Our Story

An American tradition & Southern landmark since 1946!

Welcome to the Beacon Drive-In, a famous Southern landmark since 1946! We're known for our Chili-Cheese A-Plenty, a chili-cheeseburger buried underneath piles of sweet onion rings and french-fried potatoes.Other favorites at the Beacon include our Sliced Pork A-Plenty, BBQ hash, and The Pig's Dinner, a loaded banana split. We're also home to the "World Famous" Beacon Iced Tea - "Southern Style": generously sweetened, with a splash of lemon, served in a cup packed with shaved ice. We sell more tea than any other single restaurant in the U.S.A.! The Beacon Drive-In is one of the few remaining legends that offer curb service. Cruise on in and let one of our friendly curb hops take your order.
