On a busy Sunday afternoon, they were able to accommodate our group of 10 with about a 20 minute wait. Cheap prices, great food, and attentive service. Dishes range from classic French toast & egg combo plates to Beacon diner specials with their own ‘suicide hot sauce’. Great spot to stop at whether local or passing through.

Ordered a toasted bacon egg & cheese for pickup. They shoved it in a styrofoam container, so it was a soggy, mushy, fall-apart mess by the time I got home. Ordered hashbrowns as well; not sure exactly how the cooks managed to make them raw in the middle, and a greasy sloppy mess at the same time, but… yeah. They were entirely inedible. Also not sure how you can label it as a “meat egg and cheese” sandwich when you’re practically forgetting the “meat” part. 2 pieces of bacon on a $10 breakfast sandwich is pathetic. I will never make the mistake of waisting my money here again.

I ordered the Chicken Scampi, my wife ordered the Penne Pasta with Alfredo sauce, both meals were excellent! The Servers were very friendly and the inside was cozy with a nostalgic atmosphere.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ without a doubt!

The worst eggplant parmesan I've ever eaten, and I mean ever. One bite was enough. It was so thinly sliced I'm not even sure it had anything between the breading. It tasted like breading only and the pasta was grossly overdone. I'm glad I ordered fries on the side. They were good and the unsweetened iced tea was good as well. My other half isn't picky, so ill spruce it up for him tomorrow for dinner. The server was very nice. First time and last time there.

Let me start off by saying my daughter worked here she had seen the behind-the-scenes of the cook, dropping things on the floor, replaying them putting dirty cloths on top of food, ready to be served by the servers before I found out all this this was my favorite place to go eat their food is very good, but to know the behind-the-scenes is nasty. Their service was never real good. They’re very slow And the restaurant really needs to be updated because it is 100% outdated if you ask for a glass of water it taste like it came from the river.
