The best place in the US to get comfort food. My husband and I share a slice -a - plenty and always leave satisfied, and you cannot beat the Beacon's tea. We love the Beacon.

The food was ok. The staff, with the exception of one girl behind the counter, was extremely rude.

Stop in with the boys on a road trip...We would definitely come back but. It just for the food but for the whole experience. You don't find restaurants like this everywhere. My advise to anyone stopping in is to order small portions and now that that the fries and Orion rings are fried so there is grease. Also get a side of the chicken stew and huss puppies...dip the cornbread in the stew...who know it could be so good.
