Bake'n Bacon Philadelphia

"This beloved bacon-themed restaurant goes all out for a bar-only happy hour with plates of bacon burnt ends, pork spareribs with a bacon caramel sauce, deconstructed hangin’ bacon, and $10 cocktails (such as their Liquid Gold made with vodka, triple sec, agave, and lemon). Happy hour runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. from Friday through Sunday." - Ernest Owens, Erika Adams

"This small plate, featuring five strips of thick bacon hanging from a miniature rack above five pieces of savory cornbread, is visually appealing and flavorful." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"A dynamic dish, this sharable plate of five strips of thick bacon hanging from a miniature rack above five pieces of savory cornbread is simultaneously unforgettable and tasty." - Ernest Owens

"“Loaded” almost feels like an understatement when it comes to the french fries at Bake’n Bacon. This heaping helping of fried potatoes is adorned with bacon and brisket, a creamy cheese sauce, jalapeños, and drizzled with ranch dressing." - George Banks-Weston

"Bake’n Bacon, which started as a food truck specializing in gourmet bacon sandwiches, gained popularity quickly, and in 2023, owners Justin Coleman and Kelvin Alexander opened a brick-and-mortar in South Philadelphia. While bacon may be the star here, the team also serves epic takes on french fries and mac and cheese." - George Banks-Weston
