Bacon & Butter — Restaurant in Sacramento

The overall experience getting seated was disorganized and is what put me off from this place. So I'll start with that first. They don't take reservations so they have one line to put your name on the list on one side of the restaurant. They text you when they are ready to seat you, and you have to go to the other side of the restaurant to wait in a line with a sign that says wait here. My group gets the text to go in line, so we do and mind you there are like 5-7 parties in this line to get seated. We are standing all the way out next to the boxing gym. We wait until we are next in line and when we finally reach the front, we say the name of the party. The guy hears the name and says he's been calling our party for 20 minutes so he cancellled our table. The entire experience was just odd. Why have a line for people to line up to get seated? Why not just say, check in with the hostess? The line is a confusing concept and it goes so far out that you cannot hear the hostess and it's not like they are going down the line either to check for parties. The entire seating situation is just chaotic. The guy who was seating was nice enough to still seat us after checking in with the server for an outside table. But what really put me off was he was telling other parties that our group wasn't paying attention and so he has to seat us first before they can seat them. No, how about you have a confusing system and we were lined up down your building and couldn't hear. You told us you cancelled our table after we were next in line to get seated. Literally everyone was in line and they were seating in that order. Just odd. So tip, if you get the text to get seated, check in with the hostess and don't wait in line.

Server was very sweet and nice and the best thing about this place.

I got the chicken and waffles. Dry chicken, flavorless, and pretentious syrup with tiny orange slice. Honestly tasted like perfume. We had to ask for regular syrup. Nothing special.

Would try this place again but the experience in the beginning just didn't sit...

Bacon & Butter have discriminatory seating practices for pregnant woman, infants and families. I will not stand for it.

My family has been frequenting Bacon and Butter for a while, and we have generally enjoyed the experience. However, our recent visit 6/1/24 was extremely disappointing, especially as it was my best friend’s family’s first time.

We arrived at 11:30 AM to put our names on the waitlist and were told it would be a 30-45 minute wait. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting for an hour. When our name finally came up, we stood by the door, only to be told by the host that they were waiting for a high chair. Meanwhile, we watched as several other families were seated before us.

What made the situation worse was the fact that we had a pregnant woman and a toddler standing in the heat, as it was around 90 degrees in the middle of the day. Despite this, the host seated another family, claiming we had missed our name, which was not true as we clearly heard it and we were all standing in front of him.

In an attempt to get my pregnant friend out of the sun, some of our party opted to sit outside, like many other families with babies. My mother eventually asked to speak with a manager, but the staff refused to bring the manager out. Finally, at 1 PM, we were seated inside.

This place does not have accommodations for families, and it shows in their layout, forcing families with young children and babies to sit outside. Overall, this was a terrible experience for us, particularly given the circumstances of having a pregnant woman and a toddler in our party. The lack of communication, the refusal to accommodate us in a timely manner, and the dismissive attitude of the staff were incredibly disappointing. We hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves their service.

I will no longer spend my money at places that are not good to their community of people. Wish I could give a zero. You guys may have great food but please work on your...

Bacon & Butter is the ultimate weekend brunch spot in Sacramento, and it never disappoints. Yes, it’s super busy, so be ready to wait, but trust me—it’s all part of the experience, and absolutely worth it. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the buzz of happy diners and the smell of incredible food being made fresh in the kitchen.

The seating is cozy, with both indoor and outdoor options, but tables are close together, so it’s not a place for quiet brunching. Instead, it’s got a fun, lively vibe that makes you feel like you’re in the heart of a bustling brunch haven.

Now, the food is where Bacon & Butter truly shines. The Grilled Cheese Benedict is a game-changer—imagine a melty grilled cheese topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. It’s rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, the Apple Pie French Toast is out of this world, with thick slices of French toast piled high with spiced apples and syrup that tastes like dessert for breakfast. Their Spring Omelet is another standout, filled with fresh seasonal veggies and showcasing their commitment to locally sourced ingredients.

Don’t sleep on the drinks, either. They’ve got a great selection of mimosas, from the classic orange to fun twists like kiwi, strawberry, or even blood orange with pineapple and passion fruit (try the Corazonosa—you won’t regret it). And if you’re more of a beer person, the Michelada is a standout, made with their signature aged Bloody Mary mix and a splash of PBR.

Bacon & Butter is the kind of place that keeps you coming back for the food, the vibe, and the experience. Sure, it’s busy, but the energy, creativity, and pure joy on every plate make it a Sacramento brunch spot you can’t miss. Just show up hungry and ready for...
