My friend, Tod wanted to come here to celebrate his birthday. I have never been and this joint has been on my to go list so it was a win win heading to Bacon Boise today! The weather was fabulous so sitting outside in the patio area was the perfect setting for breakfast. We got food ordered at the counter. The gal that was helping was kind but not very helpful. There was a gentleman that was working who stepped up to the plate and helped me out. I wanted hot coffee but since it was self serve, I couldn't have it. I decided not to get coffee but he suggested a cold brew. He had me sold the way he described it to me. So for breakfast today I got a vanilla iced cold brew with Boise Basin omelet. The patio area was perfection. Big orange umbrellas to keep us shaded. Tables nicely spaced so you didn't feel congested. And it's nicely tucked in so that you're not completely exposed to the street. You couldn't have asked for a better setting. My omelet and coffee trickled out. Mannnnn, it all looked fantastic! My omelet was hearty. Prettily garnished with fresh pico. The potatoes were golden topped with fried okra on top. My biscuit looked like it came out of the oven with a side of butter and jam. This plate of mine was going to get devoured! My omelet was fluffy stuffed with bacon, green peppers and onions. I also grabbed a side of sausage gravy to go with it and the gravy was the perfect match for my potatoes. The gravy and omelet was a winning combination too! Ughhhh it was so good. I ate so much of my omelet and potatoes that I ended up taking my biscuit home. I am planning to eat the rest of my potatoes and omelet for lunch later! I also got the pleasure of meeting Mr. John Berryhill. My friend, Tod are friends with John so it was great to see them interact and conversate with one another. I appreciate that he took time out of his duties to chat with us. He also gifted Tod a bag of birthday bacon. What a fun gift to receive! I'm so happy we got to come here for breakfast and celebrate my friend's birthday. The food was amazing. Service was fantastic and the venue is stunning! There is a huge cinnamon roll topped with bacon that's calling my name! I will have to come back soon to try it out! read more

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. read more

The food is pretty good and I had a hard time deciding what I was going to eat off the menu. It all looked good as the plates walked past me to the different tables. Love that fried okra is a side on many of the plates. Good was served in pretty quick once at the table. Where it missed... The lines. Put a warning on this place. Sure it s part of the ambience - but who wants / needs that? I waited in line on a Sunday morning for 40 minutes - and that was before it got busy. And by line - I mean a line. For the uninitiated, you stand in line to order then get your table. On the upside drinks were able to be ordered while in line. Honestly I almost left due to the snail like movement of the line. Not really sure why I stayed other than I was unfamiliar with Boise and didn't want to get stuck waiting somewhere else. In for a penny, in for a pound I guess. I was getting very hangry though. The biscuits. Too much sugar in the recipe. If you like a sweeter biscuit you'll be happy. At the end of the day the line is why I knocked the place to 3 stars. I'd eat here again but not if I had to wait in line and I'd skip the biscuits. Still more I'm willing to try read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place is lively already, which is fun if they disallowed guests to listen to their devices on speaker. During our visit, multiple surrounding tables were using speaker on their devices listening to various videos and podcasts. When I spoke with a waiter about this,, he made it seem like I was a villain. We left without eating our food due to the waiter and disrespectful allowable behavior of other tables. Will never return. read more

Very good breakfast. Probably the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. Bacon was naturally also great. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back. read more

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) read more

Bacon Boise - Menu Oct 2025 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

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! read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Bacon used to be my go-to spot for their amazing steak and eggs. Unfortunately they took that off the menu a while ago and replaced it, which has led me to go a lot less. I feel like I've noticed a trend of the quality of service suffering quite a bit, but it could be just because they are usually slammed on the weekends. Sometimes it takes ages to get refills or any other table service. The restaurant is always very nice and clean, with no complaints on the location. read more

We stopped off on a 9 day road trip based on a recommendation from friends who live in Eagle. Everything is pretty much bacon and it was incredible. The bacon flight is one of the best things I ever put in my mouth. We live in California and I'd consider making the 10 hour drive to do another meal here. The rest of the breakfast was a bit basic but basic good. However the bacon steals the show. I got a spicy Bloody Mary but not the hottest one. It was flavorful and I enjoyed the drink. Wife had a bacon omelet which was very good. Do yourself a favor and get out to try this place. read more

My wife and I came here for the first time because today is our wedding anniversary. Bacon Boise was recommended to my wife by our friends. It is located downtown near the corner of Idaho and 9th and actually on 9th. Inside there is lots of wood--chairs and tables and furniture, and a nice bar on the right. The high ceiling is industrial with visible ducting and vents. Lots of light comes in through the front windows. We were greeted by a few young people and given menus and it was explained to us to go to the back and order, then the food will come to your table. My wife ordered a flight of bacon, beignets, a glass of fresh squeezed OJ, and, for her, bacon and eggs, and for me, a bacon, cheese, and veggie omelet. All of the food was delicious, and the staff were all very nice. We live in Star, so this is a bit of a drive. But, since we are retired, we have the time and it was very enjoyable. We will be back. read more

Quick stop for brunch/breakfast ! Offering a variety of options. Jackson burrito was absolutely delicious and flavorful ( be careful it's hot lol ) !! And the French toast was good !

Have always loved this restaurant and the food but today was a different experience. I won't be returning anytime soon. I ordered the bacon sampler and when it came out, you could not eat it because it was extremely fatty. We told our waitress who sent the manager out. We asked for a more well done sampler. The manager explained that all of the bacon is the same. Round two came out and every single piece was burnt. There's no way to taste any of the spices because all you tasted was burnt bacon. I have ordered the sampler in the past and never had this problem. My husband also ordered a omelette and it was way overdone and rubbery. He could not eat it, but since we already complained about the bacon, we did not want to complain about the omelette. Also need to mention the manager. Almost like the guy did a whole bunch of Red Bulls before he came and approached our table. My advice would be to tone it down a little bit. I wouldn't say the guy was rude, but I wouldn't say he should be working in the public either. Unfortunately, just not a pleasant overall experience like we've had in the past. read more

Came to Boise on business and needed a quick breakfast to bring back to the hotel while working. Bacon was a great choice! I had the Berryhill and Maple Rosemary bacons, both were a delicious bite of salt, fat, sweet, and heat. I also got the El Paso burrito. It was stuffed full of ingredients and fed me for two meals which made it worth the price tag for me. The service was quick and friendly, they were more than happy to answer questions about the menu and personally handed me my to-go order. The vibe inside of the restaurant was so fun. Overall no complaints at all, would highly recommend and will be back when I return to Boise! read more

Food was amazing! There were four of us who came for breakfast and we all enjoyed our food with great feedback from all of us! The bacon was SUPERB and definitely the highlight of the dish! Crispy, Sweet, smoky, and spicy. I had a friend try the bacon and he doesn't typically like bacon but he was very impressed with it. The eggs were perfect with great seasoning and the potatoes were perfect texture with some jalapeño spice to it. We ordered a bacon cinnamon roll and it was suuuper big, about as big as my fist! Definitely a shareable size. The sweetness was balanced with spice and the roll was baked to a crisp on the outside and then soft and caked on the inside. The bacon bits on top added a perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and saltiness with a hint of the bitterness that comes with the taste of crispy bacon. The service was above and beyond! Our waitress was Willa. She has a great spirit of "happy to help" with a side of Care and hospitality. Ambience was very enjoyable with great music and dim lighting with mostly sunlight as the main source. Overall: great place to start the day! Sets a great mood standard with both environment and food quality. definitely recommending as a go-to option for this part of town. read more

No wonder the line was out of the door! Tucked away in a bank building, bacon provided exactly what it says it'll give you...! I was not impressed with the service model: wait in line to take your order...then get seated. The rustic Mississippi juke joint vibe was cool and inviting. The food was well worth the wait ! My poutine was delicious; who can't love a savory, crispy, warm and flavorful bowl of basically French fries topped with curds and gravy?!? The bacon flight is a must, and worth trying to replicate (especially the spicy bacon)! Tourists can't miss this spot, but locals stay away as it's always so busy. I'm definitely going back! read more

We checked in to make sure that the eggs were real and crack and got carton eggs that were pasteurized. Employee went to check to make sure but when the food came out it was the wrong eggs. Employee went to check and remade the dish. We were informed later. Bacon tastes good but is covered with honey or something, I don't recall seeing that on the menu. Potatoes and orca were cold. Another person did check on us later maybe the manager. Nice to hear if she could replace stuff but we were already done and over it. Customer beware! read more

Great place for breakfast! Loved the bacon shooters, cinnamon roll, and our meals. Overall, very good experience.

However, after ordering, the food came out very quickly. I had the shrimp and grits, which I thought were good but not anything special. They were pretty greasy. The biscuit and jam that came along with it was a little plain, but everything was totally fine. Just temper your expectations :-) read more

I love all things bacon so was excited to check this place out. The line was a little long when we went around 9:15am on a Sunday. It was very long after we ordered. You order at the counter and they bring the food out. The cashier took our order but was not really friendly. Started with the bacon shots which I really enjoyed. It's 5 types of delicious bacon in shot glasses and I liked them all. My BF went with an omelet which comes with potatoes, okra and a biscuit. I had the "Beverly" Big Biscuit which is scrambled eggs, cheese, spicy bacon and sriracha on a biscuit...so yummy! If you like bacon- you will like this place. read more

Attentive staff, friendly conversationalists, bluegrass music playing softly - such a great vibe! Highly recommend! read more

Bacon Boise - Benny hill Benedict and Boise Basin Omelet each with fried okra and tomatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Walking into this place it felt weird, you "follow the bacon" to the ordering counter; its not a restaurant not a bar - sorta hybrid I suppose, came with a party of 7; rather large I know... You order at a counter like Panera Bread, get a ticket & then the food comes out to your table. This is a fast casual place, not a restaurant by my definition. Had a wave down employees to get any kind of service or water for the table multiple times. Didn't clear the table of dirty dishes. It wasn't even busy there were many open tables. Food was okay, once it came out, thankfully not too long of a wait, this was a one & done place for me. Jerky was fun, enjoyed the bacon sampler. Service could be so much better, not impressed by that what so ever. But as stated previously, it's not a restaurant. Definitely a hybrid food place, not somewhere to go for service. read more
