My husband and I took this weekend and went to pick up our new-to-us car.  It was in Greenville, SC.  Six hours away.  My husband truly, truly, loves me!  Only he would say sure honey, you found a screaming deal on a car that’s six hours away, and even though I hate driving like it’s the plague, let’s go!

When I found the car and decided that this was the one, I had already started looking up reviews for restaurants in the area.  Bacon Bros. Public House was rated very highly by almost everyone who rated it.  We found out why.  It was amazing people!

We finished up the car business about 12:30 on Saturday and headed right over.  There was one couple in front of us to be seated, so we only waited, literally, a couple of minutes.  While we were waiting for the hostess (is it hostess if it’s a man?!?, please excuse me I have no idea what I am talking about) to come back and seat us we had another person come over and ask if we had been waited on yet.  Great service right from the front door.

As soon as we were seated our waitress brought over a bottle of water for our table.  It was lovely.  It tasted slightly of lemon.  Of course I forgot to take a picture of it, but it looked kind of like this, but a darker green:

We ordered an appetizer of Cornmeal Fried Pickles with smoked onion ranch dipping sauce.  YUM.  They were awesome.  My husband commented, can you imagine if they did this with green tomatoes?  Heaven.

I ordered The Burger.  And Onion Rings.  Oh my Lord, people.  I seriously cannot tell you in words how wonderful this thing was.  I told our server that it had to be the best burger I have eaten in my life.  And I was serious.  I mean it is made with ground chuck, ground briskett, and GROUND BACON! with pickles, cheese and a special sauce.  I had to deconstruct it to eat it is was so massive.  It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.  Sorry about that visual.

The onion rings were beer battered and so, so good.  But it was the ketchup that sets them apart by a mile.  The menu said sorghum ketchup.  It was divine.  If you’re from the south you know what sorghum is.  It has been used here for eons as a sweetener in the place of honey.  It is ambrosia.  And I’m going to make my husband replicate it because I can’t be driving 6 hours to get my new ketchup fix.

Denton got their BBQ Sampler with fries and collard greens.  He was in heaven.  It comes with ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and sausage.  I tasted everything on his plate and it made me wish I could duplicate myself just so I could have his too. Everything on his platter was amazing, but I LOVED the pulled pork.  Brisket is usually my choice if we are eating barbecue, and it was glorious, but I can’t even begin to tell you how exquisite that pulled pork was.  The smoke was perfect and I could have eaten all of it and foundered myself if he hadn’t guarded it from me.  The ribs were perfect and let me tell you that’s hard to accomplish.  We’ve eaten a lot of BBQ over the years and it’s not everyone who can make a perfect rib.  Denton’s daddy can.  It’s hard to do.

The sausage was really good too.  I have never tasted sausage like it.  We asked and our server told us what it was a Portuguese sausage called Linguica.  Weird, but good!  Now I have to confess, I do not like collard greens.  Gasp, I know!  How can I be from the south!  That’s what Denton’s family thinks!  My family loves mustard greens.  So when I get the itch to eat greens, that’s what I prefer.  But even the collard’s were amazing.  Especially when he put the house sauce on them.  Yum!  Denton was in heaven.

Their curing room is on display for everyone to see and it was pretty incredible.

Even the bathroom was pretty.  And clean!  I don’t know what the men’s room looked like, but I’m sure it was pretty too!

One of the things that really impressed me was the napkins.  They were so, so soft.  I wanted to hide them in my purse and bring them home.  I would love to have the source so that I can order them for my house.

If Denton and I were rating this restaurant, we agree that it’s a 20 out of 10.  It’s that good people.  If you are ever in Greenville, SC or really anywhere NEAR there you have to go and check this place out.  You will not be sorry, and you’ll get a fantastic meal out of it.

P.S.  The people at the Bacon Bros. Public House have NO idea of who I am or that I am writing this.  This was not a paid promotion, we just seriously loved it!
