Disappointing to say the least. I have been trying to eat here for the last thirty years. It just never worked out. It is the greasest food I have ever had. I don't know if it was a bad day or what. After all the hype I was very sad to have a meal of this quality.

Yesterday was the first time we ever ate at the Beacon and left hungry. The food was great but they have cut back. The plates and trays looked like they had shrunk big time. Will we go back? Yes of course we have been going there for over 52 years.
