I took my children here to experience just how incredible their pancakes are. The Beacon did not disappoint:)
Upon entering, I was greeted immediately with a smile and was attended too upon sitting down. Everyone was incredibly kind and made us feel so welcome!
I ordered the Pineapple Upside Down pancakes and they literally were the best things on earth! My boys both sampled the cinnamon roll pancakes and loved them! The presentation on the Smiley Face pancakes for kids was the cutest thing ever.
Great food and great staff!

This might just be the hidden gem in the Fort Worth area! The staff is the friendliest! You can find the owner cooking up these great items. She is super friendly and always has a minute to say hi!! The breakfast buffet is amazing. From the omelette bar with any and everything you can imagine to put in them to the pineapple upside down pancakes. They have so many different great pancakes like the blueberry with pecan, the cranberry white chocolate and my fav…the cinnamon swirl!! You won’t be disappointed…ever!! The only disappointment was that they didn’t have a wheelbarrow to take me to my truck!!
Sadly, they’ve lost their lease and are looking for a new location. The last day (for now) is January 18th so get here while you still can! So, if you know somewhere they can move in the north Fort Worth area, please let the owner know! I’d hate to see this place go!

My absolute, most favorite, was “The Beacon Cafe” at Hicks Airport. The move to 287 B business, brought the same good people and food to that location. Still close to our home on EML. We occasionally eat at “Wing It” at Hicks Field, watch the take offs and landings, as I’m still in aviation since the Marine Corps in ’71. Unfortunately the new place is through a lot of traffic at a much greater distance, which will preclude our spur of the moment decisions to go to breakfast. Lot of changes in 70+ years. Guess this is just another…. I wish you well…

It’s such a disappointment that this place just isn’t what it used to be. We went for breakfast and the food is very bland. Bacon was under cooked, sausage was over cooked and not very tasty. The fact that they are trying to add Mexican food in with the buffet, it just doesn’t work well. The French Toast was the only decent thing we had and the wife and I both said we wouldn’t go back. Really sad that this place has gone down hill…….

We ordered French toast and greek salad. Greek salad could have been prepared better, french toast was okay. But the service was really fast and good.

I love their food but holy cow, the service can be rough. Asked if we could order a Reuben sandwich without 1000 Island dressing… got told nope, they’re pre-made and reheated. Ew, what? Maybe she misunderstood the question? Dunno. This location is closing and apparently they already got rid of the vent fan because the air quality was terrible. I wish them well in their new space but things need to change

Such a great place to eat. Excellent food and so many options to choose from, the service was amazing, and atmosphere was so welcoming and fun. They were absolutely amazing in taking care of the 25-30+ Jeeps that came in for brunch today.

Just as our visit I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Beacon Cafe! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and the food was perfect. Their breakfast buffet offers an amazing & delicious selection of pancakes—you can tell every stack is made with care, light, fluffy, and perfectly golden. The variety is top tier too, from classic buttermilk to more inventive topped pancakes ( upside-down ), there’s something for everyone.
What really stood out was the tamale meatballs suggested to us by another restaurant patron. The blended rich, tender texture of meatballs with that bold, savory tamale flavor in such a creative way. They’re definitely a must‑try. The rest of the breakfast buffet keeps up the high standard: fresh fruit, sides, excellent coffee, perfectly scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and more.
Service was friendly and prompt, the staff made sure everything was clean and well stocked. Definitely going back…The Beacon Cafe is quickly becoming our weekend go‑to breakfast spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious morning treat!

This is one of our favorite places to go in the mornings or after church. She will not be disappointed the chefs in the back really know what they’re doing and nail it every single time I have never had a plate here I didn’t like and the waitresses are amazing. Always get you what you need never let your drinks go empty and will help you make a decision on what to order.

This place is amazing!! Only thing I can say is its a good thing I only get to go when visiting family or I’d be there every day! Wish I had taken pictures of the food. They have any kind of pancakes and french toast you could ask for and they are all delicious ❤️ Definitely try the pineapple pecan pancakes
