It hasn’t taken long for people to notice there’s a boom happening in Spartanburg, and you see evidence of that in our restaurants. A perfect spot for foodies to have new experiences while tasting what Spartanburg has to offer!
Nostalgia is present throughout the city, even though it’s under redevelopment. One of the more nostalgic restaurants you’ll find in the city is the famous Beacon Drive-In, which has been open since 1946. The restaurant may look frozen in time with its vinyl seating, malt shakes, and regular vintage car shows, but it’s a perfect staple of Spartanburg’s past.
There is a reason why this restaurant has not changed much over the years. There is no need to change it; it is perfect, especially for foodies who love anything homemade. With over one-hundred-fifty items from a banana-mayo sandwich on white bread to sliced turkey, footlong Coney hotdogs, fried pickles, and Frito chili pie, to apple, peach, and pecan pie, not to mention malts and shakes, deciding what you want may take a while. It’s perfect for comfort food, loving foodies.
The Beacon has been featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins, Dives, and also sells more iced tea in the U.S. than anywhere else.
