I ate there 3 times the week you opened and at least once a week since.
The Shrimp & Grits dish is EVERYTHIIIIING!! I truly can't get enough of it. I was hesitant about the stuffed peppers because of the egg, but it works! It just works with it and it's amazing. The BLT is an absolute ridiculous amount of bacon... and I wouldn't change one thing about it. The signature Bakn Martini is to die for. It's a good stiff drink that's a little sweet, a little smokey, a little tart. The first sip I took just tasted like Autumn. It tasted like I should've had on Ugg boots, black leggings and a flannel while sitting in front of a roaring firepit.
I liked everything about the Bakn Burger....except the actual burger. It needs some attention. I felt it (the burger itself) was very plain and equally dry. Like all the good stuff was pressed out of it on the grill. If not for the bacon on it, it wouldn't have much flavor at all. Why not put bacon IN the burger. I also thought it had too much of the greens on it. Cut down on the greens (or use spinach or something). Add a kicky mayo. Maybe sliced avocados as an option. Just a thought.
I love the whole concept of Bakn. It's definitely a welcome change in Carnegie. It's clean, bright, beautiful and simple. The staff is coming along and getting in to their groove. I expect that Bakn is going to be another Carnegie icon like Papa's and The Pour House. Keep doing what you're doing!
