As soon as you walk through the main doors of Bassett's Inn, you have one of two options - enter to your right, and you are in a bright, sunny room - anchored by a salad bar full of fresh fixings - with cozy booths and captain's chairs; or enter to your left, and you are in a room of tall stools surrounding tables of "pub" food, wide-screen TVs, and a recessed bar with comfy leather chairs. Whether you turn left or right, you will feel the influence of owner Greg Bassett, proprietor of Bassett Inn. It's the same great restaurant that locals have known for over 46 years, but with two welcoming atmospheres to choose from. With all these options, Bassett Inn never wavers on its excellent service and delectable, affordable of food - some things are never meant to change.
