A Spartanburg institution for decades. A little worn around the edges, with some quirky traditions, employees, and menu items. Be forewarned, if you have not been raised on Beacon food your intestinal system may require an adjustment period. Portions are generous centering around cheeseburgers topped with chili, with fries or onion rings, and ice cream for dessert.
