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.

I started eating my cheese burger and onion rings only they were not onion rings they were onion lumps with breading of half onions instead of rings it was onion lumps. Waited five minutes before taking my order. No one was taking orders.
Service was great. Amazing staff and friendly. Food was just ok. I think the chili on the cheeseburger wasn't that great but the country ham sandwich was pretty darn good. Onion rings could have been cooked a little longer.
Delicious as always the fried chicken was amazing the kids had chicken fingers and the hubby had a double cheeseburger which was good to because I tasted it LOL we had a beacon banana split afterwords and we also watched a group of 10 little girls pig out on the pigs dinner 18 scoops of ice cream whole can of whip cream and a full serving of each of the toppings it was so beautiful and amazing and so funny to watch them dig into it and enjoy themselves we definitely enjoyed our banana split we will always return to the beaco... read more
I've been to the beacon 3 times. I go for the experience, not the food. As far as main dishes go, it's wonderful. But the French frys are the average ones you can get in the frozen food section. Other than that, it's a fun experience. :)
All the way from Alabama, the staff great friendly, made you feel special.
It's not the best in the world. It's just the novelty of the place.
I loved this place,, the food was awesome nd the service was excellent,,,,
Amazing part of Upstate history, great people and a good old fashioned atmosphere.
After 18 yrs of not eating there it was still the same from 18 yrs ago. I missed the blind black man that called out the orders.
