Great food! Huge portions! Got the shrimp plate and my husband got the seafood combo with flounder and shrimp. I could only eat about a 1/4 of it. Fried onions are delicious!
Wow! This was a new experience for us. It’s almost like a cafeteria line. I have no idea how the employees keep up with all the orders. I had country ham sandwich, another in our group had a burger and one had the BBQ. When you get the onion rings and fries added it’s enough for 2-3 people. I was glad we seen plates in front of us because it’s a ton of food. The tea reminded me of my grandmothers. Great stop of your in the area!
Wonderful experience. Delicious food piled high! They gave my little girl a token for a free scoop of ice cream, which was unexpected and sweet.. only thing is the lady at the ice cream counter didn't seem to like her job very much.. other I'd highly recommend!
Stopped in on our way through town. Food was fine. Bathroom could use a remodel. Plenty of seating and parking. Employees were friendly.Parking: Plenty of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Wherlchair accessible from the side
We love the beacon. Great place for a burger fries and onion rings. The experience of the place is totally worth the trip there.
I read all the recent reviews and they didn’t look good.. but I decided to try it for myself. Since I may never be here again.. let’s try it. Well… I was very pleased! The food, was great. Now realize what you are ordering. It’s drive inn food. But they do it right. And it DOES have flavor. Everything I got was great. I got a double cheeseburger A Plenty. I also got peach cobbler and apple pie. All guud. If I am back in this area I will definitely eat here again. I am not a local, I’m from Kentucky. I have done plenty of food reviews. If your looking for good drive in food.. try it.
Yesterday was the last straw. I have eaten from here for years but the last few times were awful . From runny watered down chili a few months ago to getting burned hush puppies yesterday. I tried my best to eat these but it was a no go. Seems the place has lost its love for the patrons and are just in the business of making money. Had I looked in the box it would have stayed there with them, but after driving a distance and the box being taped up, I never thought to look into it. Never again. My love over the years for the Beacon is the only reason I scored it 3 stars
Had to try this restaurant out while in Spartanburg for the day after reading about the iced tea and a-plenty plates. We had the pimento cheeseburger a-plenty and it was enough to share. We had a to-go box even after splitting with an adult and child! The sweet tea is delicious. It has a pretty good amount of lemon in it. The servers were very nice, polite and helpful! Viewing the outside alone I probably would not have decided to stop in, but due to the good reviews we had heard we gave it a try. Glad we did!!!
Finally tried this landmark after years of passing through and never stopping.Food really good for price paid. It’s not a WOW factor or the best ever but it is a pretty solid menu. The atmosphere is what makes this place though. The nostalgia and history along with the staff there make this a must visit if you are in the area.
A staple in the area for years and the decor shows it. Food was ok. I was disappointed in the flavor. Want to go back for ice cream when it gets warmer.
