I love The Beacons food. Any and everytime Ive eaten there, its been delicious and plentiful. No matter what I order, I have thoroughly enjoyedbit. I had the Belgian Chicken and Waffles. It's worth $14.00. ($13.50) It comes with 2 eggs however you want them, 2 very flavorful chicken strips and a hefty serving of hashbrowns. Talk about full!! Shower and backbin the bed I go. ? ?Parking: Its very small. It fills up fast. I had to have one of the workers help guide me out because it was so compacted.

I had a fabulous waffle this morning, but I forgot to custom order my bacon, as crispy. My fault. My wife enjoyed delicious hash browns and perfect dry wheat toast, with plenty of strawberry preserves. She found her scrambled eggs plentiful, yet about 30 seconds undercooked. Our waitress was old-school efficient. She was very pleasant and attentive. This kind and hard-working woman received a special upgrade in her tip! Great breakfast joint!

Casual atmosphere, our waitress was wonderful. We got the Breakfast Shoe, which is a mound that starts with toast, hashbrowns, choice of meat (sausage, ham, chorizo, bacon), eggs, and a heaping of sausage gravy. The one thing they didn't get right was the egg. We ordered it fried medium and it was definitely over easy, too runny. Otherwise, very enjoyable.

This is the most "meh" brunch place I have been to.The price is really low which is good but it definitely matches the quality of the food you are given.The food just looks and tastes like a run down IHOP.The service though was really good and the waiter was extremely attentive.Would I ever eat here again? Probably not unless someone else is paying.Would I ever recommend it to anyone? No.

First time visiting as soon as we walked in the place had a weird smell…as we were waiting to be seated I noticed the menus were made on regular printer paper…after we were seated I noticed butter knife on the floor under our table…the table was dirty with particles of food and wet spots from a cup and left my paper menu soiled .the server was rude and unfriendly. The place was loud as hell!! I ordered the breakfast shoe and my husband ordered the country fried steak…the food made him sick he was throwing up after we left saying the steak tasted like pork (he doesn’t eat pork) toasts had fake butter on it I was already skeptical about going and I was proven right… won’t be back…

Food was very good. Hash browns excellent. Nice staff. Has that older down town feel. Only observation that could use a bit of attention was the restrooms. But would definitely go back.

This is not my first visit to the Beacon. All of my other visits have been during the week, and my experience has been much better.This visit was on a busy Saturday morning at 11am, so perhaps that might put things in context for some, and maybe for the restaurant management.The Beacon is a typical local diner with great prices, portions and selection. On all of my previous visits, the food was exactly as expected, and I believe I've left positive reviews on prior visits. Always for breakfast and usually with friends, we all enjoyed our meals, to include special requests (crispy bacon, hash browns well done, etc.)Generally, if my experience is subpar, I just don't leave a review. My philosophy is, it just wasn't for me, and I really don't like leaving negativity online, bad karma and all....On this visit I ordered pancakes with strawberries, two over medium eggs, and coffee.Specifically, my experience today was ruined by the chef, let me explain.A few bites into my pancakes I noticed that the strawberry sauce that covered the top was refrigerator cold. Sad, but not a show stopper as I had hoped that the hot pancakes would somewhat warm the strawberries and sauce.It took about 35 minutes for my meal to be served, but again, not complaining about the time it took because it was a busy Saturday. Anyway, the strawberries never warmed up which was unpleasant, but as I dug into the pancakes I started to see what looked like melted butter, until I realized that it was raw pancake batter. 75 percent of the pancake was completely raw.Okay, an oversight due to being slammed. Got it, not a big deal.The waitress was lovely, apologetic, and quick to return to the kitchen and try and get things back on track. You'll note I rate the service as excellent.20+ minutes later my replacement pancake (I reduced my order to one pancake because they're ridiculously large), finally arrived, and now I'm annoyed. Maybe because I'm sitting at the counter with a clear view of the kitchen, grill, and cooks, and I'm watching all of the other orders being heaved onto the service counter, but I would have expected to have been bumped to the front of the queue and not wait nearly a half hour for one replacement pancake.When it arrived, it was slightly overdone, and the strawberries, yep, cold like they just came out of the refrigerator.Dear Beacon management: Over to you.

The hostess was very nice and friendly however the older ladies seeding people was extremely rude and nasty I was told because I was only a single but I would have to go to the back of the list of everyone that came in after me trust me I will never return and I will never recommend this place to anyone
