Attentive service, good food and a cozy atmosphere! I ordered the lox sandwich with hashbrowns as my side. The hashbrowns were a disappointment. They were limp and didn't have the consistency I so adore in this dish... the perfect crunchy exterior with the right amount of fluff.... the salmon sandwich was a unique take by pairing it with salsa... which actually worked. The 1 poached egg was slightly overdone but other than that the flavors were on point. All in all I would say this establishment is average. If someone wanted to take me here for breakfast I wouldn't put up a fight.. read more

Give it a 3 star instead of a 4 because I walked in 10 minutes after they opened and was notified that they were not ready to open because the chief or cook was late... Hmmmm... Pancakes were overcooked & batter did not seem fresh. Sausage was very good. Very beautiful patio and dining area was very clean. Enjoy looking at the local art all over the walls. read more

Great place for brunch! Wonderful service. Lots of menu options for breakfast (standards, Benedicts, frittatas) and lunch (salads, burgers). This place is like an upscale diner. The food is nicely plated. Not greasy. I ordered the Mickey. It took awhile to get my dish. My entire party of 11 had already eaten and my food still hadn't come out. They said they were still making the hollandaise sauce. When it finally arrived, it was beautiful. Tasted good. I kind of miss the messiness of a Benedict. The hash browns were crisp to perfection but lacked salt. Overall, it was good. I will probably order something different next time. read more

Bacon - Corned beef hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Novato, California

We stopped in here for a weekday breakfast and when we arrived, we were the only ones in the restaurant. We were greeted by Jenny who seated us and gave us our menus. The environment was neutral, not busy but also not super inviting, but we were hungry and ready to see how the food was going to be. I started with the coconut milk latte ($5.50), hubby had a coffee ($3), and for our meals, I opted for the Norwegian Benedict ($18) and substituted fruit for the sides (+$2.75), and hubby ordered the Bacon breakfast sando with fries ($13). Our drinks came out super-fast, which was great since we were still pretty early in the day and we were definitely seeking caffeine. My drink looked great when it landed, but quickly curdled and was terrible. I tried to power through, but it was just not yummy. When the dishes arrived, they looked really nice, and smelled good. My smoked salmon was super fishy and weirdly gummy, and really set the benedict off for me. Even pulling it off the rest of the dish didn't really help because the smell was so strong, it ruined it for me. Fortunately, the fruit was one of the best fruit bowls I've had with a meal and every piece was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Hubby thought his breakfast sando was ok, however the serving size was so huge, and the food was so heavy, he felt weighed down and had heartburn after. He left more than half his dish because even his hungry omnivore self couldn't eat it all. Overall, the ambiance was nonexistent, the service was very cold, and the food was really not impressive other than the freshness of the fruit. Parking on the street was hit and miss, prices were high (about $50 for the two of us) for the overall quality, however the bathroom was really clean and well-lit so at least they had that going for them. Given the many other breakfast options in the area, I definitely would go elsewhere and not return here. read more

Delicious food & wonderful service. Highly recommend visiting for a lovely meal. Staff is friendly and funny also.

The staff is friendly and they have outdoor seating. We brought our dog and they brought him water without us asking. I normally look forward to my sourdough toast when I go out to brunch, but their ciabatta toast was an awesome alternative. The hash browns were a little under done with no seasoning and the scrambled eggs were a bit underwhelming, but nothing I couldn't fix with ketchup and hot sauce. No real complaints. Would definitely order again. The Eggs Benedict were AMAZING! They came with salad and hash browns, I wish I had taken a picture. read more

One of my Favorite spots in Novato!!! This small family owned restaurant is a go-to whenever I am in the mood for a great breakfast or lunch. Everything is made with care and I never get the feeling that things were slapped together in a rush. When I go for breakfast I love the hash brown selections and I often add a side of fried chicken. It is amazing, they add something special to the batter that makes it amazing! If you haven't ever tried it, take the Millionaire's bacon out for a spin. what a treat! If there for lunch their burgers don't disappoint (try the bacon burger). One of the other things that I love about this place is that the owner and family donates a lot to community efforts. As a resident that has children in the school system I appreciate and will support a local business that reinvests in the community. With that being said, what are you waiting for??? See you there! Actually, this makes me hungry, I'm gonna have lunch there now :-) Update 05/31/22: They added a fried chicken sando to the menu. YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!!! YUM!!! My wife had one of their benedict plates for a late breakfast and that was really good too! It tastes like they make their own benedict sauce there and not froma. packet which is a sign of a true breakfast spot. read more

It was packed on the weekend! There's not much waiting room, so our party was in the way of servers and guests. The food is excellent! The chicken fried steak was my favorite. Definitely a good option to split (haven't tried the leftovers yet). 4 breakfast meals + 4 coffees + 1 orange juice are just over $90 + tip. read more

After countless visits (mostly breakfast) we've always been seated within a few minutes, drink orders taken almost immediately and someone is over shortly to discuss food options. They offer a good variety of breakfast and lunch and portions are plentiful. There's a small outdoor seating area which is really nice on warm days and I do believe they are dog-friendly. Our last visit there were a few tables open inside when we arrived so no outdoor seating for us. We waited one full hour for our food. I am not sure if our order was messed up and they had to remake or if they were running behind but that seemed unusually long. I found the blueberry pancakes underwhelming but the egg dishes were good. Waitstaff was apologetic for the delay. read more

Love this place! Great place for breakfast or lunch. Owners always on site and working. Would highly recommend.

Everything is right with this place. Service is exceptional, food is yummy and diverse, and it just hits right. Their egg dishes are whipped up and fluffy, which is a nice treat. Nice outdoor patio as well as a decent amount of inside seating. Obviously a cute place in cute downtown Novato. A++ enjoy. The honeybee bacon is fab, the Monte Cristo is pictured. read more

What a great find! I mean, besides the fact that I love bacon and this place has amazing bacon.... The customer service was top notch, and the food was delicious! We popped in as we rode by on our bikes looking for a quick bite at the end of our ride. There was room to safely keep our bikes near us, they offered us a bigger table but were fine with the little 2 person table. They quickly brought ice cold water seeing that we were hot and thirsty from riding. Everyone smiled and was friendly. With another 5 miles of riding and not too hungry we decided to share a sandwich and salad. Without even having to ask, they split our meal on 2 beautifully presented plates to make it easy to share. Their side salad had avocado!! Seriously in love with this place and will be my go to stop on rides that pass through Novato. Thanks guys!! read more

The best part about this restaurant is the staff - they are all so lovely, attentive, kind, and welcoming. The food is excellent, too. If you haven't tried the Honeybee Bacon Burger, you haven't lived. The burger is so flavorful and perfectly prepared - the fries are fantastic, I think the chef/owner, Tien, has some secret recipe to make them the perfect crispy treat with a creamy soft potato inside. I love the scrambled eggs, too. I don't know what he puts in them, but they are creamy and delicious. They have a spacious dining room, and a lovely outdoor space that Tien takes great care to make comfortable in a beautiful setting. read more

Been coming here weekly since they opened. Never disappointed. Great food and wonderful family owned restaurant.

Anything with a pig in their logo usually has me Convinced it's Going to be amazing. We stumbled in here while driving through town. The first place I looked up on Yelp had a long line and your girl was not in that type of mood that morning. Bacon had great reviews so we gave it a try. I loved the local art hanging. I loved that it was clearly family run. I loved so many regulars were there and it was apparent they were treated like family. It was very cute. The service was good. They were nice and not overly attentive. But I have to say, the food didn't do it for us. The Benedict was fine. The deep fried French toast was fine. It very much tasted like a funnel cake. It wasn't greasy or anything, it just was a little much for me that early. But my husbands waffle, was so sweet. He couldn't even finish it. He's a very simple man and usually will have waffle eggs and bacon anywhere we go. He kept referring to it so I finally gave it a bite, and it was just waaay too much for a waffle. Possibly too much vanilla extract? Not sure. But it was hard to even want to finish what was in my mouth. Could have been a bad batch. Could have been a bad day. Either way it's just one dish. But nothing was really impressive for us. read more

Updated review 03/03/2021 Yeeeee! So glad to experience indoor dining again! Today we got to order their new addition to their menu, their fried chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread which also has coleslaw in it. We ended up also getting a side of the coleslaw...Delish!!! I don't know why I've never ordered a burger from here before, but felt like having one today. I had the Honey Bee cheeseburger that comes with their delicious Honey Bee bacon. I asked to have it made with their gluten-free sliced bread with fruit instead of fries. My burger patty was perfectly cooked medium and was juicy. The coffee keeps on coming which makes me super happy too! read more

Took advantage of its cute outdoor seating on a sunny weekend day! Service was quick and thorough; we were constantly waited on. The food was plated so well. We got an egg entree each and then a chocolate chip pancake to share based on other Yelp reviews. While the food didn't have the most mind blowing taste to me, but it was hearty and plentiful, which I really appreciated! read more

Definitely hard to choose one item to get. I'd actually probably get two items next time for a good full meal. Went to pick up something off Craigslist and decided to get lunch over at this spot. The corned beef hash eggs Benedict was really tasty. The sauce hollandaise sauce made it better, with room for improvement. I'd imagine smoked salmon would be really nice!

The place only holds 49 ppl. Lots of street parking. The food came out hot and was big helpings! We had corned beef hash and then eggs with bacon, potatoes and toast.

We've been hoping for some time to visit this place and we were not disappointed. Service was exquisite and thoughtful. We needed an outside table, and the owner stepped right up and let us know how long it would take and he kept a keen eye out for the moment our table was clear. I ordered the Blackstone Benedict and my dining companion took the California Frittata. We were both pleased with our excellent choices. I could tell that many of the other diners were regulars and everyone seemed to feel right at home. Dogs are welcome on the patio, and we made several new four legged friends. We will return soon. This is the sort of restaurant we treasure. read more

I've passed by this restaurant many times since moving to the area a year ago, and wanted to visit because I always see ppl eating on their patio. That's prob why I thought of this restaurant when we decided sporadically to go for breakfast! So, we obvi sat on the patio, which is basically the sidewalk in front of their street-side parking spots. It was lively with a bunch of full tables and friendly ppl. Food was excellent. I got the honeybee benny and my wife something else (can't remember :/, but she liked it a lot. Honeybee bacon was great, but there wasn't as much as I was craving. Next time, I'm ordering another Benedict and a side of bacon). Hash browns were fantastic, the textures were perfect: crunchy outside and soft inside. Without a doubt, Bacon will be the first place that comes to mind the next time we can skip out for breakfast! read more

Came there on President Day Weekend Sunday around 12:30 (We called ahead at noon) for table of 10. They sat us outside because it was full inside and we had to split table 6 & 4. They gave us water and we ordered drinks. 20 min after drinks we finally got waitress attention to order our food. But food took 45 min to come. At least they gave children's table food first. Had we known it would have taken so long for food we would have just brought ingredients and made breakfast at home, would have taken less time. Food itself was decent but we were all so hungry after waiting almost an hour. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Aside from the fact that they took so long to bring out my breakfast they brought out my plate and the egg had a big long hair in it, I asked if I could get another plate,( accidents happen) the chef came out and said he didn't want to make me another plate then proceeded to tell me I could go to another restaurant in front of all the nearby customers super rude. All I wanted was a fresh new plate of food. read more

Today was my first experience dining at bacon. Don't be fooled there are vegetarian options! I had a wonderful experience. Service was excellent and my coffee was always topped off. I got to enjoy sitting outside with my friend. Tables were spaced out nicely. Parking was easy and restrooms were clean. I ordered the healthy vegetable frittata, with fresh fruit and gluten-free toast. It was probably the best gluten-free toast I've had in a breakfast establishment. And the frittata was loaded with veggies. I look forward to coming back. read more
