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. If not, then
there are plenty of other options to fit your tastes and needs. Try Romesco's on Canal Street, the atmosphere is nice, it's tasty, and expensive. You can also eat at Deli touch on Canal Street for a descent, inexpensive breakfast. Breakfast places are a little lacking
on the Beachside, but there is Dunkin' Donuts, Bagel World, and of course....the Beacon.

We walked into the Beacon around 11:30 am wanting lunch and not breakfast. The place was busy with everyone eating pancakes, omelettes, and breakfast foods. The hostess was busy and apparently said to us "take a seat" but we didn't hear her.

When we got her attention, we asked if we could see a menu. All we wanted to do was see what they offered and the prices (there wasn't a menu posted outside the building or in the window like most places do). She said "I told you to take a seat and we'll bring a menu when you sit down". Ouch! If that was the attitude before we even sat down, imagine what it would have been like if we actually stayed at ate there.

Put a menu in the window if you don't want to answer questions - what have you got to hide!

The Beacon is always a stop, at least twice a year, when in NSB. We enjoy the food and its close proximity to the beach. The staff is friendly and the service is prompt. It's a great way to start the day!

We eat at the Beacon every morning for breakfast every week that we go to New Smyrna Beach every year.

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 love you and will come back each year!
