I got a breakfast sandwich to go two days in a row because it was so good. For the record, egg over easy with sausage and cheddar on a bagel. It was delicious. Best part is that you can choose exactly what you want, they are fast, friendly and served at a fair price. What's not to love? read more

The food was really good and the service was ok. Our food came out fast and the coffee was good. I just wasn't impress overall. I would go again but I know of better brunch place in the area. read more

WellWhen you come in a place called the Bacon diner you think that they're going to have really good bacon for breakfast I had bacon sausage two eggs sunny side up and rye toast. My friend had the steak and eggs. First the good part the toast. It was extra wide very rye. The text came buttered it was a big old pile of toast . The bacon of course in the bacon diner was cooked terribly . it was soggy and limp. No special bacon just regular out of the damn cheap Section at the grocery store regular poorly cooked bacon. The less said about the sausage the better. The steak with the steak and eggs was just a massive pile of hard gristle my friend had a trouble even cutting it . she declined to actually eat a piece . I tried A bite . if you just wanted something to chew on you were there. But it to give another a good note the dog liked it. The coffee while it was just Folgers or whatever. At least it had been age to death in the decanter. However there was nobody no body that was there to fill up your coffee. I had asked very loud late well after my coffee was gone to get another cup. Then it was like oh I guess we have to give refills we forgot all about that. One star not worth a trip blah blah blah read more

LOVE this diner! My husband and I had yet another craving for their chili cheese dog yesterday. The very best one you will find anywhere. Best all beef hot dog, Best chili (no beans) and bringing it all together, the BEST bun!!! Highly recommend the onion rings that have a perfectly crisp crust protecting the super sweet and moist onion inside. Owners are super friendly. and hard working. I'd love to try other items on their menu but can't imagine not eating that hotdog!!!!!! read more

Food was great price was great service was too. But I cannot get over how basic cleanliness is absent. Maybe it's because you see the entire operation but when employees handle money then wrap silverware wo cleaning their hands, the cook wears no hair protection, licks his fingers then directly handles food.... Yuck. Rags to wipe tables were dropped on the floor then picked up to wipe tables. Won't be back. read more

Cleaver signage but disappointing food. They have you fill out a sushi like order sheet. I specifically listed NO BUTTER on my French toast. It showed up with a creamy topping. I don't eat raw milk products. I asked what that was and the counter guy said "syrup". Clearly it wasn't syrup. I pressed and he added it was condensed milk. Why??? I reminded him I requested no butter (for a reason) and he said condensed milk isn't butter. Duh! I'm 50 years I have never seen French Toast doused in condensed milk. Why not just offer it on the side? I paid quickly (cash only BTW) and left. I won't go back and suggest you find alternate place to eat where they respect your dietary wishes. Yuck. read more

Great diner. Food was really good and reasonably priced for the quality. Sitting at the counter watching the cook is an impressive display of multi-tasking. Love the 50's ambiance. It is cash only, which if we were observant we would have seen the signs. There is an ATM right outside if didn't bring cash. Would recommend. read more

it was a cheap place for eats. two hotdogs, icetea w tip is 23 bucks. this is disgusting to pay for 2 dogs. language issues as a few mistakes. no waitress no bill no credit cards ambiance is fine. good parking the hot dogs are all beef but they charge like their all gold. read more

We passed by the Bacon Diner on the way to Lowe's and said, "Bacon Diner"!!!!!! Had to try it on the way home. It was a delightful retro diner that took us back in time. Loved the décor with the pink caddy driven by the King Elvis Presley and passenger Marilyn Monroe herself. We ordered the bacon burger of course and it did not disappoint! Good old fashioned griddle fried on a soft sour dough type roll with many options to go on it. Make it the way you want! French fries were very good hot out of the fry pan. The owner & staff could not have been nicer. We want to go try out their breakfast too! Great find!! read more

Had family visiting from out of state who wanted a good breakfast/lunch restaurant; we ended up at Bacon Diner. The food was fantastic and the staff was quite personable/friendly. Other than the cash only aspect of the Diner, it is a proper 10 out of 10. Everyone loved their meals; which include 2 kids and 4 adults. Everyone left full and satisfied. read more

Very good food. Sat at the bar and was impressed with the speed and efficiency of the cooks.

Great little spot if you are looking for a quick breakfast experience. My husband and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary on Hilton Head Island and on our way out we were going to eat at the Hilton Head Diner but there was a long wait so we looked for something else and we found The Bacon Diner! We were very pleased with how quickly we got our food and it tasted great! read more

Always a great stop for breakfast and lunch. Service is fast and decor is adorable. Just make sure to bring cash, they don't accept cards.

Best breakfast in Bluffton! I would come here just for the French toast, but the make your own breakfast sandwiches are also a hit. The Bacon Diner offers a unique welcoming experience that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time and the prices can't be beat for the quality of food. Definitely recommend a trip and don't forget to bring cash! read more

This is a must do if you're in Bluffton or vacationing in Hilton Head. The grouper sandwich is so fresh and delicious. The fries are amazing and so are the milkshakes. Owners are friendly and remember repeat customers. Well worth seeking Bacon out. read more

Fantastic food. Friendly service. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is they should probably have a sign displayed much more prominently indicating they only accept cash. read more

I've been a fan of the two running this place for years since I discovered Harold's when I lived on the island. So excited they're here in Bluffton! Food was so good, excellent atmosphere, and wonderful service! If you've not checked them out yet then be sure you do cause you're missing out!! read more

Came randomly after getting my car detailed. Absolutely amazing. Had the Ruben and fries. Fast and so fresh! Will definitely be coming here more often! The staff is so friendly and sweet. Cash only was the only thing I didn't know but I had cash on me and they have an ATM outside just incase. Highly recommend read more

I like the Bacon Diner, no pretentious sittings and cash only. You pick your seat and fill out your order on your own order ticket. No mix up in the orders. They bring your drinks and take your order ticket. Nice music and the food tastes like it should, real good. I had a simple American cheese omelette, I did not find any hot peppers or onions or anything else that I did not want. For that I was thankful! Next time I will try lunch, burger and fries and hope it will not be too long. Oh, I have heard that the milk shakes are great! read more

Great food with honest hardworking people. It is a pleasure to go here and just watch how hard they work to create a quality product. It is a pleasure to see hard work paying off for this restaurant. read more

It was my first time at the Bacon Diner. I had bacon, Pepper, and onion omelette with grits. I must say it was okay no seasoning on the omelette and I've had better grits. I will give the place a second chance hopefully it was a off day. read more

Great food, great guys, real fun experience! Supporting these hard working local businesses men is a pleasure!

We stopped for breakfast on our way home from HH. It was very good. You fill out your order on a paper order form and it came out exactly as we ordered. We would definitely stop again on our way through Bluffton SC read more

Really nice vibe. Good food and reasonable. We will be back. Cash only and closed on Monday. Check it out!

I've eaten here on a few occasions which was always breakfast. Breakfast food is good and consistent. Service is very friendly and fast. Today I had the burger which was one of the best burgers I have ever had. I would recommend eating the burger even if you show up at 9am wanting breakfast. read more

Deliciousness breakfast very fresh will def. Come back I had bacon eggs rye toast done perfect wait staff very friendly

New diner in Bluffton. Visited for the first time and everything was great from decor to super friendly staff. Food came out hot and was very good but..... A negative and a major turnoff...that could prevent me from returning was that the cooks did not wear gloves and on several occassions i witnessed them going from touching raw meat and fish to preparing your ready to eat meal. read more

Good food for a dinner but bacon was a let down. I do charcuterie. That was cheap bulk bacon. But I would go back because it was a fun setting and priced right. read more

Fast and delicious food. My workers eat here a few times a week. Affordable for us painters.

Didn't even get to eat. Walked into the diner & was approach by a man who told us to sit down. Then once we sat down a teenage worker gave us a sheet to fill out. We were looking over the sheet since it was our first time there & he was very rude. Asked us if we were ready & we said no, we need another minute. And he responded with "really, it doesn't take that long". So me & my friends packed up our stuff and happily left. I promise you I will never go back. That was so rude & will never give them my business. I happily when to truffles cafe & enjoyed some amazing French Toast. read more

Best burger and fries I've ever had! Love this place! I've seen the reviews about the rudeness, that's purposeful. It's a spin off from Harold's Diner on HHI and that is their thing as well. They are rude, it is meant to be funny but the food is amazing. read more

If you like a dive with good burgers this is your place. It is owned by - and looks like - Harold's Diner on Hilton Head Island. The burgers are reasonably priced and delicious. Service was good. My wife is not a meat person and loves the fish sandwich. A little hard to find - across Bluffton Parkway from Enmark in a small strip center. read more

I was hesitant given the cash only policy. However, the lively atmosphere and impressive food quickly won me over. Pancakes were great, bacon got two thumbs up, Reuben was amazing and the onion rings were such a hit my daughter asked to an extra order to go. Yum! read more

Bluffton is our "home away from home" and we always come here. It has a cool 50s decor and the food is good and basic. Orders are placed using a check-off menu that everyone fills out and hands to server. Orders are served quickly and staff is friendly. Highly recommended. read more
