REVIEWS OF The Beacon Drive-in IN South Carolina

Martha Meyer

Grew up eating at the Beacon. Still has great food and tea. Visit everytime I am in the Carolinas.

Karen Hendricks

The legendary Beacon , it’s one place my family and I will not be eating at again . Over the years and with new management the Beacon has steadily declined in cleanliness. Food preparation areas, bathrooms, floors . What I find so amazing is their score is an “A”. State standards must vary from state to state . You would be better off eating at a chain burger restaurant.

David Marino

Loved the onion string chili burger. Definitely worth another flight down for the best grease burger in town!

Alan Clark

It's sad that the owners think so little of their business that it so dirty. Based on the great people who work there and the history of the place I don't expect it was always this way, but it was probably the dirtiest restaurant I've ever eaten in. And I'm far from a clean freak. Sorry to leave a bad review but it's what I remember, not the great onion rings.

Jokatt 01

Great food! Great customer service! For people that are complaining of too much grease uumm it is called a drive-in lol people just love to complain!

Robert Bossier

Great food and affordable.

Jr Chambers

Good food. Rude employees

Brad Shaw

I always get the cili cheese and large onion rings always worth the trip

Liz Ward

The food was really good. The staff was not at all friendly. I get being busy and they seen to really know their stuff, but there were zero smiles. It felt like I was more of a necessary inconvenience than a welcome customer, spending my money there instead of elsewhere.

John Shandor

Saw this place on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives from a few years ago. Today, the food was good except the onion rings were barely warm and greasy, and the burger had mayo when we asked it be left off. The service was good, but the restaurant left a lot to be desired when it comes to cleanliness.

Christopher Butler

The fish is very good there plus you would get plenty of that adding hush puppies and everything else

Georgia Schick

Great food, Unique customer/hamburger restaurant

Richard Nelson

Wow, all I can say about this place is" You need to be hungry!" Its a unique place, the kitchen is fun to watch when standing in line,. We rode up from Columbia on a buddy's recommendation and we almost had to pull off the road and take a nap on the way back, we where so full. We rode up and arrived an hour before they opened, rode around town awhile, then rode back 20min before they opened. I was amazed to see at least 30 people in line. The burgers are as big as you want ( One on the menu that weighs a pound. ) The side of onion rings and fries could feed two people.

bob bob

Not as good of food as it once was but still good ... ever one should get greezed once a month from here

John Dreher

not like it used to be, chicken fried well but bland. asked for a half gallon of sweet tea and got half and half. I did not want lemon in my tea.

Hunting the Gaming huntsinger

Their hash is really really good. They are hopping right now!! They're open for the 4th y'all! You can get family meals to go also. Go get yours!!

Kristi Lynn Sparks

Very run down and chaotic , they don't give you enough time to read the menu and you can drink tea or lemonade or water. They don't have anything else.

Lenwood Colbert

Jus love this place reminds me of the varsity back home

Douglas Fritz

Sliced pork sandwich with the delicious Beacon sauce and their classic onion rings on the side. Delicious, and enough for two meals.

Mike White

This place is one of a kind. You must experience it to understand. Food is always delicious and service speedy. "Call it"

Jaya Weaver

Huge portions. Good burger. The fries and onion rings were the best.

Blake Johnson

Phenominal diner food menu with some unexpected items along the way. The portion sizes are huge and the prices were beyond fair for what you received hanging over every side of your plate. I wish I had a picture of my perch sandwhich and peach cobbler. They were both delicious and I certainly will be making a return trip asap.

Jathan Moyer

Absolutely incredible atmosphere with even better food and a legendary history. They had one one the biggest best burgers I've ever had in my life and an absolute mountain of fries and onion rings that only the largest stomach can climb. This is the mount Everest of drive in restaurants. The Pinnacle of a good food experience

Debra Bentrem

Old fashioned drive-in type restaurant! It is an icon in the area. Been around since 1946. The onion rings are homemade and amazing. I had the BLT which had enough bacon on it for 2 or 3 BLT sandwiches!

Traneis Gibson

Just like the legend says... Good food and you get what you pay for!

Stern Thomas

In short words never ever ever ever ever eat there again food stamps onion rings are disgusting didn't even look like onion rings hamburger disgusting my girlfriend's fish sandwich well her fish. Was Nancy was not work no $18 if I'm 1 slop like you had a good eight at home or at McDonald's or Burger King but as far as I'm concerned they deserve 0 Stars conterno * Gabbanelli must have got paid off which of course he's a loser to

Roger Collins

Classic style and good food. Super fast service.

Stephanie Noggle

Yummy!! And alot of food! The banana split is huge...

Dee Gladney

Great service and the food was great. You definitely have to get the "sweet" tea. Thank me later.

Harvey Moore

When the catfish get big again I will give five*****

Chrys Zsyle Colacion

This place is definitely a place to experience. I highly suggest not going in half asleep (you'll get it when you get in). Food was good and they have plenty of options to choose from.

Markus Thurmaier

It's an imposition on anyone who likes to eat. I will never go in there again. The "furniture" resembles them in a run-down subway station. The best was Dr. Pepper Cola! Cleanliness leaves much to be desired! Patties, fries and onion rings were so delicious that I threw away more than half of them! Please don't go there and give your money to the people who need it!

Ash G

Burger was out of this world and ginormous. Incredible friendly service

Derrick Glenn

Like a lot of others have said on here, it doesn't taste the same like it did in the 90s but the food is still good and will fill you up, with you taking food home.

LaToya Merrill

The legendary beacon. The service and food always amazing. I love how they call the food when you order. It's an awesome experience! If you are in Spartanburg it's a must try...

michael arnett

Good place to grease up the intestines and get a fried food fix. Get the classic chili cheese a plenty. I bet you wont be able to eat it all. That's the challenge! Bet you wont understand the guy yelling out the orders neither

Paul Withrow

Always the best! Found my KETO fix at The Beacon!!

Courtney Alex De Blasio

Great place and food. Kind of a tourist trap but the locals are definitely no strangers. If I'm ever in the area again I wouldn't mind stopping by again.

regina upton

Pooh, The Beacon, I want it now. The food is amazing and the prices are affordable. Our place to go for a good family outing. The ice cream is the perfect ending to that outing. Everyone comes out eating sweet ice cream.

Ron Conners

A must try place featured on Triple D. The staff was great and told us the story of how they got on the show. Then the food... Just good simple food with super generous portions, I couldn't finish it all. Oh their handmade onion rings were some of my favorites. Make the trip and check them out! I'll be back next time I come through town.

Johnny Self

No no and no. We went because we love to watch EDS with Guy. That is the only thing going for it. The food was not good. Yes there is lots of it but not good. Now the sweet tea was great. I am not sure how it passes the inspection. The place was not very clean.

Melissa Hamilton

If you love unseasoned fish great place to go

Joshua Buchanan

You know... I gave it 4 stars because it used to be better. It's more bland now.. something changed.

Kinzee Clark

I loved that there is a lot to choose from! The service was quick, friendly, and entertaining while the atmosphere was super laid back. This is a destination restaurant!

Madison Goretoy

Love this place! If you are in the area, GO. Don't be intimidated. They yell, but it's apart of the experience. 10/10

Robert Parris

It wss still good but not the same as it wss when John White Sr owned it and not the same with out JC saying call it miss them days

Stephanie Towe

Memories as a child going to the Beacon. It is good. The onion rings are delicious. They place is not very clean but the food is still good. You can park and they will come outside and take your order if you don’t want to go in.

Aimee Thompson

The experience always makes the food that much better. Best Drive-In atmosphere. Here's to 70 more years!

Michelle Hofmann

Service is fanatic. Food ok. Hey we knew we was going to get just ok food and I'm good with our decision.

Zachary Davis

Good burgers for the price, got a side of okra which was excellent.

Alex Cash

The food is good...but not as good as it used to be under original owner JB White.

Fal Mac

Load of food, good gravy. 2 can eat 1 plate.

joyce phillips

I wanted to go see what everyone thinks as "a awesome burger." Well.... Atmosphere is entertaining. Onion rings too greasy to eat. Big burger . but tast no big deal.Service was fast.The plate was full of food that you could make two meals off it.

Brooke Chou

My husband and I were on the way home to FL when we saw signs for the Beacon. Guy from the food Network apparently visited, so we thought we'd try it. I had the sliced pork plate with beans and Mac and cheese. My husband had the flounder sandwich. We also had a sweet tea. We were thoroughly unimpressed. The flounder was nothing special, the beans were not that great, and the pork sandwich was dry. My husband didn't care for the flounder sandwich. The Mac and cheese was really good, but we really didn't care for anything else. I asked for sweet tea, but the guy at the counter gave us tea that tasted like Arnold palmer with lemon when I specifically asked for the sweet tea, not sweet tea with lemon. Another thing....why is it called a drive in when it's clearly not a drive in? We decided to go here because we have dogs and we thought it was a drive in restaurant. Very misleading.

Norman Gilliam

Food is good but the tea is too strong and bitter. Not like the good old days.

Lakeisha Williams

There's nothing like a Beacon burger and a nice cold tea

Susie Walden

I went tonight with our church group. It was the first time I'd been there in many years. I really missed JC saying "caaaalllll it". The food was really good, and the customer service was just as good. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

R C

Best food, love this place. Stuff you see on TV shows.

Elizabeth Burns

Ate here for the first time today. Was not impressed. Our cheeseburgers was good, but fries and onion rings was so greasy we could not even eat them. I was shocked at the cleanliness of the restaurant. It was bad! I expected more out of it since it is well known in the area. Customer service wasn't bad except the guy at the register was rude.

DJ Jay

Great!! More food than you can handle

Marquita Barnette

Great service and Beacon burger is Awesome. Onion Rings were literally dripping grease. And were nothing like they used to be. Very stringy. Tea Always delish

Stefan Berger

That‘s an impositon for everybody. The buns tasted like nothing. The fries were not ready to eat. The burger has only the pattie and cheese inside. The cleanliness left much to be disired. If you want to spend nonsene money, go there !

Britton Zimmerman

Extremely good and reasonably priced fast service really nice people if you understand the southern way if you don't give me my favorites. But then again that's what makes the beacon the beacon I've been coming here all my life be my wife have me on the motorcycle once a month it's always a good experience we split up late and we still have to throw away some

Patricia Cartwright

Place is old and dirty. Food is ok. Will not go again. Very disappointed!

B Davis

Going to the Beacon is more than just going to eat, it's an experience! The food is great and plentiful and the service is fun and friendly.

Linda Arthur

Food was fresh cooked it's just such an experience to go to the Beacon. Kids got hats and bibs called down the line "Beacon Babies" on the line it was cute. Ice cream was on point! We watched it rain while eating dinner highly reccomend

Cameron Snyder

This an institution that should not be missed. Always worth the trip. Not diet friendly lol

Linda Level

Home, Spartanburg S.C. food is good. Friendly people. We Always enjoy The Beacon.

Lisa Joyner

Huge plates of food. The chicken livers are delicious.

Leslie McAbee

Never been so disrespected in my life. Customer service ? Yeah right. Called in to kindly let them know our online order was delivered via grub hub and was incorrect.From the time i led With grub hub the lady on the phone who said she was the “owner” told me i was Wrong multiple times and that i did Not in fact pay for something that was not delivered to me and to take it up with grub hub.Even told me she would send me a screenshot to prove to me how wrong in fact i was. After doing so - everything on her end was exactly what we ordered and it was still wrong when it came to us. Having the order plainly written in front of her and still telling me i did Not order what i said. After going back and forth, she then continued to with “cannot reason with unreasonable people” ... say what??!?!? Could not be more disappointed and disgusted in this experience. will not be giving them my business again. And i wouldn't Recommend anyone else do so either unless they want to be told they’re a liar and wrong.

MeanhoseVLOGS

Tried it while traveling through spartanburg. My mom recommended it to me and said the last time she was there was 30 years ago. Great environment and food.

M. Clarke

Fun atmosphere which makes the food good. You get a generous portion of sides. Jerry makes this place worth going to!!

Taylor Thorpe

I love this place! Great food, Great service, friendly people, and more than you can eat! It really brings back memories from my childhood when me and my dad used to go!

Chestin Salisbury

Everything we'd hoped it would be. Electric atmosphere, fantastic food, definitely a Spartanburg institution.

Ella Atkins

Great food to much for one person but great

Rob Griffith

We've been there many times and never had a problem with our orders. Staff is friendly and kids love giving their orders and hearing it yelled back. Sweet tea it excellent and portions are humongous. The Beacon Banana Split is huge and delicious - can definitely feed 2. The Beacon Burger A Pleny is another one of their classic giant meals. LOTS of food for a reasonable price. If you're looking for "fru-fru" food, this isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for a solid meal at a iconic diner, this IS the place for you!

Noel Heath

Can't beat it ! Try the chilli-cheese aplenty! The slice (barbecue sandwich) awesome to. Hell just grab a menu it's all fantastic!!!

tameska Miller

They have great food and you get a lot for your money

wanda kelley

Always fun! You know, you've Got to be ready to order! Read the sign up front. It will tell you how to order. This time, I even got the tee. During training camp, you can find Carolina Panthers players eating here!

Luann McAfee

Best cheeseburger I have had in years!

John Erwin

I grew up in Spartanburg, but never really experienced The Beacon before last night. The company was the best ever, but the food wasn't really my thing. Worth the experience (and possibly the clogged arteries).

Chuck B

What a great place to eat. Fast friendly service, great food. Hadnt been there in over 15 years!! Just as good as I remember!

Monica Thomas

AMAZING food!!!! Drove a little over an hour to get there, but the food was worth every minute of the ride.

Vicky Connor

When u use to go there and order "a plenty" u would get so many fries and onion rings that 2 could share or more, but last week when I went there, was only enough for 1 person, at least this is what was on our plate. And it costs more for less. Wasn't going to order more onions. Will think b4 I go again. Food was good though

shaun koh

It isn't what it used to be. But under new owners it is still a greasy spoon icon of tasty goodness. The onion rings are to die for and the the sweet tea is arguably the best the South has to offer. The chilliburgers are excellent. The atmosphere is dated and so are the furnishings, but perhaps that is part of the historical charm?

Denise Raines

OMG I found a favorite SC restaurant and may I say the food was beyond wonderful. There is ample parking, the building very clean, staff was super nice, prices can't be beat, the portion size is on the large size. If you are in the area it is well worth a stop. Mu husband and I had to try each other's food because it was so good.

Matthew Boomhower

Wow, all I can say is; its an experience. Love to go here whenever I am in the area. Just wish I could say the same about my arteries. If you have never been, you HAVE to check it out. Just be careful of greasy food that tastes this good. I am lucky that I don't live closer, or my doctor may have something to say about it.

Andrew Gibson

Fun and cool experience. Large affordable portions and good taste. Friendly staff. Free ice cream for the kids. Very dirty though.. everywhere.. looks like the place has not been wiped down since opened.

Katelyn Chambers

Awesome experience and awesome food as usual! Everyone should try this place out at least once in their life. Huge servings, great service, and cool nostalgic atmosphere

Joseph Smith

Always a terrific experience no matter how many times I've been there.

Carl Oaks

Chili cheese burgers and fried onion rings are legendary! Rest in peace John White Sr.

wallace humphries

Place is a landmark! Food is still incredible and super fun environment.

Knowledge Reigns Universally

Awesome spot...been eating here since the early 90's

Todd Bradley

Unique place they give you a very good portion of food and the foods good especially the chilly cheeseburger good old fashioned cooked to order food

Jack Sarfaty

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. The food was delicious, the portions was enough to feed three people, and the prices were from 20 years ago. We had an absolute blast there. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. Go hungry!

New York

Only go for breakfast. They need to go trays because these plates inside a box is like wasting money.. premade food needs to really be done better or should I say done more. But it's great if u are in a rush and need to grab something quick

Tim Cox

This place is a landmark! I love everything about this place even the sign is cool looking plus it got visited by Guy fieri! I think my one problem is almost everything is fried

Rene Alley

Went there last Wednesday food was awful I called to speak with manager who was rude and hung up on me. Mr. John B. White would not find this acceptable.

FordTough Lady

Awesome place!! Have good food and ice cream!! Great selection of souvenirs.

Andrew Sorrell

Amazing food and sweet tea. We always try to stop here when were in the area!

Linda Padgett

CALLLLL It!!!! Those days are gone, forever! The food was ok but service is definitely not what it used to be. There was no urgency to assist customers and definitely no " friendly" atmosphere!

Darrell Greene

Great place to go eat. I remember going with my mom and dad when I was a kid. I love to eat their.

Theresa Morgan

Great atmosphere, hard workers and delicious food! Despite how busy they are, they keep it moving and clean!

Love English

If you're looking for fast food, this is it. I had always heard of the Beacon and my first visit was pleasant. I ordered too much food but the overall experience was good.

William Martin

Still good after 40 years of going there.

Andrew Horn

Fun experience. Good food!

Clifton Stewart

Just because the place is a landmark and been here since 1946 does not mean that the food is good or the place is clean or the guy taking your order is pleasant. The 3 stars is only because the sweet tea was good. I honestly hope this was just an off day for the Beacon and the next time I come through town and stop it is better than today.

Mike Manager

Always fantastic. Never disappointed.

David Lewis

I had fond memories of visiting this place when I was a teenager. I remember getting a burger bigger than my head and more fries than you could shake a stick at, much less actually eat. Well the same holds true for the beacon today, however the burger itself was not so good. The meat reminded me of the quality hamburger patties that graced my plate at my high school cafeteria circa 1996; greyish, rubbery, and often were left questioning it's validity. While not a terrible experience it left a lot to be desired and I don't think I would stop by here again much less take a detour off the interstate while passing though on my way back to Columbia. The Beacon quality of old is long gone. Perhaps they should change the gluttonous portions in favor of a more quality product. Perhaps that would be enough to lure back the masses.

Stephen Johnston

This place is iconic. Good food, large portions. Self service. Iced tea is outstanding.

Greg Coggins

The place is no longer clean and neat, bathrooms are disgusting. If they can not keep clean bathrooms, what make you think the food areas are clean and safe. Famous or not. Poor condition, filthy. Very disapointed.

KAVLIN TEMPLETON

I enjoyed my time with my family there...I'm happy that they are open on Sundays!!

Joel Yarbrough Sr.

I've loved their chili cheeseburger aplenty for over 30 years! The lemon tea in my opinion is the BEST!!

Ed Romney

The onion rings are back crunchy like they used to be it was delicious.

Carolyn MageCraft

Amazing! The food was great! It had a pretty good atmosphere as well. The ice cream selection was pretty good, not to mention the enormous menu. Definitely got a great amount of food! The hush puppies were great, the fries were great, the chicken was awesome, and the sweet tea was extremely unique, but still pretty great!

beth whittemore

It's a tradition! A local Landmark, we always stop on our way from North Carolina to Georgia. The food is consistently good oh, the people consistently friendly, and the iced tea and lemonade are the best you'll find!

ed gein

Do not believe the hype. The food is average at best.. Very loud. Cleanliness is lacking. Ot is in the hood. A very large percentage of staff and customer base seem to be from the hood. A local community leader who is anti 2 nd amendment is always lurking in bathroom... It needs more furniture... A good painting.

Jeffrey Johnston

The Beacon is a great place to eat! Especially if you're hungry. Most people will recommend the chili-cheese a plenty but if you like BLT's you have to try one. They pile on the bacon, the lettuce and tomato are fresh, and if you add cheese...mmmmm. I think I'll stop on my way home and grab one. Try a banana split too!

Audrey Cohen

If no star was an option that's what they would get. I visited today and was charged 20.96 for 2 bologna sandwiches and 2 teas. When I went back to question I was asked why I didn't question then. Going forward will never eat there again. 7 dollars does not make or break me but it's the principal. Ask for a itemized receipt if you go. They robbing ppl and they don't even realize it. So disappointed. John White would never treat his bread and butter that way.

Joey Runey

Once again, the Beacon doesn't disappoint! Burgers were great. Lots of fantastic onion rings. The sweet potato fries were unbelievable! They were the best we have ever had! The seafood combo was perfectly fried and could probably feed three people. If you haven't been you have to go!

Rusty Godfrey

Hash-A-Plenty is delicious!!! This place is timeless!

Amundsen Scott

Had read about this place and was excited to check it out. Pulled in and honked the horn, and out came the server, cool and old school. I ordered the chili cheese fry....heard it was a house specialty....wasn't for me, but I enjoyed the experience. Tried the famous tea as well...liked it, but I don't prefer the lemon flavor.

Averi Lavoie

The people are really nice. But the food is not good at all. The place looks very dirty and crowded. The tables are very close together. But the way they serve you makes it feel like you are in a school lunch line.

Heather Young

Great food great service

Joseph Cutro

Friendly people who work hard and fast. Food was good, but too much grease for me. Restaurant was clean and organized and bathrooms were clean. Quick service and everyone works well together. Maybe next time I'll leave off the onion rings. You get plenty to eat here folk's.

Pamela Prieto

Great variety of foods and customer service! I love this place!!

Duane Leet

Had breakfast but kind of late in the morning. Eggs were jumbo and cooked just right. Biscuits were pretty good, but not as good as I can make them. Coffee was awful. Price was fair. This is a sit-down restaurant but you order at a bar, like McDonalds. Historic Spartanburg fixture.

Wade Ferguson

Foos was fresh and hot. Smell and visible areas is not very good. Personnel very friendly and helpful

Mary Stallings

I love this place, Everytime in Spartanburg, I stop. Best onion rings.

tammy lingle

Always enjoy. Fast and friendly

Leonard Rice

Grew up in Sburg. Beacon was the high school hangout every Friday/Saturday night. I wonder if it still is?? My five star rating is based on great memories from 1957 through 1959!

Raquel Dixon

This place is the best, this was my 1st time here I always wanted to come after seeing it on Dinner drive-in & dives show ..man it is so worth it I will be coming back

Heather Wilson

The Beacon is an experience. A friend and I took our girls for their first visit and everyone left stuffed on yummy food and ice cream!

Chris Arrowood

Very average food,good portions,neither cheap nor expensive... indifferent service & attitude. Not super clean or super dirty. Gets three stars based soley on portion size and history of the beacon or else would be a two.

Mike Hall

Great hamburger. Food was delicious

Mark

Not as good as it used to be. New owners shouldn't have messed with perfection.

Greg O'Shields

World Famous. Starting to taste like it did in the 80's. Just not the same without J.C. shouting CAAAAALLLLLLLL IT!

Jonathan Patrick

Great place good food fast service

Crystal L Smith

Not as good as it used to be BEFORE john white, the legend of the beacon, died... burgers have literally downsized and as always customer service isn't the best...but i do still get the perch plate when i have a taste for it

Sharon Thomas

The service was aweful. No one acknowledged me as I waited to place my order. I then had to go to the register to have my order place. Afterwards the person preparing my order complained the whole time. This place is only surviving because of it's name. NOT THE SERVICE OR QUALITY.

Andrew Choudhry

The food here is delicious and so filling. Two of us shared the double chilli cheese burger. We were both stuffed and had food left. The place is very affordable and the staff is incredibly friendly. The sweet tea is refreshing and they have diet available as well.

Joe Padgett

Old school burgers at reasonable price

M Hinges

The burgers here are decent. Onion rings are done the right way. The gent who calls the orders is a piece of local, living history. The place has clearly evolved into more of a dine in then a drive it. To eat in car, you park on one side of the building & honk. The building itself is old & not well kept. It's dirty though out. You bus your own tables & let's face it..people here in the NC/SC area will not do that.

xX-KILLERxBEE-Xx ps4

Loved it. Great food and car show. Kids loved it too

Dennis Senges

I had the lodge fish platter which consisted of 6 pieces of freshly fried perch a mountain of onion rings sweet potato fries and hush puppies all very good for only $15 my only complaint goes the place was not exactly spotlessly clean

Bill G

Had a late breakfast, bologna, biscuits and gravy, eggs and grits. Now that's a good breakfast.

Barry Baggott

Standard drive in fare. Burgers were good but not great. Onion rings were super greasy. Gizzards were good.

Shay Young

Family tradition. Chili cheese burger a plenty was awesome

pamela knight

The portions are large and the experience is an adventure. The onion rings are good. The burger wasn't very good, but the cobbler and Mac & cheese were very good for a diner.

Nettia Yates

This is my Most "favorite " restaurant in spartanburg..i used go there when id get off work at labor finders..they are "the best" love yall

Joe Merritt

Never a bad trip to The Beacon! Food was fresh, and the casr hop was quick w the food and genuinely nice.

Dixie Helms

Burger, onion rings, and fried chicken we're close to what I remembered from 50 years ago!

Rob Knight

The chili cheese burger had no flavor. Not bad just bland. I'm not even sure how it was possible to have 0 taste. The onion rings were ok. Everything was cold.

William Horton

Their food is delicious that pulled pork is awesome the hot dogs with coleslaw or awesome that onion rings are really really good

B B

The absolute rudest manager. Food order was completely wrong. Would not accept responsibility for the order being incorrect, despite a screen shot being sent to prove the order was placed correctly. Seriously this was only supposed to just be an informative call. But after being called unreasonable and hours of going back and forth over $3 and the “owner” becoming more disrespectful this needs to be shown to other customers.

R A

Food getting too high and taste is different

Diana Barnette

Fast service, friendly staff, lots of good food!!!

pamela smith

The Beacon is iconic. That sweet tea omg. Don't pass this place up. Fried chicken was delicious too
