BACON is my favorite breakfast spot in Boise. I’ve never liked paying for breakfast food. It’s all so simple and easy to prepare. Other diners are all pretty much the same but Bacon steps it up.Who knew you could make Bacon better than bacon? BACON did. I’ve had nearly everything on the menu and it’s all been great.On my shortlist of Boise favorites.

While I was in line waiting to place my order I watched the woman delivering the food from the kitchen to the customers table wipe her runny nose with her bare hand and proceeded to pick up multiple entrees to deliver. Didn’t wash her hands! Didn’t even use hand sanitizer!When she delivered our food she almost dropped the bacon on the floor, but caught the one piece with her hand. Because she saw that we saw (and our disgusted faces) she went to the kitchen and got ONE piece of new bacon, almost dropped it again, and picked up the original with her bare hand off our plate to dump the “new” one in its place.When another worker was cleaning up a table, she refilled the water carafes with the old water cups. She carried the coffee/tea/other drinks to the kitchen, just the water was poured back into the water carafes and placed on the table to use again.DISGUSTING!On top of all the that, the food was mediocre, edible. The steel cut oats were extremely dried out and tasted like cardboard.We should have asked for a refund, but just ate around the offending items because I was so hungry I was getting lightheaded.Just because it’s a “trendy” place, doesn’t mean it’s high quality. Do better Bacon Boise!

For our third Father Daughter monthly breakfast, we hit up Bacon in dntn Boise about 9:15 am on a Tuesday morning. Located at the corner of 9th & Idaho, the restaurant is nicely laid out and has a wonderful courtyard for warm weather outdoor dining. A little different set up that raised some questions. As you enter you are directed to the back kitchen area counter to order. Menu boards are available and the gal taking our order was great. However, it feels like a fast food setup versus a sit down breakfast restaurant and you end up paying and tipping for service before you sit down. Thankfully, our servers were polite and terrific.I order the Benny Hill eggs Benedict while my daughter took on the Boise omelette. Both plates came with an over abundance of seasoned potatoes. While tasty the amount of potatoes overwhelmed the egg dishes in our opinions. Maybe add some fruit instead of soo much potatoes? The eggs Benedict and bacon were good but the biscuit on the bottom was overcooked and hard.Overall service gets a 5 and the food gets a 3.5 with a great patio for warm weather breakfast!

I'd go 3.5 stars if I could. Great concept, super great staff but the food wasn't mind blowing. I got the Shrimp and grits - grits were a little runny but the bacon was great. The poached egg was done in a pod - which felt strange for a restaurant. My friend said I HAD to get the Mac and cheese - and I see why - it was incredible. Their espresso was a little sour - so not my fav. There was no wait on a rainy Saturday morning - and the atmosphere was great! Can't say enough about how sweat the staff was - I felt like I was in the south. Counter service

Bacon holds up to its name. The bacon themed options range from breakfast to lunch. Selections are rich tasting and offer flavors to appeal to many types of foodies. We had the new Jackson burrito with avocado and the Ham and Bacon sandwich with fries and puppies. The chilli dust on the fries is a must try. A breakfast margarita and raspberry mimosa hit the were perfect companions to our meal.Service was good. We enjoyed the "I love Bacon" shirts and want one of our own.Parking: Parking is metered and isn't always readily available in front so you may have to circle the block looking for one or park in the paid parking garage across the street.

I came in with three colleagues for lunch and the food was good just like any other fast food chain. Got my food quickly and the server was very friendly will come back again.

Maple bacon cinnamon roll, which is why I chose to come here today sadly it's not what I was hoping for. The roll is a bit too firm for me. I like a soft cinnamon roll. Don't get me wrong it is good but not what I wanted sadly. As you get to the center it's more what I expect for exterior softness and is better for sure. The hostess/waitress is very friendly and helpful. My main dish (country fried bacon steak) sadly had more burnt flavor than any other flavor they may have added to it. The steak itself is tender and good but the breading is burnt and falls right off. The potatoes and ocra are good enough and the eggs were (sadly) the star of the show. Perfectly cooked eggs are hard to do and they did it. Overall sadly I wouldn't choose to come here again but it is something other people may like. It's a gamble with bacon at restaurants sometimes they under cook sometimes over and occasionally perfect. I had hopes for perfection based on the name but it fell short. The order at the counter and then be seated is odd for a breakfast spot but does work. The option for outdoor seating is fun and the various tables don't all match which is odd for a fancier place.

I was intrigued by the menu and impressed by the appearance of most of the food. However, I was very disappointed in the flavors and textures of my meal. I had the Arkansas with coffee and a side of grits. I know grits well. These grits had the texture and flavor of raw flour. I rarely get grits cooked properly in the western US, so this experience wasn't too surprising. The gravy was quite bad. Again, the texture and flavor of raw flour and too much grease that wasn't incorporated into a roux. Lastly the batter on the chicken fillet was very thick and just too much batter for this dish. $28 was my total with tip. I left extremely disappointed. Employees were very polite and hard working.
