Reviews for I Smell Bacon

Breakfast here consistently impresses with generous portions and well-prepared dishes like the big omelette, biscuits and sausage gravy, and fried steak and eggs. The service is friendly and efficient, even when busy, and the atmosphere feels like a welcoming hometown diner. Despite being small and unassuming, the food quality and value make it a worthwhile stop for anyone passing through the area.

Standing out in the breakfast scene can be challenging, but I Smell Bacon truly shines with its delicious offerings. The chocolate gravy is a family favorite, even for those who aren't big on sweets. Be prepared for a wait during peak times, but the service and food quality make it worth it.

My favorite diner. Staff is friendly and efficient. Everything is great. My favorites are the breakfast special, omelet, and the chilli burger.

Stopped for gas between TX and IL and saw sign that said "I Small Bacon" and had to stop. Great, great diner and diner food. At 4 am pans of fresh biscuits were coming out of the oven. The staff were friendly and very efficient at their jobs. Food was great. I need to buy another car in TX so I can stop for more biscuits with side of bacon.
