bacon bros public house

greatfoodand menu. my wife is a picky eater and she liked it to. i have had the brisket hamburgers and veggies
all are great. the only reason we don't go more is the prices. lots of locals

one of the most incredible meals i’ve had in years. the vibe is relaxed but upscale bbq house, with great service, a first-rate cocktail menu (plus craft beer & wine), and thefoodis just mind-blowing. i’ve never had better brisket, homemade sauces, or sides (the bacon baked beans and onion rings were incredible on their own). but the standout overall: potater tots for an app, which are housemade tots with pork shoulder folded in, topped with crispy fried pig ear garnish, bbq sauce & scallions. it was seriously one of the best things i’ve ever tasted, and i’m not a huge carnivore (and generally avoid stuff like pig ears). my friend and i were both blown away by the whole experience, and decided that we needed t-shirt’s to commemorate the night. all the stars to these guys!

thefoodwas delicious. our waiter was very friendly and helpful. the atmosphere was very inviting. i would recommend this place to anyone. we will definitely be back again.

so i went for my first visit to bacon bros as suggested by my co-workers and at best i have a mixed review. first things first, thefoodwas good, if a bit overpriced, but i am ok paying for a good meal. the burger was cooked medium well by default and i was not asked how i would like it. this doesn't bother me, but be aware if you like your burger cooked more you may want to mention such. the bacon was delicious, as was the burger, the real problem here was the service.

being a lunch break i obviously had limited time, fortunately traffic was on my side and i got there quick, this is where my luck would end. 5 minutes after sitting down the manager (i can only assume) took my drink order because the waitress had yet to come by my table. mind you they had 2 waitresses on staff and only 4 other tables (3 of which were pairs). 10 minutes after receiving my drink (a $7 beer) my waitress appears. no small talk, no mention of any specials, just wanted to take my order. i asked about grilling the onions on the burger and she said they could do that. so i asked for lettuce tomato and grilled onions, with a side of fries; but this is not what i would get.

the kitchen was quick to make the burger which would have been great, if thefooddid not sit on the counter because again my waitress is nowhere to be found. the manager notices about 5 minutes later and brings my food, minus any lettuce or tomato or the fries i ordered with the meal. i mention the fries because at this point i'm rushed for time and it's not worth the wait to take the burger back.

again thefoodwas delicious, the fries were salted lightly, the burger was great and i am in no way disappointed with that aspect of this trip. after finishing my meal i watched as another table had to flag down their waitress just to get more ketchup, so it's not just me at this point. it takes me another 10 minutes of waiting just to get my waitress to bring my bill.

you have 1 of 2 problems here. either you have a poor wait staff, or you are under staffing for your needs. i believe it is the former. this could have easily been a 4 or 5 star review, but no matter how good yourfoodis, if the service sucks, so does your restaurant.

for what it’s worth my co-workers insist this is a fluke, and that i should try again, but i think i might just pass on giving this place a second chance as other reviews as of late show their service is going downhill.

before writing this review i took the time to try and find some contact info on the website (there is only the general number) and their facebook page doesn’t exists. i hope that someone at this company reads over these reviews so they can get their restaurant back on track.

thefoodand service are always excellent. my favorite is the bet (pork belly pastrami and duck egg) sandwich is deelish. my husband had the smoke fried half chicken and it was smokey and tender.

mike. everything is over salted. drinks are very strange and over priced. really dont get the confusing concept.foodis mediocre at best.

holy smokes.. there is something strange about greenville.. you see these all of these wonderful establishments in strip mall type areas, they are rarely restaurants in their own building-- where i come from that is a warning sign. i guess it is just how they roll in sc.

this place is absolutely incredible. numerous delicious cheeses, their house saltines are great- thefoodis top quality. i recommend the corned beef & sauerkraut reuben with a side of jalapeno cornbread.

top notch. everything from the service to thefoodis outstanding. i have been there 5 times and have not had anything bad. if you plan to go on a weekend night be prepared for at least an hour wait.

thefoodat bacon bros is what i’d call farm-to-table, southern-inspired gastrofare–it’s comforting and hearty, and, sure, they’ve got the southern standards covered, but their urbanized approach has upped the ante. pimento cheese?

yum. absolutely love this place. we take all of our company from out of town here. friend from detroit asked how quickly could he move here after having their shrimp n grits. friends from bermuda went insane over the bacon jam on the pimento cheese. yum!!!

love this place...atmosphere, staff andfoodare all excellent

impressed. been to bbph twice recently and left impressed withfoodand service. will definitely go again,

amazing!.foodwas fantastic,service was fantastic and atmosphere was fantastic! will definitely be going back!

had high expectations due to where the chef came from. the menu is eccelctic and local. the wine selection was more than limited. thefoodwas extremely dense but no flavor profile.
would not return unfortunately.

ok, but not great. had lunch at bbph. nice crowd, only fair service. thefoodwas not a problem but not the best. it is way overpriced for the value. stick to a good bbq restaurant for smoked meats and a good dive for beer.

californnia natives & world travelers. absolutely worth the experience. if you dine in the south, eat southern cuisine. this is a menu &foodworth the time. the wait staff is wonderful & the management interested in making sure the experience is worthy of their investment. if you want to really be adventurous try the tater tots stuffed with cheese & bacon accompanied by fried pig's ears (similar to chicharones).
