    Food and service was fantastic. However the facility needs a deep clean. Fixtures, partition between booths and bar area needs dusting and glass cleaned. Additionally, bottom of toilets and floors were very dusty. Cobwebs seen on light fixtures as well. The dust hasn’t been removed from these areas in some time as it is quite thick.

    This the second time we have been here and both times we waited over 40 minutes for our food. The food is average. I do like the atmosphere in the restaurant but overall I think it is average.

    We had an 1115 am brunch reservation. We stood and waited for a bit while they put tables together. Our server came after about 5 minutes to take a drink order. We didn’t get our food until 1:30pm!!! Our server “O” left us hanging for over 40 minutes between visits. We had to flag down another server to ask if he could send her back! We had to ask three times for simple things such as salt and pepper. The fruit for the kid was the last thing to come out after we were all done and ready to leave despite us reminding her three times. Such a sad first visit that we were all looking forward to. We were friendly and not rude but that didn’t make any difference. We won’t bother going back. There are many other options. The manager said oh too bad you already paid I could have made an adjustment! Really, we tipped way more than they deserved because we know people are trying to make a living. Just do better!!

    We went for brunch. The food as outstanding! The service was just ok. We had to ask multiple times for more coffee and we were among the first to arrive so it wasn’t busy at all. Overall great food and we would go again.

    We arrived about 20 minutes early for our reservation. We were seated right away. We ordered the sugar bacon & it was just ok. We placed our entree order & we waited. And we waited. After about 45 minutes we still didn’t have any food. We had to ask our server to check on it. He came back & told us the kitchen was backed up & it would be 10 more minutes. Another table received their food & they had only been there 20 minutes. We left & wont be back.

    We stopped by when they were having a shift change or something because, when the host sat us down she said the server will be right with us. Nobody came for like an hour so the host came back and said she will take our order. We got the Sugarbacon for appetizer and it was room temperature. The bacon was so hard and it was like chewing on cardboard. That was the only thing that came out. We had ordered a Cesar salad, sandwich, and truffle fries for the entree off of their brunch menu. None of that came out after we waited patiently. Nobody stopped by or anything, we could have just gotten up and left because it was so terrible. There was a table that got seated right after us when we came in. A family and some children. They got service immediately, the food came out, and they had left. All while we were still sitting there with just water wondering if we should go elsewhere. We called a person who looked like a server to ask if he can check where our food is. He explained that it was put on hold, that’s why we never got it. The manager came out and offered to comp our meal because we had ordered the Brunch menu and it was now serving from the dinner menu. So we didn’t want to bother getting food that was sitting in the heat lamp or something. It was a bummer and we had made a mistake by going here.

    we started with the signature Sugar Bacon pork belly. It was very good. We were disappointed the pork belly is no longer cubed. They were much better cubed. I had the ribeye tacos they were very good. The bartender made a great old fashion.

    Ordered grilled salmon. It was raw except around the edges. The asparagus that came with it was cold. That was the 3rd subpar meal I’ve had from SugarBacon. It was really good when the restaurant opened . Sorry to say we won’t be going back.

    Limited menu, food was ok. You feel like the chef was trying to make a statement because there was things added to your dish that were unnecessary. The table ordered a certain drink it came out totally different than any other bar, again overly done with extras and had to send back. Probably won’t be going back

    The food was fair. There was a bit too much going on with the various dishes. The service left something to be desired. The wait staff was very polite but very slow. There was a significant wait for our drinks and we waited over 10 minutes to get our check and had to request it twice.

    Crabcake was Devine. Brussels weren’t my favorite, I wish they were more descriptive about what I was ordering. They came out covered in a sweet sauce, mascarpone and walnuts. However my wife enjoyed them, I just prefer more a savory brussel. I had the pork chop which was pretty tough(I ordered medium, recommended), the flavor was decent. The side of cauliflower that it came with was amazing. Great atmosphere and very accommodating staff.

    Let me start by saying that this is one of our favorite places. Last night was less than pleasant. We started off by ordering the special old fashioned and a glass of the temperanillo wine. 15 minutes after ordering, the waitress comes back saying the wine was out and I would have to order something else. I ordered another type of wine and it was delivered to our table within 5 minutes. When my husband asked where his drink was, she responded that the bar was extremely busy. We knew this wasn’t true since I had just received my wine. My husband and I ordered the Sugarbacon as our appetizer. It was horrible - fatty, pieces were small, and not much flavor. If your restaurant is named after this dish, it should be the best thing on the menu. Next, we split the filet and had mashed potatoes and roasted cauliflower as our sides. After ordering, it took almost 25 minutes to receive our food. The steak was over cooked but it was good. The mashed potatoes were creamy and a nice compliment to the steak. The roasted cauliflower was horrible. It was so spicy that it was almost inedible. The waitress never came back by to ask how our food was. When we finally saw our waitress we had to ask for the check and then it took forever for her to return with it. Overall food was ok - not like normal. Service was horrible.

    Got seated when we showed up for reservation. Waiter recommended a nice sweet drink (Purple Haze) however the shrimp and grits were just okay, the roasted cauliflower was to spicy to enjoy, the cream corn was luke warm and then got cold in 4-5mins at the table. Waiter was kind, but only focused on bigger table.

    Evidently, there were a couple private parties, so we got poor service. Our server forgot us, and we waited 45 minutes to get our order taken! I asked to speak with a manager snd was told by the hostess it would be about 15 minutes before she could come to us. Fortunately, it was like 5 more minutes. We chatted with the manager who was AMAZING! She took our order immediately and about 15 minutes later our server came and apologized. Our food came out very quickly after that and we had AMAZING food! The manager was kind to give us a discount on our meal. We will definitely go back for a second try. I think we just hit them on an off day.

    Sugar Bacon always has great service! We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine, well prepared steak tacos and a really tasty and tender short rib. The charcuterie board was a good size and very tasty with a house ricotta that was delicious.

    We had a great time. It was a great atmosphere and the food was good. Chicken was a little over cooked and the veggies side could use some major work.. but everything else was amazing. Deviled eggs were great and the pork belly appetizer was ok. We had the roast chicken and Brussel sprouts were THE BEST thing we ate. We also had the truffle fries, mashed potatoes and creamed corn that were all good! Service was great, very friendly staff.

    Overall the food was fantastic, my only gripe was the choice of compote for the biscuits. It still made the biscuits pretty dry to eat. When I took the biscuits home to eat and I put regular jelly on it, it was sooo good. Maybe considered having packages of jelly as an option instead of just the compote.

    We loved it. We had a party of 6 and we were seating within minutes of arrival and treated like royalty by our server. The food was incredible and the drinks were served with excitement and great delivery. The smoked old fashioned was a huge hit with the guys. Highly recommend the hummus, fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, short rib, filet mignon, and shrimp and grits! (That's what all we ordered and some of sampled each other's plates!)
