Review of Bacon Brothers Public House

UPDATE: We took a year off after writing the review below, and kept hearing our friends rave about Bacon Bros. We went back for the second time about two months ago, and have been back two more times. One of our favorite restaurants in the Upstate now! //// Blah. Honestly, they are trying REALLY hard to be amazing. They are farm to table, they bring your knives over in a cigar box, and they are a la carte as my burger was just the burger, nothing else. The Burger (its name) fine, nothing special, even though it sounded amazing in print. My wife's bratwurst only slightly above average, but factoring in the price only drops the rating further. Now, let's talk drinks. This is a public house, with a menu that prides itself on a 50 mile radius, yet their draft list consists of Bud Light, PBR, and Sierra Nevada??? OK, you can get two Quest (great local brewery) on tap, but Thomas Creek (brewery 10 miles away) comes in a $5.50 bottle??? This place needs to be 90% craft brews, or have more than 6-7 taps in order to survive. Speaking of survival, it has a chance, but they have some serious work ahead of them. Yeah, they the talk of the town now because they are new, but theyll only ride that wave for so long.
