You don't go to the Beacon for the food, necessarily, but more for the atmosphere. The waitresses are friendly and probably know your order before you get the chance to utter it. Be sure to ask for real butter on the side. more

We never miss the Beacon during our trips to NSB! It is a great place to grab breakfast before the beach and a lunch break from the beach. It is very busy most of the time. It is about 100m from the beach on Flagler. This simple, chaming diner is a popular spot for locals and the prices are cheap.... more

Ok California people....The Beacon is the local greasy spoon. It's an average place with average food...so if you want a Denny's like atmosphere, albeit cheaper than denny's, then come here.

This place is packed for a reason.....the food and the service is absolutely the best for breakfast anywhere! The portions are so large and the prices are so incredible. Coffee is great and so is the service. Beacon -- we... more

My wife and I have eaten at the Beacon Restaurant on Flagler Ave many times over the years and always enjoyed the friendly service and consistent food. On our recent visit to the restaurant my wife ordered the greek omlet for breakfast. After tasting the feta cheese in the omlet- something she has enjoyed for years- she noted it was... more

My wife and I stumbled across the Beacon while we were dating in different colleges and met in New Smyrna as a halfway point. We drove around for an hour looking for a place for lunch, and saw a few cop cars at the Beacon so assumed that they were either being robbed or very good since the locals were... more
