Bacon — Restaurant in Novato

Definitely one of the go-to breakfast spots in Novato. Their menu is quite large, with something for everyone. Eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, breakfast meat, frittatas (which are basically scrambles), and delicious homemade jams/preserves that they also have for sale. Sandwiches - hot and cold varieties - burgers, salads, and alcoholic beverages. The servers dress very nicely and the presentation of the food is great. The fries come in a little metal basket that sits atop your plate.

Every time I've gone (which is maybe three or four times now), I've gotten the Turkey Supreme. Applewood smoked bacon, roasted deli turkey, tomato, spring mix greens, garlic aioli - served on a fresh Torta roll. It doesn't disappoint. I think boyfriend gets a frittata, he loves breakfast. Once I asked a guy at the next table if the pancakes were worth it. He said yes and Holy Cow, he was right. I think the only thing lacking is the flavor of the fries; they're kind of flavorless and bland. They just need some seasoning.

Sidenote: When Bacon first opened a few years ago, they were doing breakfast/lunch in the morning, and a few days a week they were doing Vietnamese food in the evening. My mom and I always intended to try their Vietnamese, but alas, we never got the chance. After a few months, or maybe it was more like six, Bacon stopped doing evening Vietnamese. According to reviews, their Vietnamese was delicious... maybe it's better I never got the...

Historic Novato has many great restaurants for brunch and we just picked the one with the shortest line at the door. Bacon is a cute cafe with interesting art on the walls and a small outdoor seating area. I ordered a ribeye and fried egg sandwich and my daughter ordered scrambled eggs with cheese and a side of bacon. The place was busy but there wasn’t a long wait to be seated. We could tell it was a family owned restaurant and it looked like the entire family working and some friends too. My sandwich and fries were served hot and tasted good except for the bacon that was practically raw. My daughter’s eggs were much over cooked with a little cheese sprinkled on top and browned. She had told the waitress she like her scrambled eggs soft and damp so these were a major disappointment. Especially after waiting 50 minutes for our food to arrive. The waitress never came back. We waited so long for our check, when I saw her bussing another table across the room, I walked over to her and she ignored me as she walked around and completed several chores with me behind her. She knew I was there though because she was making her way to the register to get my ticket. It was comical almost, if we hadn’t been there for over 2 hours at this point. Homemade jam was good. Employees were friendly albeit...

One of my Favorite spots in Novato!!! This small family owned restaurant is a go-to whenever I am in the mood for a great breakfast or lunch. Everything is made with care and I never get the feeling that things were slapped together in a rush.

When I go for breakfast I love the hash brown selections and I often add a side of fried chicken. It is amazing, they add something special to the batter that makes it amazing! If you haven't ever tried it, take the Millionaire's bacon out for a spin. what a treat!

If there for lunch their burgers don't disappoint (try the bacon burger).

One of the other things that I love about this place is that the owner and family donates a lot to community efforts. As a resident that has children in the school system I appreciate and will support a local business that reinvests in the community.

With that being said, what are you waiting for??? See you there!

Actually, this makes me hungry, I'm gonna have lunch there now :-)
