Wakin’ Bacon

About This Establishment

Crispy Bacon snaps with a clean bite, and the Wakin' Bacon Burger brings a char and runny yolk that ride the grease through the bun. Biscuits and Gravy arrives warm, the fluffy biscuit soaking up a peppery gravy while the meat adds heft to every bite. This breakfast-to-lunch lineup stacks honest ingredients, good value, and a solid finish near the park.
