    I first reviewed Bacon about three years ago, and recently had the chance to visit again. One of the highlights of this visit was meeting the owner. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely took the time to connect with guests. I was dining with my daughter, who uses a wheelchair, and his warmth and attentiveness made us feel especially comfortable and appreciated. The restaurant still has the lively atmosphere and unique service style that makes it stand out. The staff was friendly, and the overall experience was enjoyable. As for the food, I was a little disappointed with the beignets this time around. They were much doughier than I expected and didn't have the light, fluffy texture I was hoping for. It wasn't a deal-breaker, but it was definitely the one item that missed the mark for me. That said, Bacon continues to be a great spot for breakfast and brunch, and the hospitality we experienced during this visit left a lasting impression. Meeting the owner and seeing how much he cares about his guests made this return visit memorable, and I'll certainly be back to try more of the menu.

    Had some family in from out of town this last weekend so I took them to Bacon. They really enjoyed it love the bloody Mary's especially the spicy ones and the food was very good. If I were to change one thing about bacon, it would be the ordering process, but what can you do? It's very popular!

    I stopped by early on Sunday morning because I could not pass on a flight of bacon! Honestly all the food looked good, but I was here for the bacon! The host explained you live up, place your order/pay and are then seated. I did as instructed and was sat at a two top. I loved all the bacon except the " pantry Bacon". Honestly it tasted off, and I did not mention anything to my server as honestly the other flavors were amazing and I was getting full. Next time I visit I will bring a friend and definitely be trying the bacon topped cinnamon rolls as it looked soooo good! The restaurant has ample indoor and outside seating.

    Bacon flights? Say less. If you love bacon then this might be your place. The place lives up to its name and offers different varieties of flavors of bacon, wraps, burgers, and other brunch items. I wasn't a big fan of my burger but my husband lived his wrap. The bacon flight with a burbon coffee, rosemary, sweet, spicy, and regular bacon was a nice sharing item. Place stays busy on a weekend so join the line and try them out.

    First of all, I didn't take enough pictures because the food looked and smelled so good, everyone started eating before I remembered. Bacon & brie sandwich was nice and crunchy with lots of bacon, some tomato, and enough brie to hold everything together. With the tomato soup, it was so nice on a cold morning. Plus, I got an espresso milk punch (like it punches you in the face, but then it wraps itself around you for warm hugs). Daughter had the poutine. Fries, cheese, and eggs, were good, but the gravy! The gravy was so addicting, it was bacony, slightly sweet and buttery. Next time I need to get biscuits and gravy with the punch and it would probably be the ultimate comfort breakfast. Seating is done by the host after ordering, so no one can sit at a table ahead of time, which was nice since it seemed limited for large parties. Ambiance was nice for conversation.

    Slowest ordering process I've ever experienced. For an "order at the register" establishment, they're at 1/3rd speed, (think bad day at the DMV). 1 hour shuffle: fully inside the main room line to register. Suggestion: have a staffer answer menu questions BEFORE they get to the register. About 1/2 tables were empty too, so it's not a capacity control strategy. Shout out to the super kind (and tall) beverage guy, he seems like the hardest guy working here. The decor is a warmly decorated, fun, porcine themed space. Good news: the Food came out pretty quickly and was super tasty. The drip coffee is properly brewed. If you're enjoying a LAZY day with no place to be, this is a worthwhile visit. Just prep yourself for the wait. (Especially if you come with the kids)

    What a phenomenal little brunch spot right in the heart of downtown Boise! I was in town to attend our new Community Ambassador's first-ever Yelp Elite Event at a nearby brewery, and we met up earlier in the day to enjoy a late breakfast (or was it an early lunch). We started with their famous bacon flight (highly recommend!) and I grabbed a bloody mary. Then I dove into my delish order of shrimp 'n grits. It was a huge portion that I couldn't finish, but it was quite tasty with plentiful amounts of grilled shrimp atop warm, gooey grits. Did they use a little too much butter in this dish? Probably! But growing up with a stepmom from the south, I could appreciate it just the same. We sat outside on their beautiful patio, and got wonderful service as we chillaxed on a warm Boise morning. If you're looking for brunch in the Treasure Valley, this place is definitely not to be missed!

    I found this spot as a recommendation from TikTok. Great name! Why wouldn't I try it? I ordered the bacon flight that came with 5 different bacons pieces. They were not marked so I had no idea what flavors I was tasting. I could only guess. The bacon was also lukewarm at best. I also ordered the half grilled cheese that had more ingredients than cheese. It came with tomato soup that was chunky with onions and other unknown ingredients. Definitely don't recommend. Lastly, I'm not a fan of tipping before my meal but I did. The standard 20%. My food was delivered with a carafe of water and that was it. Never saw anyone again. At the very least, I would expect someone to come over and check in. I wanted to see if I could get the bacon identified but I guess I'll never know.

    Love Bacon Boise! I appreciate the walk up and order style so you have the option of leaving whenever you'd like. Service is great and the food is even better. I recommend doing the Bacon Shot appetizer which features a healthy sampling of their different bacon flavors. Everything was cooked and prepared perfectly.

    Benny Hill

    I had the Benny Hill with breakfast potatoes. The food was pretty solid and the restaurant was nice looking, the only complaint I have is the service was just ok (could've been more prompt and friendlier) and the coffee is self-serve which is a bit annoying.

    The cooks sent him this bacon because they said he had the coolest shirt!
    Melissa C.

    This is the best breakfast place in all of Boise! Not only is the food absolutely delicious but the service is top Tier on every single visit. Today when we were in line ordering, the cooks in the back sent my little one a piece of bacon because they loved his Mario shirt! Now I'm convinced this place has the best service in all of Boise too! They really make the visits memorable. We love all of the Pig and Bacon decor of the restaurant too! All around great place for a breakfast stop. Highly recommend ordering the Arkansas Breakfast with the Rosemary Bacon.

    Is bacon forcing guests to wear masks?

    Yes, if you are going to dine at Bacon you must wear a mask. The owner wants to keep staff and patrons safe, masks are just one of the ways to do that. Other safeguards have also been put in place, look for the bacon markers on the floor when you…

From the moment you step inside, the place has that quintessential speakeasy feel. The ambiance is dark, moody, and eclectic, with vintage touches throughout. One feature that really caught my eye was a stunning cove-like structure that added so much character to the space. The menu was just as impressive as the décor -creative, varied, and full of unique cocktails that felt thoughtfully designed rather than your standard bar offerings. They even have a few "secret" drinks hidden on the menu, and the staff will happily tell you how to find them, which is a fun touch.Since another reservation was due to arrive in about 40 minutes, we kept it to two cocktails, which was perfectly fine as we were only stopping in for a nightcap. Both drinks were beautifully crafted. I especially loved The Canvas ,it was bright, refreshing, and memorable. My husband wasn't quite as enthusiastic about his cocktail, though he's generally not one to send a drink back or complain. The staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout our visit.

    I was in town for business, and I had a local friend tell me, "you gotta go in here. You can tell…read morethe bartender what you like flavor wise, and they will make you something even better than you can imagine." And that, my friends, is exactly what happened. I walked in, not sure what to get. The bartender asked me what flavors I like. She went away and made me this epic cocktail. She told me all the things she added, and it was clear, these bartenders are the real deal. They know their stuff. I drank my delightful cocktail way too fast. But it was so damn good. The vibe is fun. They bartenders interact with everyone and do all kinds of cool things with cool ingredients and tell you about it all. Perfect spot for a loungey date night, or a meet up with a friend. There is no food. But plenty of spots on 8th in walking distance. This is probably one of the best cocktail bars I've ever been to. ... and I've been to a lot. :)

    We spotted The Mode Lounge while out exploring downtown Boise…read more We popped in for a cocktail before heading to dinner. We hoped to grab a patio seat but the patio was packed so we went inside. The inside is dark and decorations are interesting. There is a variety of seating such as high tops, comfortable conversation chairs & tables as well as a booth. It has window seating available as well. We were actually the only people inside the lounge except one person at the bar. I soon realized why everyone was sitting outside after we took a seat and ordered cocktails. The music was so loud we could barely hold a conversation. Regardless, our server Nick was great. He was very attentive and constantly checked in with us for drinks. We ordered a Party Girl Mule, the Chili Gringo Mule and a dirty martini. All were delicious. I prefer my martinis colder and a glass filled to the rim. I felt the martini was lacking volume for the price of the martini. The Mode Lounge patio is located right on the walkway so it looked like a great spot for people watching. We didn't hang out too long as we had a difficult time talking with the loud music but we did like the drinks and our server, Nick. We will stop by again but look for outside seating.

I'm so glad we decided to check it out. We arrived and were escorted to the top floor, where we were greeted with beautiful, almost awe-inspiring views of the mountains and the city. The space itself is tiny, with just a couple of couches and a few additional seats. In a way, you're almost forced to interact with the other patron but for us, it was fantastic. We ended up chatting with several people throughout the evening. Some were tourists like us, while others were locals, and it was genuinely fun hearing their stories, learning more about the city, and getting recommendations for things to see and do. We also had some great conversations with the bartender, which made the experience feel especially personal. The cocktail format is unique as well. There isn't a fixed menu. Instead, you tell the bartender what you like, what you're in the mood for, and how adventurous you want to be, and they create something around your preferences. I'm a whiskey drinker and was open to experimenting, so I ended up with an Old Fashioned that had a savory element (soy sauce ) I wasn't entirely sure about at first but it turned out to be surprisingly good. My husband, who's a big mezcal fan, got a cocktail featuring Chartreuse, if I remember correctly, and thoroughly enjoyed his. I believe reservations are limited to 90 minutes, but that was plenty of time for two cocktails each. We left feeling like we'd had a genuinely memorable evening--not just because of the drinks and the views, but because of the conversations and the people we met along the way.Pricing is slightly on the higher side, but that's pretty much what we expected given the setting and the experience and might I add that the alcohol was also top shelf. Definitely one of those places where the experience is as much about the people and atmosphere as it is about the cocktails.
