This Bloody Mary was the best thing since sliced bread!
Vadesha P.

We checked out Bacon Street Diner during our visit to Clearwater. It gives more of a tap house feel rather than a traditional diner. Perfect casual spot for brunch! We were seated by the manager, while our waiter finished up with another table. Awesome guy and an even friendlier waiter. On Saturdays and Sundays they offer $2 mimosas. We also ordered the Bloody Mary that was one of the best Bloody Marys I've had in a while! Spicy and delicious! We ordered the mimi breakfast and the Ruben sandwich. The pickled slaw that came with the Ruben was amazing! 10/10 for food and drink. 10/10 for service and ambience

Chicken biscuit plate
Casey P.

So... I was really thinking I would love this place based on the fact that it is a 95% "scratch" kitchen and all the other five star reviews, I was certain that things would be at least good, even if not great. We walked in and were sat immediately and our server Paige was super nice and made great recommendations we eventually settled on the chicken biscuit to share, the corned beef skillet and the lumberjack breakfast. The corned beef skillet was the best thing we had today which was well seasoned, tender and full of flavor, the home fries were okay and the over medium eggs were perfectly done. The lumberjack breakfast was Huge but just okay, not good not great. The homemade biscuit was very mealy and dry, not flaky and buttery like a good biscuit should be. The owner came out and apologized for the biscuit being what I described as a "disappointment" which it was because as I explained to my server, the owner and the other kitchen manager, I have been all over the world eating great food and this doesn't measure up. The chicken biscuit was also very okay. We ended up leaving 3/4 of the food we ordered on the plates to be thrown in the trash. The ambiance was exactly wheat you would expect from a diner on a Sunday morning that attached to a mall, busy, kinda loud and people everywhere. I really wanted to like this place but it's a NO for me.

If you have a big appetite, this scratch kitchen restaurant is for you ! Located at the countryside mall, parking was easy and I saved time by joining the waitlist on Yelp! Our server , Karlyn was amazing and had such great energy. We chatted about food , yelp and travel and her and my little one chatted about toys and coffee lol. I ordered a caramel cappuccino for my breakfast along with the country fried steak and eggs, home potatoes and biscuit and holy moly I didn't even make a dent ! Portions are huge . My little one had the kid jr French toast breakfast with a scrambled egg and extra bacon and said it was delicious. Service here is truly amazing and everyone was polite and conversed. Because of my Yelp check in , I received a free cookie which was so good we ended up taking a few back to the hotel for later. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and do have an all day menu as well as a smaller portions menu. We are definitely coming back tomorrow for breakfast again but I'll be picking for the smaller menu lol.

There's no bacon about it. Wait I can have breakfast for dinner or lunch. Stopped at this local spot for a bite to eat. I'm from out of town so I'm always looking for something new. Was greeted right away with a smile and a friendly hello. Once seated at the table we were told about their daily specials and that everything was made fresh to order. So with that in mind it will take a few minutes to get to you. I did see when entering they had housemaid mini pies and cookies. I got the salisbury steak with a side of veggies and mashed potatoes. It was just what I wanted and it was fresh and delicious. Thankfully I opted for the mini salisbury steak which is 1/2 pound order and it was the perfect portion for me. H and the sweet tea was just right for this southern gal. Atmosphere was great not too loud and you could have a conversation with out yelling. They do have a bar in the middle of the restaurant and lots of options to choose from. Super nice staff and great food. I would recommend this spot as they also won many awar

We saw that they had a pretty extensive gluten-free menu, so we decided to give this place a try. Overall, it was good. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable about the gluten-free options, and explained the precautions they take to avoid cross-contamination. She answered all of my questions, and if she wasn't sure about something, she went and found out, which I really appreciated. I had the gluten-free fish and chips, and they were good. The batter didn't stick to the fish very well, but the flavor was still good. My daughter had the gluten-free chicken tenders. They were a little dark, I'd even say almost burnt but she still ate them. She also got the gluten-free French toast for dessert, which we absolutely loved. My husband ordered the chicken salad and said it was delicious. Overall, we had a good experience here.

Half eaten GF waffle, very delicious

Needing to stop for food on the way home I saw this bacon street diner had great reviews so decided to go out of the way a little to try it. It exceeded my expectations, you must try this place it's a scratch kitchen. The food is amazing! Service is awesome, we were hungry and forgot to take pics but we started with the bacon corn chowder very yummy! My granddaughter and I shared the Bacon lover breakfast and it had lots of delicious bacon and came with waffles and I chose gluten free and they were so light and fluffy, the real syrup I recommend. We also shared the Lox bene, did not disappoint ! Highly recommend going here. I just wish I lived closer to visit more often.

This is a milkshake and it was so buss

This guy named Dutch is so cool and such a good waiter! The food is really good mmmm and the ambiance is loud enough so I'm not embarrassed to be loud and stuff. Great place! I'll def come back again

Kaity was amazing as a server. We had some new people with us and she answered all of their questions.

Breakfast Burger
Jean D.

In the last two weeks, we've eaten here twice once for brunch and once for an early dinner. The food is actually very good. I love their little bacon, maple cream puffs. I think the first time I had the lumberjack special the second time I had their breakfast burger, which is a bacon bomb waiting to happen. And we had a small stack of the chicken waffle which the presentation is very cool. For mall restaurant the prices are definitely reasonably affordable for the amount of food you get. The service is pretty good as well. I would recommend it if you're in the area. They do serve breakfast all day.

Posting after a second visit. We went the first time about six months or so after the initial opening, it wasn't great, wasn't horrible. After all the hype in CL best of the bay, we looked back over the menu / reviews and decided this was the place to go. I was craving a Reuben, he was just hungry and didn't know what he wanted, as per usual ha ha. I got a bacon bloody (good!) He got an expresso martini (good!) So big ups for the bar. Then the food was served. Sigh. Dam it. Ugh. He got a breakfast tower thing that, while good, the weakest part of the dish was the actual bacon itself??? It's named BACON STREET DINER??" The "monster reuben" wasn't. I really have no issue with that, but... it was an abomination of a sandwich. I'm pretty sure the fries were made last week. This place swiftly slid into "hard no" territory for me today. It's really a shame.

Fish & Chips
Adriana H.

We visited Bacon Street Diner at Countryside Mall with a party of six on a busy Saturday afternoon and were seated in about 15 minutes, which was impressive considering how busy it was. The service was friendly and the timing between plates was consistent, even with a full dining room. What we ordered: The special of the day was an open-faced turkey sandwich served with mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, carrots and green beans. It was a true comfort food plate. The turkey was tender, the gravy rich and everything tasted homemade. It felt like Thanksgiving dinner in the best way. The 3-egg omelette with spinach, sausage and feta was fresh and flavorful and cooked well. The only thing to note is that add-ons are $1.50 each, so the price can add up quickly depending on what you choose. The fish and chips with dill sauce were crispy and well seasoned. The portion was generous and the dill sauce paired perfectly. The corned beef and hash skillet was hearty, savory and full of flavor. A great choice if you love diner style breakfast dishes. We also ordered a classic cheeseburger and fries, which was simple, satisfying and cooked the way we asked. The kids chicken strips and fries were crispy and fresh, and a definite hit. Before leaving, we walked by the dessert case and it absolutely stopped us in our tracks. Pies, cream puffs and house-made desserts that looked incredible. We were way too full to try one this time, but they will definitely be the reason we return. Overall, great food, generous portions, friendly service and a dessert case that demands a second visit. We'll definitely be back, especially to finally try a slice of pie or a cream puff.

Came here for a late brunch today around 1:30pm, party of 4. Was about a 15 min wait. I got the mini breakfast with French toast - for less than $12 you can get 2 eggs, a sausage, a bacon, and a French toast - really a steal in my book! Also got an apple juice. Pros: - they text you when your table is ready so you can walk around the mall area while waiting - easy parking lot in the mall - pretty quick service, our waiter Michael was friendly and competent - you can buy pie too! We got 2 pies for about $19 - they look small but are actually filling Cons: - the round booth was a little uncomfortable, but not a dealbreaker. Pretty solid breakfast - the mini breakfast was the perfect size for me when I wasn't starving. Their potatoes were also very well seasoned but not too salty!

Do they have southern country ham and grits?

I don't think so, but you should check their menu or call.

Is the brunch all you can eat? does it have a good selection to choose from?

No, it's not a all you can eat.

We were told they were nominated for Best Breakfast, and I can confidently say it is **100% well deserved**. I absolutely love everything about this place--from the beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere to the incredible staff, huge selection of food, and, most importantly, the quality of everything we've ordered. Everything is made to order and absolutely delicious. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, every meal has been excellent! We were especially lucky to have been taken care of by some truly wonderful people. Travis served us on our first night and immediately made us feel comfortable and right at home. He was incredibly friendly and gave us some fantastic food recommendations. Sarah was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly to our liking. Isabel was another wonderful server who made our experience even more enjoyable. **Briana and Dave were also fantastic and provided such great service, making each visit even more enjoyable.** And we can't forget Robert over at the Bloody Mary bar! He made my husband and me some of the most delicious Bloody Marys, piled HIGH with incredible bites like grilled cheese, fried chicken, and bacon. They were almost a meal in themselves! As far as must-tries go, you **have to** try the Cinnamon Bun French Toast, any of their omelets, the burgers, the Blackened Grilled Chicken Bacon Swiss & Ranch sandwich, the Cuban, the Southwest Egg Rolls, and of course, their amazing French fries. If you're staying at Sandpearl or anywhere in the area, **do yourself a favor and stop at Clear Sky Café.** The food, service, atmosphere, and people make this place truly special. We're already looking forward to coming back!
