The BLTs at Wright’s Gourmet House in Tampa are LOADED with great bacon.
Geno / Q105Happy National Bacon Day people! The New Year's resolutions are a couple days away so indulge. These are 10 of my favorite places to get some goooood bacon in Tampa Bay. Nothing irritates me more than when restaurants get lazy or cheap with bacon. If it's crunchy, too thin or burned, my morning is ruined. These places do bacon right.
First Watch in St. Pete
Hands down my favorite bacon in Tampa Bay is the sweet candy bacon at First Watch. Pricy but worth it.
Himes Breakfast House in Tampa
Rise and Himes! Their sugar cured smokehouse bacon is phenomenal.
The Boozy Pig in Tampa
I mean pig is in their name. Their meats are out of this world. Try their Cuban too!
Girl and a Grill in Seminole Heights
The bacon egg croissant sandwich is the thing to get here.
The Stein & Vine in Brandon
I love this place not so much for their bacon but their burgers... but get bacon on your burger for sure.
Dough in Tampa
Those donuts at Datz are dazzling with bacon on top.
Cracker Barrell in Clearwater
I usually stay away from chains on my lists, but this place is worthy.
Wright's Gourmet House
They put an enormous amount of delicious perfectly-prepared bacon on their BLT.
Lenny's Restaurant in Clearwater
There's always a big line Sunday mornings for breakfast but it's worth the wait.
Honorable Mention: FBOS at the Florida Strawberry Festival
I have to label this as an honorable mention because unfortunately you can't get it anymore. Mama Jane retired this classic a couple years ago so sadly you won't find it in Plant City this year.
