mouth-watering lunch or dinner, or need delectable appetizers for an event, be sure to call The Picnic Basket!

First time in since they reopened and what a difference- much more space and ordering is easier to understand if you have never been in. Sandwiches cannot be beat; the sizes are generous and you will not walk away hungry!
I have attended events where they have catered and the food was excellent- very fresh, quality food that was well seasoned. Great asset to have in town!
