    Hmm, bacon or sausage?

    • @ForsettaLuminosa
      @ForsettaLuminosa Рік тому +1

      Sausage
      Both are tasty 😋

    • @danielcampos1049
      @danielcampos1049 Рік тому +1

      Depends on the sausage. If it’s like your standard patty, bacon always. But some places have goooooood sausage and don’t overcook it 👌

    • @laurablassberg8559

      Bacon

    • @karmas_coming

      Both. But I prefer link sausage.

    • @ingridbrandt7710
      @ingridbrandt7710 Рік тому +2

      Sausage IF it’s extra good quality! Otherwise, bacon is more reliable.

    Oh Shin, you really should have sent the Biscuits & Gravy back….since that oily, separated gravy truly is unacceptable! I hate to send back food, but sometimes one really should. You could have switched it for another entree.

    • @VegaswithShin
      @VegaswithShin  Рік тому +1

      To be honest, I haven't had anything that was truly disgusting in my videos so far so it's not a stretch for me to stay relatively positive. Everything I've had is edible to me, though that's probably more because I'm not a picky eater and I really do just eat everything lol. Thanks for watching!

    Tough business when there is a defined theme and to have the “wow” experience seemed to be missing here. With that……bacon, bacon and more bacon ❤. Best of luck to them as they refine their menu. You never disappoint and continued success.

    • @VegaswithShin
      @VegaswithShin  Рік тому +2

      I agree. The theme definitely forces their hand in some ways. But I was still able to get some decent food here so they do have some good stuff going on. Thanks for watching!

    • @VegaswithShin
      @VegaswithShin  Рік тому +2

      It was definitely novel for sure lol. If they just made it a normal sandwich and reduced the bacon by about a third I think it would have made a killer BLT. Thanks for watching!

    I've been here 3 times to give it a fair chance over the past year since it opened last fall. While the food is okay (not great), the service was disgustingly bad twice. Like being directed to a table and waiting 15 minutes for any service whatsoever. This happened once at the bar too. There are too many other options downtown.

    • @VegaswithShin
      @VegaswithShin  Рік тому

      Oof, now that's unfortunate. My service levels were just fine so I didn't really have any complaints there. But there are a lot of really great options downtown. I'd eat at Bacon Nation if I was already staying at the D and was feeling lazy about going out to get some food. Thanks for watching!

    Kind of ironic that most of the bacon food items were just ok while the non bacon items were delicious in a restaurant called “Bacon Nation” . But seriously $17 for 3 slices of bacon is ridiculous. I remember ordering bacon with my breakfast at a restaurant and it said it came with 2 slices of bacon. But when my breakfast arrived, there was only one slice of bacon that was cut it in two. Point being…bacon needs to be on the stock exchange as a commodity now. Ha Ha!

    Appreciate your reviews but… you just said “ I don’t know if I would go out of my way to come to Bacon Nation”……… do you know what you just did to their business?

      EVERY restaurant guest gets to decide what they think of the meal & report to friends and family. Reviewers are no exception…Shin is always polite and honest in his reviews, and we are here for it.

      He's being honest. What's wrong with that? Should he have lied? He's a reviewer. I appreciate his honesty!

    The restaurant and food item reviews are appreciated but the giant mouthful bites are a turn off.

      It's how I eat. Appreciate the feedback though!

    Shin, literally the one food I've hated my entire life is bacon. I don't know what it is.🫣 The scampi was so random but looked awesome.

      Yes, randomly the shrimp scampi was actually very good! I was not expecting that. Thanks for watching!
