Barrel & Bacon — Restaurant in Seattle

A unique casual dining spot that offers a near perfect marriage of Filipino flavors to the favorite American food: burgers and fried chicken. Ube, the favorite asian yam, is ever present on their offerings.

I got the drink on the special menu: up up and Ube. The coconut flavor is reminiscent of piña colada, a sweet tropical concoction that transports you to a warm and sunny beach front. In hind sight, I think next time I'll try other cocktails that don't share the same sweet notes as their food.

We started with the sinful tots. As big fans of tots and fries, these are exceptionally yummy covered in cheese and bacon jam. To be fair, few things can taste bad covered in bacon jam.

For main dishes we got the Ube waffles and chicken, and the B&B signature burger (on brioche instead of the regular pretzel bun). The chicken katsu is as delicious as is looks on the many review pictures. Crunchy without being dry. The ube waffle was ok, as we prefer crunchier texture, but it has good ube flavor.

My burger was cooked perfectly and wonderfully covered in onion jam... I think by now you get the drift that the very clever operator here sets themselves apart with these delicious jams. A slight negative was the salad was overdressed.

We saw some incredible desserts being served by the portions of our meals are so generous we just didn't have room for them.

Service here was very prompt and super friendly. Fun music, kind of sports bar vibe.

You can tell this restaurant was built with lots of love and care. It shows in their food and atmosphere. We are already planning to go back to try...

My husband and I loved Barrel and Bacon for a date night. We will for sure be back soon even though we do not live close by, it’s that good! Coming here for a girls date would also be perfect. The atmosphere is relaxing and classy, mellow yet high end. To start off we ordered cocktails and beer. The selection of beers on tap is great, I believe there were at least 3 IPA’s available. All 3 of the cocktails I had were different and absolutely delicious. We sat at the bar top and it’s super cool being able to see the cocktails being made and garnished with such precision. The picture I posted is of the dirty chai espresso martini. It was so good and the essence of orange was perfect. To eat we had a pretzel with cheese, sinful tots and a truffles n bacon burger. Everything was yummy, the burger was cooked to our liking. The tots are the most crave-able tots I have ever had. The flavor combo is something I haven’t ever had before and me and my husband will be back for those for sure! From the bar top we could hear/see the owners greeting every customer who walked in right away. The attention to all customers and details is something you cannot find just anywhere anymore. I highly recommend this spot for a great time, great service, great drinks,...

I’ve been here twice now in the last few weeks and tried various menu items and not a single one disappointed!!

The katsu chicken & waffles was beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined flavor-wise, the ube french toast was incredibly delectable and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet. Super well balanced and amazing! I’ve also tried the sinful tots, elote riblets (the cilantro pesto was an incredible touch), b&b burger, crab mac, pretzel and Nutella and the newest dessert item-the shortcake. Everything has exceeded my expectations so far and the presentation is great.

As for cocktails I’ve tried the chai old fashioned, blueberry sour and the ube drink. All very well crafted, balanced and presented.

Service is 1000/10 and the owners, Roxane and Gary (also bartender) are the sweetest and most humble, down to earth people and a great representation and face of their restaurant.

I will definitely be back regularly and recommend this place and their unique faire and craft cocktails to anyone looking for a...
