Started in 1981, The Picnic Basket Restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Libertyville has been a cornerstone of the town (surrounding Lake County, Illinois and the Greater Chicago Area) for generations. We serve a wide variety of gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts and pride ourselves on the most fresh, delicious and healthy lunch. Food is prepared to order with care, quickly and conveniently. All food is available for dine in or for carry-out. We offer delivery when you order online through our website. Our soups and specials change daily. Our daily specials are fun and exciting ways for us and you to try new things. We have a vegetarian special that changes weekly. Every day we offer at least one broth and one cream soup. Of those one will always be vegetarian.
