With a name like Bacon Social House, you already know you’re in for a pork-forward party. Their Signature Bacon Flight is a can’t-miss: six thick-cut strips in flavors like pecanwood smoked, French toast-candied, chile lime, barbecue, and a rotating Bacon of the Month. The vibe is modern and fun, and if you’re leaning sweet, the Carrot Cake Pancakes, drizzled with cream cheese glaze, make the perfect partner to your salty favorites.

Half ground bacon, half ground beef – Slater’s famous 50/50 patty is the stuff of bacon legend. The boldest move? Order the Donut Burger, where that meaty marvel is sandwiched between two glazed donuts and served with a side of crispy tater tots. Their drink menu leans into the theme, too. Try the Maple Bacon Old Fashioned or the towering Bacon Bloody Mary for a boozy bite of brunch.

Home of the trademarked Millionaire’s Bacon, Sweet Maple elevates bacon to luxury status. These extra-thick slices are slow-cooked with brown sugar, a touch of cayenne, and sometimes flavored with citrus orange and cinnamon chipotle. Order the bacon sampler platter to try them all, and don’t skip the deep-fried French toast for a decadent, craveable combo.

Yes, there’s a bacon flight. Yes, there’s chocolate-dipped bacon. And yes, it’s every bit as indulgent as it sounds. Bacon Nation in Las Vegas offers half-inch-thick house-cured strips in flavors like lemon pepper, honey sriracha, black truffle, and more. Wash it down with a mimosa or bacon Bloody Mary, and don’t leave without the Brûlée Bacon Donut – Bavarian cream-filled and finished with a torched sugar crust and crumbled bacon.

At Bacon Bacon in San Francisco’s Cole Valley (or the food truck in Mission Bay), you can literally buy a bouquet of candied bacon. The food truck and café crank out over-the-top bacon creations like bacon fries with bacon jam and parmesan, bacon-fried chicken with a smoky crust and bacon mayo, and sandwiches slathered with (you guessed it) more bacon. 

Whether you’re a bad bitch or just a hungry one, Bacon Bitch delivers every time. Start with the Bacon & Doughnuts: fresh donut holes tossed with bacon, powdered sugar, and honey drizzle. Craving something savory? Go for the Curvy, a stacked bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. Don’t skip the Bloody Mary (a meal on its own) – it comes crowned with three Niman Ranch bacon slices, a hash brown, and a fried egg.

Come for the bacon, stay for the vibes. At Kaiser Tiger, the bacon board is the star, four gourmet cuts served with toasted bread and house mustards. Pair it with the Beer and Bacon Sausage, made with pork, bacon, and house lager, topped with beer mustard. Grab a brew, claim a seat on the spacious patio, and cap it all off with a DIY s’mores kit and your own tabletop fire.

Born from a retro Airstream food truck, Skillet Diner now anchors its Seattle locations with a brunch menu that’s anything but basic. The standout? Bacon jam. It’s smoky, savory, and slightly sweet – you’ll find it slathered on their signature Jam Burger and shaken into their Bacon Jam Bloody Mary, made with bacon-infused vodka and rimmed with bacon salt.
