"While it's nothing fancy, their simple burgers and hotdogs are a huge hit with families. The seating inside is limited but they have a covered patio, and it's a fun experience to order from the window outside like it's a real drive in. One of the best parts is its location - I highly suggest taking a stroll through Beacon Hill Park during your outing, and even visiting the Petting Zoo (by donation) if you have time!"

Using only local Island Farms Soft Serve ice cream all these years, it’s no wonder they’ve been around for so long!. Beacon’s warm atmosphere and friendly staff continue to serve up smiles and sweet treats year round, whether you prefer to order inside or out."
