We had some excellent sandwiches and fries. They were the specials for the night. My bacon lovers burger was perfectly juicy and topped with just the right amount of toppings. This is a CLEAN restaurant/bar. It was a little weird driving up as it was dark and we didn’t see a sign, but we listened to the gps and took a chance. It does have a bar and pool table plus the restaurant.

First time here. We had fried mushrooms for an appetizer, then we had a regular Gibson burger with curly fries, and a double Gibson burger with regular fries. Absolutely delicious!! My wife and I couldn’t even eat 1/2 of our meals, they were huge! The service was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely make this trip again from Perryville (about 40 miles, one way)!

We had an excellent dinner there today. I had the Gibson burger and it was delicious! Our server was nice and she got our entire order correct. This is the best burger I have had in a while. We will definitely be back

The best country fried steak ever! You MUST try it! Nice portions and perfectly balanced flavor.
We tried the French toast…yum! The cinnamon crust is amazing. The pancake, fluffy. The breakfast steak was delicious!
An unassuming side of the road cafe provided us one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had!
Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite, and 1 small town at a time! Explore everything!

Little bit off the beaten path for most, but close for us. This is our 2nd visit, first visit was very close to their reopening.
First experience the wait time was pretty long to get a menu. But I waited to give my full review.
This time the wait was still too long, not quite as bad as the first. We ordered burgers and fries, party of 3 for lunch.
Decided to try the mushrooms for an appetizer.
Mushrooms were very good. Little bit too few but good.
We did enjoy our burgers, 3 for 3. If I rated the burger myself I’d say 7.5 out of 10. Pretty good!
Fries were good. Once we did get service, Krystal was great.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say if you’re passing thru, give them a try. For us, we’re hopeful the wait time for menu’s and drink orders improves. From there it got substantially better. And we live close and would love a good option for eating out together.
I will be back and will try other items on the menu.
Recommended-MVP!

The Beacon bar and grill was long time hangout for locals until it burned down a few years ago. It has now been rebuilt and slightly expanded and is still called the Beacon. The bar area appears almost exactly like the original Beacon so those who remember it may be happy to see the bar and pool table still in the same arrangement. The expanded area is new and has a small stage for live entertainment from time to time.
Food is good and reasonably priced.

I used to and still still do (less now) travel for work. So I’ve had a few burgers. The Gibson burger ranks near the top. I wanted the works on it, but I was recommended to get it just how it came. And boy was it tasty. The musician in the room was also very talented making the atmosphere great.

First time in. If you haven’t been in you need to go. Our breakfast was delicious. The restaurant is very clean. The service was friendly. We will be back to try lunch/dinner! Family of four ate for around $40 and we were more than full!! So happy we tried it!
