I'm giving this place 4 stars because I think the direction and potential are present, but some things need to be addressed. First, the food was delicious. I had the diner plate. Hash browns were well seasoned, eggs cooked to perfection and toast was just right, fresh, and not overly or underly buttered. Second, the place is small but cozy and clean. This place is NOT for large groups. A family of 11, took up 3 tables and were louder than the kitchen and the music. That's not on Beau's. That's on those reading this review. I understand a group of 6 but in a small place like this, be considerate. Maybe not best for 5 children under 5 at 8 am.
Asks of Beau's: You need a heating lamp for the food waiting to be served. It sat on the counter and with the fans going, got cold fast. Our table was right by the counter (not far to travel) yet the gravy was ice cold by the time it came to us. Add another person to check on folks, refill coffee, run plates, clean tables, seat folks, answer questions. Their job is to do every other job thats needed in the moment that's not waiting a table or cooking.
Breakfast is for breakfast. Until you become a well-oiled machine, I'd recommend breakfast only 8-11:30. Two people had chicken fried steak with green beans and a shake. And all the other tables that ordered breakfast were waiting, waiting, waiting. Once their dinner order was out, then people started getting breakfast. Because it's such a tiny spot, dinner and breakfast can't coincide unless you have it down to a science.
Turn down the music. It's way too loud. I couldn't hear the person two feet across from me, let alone the person asking my order.
