About The Beacon Drive-in

The Beacon Drive-in offers classic drive-in food with large portions. Guests can enjoy the Chili-Cheese A-Plenty, a chili-cheeseburger topped with sweet onion rings and french-fries. Orders are quickly served at the curbside, ensuring fresh food arrives fast. The burgers are very good, and while the onion rings may be a bit greasy, they have great flavor. Kids' meals come with a free scoop of ice cream. The service adds to the experience, with an enthusiastic staff member taking orders and making sure customers are well taken care of. The atmosphere has a rustic feel, reminiscent of a classic greasy spoon, which makes it a memorable place to visit. Visitors often notice the history on the walls and appreciate studying the menu beforehand, as it is not explained. The portions are huge, and many recommend sharing one meal with “a plenty” fries and onion rings, as one plate can feed an army. Some customers mention that the new buns are darker and lack the taste of the old ones, wishing they would bring back the original buns. Overall, it’s a spot known for good food, friendly service, and a nostalgic vibe.

It was past friendly. He was bringing me desserts, and I haven't even ordered my...read full review

One of Spartanburg's best! Been coming here for years. In fact, where did my wife (who is originally from Greenwood SC) want to go to dinner on our anniversary? Gotta marry a woman who'll choose The Beacon over a snooty five-star restaurant any day! Recommendations: everything but my go-tos or either the double chili-cheese with bacon or slice heavy on the red with a tea of course!

I can't say enough good things about The Beacon Drive-In. We were in town for a softball tournament and they fed our entire softball family-45+ people with no issue at all. It was quick, efficient, and DELICIOUS! The girls loved it and can't wait to go back! Pay them a visit when you're in Spartanburg, and tell Jerry the SWVA Shockers said hello! 💙🧡
