A bacon flight is a fine way to announce what this restaurant is about. Rather than leaving bacon on the breakfast side of the menu, the kitchen gives it a starring role in several preparations, setting up a table-friendly opener for a round of bourbon, a craft beer, or a cocktail from the bar.
The larger idea is pleasingly straightforward: bacon, bourbon, and beer, treated with enough range to carry a full dinner. You can start with a snack built for sharing, settle into a brisket-heavy comfort-food entrée, or go in another direction with steak, salmon, or stuffed chicken.
Start With the Bacon Flight
The bacon flight is the obvious first order for a group, offering several bacon preparations in one shareable plate. It gives everyone something to nibble on while the table works through the drink list, and it is more interesting than a standard basket of fried starters.
Bacon jam is another recurring favorite here, and it shows up in more than one place on the menu. The jalapeño poppers get a sweet-savory boost from it, which is a good example of the restaurant’s habit of treating bacon as an ingredient with personality rather than just a garnish.
Smoked maple bacon is worth noticing on its own, too. For diners who have arrived specifically for the house theme, it provides a direct, unfussy taste of the smoky-sweet side of the menu.
Pork Belly, Pickles and Two Kinds of Wings
Pork belly makes a strong case for lingering over appetizers. It is served as a starter and has a tender richness that suits the restaurant’s hearty style without requiring anyone to commit to a large entrée right away.
Fried pickles offer a crisp, tangy counterpoint to all that smoke and richness. They are a familiar bar-food choice, but a good plate of them can disappear faster than expected once drinks arrive.
Wing fans have two lanes to choose from: smoked wings or buffalo wings. The smoked version keeps the menu’s barbecue-adjacent character in view, while buffalo wings bring the more classic hot-sauce bar snack into the mix.
A Menu That Goes Beyond the Theme
Burgers are a major part of the meal here, beginning with the notably substantial B3 burger. The farmhouse burger and Cajun burger add other flavors and styles, and bacon-topped burgers make the restaurant’s calling card easy to spot without turning the whole menu into a novelty act.
Brisket appears in several useful forms. There is brisket as an entrée, brisket mac and cheese for diners who want the fully loaded comfort-food version, and a grilled cheese sandwich built around brisket. The latter is an especially good choice when a regular sandwich sounds a little too modest.
Mac and cheese is also available without brisket, while stuffed chicken offers another substantial plate. Salads with steak or salmon provide a lighter-looking route through the menu, though the restaurant is not shy about serving people who came hungry.
Bourbon Without the Lecture
The bourbon selection is broad, spanning a substantial range of brands and styles. It is a list made for someone who already knows what they like, but it does not leave newcomers staring at a shelf of labels and hoping for the best.
Bartenders and servers help steer guests toward bourbon and beer that suit their preferences. That makes it easy to ask for something smoky, sweeter, familiar, or a little outside your usual order without having to turn dinner into homework.
Two-ounce pours offer a practical way to explore the bourbon program. A pour can stand on its own beside dinner, or become the starting point for a small comparison among friends who each order something different.
Beer on Display and Cocktails at the Bar
Craft beer is a major companion to the bourbon list, and the beer display gives the bar a strong visual presence. It helps set the room’s tone before a menu is even opened: casual, social, and built around choosing a drink with some character.
Specialty cocktails are prepared at the bar in view of seated guests, so bar stools are not merely overflow seating. They are a good perch for watching the mixing and shaking while deciding between another beer and something more elaborate.
The menu’s playful names and descriptions keep the bacon-bourbon-beer idea from becoming too serious. This is food meant to be enjoyed with a little appetite and a little curiosity, not analyzed like a tasting exam.
Small Rooms, Easy Conversation
The restaurant has an indoor dining area, a bar, outdoor patio or terrace seating, and a private dining room. The hillside building is shared with other businesses and is arranged in smaller, close-set rooms, giving the interior a cozier scale than a wide-open dining hall.
That layout can feel pleasantly conversational, particularly around the bar and in smaller groups. Background music adds energy, while televisions have been kept quiet enough that a table can still talk without competing with a game broadcast.
The space works for couples, casual dinners, and larger groups; parties of nine or more have dined here, and the private dining option adds another possibility for a gathering. Seating is cozy rather than especially spacious, which is worth keeping in mind for anyone who prefers a more open room.
A Useful Stop Around Racetrack Road
Near Meadowlands Casino and with straightforward access to Racetrack Road, the restaurant fits naturally into an evening built around the casino or a meal before heading elsewhere. It also works perfectly well as a destination for a burger, brisket mac and cheese, and a bourbon pour without any larger itinerary attached.
A free parking lot is available. Spaces can fill during busier periods, and the arrangement may feel a bit informal when the lot is crowded.
Reservations have varied by day and time, so the setup is not presented as a rigid reservation-only dining room. With bar seating, indoor tables, patio or terrace seating, and private dining among the options, the visit can be as simple as a drink and a shared bacon flight or as full as a long group dinner.
