Bacon Street Diner

This place is clean, the staff is super friendly, and the food is awesome! I was undecided, but our waitress instantly recommended one of the 2 things I was thinking..... The chicken fried chicken. The portion was HUGE, cooked perfectly, and the gravy was on point. My better half chose the veggie Bennie and enjoyed it. The poutine was also super yummy! Love the cinnamon bacon cookie as well! I like to support local, and this place is family owned and operated and it shows. Lou was our waitress, and she was awesome!

My second trip here, it's that good! Stopped in here for the first time over a month ago, got coffee and dessert after a movie! Came back for brunch and it didn't disappoint!! The best country fried steak I've ever had and I've eaten at no exaggeration, 20+ diners. Tender steak, crispy and light breading, smothered in thick bacon gravy! I could easily eat these pancakes every day, absolutely perfect! First time trying peameal bacon, was delicious. Everything including their blueberry apple butter which we purchased to take home was phenomenal! Danielle the owner, was there and friendly as ever. Her and her husband are hands on and make everything from scratch! Son impressed with the place, the food, the service, I've been 3 times and it's 2.5 hours away!! You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu! We need one of these in Orlando ASAP!!!

Bacon cheeseburger was good. The included french fries are my favorite kind. From fresh cut potatoes. Only bad thing was they were mostly small bits and were not hot. Breakfast platter was huge. Enough for two people. Will definitely return. Service was just okay due to wait staff mia

Finally went to this restaurant after being told how awesome it was by multiple people. They were right. Loved this place. Ordered the Lumberjack breakfast and the wife had Country Gravy Bene. Both were amazing. So much food had plenty for the next day. Pancakes were about 3 lbs each. So good! Ya gotta go enjoy the food, which is all fresh. Sausage and bacon were delish and hearty. Best spicy potatoes I’ve eaten. Please do yourself a favor and eat here. Bring friends so they can enjoy too. Will be back and try something else on the menu next time. Leave full and walk around the mall to get rid of some of that fullness. Ha!

First of all, I’ve eaten here many times and have had several different menu items, all have been outstanding. My husband is celiac and this restaurant offers many great gluten-free options. Our book club was looking for someplace to meet on short notice and they graciously accommodated us. The waitress, Kai, did an outstanding job, she was so kind and efficient. We really appreciate your great service Kai!

Excellent, quality scratch kitchen food. The chicken and bacon Alfredo was out of this world! Busting with flavor, and a unique twist to the ingredients. Service from Michael was excellent, and the owner came to the table and checked on us multiple times and made the atmosphere very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend anytime.

OMG, just happened to find this place and I'm really glad I did. Food was amazing 👏🏽 staff and owner (Danielle) very friendly. $2 Mimosas on Sat. and Sun. 8-11am. They are on Upside for those who are wondering. Will definitely be back. Plenty of parking, outside seating available, clean, A+++ restaurant 😀

The Great reviews are spot on! This place rocks everything start to finish. Mamas Pasta was super tasty and quite filling. The Crispy Fish and Chips was fresh and perfectly crunchy. This kitchen is on their game. Couldn’t resist the peanut butter pie and oh my. What a super delicious and decadent treat to finish off the meal. This place is definitely recommended.

Awesome food! Love the homemade breads. Great service and such a nice staff! We will definitely be back!

Everything was fantastic! Love the homemade breads. Jesus did not stear us wrong with recommendations and his service was prompt !

Food was amazing! Had the cheese fries and that dipping sauce the jalapeño ranch was delicious! Had an amazing club sandwich which was fresh and tasted so good. All of that with an amazing server Jesus! Thanks for a great experience. We will be back soon!

Bacon Street Diner is an absolute gem! Everything tastes fresh and handmade, and the portions are huge--you definitely get your money's worth. The food is consistently delicious and clearly made with care. What really sets this place apart, though, is the friendly, welcoming staff. Huge shoutout to Sydney and Bri for their excellent service--they were attentive, helpful, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for comfort food done right, generous portions, and service that makes you feel right at home, Bacon Street Diner is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

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.

So glad I visited! First of all our server, Tracey, was phenomenal! She was busy with other tables when we first sat down, but took the time to briefly stop by to let us know she'd be right with us. Throughout our meal she checked on us regularly, getting us more drinks, extra syrup, etc. Makes a huge difference in the dining experience. Also, she was super personable, laughing and chatting with us a bit. My party of three really liked her. Too bad we're from out of town or we'd be regulars. Two of us got the breakfast tower with pancakes. The pancakes were surprisingly light. The sausage links could have been cooked/crisped a little more, but that's a preference thing. I love eating at non corporate restaurants and this one is a gem. If I make it back to the area, I will definitely stop in. Great food. Stellar service.

Never had a bad meal here! So many items are clearly made fresh, in-house. They can get busy so I recommend checking in online before you go. When they are packed it can be a bit noisy. I only mention that so you don't expect intimate conversation. One of my all time favorite breakfast spots. I want to with my way through the entire menu.

Fun spot that was able to accommodate 15 people on a whim. They put us by the bathroom even though the restaurant was empty but that's ok. We had loud kids so that worked out. Everything was huge portions. Meatloaf was good and flavored. My Salisbury steak was huge but had no love seasoned on it.... Tasted more like hospital food where you have to add the salt and pepper. They are a scratch kitchen so everything is made in house so that's a plus.

This place is located on the backside of the mall which google maps wanted me to park and walk thru the mall to get to it even while it has exterior access doors. When my brother and me got here (Oct 25th 1130am) most staff was dressed up in halloween costumes which was pretty cool and had to be super hard for them to do. Some really got into it and their extensive costumes. The lady dressed up as Maleficent even had wings on which was really cool and i voted for her in their contest! We sat at the bar proper although the business was not too busy but still pretty bustling with activity. The food was alright. Nothing to rant and rave about but nothing to complain about either. Although my brother did think there would be more bacon themed entrees. I didnt get a chance but the desserts in the display DID look awesome so i will probably be back to try out a few of those.

Absolutely the best diner ever! Walking in the staff is super friendly and you are greeted by a case filled with pastries baked on premises. You don't feel like you're in a mall at this awesome storefront. Everything was fantastic beginning with the bacon infused Bloody Marys. I had to buy a couple bottles of the mix to take home. Huge fluffy pancakes. Awesome salads. Wonderful lox and bagels. Chicken fried chicken perfectly cooked with bacon gravy. You should be sure to plan breakfast or lunch at this awesome restaurant.

People.....this place!! First time here, now a lifetime fan!! We are always looking for new places with safe, yummy gluten free options for my sweet hubby! We found it here!! Yes, there is an upcharge per gluten free item. No, I don't care! It's worth it. I would say 90% of their menu can be made GF, which is amazing. What is even more amazing is how good it tastes! Tracy was wonderful with information and suggestions, very much appreciated. We will be back again....soon!!

First time eating here. Our server (Zeke?) was great, he knows his stuff and is friendly too. Anyway, I did the lumberjack and the wife did chicken and waffles. Both were super yummy. The wife also ordered a side of the Canadian bacon which went well with my biscuit if I do say so myself. They serve breakfast all day so if you like breakfast any time, any day then you will love this place. Inside is comfortable and there are several TV's with your favorite games on so you can still eat and not miss your game. Overall I loved that the food was fresh made from scratch.

Third visit and still amazing! The food is a notch above! Service spectacular.. everything we order is better than the last!! Best home fries anywhere ! Chefs kiss

What a DELICIOUS spot for BRUNCH!! Located In the outskirts of the Country Side Mall, this is a must-to if you're in the area. Checked in online, and we were seated right away, and started with $2 dollar flavored mimosas. It's very modern, clean, and well lit inside. Customer service is great and you can tell that the employees, enjoy their jobs. I had the 1/2 Bacon Chicken Waffle Tower w/Maple Bacon Cream Puff on the top! Sooooo good, and great combo of flavors of savory/sweet and honestly the best bacon I have ever had at a place. The Maple Bacon is caramelize, which gives it a great texture and flavor! My wife had the Apple Cinnamon French Toast! It has, powdered sugar, warm cinnamon apples and bacon bits sprinkled on top of the whip cream, I had a bite and was blown away! Service is quick, and the location is great, if you just want to look around the mall after. What an amazing brunch! Like my boy Arnold said.."I'll be back"

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food is fantastic, I love the chicken and waffles. Service is excellent. One of my favorites of all time.

I had been wanting to try this spot based on previous Yelp reviews and finally found the time - They are located in the Countyside Mall and while the restaurant itself is easily accessible from the outside, the parking is horrendous! We finally found something a good walking distance away and were seated right away. I ordered the 1/2 BOLT (bacon, onion, lettuce, tomato) & 1/2 house salad. I didn't understand the need for the onion and removed it. Lots of bacon, though...the salad was not good, the lettuce was a bit wilted and there were some brown bits. DH ordered the fish sandwich with a cup of the tomato bisque. The sandwich was good, albeit he ordered grilled and it came fried, the "soup" on the other hand, was just gross! It was t soup at all, it had the consistency of spaghetti sauce and while I refused to taste it, DH said it tasted like marinara. We mentioned the soup to our server and she took it off the bill, then the manager came over and apologized. I believe the other reviews, but this was a 3 star experience for us and we won't be back.

This was the best breakfast experience I've had in a long time! It will definitely be on the itinerary each time I visit Tampa! We ordered two meals and shared. We still left with enough food for days! The waitress was great. The service was quick. They catered to all! And YES...$1.00 mimosas on Saturday and Sunday! Great ambiance! It checked all boxes!!!

I love this place!!! My very first order... several months back I paid to upgrade my side to soup. We received a very tiny dressing container of soup. Well, I commented on that when I reviewed them. They messaged me to call them but, I saw it during dinner time & did not feel it was appropriate to call at that time so, I thanked them & said I'd call later. They sent a credit to my DD account to fix the soup mixup. The manager even messaged saying I was right, it was a mixup. That to me said a lot. They truly care about customer satisfaction. Since then we have ordered probably 10-12 times. Every single thing is delicious!! I love the bacon quesadilla but I add grilled chicken to it. It's not the precooked strips, it's a real chicken breast grilled & cut up in the Bacon Quesadilla. The Chicke Strips Dinner was also good. Chicken strips are a chicken breast cut up, breaded & fried. They're not heavily breaded & have great flavor. I also added a side of French Fries they were a bit soggy but I'm sure it's due to the plastic container. They were still good. The mashed potatoes with white gravy are fire!!! Yum! I really need to try their biscuits & gravy. I feel everything here is fresh & made from scratch. If not, whoever they purchase from sure makes it look that way. I do wish I could substitute the dressing that comes with the Bacon Quesadilla. I don't care for that dipping sauce but it was only $1 to add a Side of Jalapeno Ranch which was just as good as everything else. If you haven't tried this place you're missing out.

Amazing , our waiter was super sweet and funny aswell , I didn't expect it to be this amazing but definitely recommend it's soooooooo good

Found this place bc we needed a bloody Mary and we were going to see a movie. This place is in the mall with the movie theater so it worked out perfect. Service was great. Friendly staff, and the food was perfect. The Bacon Bloody Mary was awesome. Super cute place, with cookies and pies and more. Can't wait to go again.

Truly amazing food! Who doesn't love bacon? The diner feel is great and I love the combinations they created. We thought it would be nice to have small bottles of the hot sauce they sell. That would encourage people to take the plunge for such a large hot sauce bottle.

We went to brunch with my parents. Same as last time, the staff was amazing, the food tasted wonderful and it just felt really good to hang out with family. Shannon was an excellent waitress!!!!

We ordered to-go. The food when we got home was still bussin'! We got the biscuits and gravy & chicken w biscuits- both were fantastic. Portion sizes were perfect for the price. Interior was a good vibe with a bar. Friendly service! We will be back again and can't wait to sit down and eat here!

We were looking for a brunch spot that would meet everyone's food needs, and this place popped up. It's located inside the mall, and as you walk in, you're greeted by the cookie and pie counter. Super dangerously tempting before you even sit down. Our first interaction was a little bumpy. We were told to wait, and there was some confusion about who was first for a table. But then our waitress, Shannon, completely turned the experience around. She was sweet, patient, and shared how almost everything on the menu is made from scratch. The food was incredible. The Chicken Parmesan was freshly made--hands down the best I've ever had. The Chicken Bacon Waffle Tower was as gorgeous as it was tasty: crispy, crunchy chicken paired with waffles that had the perfect texture. Perfect meal, great service, and Shannon truly made the experience memorable. Definitely recommend!!!!!

Tracy was lovely , portions were great. Had the burger and it was super delightful. Of course a pie to go

I tried Bacon Street Diner due to the reviews and was VERY happy with the decision. I had lox bagel, some fresh squeezed orange juice and a side pancake. That was one delicious meal! Great service, family type atmosphere, reasonable prices. Like the Terminator, I'll be back.

Excellent food, excellent service! Our server, Sydney was amazing! Will definitely be back!

This diner is a fever dream for those that went through (or are still living) the bacon obsessed era of the early 2000's Silly bacon signs and sayings grace every inch of this restaurant, but there's much more to this place than just bacon worshiping! There were tables of kids teams, along with girlies getting a nice brunch together. Their menu has something for everyone with happy hour $1 mimosas, omelets, chicken and waffles, and lots of gluten free breakfast options! We were seated promptly and our server was very friendly. The lox Benedict was solid and we loved the gluten free waffles and pancakes. The gluten free chicken strip was such a treat since you don't often see them on menus. If you're looking for an indulgent, bacon-filled gluten free breakfast - this is the place for you!

Food was awesome as was Tracy our server and the manager was very friendly as well ! My veggie Bennie and my husbands Bday Lumberjack with a free bday cookie were fantastic !

Great spot for brunch! The portions are huge and the food is delicious. Service here is very friendly too! This place is a bit on the pricier side for breakfast though, but it's worth it. I ordered the build your own omelet and my mom got the lox with gluten free bread. Both were delicious.

Zeke was the best server. We had a delicious meal and he was very attentive. The best waffles

Food was so good. This was our second visit. We did dinner the time before. Shannon was our waitress. Very nice, accommodating, and efficient. Food was hot. One of my favorite Clearwater eateries.

I hope tht Bacon Street fares better than the last few restauratns that have failed in this spot. The problem here is that its a very busy part of Westfield Mall and parking anywhere close can be tricky. I've eaten here a few times and always been pleased with the food and the service. It's not necessarily a place that I will crave, but if others want to go I have no issue. I tend to like the breakfast items more than the lunch items, but that might just be me. The menu is quite varied. The bacon, of course, is good. Most items are also served with a small bacon puff pastry that is fun. Another plus is that the place is pretty large and isn't overstuffed with tables. You never feel too crowded--which is appreciated.

Family-owned, scratch kitchen, incredible food, outstanding service, & strong coffee...what more could one ask for in a breakfast joint? Danielle, owner, is wonderful. Pumpkin pancakes are amazing and available year-round. Don't leave without a pie!

Been here two times so far. First time was pancakes and bacon. They were very good. Went back with a large group of people from TAS Brotherhood. We shared a poutine which was phenomenal. I went with The California chicken breast with cheese and vegetables. It was really really delicious. Specially for eating healthy. The owner came over. She was very friendly, very appreciative and we had a wonderful time. Can't wait to come back.

A solidly good option in the Clearwater/Dunedin area. Super easy to access right off 19 & it's attached to the mall so if you're doing some shopping, this is an easy and unique stop in. We came right when they opened on Black Friday, they were a bit understaffed, I guess they didn't expect the crowd. They were polite about it, said only a few minutes, but it still took us maybe thirty minutes to be seated. I got an iced coffee with caramel which I enjoyed! A bit sad to hear they just changed from Coke to Pepsi products though that didn't affect me today. I ordered the Bacon Lover special. Pros: my eggs were cooked perfectly over medium, the biscuits made in house are absolutely delicious, the bacon was the perfect texture (as it should be). Cons: I paid extra for pumpkin pancakes and didn't feel they had enough pumpkin flavor to make the price worth it at all. They were HUGE though. And the canadian bacon had a weird texture that was not great. My husband and family members enjoyed their meals.

** 5/5** **Bacon Street Diner - Comfort Food Done Right!** Startkmb girls day the right way by stopping by Bacon Street Diner and had the biscuits and gravy - absolutely hit the spot! The biscuits were fluffy and buttery, and the gravy was rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. Definitely one of the better versions I've had in a while. What made the experience even better was our waitress, Mary. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. As a sweet bonus, we had dollar mimosas!! If you're in the mood for classic comfort food with great service, Bacon Street Diner is worth the visit. Ask for Mary

This place is 100% amazing!! Come in for breakfast and stay for mimosas and lunch. I've have several things from this menu and they're all delicious. Don't miss the Bacon Super Slaw!! This is a family owned place and the service will make you feel like part of the family. If you've not been here, you need to be! The cookies are equally wonderful. Take some to go on the way out!

Summer was super friendly and the food was OUTSTANDING. Biscuits and gravy were on point and the small filled me to the brim.

This place is amazing!!! Located in the old Bar Louie spot at Countryside, you'll find this new-ish gem. Came here on a Wednesday afternoon so it wasn't too busy. You'll probably encounter some parking issues because it's in the mall. Very good spot for gluten free customers! Highly recommend the chicken and waffles. Coffee was great, too.

If you're going to be bold enough to put bacon in your name , you need to offer a quality of bacon that does not taste and look like "microwave bacon". On the positive ....The service was greet, very attentive and friendly , and the waffle that came with the "microwave bacon " was good. We were enter by to pick something up otherwise we wouldn't have gone to a " mall" restaurant. Don't go out of your way for this but if you're already here, just don't get a bacon dish and you might be fine.

What can I say? This is place is hands down the best diner in the Tampa Bay Area. Danielle and her team do an amazing job and this place is like a best kept secret that everyone should know about! I had the corned beef skillet and I can honestly it's the best I've ever had. Delicious homemade corned beef with Hand cut potatoes(not the garbage frozen ones), sautéed onions and bell pepper, then topped off with two medium eggs = Perfection! The attention to detail is amazing and the home made corned beef is to die for. So many places get it wrong by serving premade corned beef, but Mary makes her own brine and slow cooks it for hours! Oh, and she also makes her own blueberry jam to go with the Toast!(more details) So good! They get everything right from the friendly staff, clean restaurant, and amazing food. If you live in Tampa, consider yourself lucky. My previous visit, I had the Ruben and it was amazing too. Now I can't decide what I like better. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes. If Triple D is reading this, Guy needs to check this place out!!!!

as far as a breakfast diner is concerned inside a mall this place is amazing. we got seated right away. It's a spacious place. They have cookies at the front and lots of pies. Very clean. Service was good. We got the French toast where they have homemade bread and I will say it was delicious. I did upgrade to the natural syrup which I recommend. The French toast came with butter and strawberries, I opted out of the powdered sugar, but they had whipped cream. My daughter even loved it. My husband got the eggs Benedict, which he liked as well. They have a very extensive breakfast and lunch menu and lots of dessert options. They also have pretty good kids menu. It's a fun, relaxed easy place. It's a nice diner and as far as diners go it's five stars

We came in from Houston today, Did a little planning for GF restaurants ahead of the trip. Bacon Street did not disappoint. The food was great and the GF options were plenty. I'll be back, this trip of the next one. The waitress was great as well, was patient with us explaining things and just nice & friendly, just perfect . Sorry, I forgot her name .........old man disease:( Go there, you won't be disappointed! Robin O

Came here about 4 months ago the poutine frys where amazing, came here again and they where really bad. Over salted and old, the gravy was even a darker color from last time? I couldn't even finish the frys. The first picture is from my first experience the second is from yesterday.

Looking for a new place for brunch Deb found this place. A bit of a drive from St Pete but why not. It's in the countryside mall and the parking on this Saturday was so bad. The area where you park to come straight in is small and where everyone parks to go to the restaurants so it was packed. Had to park on the other side and walk through the mall. So the place really captures the diner feel. It doesn't feel like you are in a mall at all. We grabbed a high top by the window. Really nice. Lots a great sounding choices. I had the Western bacon burger. Very good burger blend. For me it needed a little more sauce but great flavors. Deb had the BOLT sans onion. I tried it with the onion and it definitely added a nice layer of flavor. Really great place with very friendly folks, solid food and good prices.

The bartenders were the greatest! Very excellent at making great bloody's! My breakfast was absolutely delicious. I love a good southern breakfast with great drinks and this was the spot! The ambiance was very upscale yet down to earth. The place was packed around 12 but died out around 1 PM. Parking was great too. Our food took a tad bit longer and the manager was extremely curious and came out to apologize to us. No big deal! Thanks so much

Their food is delicious, always warm, perfect hostess and waitresses and staff very friendly and helpful

We came here when they first opened on a Sunday. It is a huge restaurant with a big menu. They like to integrate bacon in their dishes but as someone who does not like pork bacon I still was able to find something to eat. I am glad we got here when it first opened because it quickly fills up on a busy Sunday. The one thing that stood out was how good their house coffee was! Very nice quality. I got the breakfast trio with French toast. The portions are generous and the food is good. If you get the pancakes they are huge! They serve breakfast all day too.
