I went here with my wife and another couple on a Tuesday night. I had heard great reviews about Bakn and the couple we wanted to meet up with lived close by Carnegie; so we decided to make a quick trip here to meet up for dinner. We arrived around 7 PM and it was surprisingly fairly empty. The place is decorated uniquely with a few pig paintings that are just above my level of artistic ability, a neon light of a pig, and some coat hooks in the shape of pig tails. They had seating at tables, a bar, and in front of the open kitchen which was definitely different from anything I've ever seen.
The menu contained some absolutely amazing choices! For an appetizer, my wife and I split a flight of bacon which included 6 different flavors of bacon. Our two favorites were the cajun and sriracha. They also had candied, pepper, regular, and apple wood bacon as well. Our friends ordered the same and agreed that cajun was incredible! My wife ordered the chicken sandwich while I had the bacon blue burger. Needless to say the portion size was very generous. and I had fresh cut fries with my burger. The arugula and red onion marmalade really set this sandwich apart from your traditional blue cheese bacon burger. It is well worth a taste if you enjoy the bacon + blue cheese + burger combination!
This is a very unique place in Carnegie. Interestingly decorated with a hipster feel and some unbeatable cuts and pairings of bacon. Although we did not try their drink menu, it looked exceptionally interesting. I believe they are opening a second location in Wexford which will be within a few miles of our house. Cannot wait!
