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.
