The Collosul Burger 10.95 is Large and delicious a Double cheeseburger with a handful of tender pastrami lettuce ,tomato,and onion so good.The chili fries are exceptionally good somewhat alittle spicy the large is enough for atleast 2 - 4 persons
My biggest regret was not going with the Pastrami omelette because where else would you go for something like that. Regardless I did the Yellow Basket omelette and got a healthy dose of pork, peppers and onions. It kept me moving and on to the next part of my journey. The hot peppers were free and came in little baggies which I found to be a nice touch. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our incessant requests to use the bathroom. The key has a bell on it alerting the restaurant your bowels are in need of a release. I just hope they sanitize that bell.
After 47 years since I left for the Army. I put Yellow Basket on my bucket list when I visit California. I must say it has changed, for the better and the food hasn’t changed. The employee are great and the atmosphere in good. I’m glad to come back and thanks everyone.
The food is so good! and also they are not greedy with the french fries! never complained about the food or service!
Use to drive by the old location and wanted to check it out before the pandemic. For my family and my first time here was great.I heard they have pretty good biscuits & gravy/breakfast.Treated a friend to a biscuits & gravy breakfast and he enjoyed it as much as I did.Wifey got their fried chicken dinner simply from seeing another patron eating theirs.Our daughter had their pancakes breakfast with bacon and eggs.The place is clean, organized, service is great, plenty of parking, drive thru for your convenience.I've been to many all American fast food restaurants and Yellow Basket is an exceptional one to visit and enjoy the many items on their menu.I'd love to come back and try more items, their zucchini sticks looked pretty amazing so I'm sure to be back soon.

My husband got the Asada plate and I got the Quesadilla plate. Delicious! Plus we had to pair it up with Horchata and Orange bang. Nice and clean inside and nice remodel.
Update. The picture is the Pastrami sandwich and small fries.The service is very good.I just come here for the "World Famous Pastrami Sandwich" and a side order of small fries.I'm glad they survived the COVID-19 lockdown.
