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. This old-fashioned drive-in is famous among South Carolinians for their friendly service, Beacon sweet tea (largest single seller of sweet tea in the country) and deliciously unhealthy menu staples like the chili cheese dog, onion rings, hush puppies, BBQ plates and fried fish baskets.

Happened upon this lil treasure while we were out riding around. It's not a fancy restaurant, but it was clean, the service was great, and my GOODNESS!!!! the burgers!! Awesome!!
My fiancé and myself took our nephew (who is autistic) to Spartanburg for a wrestling event and we stopped into the Beacon for lunch. Food was great and the service was beyond amazing! When my fiancé went to order the banana split, he told them about our visit and Brad. They made it special & brought it to our table & challenged Brad to an arm wrestling match. Brad won, of course! Made him feel good & we were blown away with their service. We will never forget that. Thank you!
Just as awesome now as it was when I was a child!
We always stop at The Beacon on our way home from Myrtle Beach ! It's been a tradition & will continue to keep it that way!
Great place! You will not leave hungry. Been eating here for 40 years.
Wanted to try the legendary Beacon while in town visiting Converse. I was sorely disappointed. The smell of burnt fry oil hit us the minute we pulled into the parking lot. The inside was equally smelly and grimy. But that didn't deter me. Some of the best food comes out of places with kitchens you wouldn't want to walk through. But not here. The fries and onion rings were undercooked, cold, slimy and greasy. The burger was ok but certainly not world famous. Even the ketchup was bitter. Only the tea and lemonade was good. Wil... read more
