Huge amount of food, you get your money's worth. Down side for me is that they pile the food up on top of each other and for someone who does not like there food to touch each other it was a bit overwhelming. Only other complaint its..... Its super greasy!

Excellent chili cheese burgers, fries and onion rings. JC was the best at calling out the orders and so much fun to watch him work those long lines. There's no place like it, nor JC......... RIP old friend!

Never go to the greasy Beacon again. Cops treated my wife and son like a criminal asking if they paid for their food
