About this business

Considered a regional landmark and ranked as the second biggest drive-in restaurant in the country, The Beacon is a must-see for visitors looking to eat local comfort food.

The Beacon is no longer the center of the universe like it was in the day of founder John White and the legendary J.C. Stroble. But it's still pretty good! The burger was great. So were the onion rings. I've never liked their fries so I wasn't disappointed. All in all it was most enjoyable. Chili Cheese A-Plenty!!!
