    Great place for salads and sandwiches. The quality of the food here is worth the price! Everything was fresh and delicious! Roast Beef Sandwich, Ceasar Chicken Wrap and Ceasar Chicken Salad. Broccoli and pasta side salads were very good. We all enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend.

    I really was excited to try this place. The reviews definitely dont match up. Unfortunately there is no Italian meats at all not even salami. The bread was so thick and dry it fell apart as I was eating it. I had the mushroom soup. Worst ever! No mushrooms, it was flour soup just terrible.

    Not a fan! Brought my disabled husband here. 1st time for us both. We were cut in front of, then I order tuna salad. I’m given tuna with pasta. I’m gluten intolerant! When I brought it back I was told I would be charged for regular…apparently tuna i was supposed to ask for REGULAR tuna. I have never had that in any deli. My husband had his sandwich but we will not be back!

    Easily the best sandwich you'll find around. Salads are great as well and the cookies are to die for. The super combo is a fantastic deal and you're guaranteed to leave full. They can be a little short on seating during rushes, but there's a park across the street you can eat at as well.

    Really great place for a sandwich in downtown Libertyville. I had the crab salad sandwich with lettuce and tomatoe. My friend had a turkey sandwich. They where both big sandwiches so go hungry. There are plenty of options. They also have combo deals with a sandwich, soup or salad, chips, and a drink at a decent price. There is free parking available all around The Picnic Basket. Some of the parking will have a 2 hour restriction but there is also a free parking lot a block away. The staff kept the tables clean outside and sanitized during this time. They also wore masks and gloves. No indoor seating all outdoors at this time. The entrance was through the back door.

    We tried Picnic Basket for the first time and bought Super Combo Sandwich with soup. Also, bought cheese quesadilla for kids. The quesadilla size was huge we ended up buying only one for both kids. Was planning to buy their salads and the staff even let us try the flavor since we were having it for the first time. Bought veggie sandwich with Indian lentil soup and it was fresh and delicious. Will visit soon again.

    Get the daily special any day of the week, it's a great value and it won't disappoint. Everything is super tasty, I especially love the soup! Eat inside or go to the park across the street. This is my favorite places to get a fast lunch in Libertyville

    Consistently delicious and accurate orders, what else can I ask for? This local gem of a restaurant is my first choice for well balanced lunch. Staff is friendly and hard working.

    SO. MANY. OPTIONS! I’ve been going to The Picnic Basket for years and am still finding new favorites with each visit (especially with their large variety of salads - So good!!). Friendly staff and fast service.

    The restaurant serves mouthwatering dishes made from high-quality ingredients. The flavors are exceptional, and the presentation is artful. The catering service is equally impressive, offering a delightful array of gourmet options for special events. With top-notch food and attentive service, The Picnic Basket is a true gem for food lovers and event planners alike.

    I come here multiple times a week for lunch and never tire of it. The selection is fantastic and you're guaranteed a fresh, high-quality, fairly-priced meal every single time. The staff all feel like family at this point-lovely folks.

    Delis like this do it right. Came in with a long line and it was way quicker than it would have seemed. Just good sandwiches with good ingredients.

    We booked Gourmet Food Works as our caterer for our wedding. Their food was phenomenal! They were really accommodating for our tasting appointment and let us bring both sets of parents even though they originally said the maximum number of guests was four. At the tasting they allowed us to choose several different entrees, appetizers and desserts to try while also preparing additional “popular” items from the menu as well. We went with a traditional menu and had a served buffet at our wedding, providing chicken, pasta, steak and sides for each guest. Everyone raved about the food. Definitely recommend considering them for your next event.
