The Beacon Bar & Grill

All around excellent experience. Food until late and it was very good. Pastas, steaks, sandwiches, burgers and more. Good cold beer. Great service. Retro Cigarette Machine.

Great food with a fun local atmosphere. Enjoyed my visit. 03/2025 - Visited again, and had another great experience. Wonderful service and a great fish meal. Great drink choices too!

I’ve been by this place since 1986 and never stopped. I stopped today for the first time to meet a very professional and friendly bartender Emma. She not only was friendly but kept the three customers and myself entertained while I waited for my food. Getting back to the lake house, the food was not only delicious but great portions! I recommend this establishment to all who pass by. Stop in and enjoy good service and good food! Signed Bill from outside Philly.

Great spot right down the street from my work at tigon golf carts. Good food good service would recommend.

Nice laid back bar area separated from the dining area. I sat at one of the high tops near the bar and enjoyed a dozen wings. Decent middle age crowd for a Friday evening. There is a pool table, shuffle board table, and video gaming to keep you entertained.

Good food a nice selection and large portions. Far pricing!

Food was excellent! Great atmosphere, fair prices, can’t wait to go again!

Nice place with good food and terrific, friendly staff. Country feel.

First time here in the 15 years. Food was good. Service was okay, but we did come in the wrong door so I don't think they recognized that we were there for a few. Pricing was higher (much) than the menu price. It is posted, but some prices we 50% higher. Wow. Would like to go back and try some other dishes. Maybe I'll wait for prices to settle.

I love the Beacon Good local hangout for the family or your buddies in the bar Food's good. Prices are good. People are good. I'm not a fancy guy. I don't really want a fancy place. I want a happy place near my happy place, Union Dale, PA I want wings and a steak and French onion soup I want a drink and I want to chat it up with friendly and staff I love a place that welcomes families, skiers, hunters, bicycles, and off-roaders I get it all at the Beacon

Hostess seating us noted, could do better when asked, how are you doing. Menu prices are not what you pay, a piece of paper on the menu notes prices may differ than what is on the menu. This note has been present since at least 2022 and the menu price on all web sites shows the same as in the restraint. Example, a beacon burger notes $8.85 when in fact it is $13.80 (57% increase). Every item I asked about was higher that what the menu noted. The burger I went with tasted like the grill needed to be cleaned or it was burnt. How can a business run for years without updating their menu. The waitress did not even know what the current prices of any food item was without checking first. This may be an okay place for locals to drink at the bar but definitely not recommended to eat.

Food is always top notch whenever I visit and the waitresses work more diligently than any restaurant I've seen. They handle the bar and the dining room incredibly well. Food is typically quick out of the kitchen. The feel of the place is classy and exciting

by far the best bar in town. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are immaculate and always consistent. The wings and sauces are fresh and made in house. Definitely worth trying if your in the area.

One of the most amazing dining experiences I have had in a long time. Food was A+ and our server, Gabby, made sure to make us feel like family.

My general rule of thumb is if a bar has shuffle board, it's a 5 star place in my book and the Beacon is no exception. Nothing fancy going on here but the food & drinks are solid and consistent. Our bartender/server, Kelly, was a fanatic sport when we had a large group of people in for a night of drinking. She made us delicious green tea shots & cut us all fresh lemon wedges for our lemon drops. I also stopped in for food and I'm now convinced they have the best curly fries I've ever had. You can't go wrong with the Beacon.

Our go to place. Local establishment. Good food. Always sit in the bar for a relaxing time.

Good Food. Good Service. Reasonably Priced. Bar area has seating or separate dining area

The service was great, the food was amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly and the dessert was delicious.

Stopped in for a quick lunch while passing through the area, and were very happy with our visit. Great food and very friendly staff. I had the chicken parm hoagie, which was excellent - tender chicken and nicely seasoned. Dining partner had the prime rib hoagie special, which was also delicious.

I stopped here for a quick lunch back in September and I was very pleasantly surprised. The burger I had was delicious and ridiculously cheap (less than $6 for a burger and chips, nuts!). Our waitress was very nice and our service was great. I would highly recommend this place for a good meal at a ridiculously good price!

Best bar in Pa. the chef has local source ingredients. The food and drink specials are updated seasonally. I prefer the beacon to any bar in center city Philadelphia

Everything they make is Delicious, and the monthly specials are always diffrent & awesome !!! Satuday nite is Prime Rib nite, Go !!! (If you dont make it they make Prime Rib hoagies on Sunday !!)

This is my favorite place to go when im in the area. Food is great and very good prices

We came here for a private event. The restaurant did a wonderful job and the service was remarkable!! This place is divided up between a restaurant area and a bar area both very spacious. The bar has a pool table, shuffleboard, and an electric dart board all fun to play! The service was top notch and each staff member was very helpful and made sure we had a enjoyable evening. We greatly enjoyed the food as well from the array of appetizers to the entrees. I would definitely go back when in the area.

I wish there was a "horrible" rating to choose. Simply "not good" does not describe how ridiculous this situation was. We had been going every Wednesday evening with friends for dinner for a few months. We would have between 4 and 7 of us at the table, on any give Wednesday. Late July we showed up as usual (4 of us this time) and it was an extremely hot day. The dining room was much hotter than usual and we asked the waitress to turn on the AC. She left, came back and said they'd lost the remote. We offered to stand on a chair to turn it on manually and she left the room again, returning with the bar tender, who rudely said they would not turn on the AC for only 4 people in the dining room. What?!? We got up and left, going to another restaurant. The bar tender even had the nerve to say the power was out west of the restaurant and there would be no places able to served us if we left. We will NOT be back. I have told everyone we know about this encounter and will continue to do so.

I took my family to The Beacon and we were all pleased with our dinner. The place is more of a bar with a roadhouse kind of environment, but there is an adjoining dining room with a sparse decor. However, the food was pretty good. They have a mix of homemade items and others that are obviously not. My wife had the French Onion soup and enjoyed it. She couldn't tell if it was homemade, but she enjoyed it nonetheless. It was prepared in the classic way with bread and melted cheese in a personal sized crock. The Chicken wings were very good served with a garlic mild or hot sauce with slices of fresh garlic. The Fried Chicken was a half bird and homemade. It wasn't a spicy recipe, but it was very crispy and well prepared. My daughter ate every piece and was happy with her selection. Unfortunately, the French fries were typical frozen fries and underwhelming. The Chicken Parmesan sandwich was well made, and it was enjoyed by my son, but he wasn't thrilled with the sauce, but we're from northern New Jersey, so your chicken parmigiana had better be great to please us. I had the meat loaf that they claimed was homemade, but I'm not too sure about that. However, it was served with a nice gravy and was delicious. The mashed potatoes were homemade and delicious. The meatloaf and mashed potatoes were served with pickled beets, and I enjoyed those too. Overall it was a nice friendly place to eat and the food was well above average. I would recommend if you're in the area.

My wife and I heard good things about this restaurant, and we pass it frequently, so decided to try it one evening. We both had the home made meat loaf. It was not home made, tasted bland, and mine tasted a bit off too. Instant mashed potatoes, gravy from a mix. My wife had the french onion soup, and it was terrible. Service was fine, but it did not make up for food.

Stopped here Saturday night for a few drinks and some food. I was pleasantly surprised with the food, was good. Bar tenders were nice and attentive to our group.

The Beacon offers large portions of good food at a reasonable price. The staff in the dining room were attentive and friendly. Dinner and drinks for five came to less than $75. If you are in the Uniondale area you should check the Beacon out.

Interior was very disappointing. And service was cold just like the weather outside. If it wasn't for the fact that it's so cold outside n the next restaurant was miles away I would've left as soon as we walked in. Food was ok. We had chicken parm. The sauce was good but the chicken was just a breaded cutlet not pounded and thin. The Italian wedding soup was nothing special. The desserts were too sweet - got the truffles and peanut butter pie. Plus our server was rude and not very welcoming. I wanted to hang my coat but the coat rack was full of old t shirts n sweatshirts. Like their pile of list and found. After a long day of skiing treat yourself to somewhere nicer. Stay away nothing here.

We decided to eat at the bar and stay for a few drinks after dinner. The homemade pierogies were delicious and the wings are incredibly good. The service is friendly and warm, prices are reasonable, large serving sizes... it has a real neighborhood feel.. we will be going back again and again.

The chicken parm was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were courteous and informative, the outdated decor is only thing I'd like to see changed.
