This was a very pleasant experience. We were in and out within a half hour. -seat yourself -grab a menu and fill it out. Include your name and table number. -our food was brought to us, but signs say listen for your name to be called to get it yourself. -when you're done go to the bar and tell them your table number and they'll ring you up. Cash only. I ordered French toast and scrambled eggs. My husband got the half pound burger and fries. It was delicious, tasted homemade and well seasoned. Fries tasted fresh. My French toast was yummy, with a condensed milk sauce on top and butter on the side. My scrambled eggs tasted as if they were cooked in bacon grease. Listening to Doo-wop was very nice too.

Bacon Diner - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

I went for lunch/brunch with some friends for the first time. Its located in a small strip mall area off Bluffton Parkway. You can get there using backroads from 278 by taking Persimmon Street to Scott Way and navigating through the parking lots. While its listed as a diner, it look more like a 1950's Malt Shop. It has checkerboard tile floors, a large countertop and multple tables for 4 people. There's a projected image of a pink Cadillac along with Route 66 signs on the back wall. The service and food were excellent. Once you arrive, you fill out a ticket for the food you wish to order. The ticket is the size of a keypunch card or airline ticket. You put down what you want, your name and the table you're sitting at. They will bring out your food along with a packet of silverware. The condiments and paper towels are at the tables. This is a cash only restaurant. There's an ATM outside. I ordered the corned beef Reuben. The corned beef was very tender and the sandwich was a nice size for $11.99. Some of my party ordered the large breakfast sandwich and another ordered the grouper sandwich which I understand was very good and quite large. I didn't notice a juke box which was probably the only prop missing. They do play music in the background. read more

Very cute and a hidden gem for sure! When first walking in your greeted on where to sit and where you would like to drink. You place your order on these ordering sheets and you hand it in. Once your order is ready they will call your name and you go to pick it up. Very old school and laid back kind of place. Staff is friendly and the food was good for the price. read more

Good Morning All! The Bacon Diner has breakfast and while every restaurant has its strengths and challenges, the Bacon Diner's motif is a strength because it harkens back to the 1950's with Pink Cadillacs (yea, it's got the front end of one), Peggy Sue, Bobby-soxer's (yea, I know 1940's, but it fit, and if you are 95, and know the difference, God bless you!), and the the heyday of black and white, black and white, and black and white. And no, you lapsed Catholic you, I do not mean a Nun falling down stairs. Its service is its strength as it is fast and efficient. Its food is good and basic which is a strength if you need to grab breakfast on the run, need to be in and out to get to work, or your an accountant who likes their food, like the ledgers, meaning neat, clean, and tidy! If it's me and you, or maybe, "Tippy Canoe and Tyler too, then this be the place for you with its fast, efficient, and basic grub to fill your gut, and move on with your day of in every way. Enjoy read more

Great food great service and great atmosphere. Never had a bad breakfast at this place.

It's a yes, it's not a NJ diner but it's ohh so close. BTW it's cash only with an ATM outside. The decor is kitschy Elvis kinda. The ordering process is out of the 1950s which makes it fun. The make your own breakfast sandwich was upper level good. The roll as not a kaiser but it held up so well with a runny egg and bacon. The blueberry French toast had fresh blueberry. Such a fun local spot . read more

I love classic Diners, so finding one in this area made it a must-do. Beyond the amazing ambience, the food was absolutely delicious. It is cash only, but they have an ATM outside available. The service was quick and friendly! You guys just made me into a regular as I'll be coming back frequently. I just wish it was open longer so I could also experience it in the evenings! read more

Went for breakfast - got the "H". Made to order eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes and pancakes. All delicious! Great coffee with generous refills. Friendly staff, clean atmosphere without the grill smell. Make this a Bluffton must do. read more

Classic short-order meals; sandwiches, breakfasts, quick and filling. Visit your ATM (or the one outside the front door) 'cause this is CASH ONLY dining! read more

The easiest breakfast i've ever been to. You come in, sit down wherever they grab your order get it whipped up (SO fast) then you get your check, pay cash (only) and it's a wrap. Like a clean, better waffle house! It's really eclectic inside and the food was so unbelievably good! Not a ton of room for big groups but definitely a nice easy spot read more

It was ok, but a bit of a letdown. The burger was tasteless so all the toppings had to create all the flavor. I probably won't be returning.

First time (recommended by local friend) lunch diners at the Bluffton Bacon Diner. Cash-only quick very friendly service. Appears to be a family run diner that serves delicious hot well made burgers as well as other sandwiches. We enjoyed two juicy cooked perfectly (one medium one medium-well) all meat burgers with shoe string fries or crispy onion rings (see photo). Diner is spotless and the staff is efficient to serve and take away finished items or offer free drink refills. read more

Always great food, service and fresh! Will always go coming to or exiting HHI! Love this place!

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This place is so unsanitary and gross. The amount of cross contamination that was going on the grill side and the cold side was unbelievable. Not a single cook in there was wearing gloves. We watched as the handled meat, eggs, toast, and lettuce and burger topping all with bare hands not once washing in between. Then the grill cook wiped his nose with his hand and proceeded to roll an omelette out of the pan with the same bare hand. The table busser/doshwasher was also bare handed, and right after bussing a table proceeded to mix and serve someone a milkshake. I have no words for how shocked I am that DHEC has not been notified. As I'm driving away I'm praying I don't get sick from eating there. Also, the servers do not bring your food to you, you have to get up and get it once one of the bare handed cooks calls your name. They are also cash only. read more

When you walk in, you will love the atmosphere. The decor is awesome. The restaurant is extremely clean and you can see the staff preparing your food. It's nice going into a restaurant that's so clean. You can tell the owner/ manager takes pride in their restaurant and has high standards based on the cleanliness alone. My husband got a cheese burger here and he loved it! I loved their grits and eggs. My husband also got a milkshake he enjoyed! We will definitely be back. The restaurant is cash only, however there is an ATM outside of the place so do not worry if you don't have cash on you. We will definitely be back! It's tucked away and kind of hard to see, like everything is around here lol. Parking is easy. You are missing out if you don't go! Definitely family friendly, chill environment. Thanks Bacon Diner team for the wonderful experience! read more

Great service, even better food. I think this place has a pretty cool concept, at first I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were attentive and the food didn't take long at all! Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and I LOVED the bacon. Definitely recommend and I can't wait to come back again. The biscuits and gravy was by far my favorite, but my kids really enjoyed the eggs and bacon. ****Read in someone else's review that they refused to serve them breakfast after 11, but that is not true. We arrived around noon and they still allowed us to order breakfast**** read more

We live in Beaufort. We found this gem by accident after an early morning doctor appointment. The Bacon is the best lil breakfast spot in Beaufort County. Shhhh don't tell nobody. I don't want to have to wait in line next time I come down there. Only cash no cards. That's my type of place. You know the food gonna be good cause they don't take credit cards. read more

We went to try out the restaurant today. My husband ordered pancakes and they were burnt. The bottoms were completely black. It should have never been put on the table. We sent it back. Next set that came, he stood in front of us with the plate of pancakes, picked one up with his hand and tore it to make sure it was fully cooked. Yea, hard pass, will not be coming back. Too bad, because the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. read more

Great food!!! Great service!! . Find your seat, fill out your order, take it to the counter and they will call your name when its ready. Happy diner music and a lot of smiles!! Remember to take cash! read more

You are given order sheets to mark exactly what you want. You can select the toppings from a list. The burger was great and the onion rings were perfect. When you bit into the onion ring, no onion slides out of the batter - - that is a perfect onion ring. The rings were a big splurge for me and they were worth it. (Even my "no carb' husband had a few.). My only confusion came when it was time to pay the bill as the check was never brought to us. I finally walked up and paid at the counter. read more

Cash only. Good breakfast, fast service. Take a menu and mark what you want. Give it to the server. read more

Great food and great atmosphere! Very fast paced with lots of energy. Food came out hot and we arrived right before the late morning breakfast rush. Inside is modeled after a 1950's diner with lots of great pictures and signs on the wall. When they call your name be ready to pick up your food! Place reminds me of the old SNL cheese burger skit. Very fast paced. Love it and highly recommend eating there. Cash only so be prepared! read more

Awesome place to eat, also read one of the other reviews and if you go to the Bacon Diner for hotdogs... maybe just go somewhere else.

Easy going, calm atmosphere. You sit yourself, build your own meals by marking a paper menu. Cash only but ATM conveniently located next to the door. Best grits I've had in a long time - just added a little salt and butter!! Excellent sausage patties; French toast was not soggy, just enough crispy edges. Biscuits and gravy were about what I expect from a diner. Husband got Philly cheesesteak- good but better with extra cheese. Meat was tender and plentiful. Fries were homestyle potatoes- mixture of tender potatoes with crispy edges. Minor deduction in stars due to: Eggs ordered medium, deliver more easy - runny. read more

My go to breakfast place. Nothing compares. Fast, efficient and great people. Best breakfast around. But CASH only so bring your wallet.

Really good food! We enjoyed brunch. I had lunch and my husband had a delicious breakfast read more

Great service, fun atmosphere, one of the best burgers around! AND won't break the bank

Hands down the best meal I've had in a long time. I believe the bread and fries are both homemade but not 100% sure, regardless they were delicious. Tasted like a home cooked meal. The juiciest and most delicious burger I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is so welcoming. The employees were fabulous from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. This will become a regular lunch stop for us!!! read more
