First off, two words, RC Cola. Who still serves this terrible beverage? Second, I have been here for an hour and still no food. I don't know what is going on in the kitchen but its something. I can see about a dozen impatient people also waiting for food. If you are hungry, keep driving. *Update after an hour we left and they still wanted to charge us for our drinks. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Nice folks for sure. The food was okay but not memorable in any way. Early Saturday afternoon they had run out of staple items like sausage. Very odd management style.

Came across this diner while in the area with my mom. We decided to stop for lunch and was pleasantly surprised when we realized they have a bar! Our waitress was a little old woman with a kick in her step who was charming and very attentive. We both ordered coffee and water. Coffee was okay but we weren't expecting much from a little old diner. My mom ordered the meatloaf meal which comes with two sides. She got the mashed potatoes with gravy and macaroni and cheese. She wasn't a big fan of the mac but thought the rest was very tasty! I ordered the "Pierogies Done The Right Way" which was a bowl of pierogies sautéed in onions and tomatoes topped with cheese and herbs. Boy was I surprised! It was delicious!! Definitely a big enough portion and only $7.95! If we find ourselves in the area again we will definitely stop here again!

For a diner, this place is a dream! My friends and I were camping up the street and woke up STARVING in the rain. After gearing up, our yelp app led us here. We got seated right away at a cozy (and dry) table in the corner. The place isn't necessarily beautiful, but what diner is?!?!? We each ordered coffee and water, so our waitress gave herself a break, and hooked us up with a pitcher of each. Smart move on her part. We each ordered starters and then egg dishes, and every single thing we had was delicious. I went for the Fried Pickles as a starter and the 4 spears were delicious, as was the dipping sauce. For my entree, had a broccoli/cheddar omelette and i loved the option of the hash brown. I wish it was cooked a bit longer as it was very lightly fried, but man... that compared to home fries? There's just no comparison. My rye toast was toasty and buttered and my eggs were delish and they sure didn't skimp on the cheese. I also have to throw some love to our waitress. We were there for A WHILE and she was really entertaining the whole time. Very sweet and approachable, and she had an awesome sense of humor. I really enjoyed her, and she was on her A-Game too. Win win! Bottom line- next time we're up there, we'll be back- rain or no-rain!

For relatively small town, this place packs a punch in kindness, fast service, and good food. Had some delicious pancakes with fresh fruit. Nothing would stop me from coming back.

I used to go here all the time when I worked in the area. The staff was always very nice and the food was decent.
(4)Michael B.
I have been going to this diner for years and the food was always good and hot and yes sometimes the service is kinda slow but when they are packed you have to understand a little wait no big deal. Just try it out it's worth the trip

I wanted a breakfast sandwich, which was not on the extensive menu. The friendly waitress told me they can make what ever I want! I asked for two eggs, fried with broke yolk, sausage, and cheese on wheat. I was in a hurry and wanted something I could eat in the car. It took while, but I finally got it. It was hard to eat due to the sausage, but flavor wise, it was really good. When I have time, I'll do it again, or better yet, stay there and eat it fresh. Huge menu, lots of choices.

This is nowhere near a Jersey style diner. Lot's of locals...of the creepy kind. Food is subpar. Stopped here for breakfast on our way to a tree hunt in PA. They were overwhelmed by the amount of people being seated (60 of us alone). They did a good job of making it very convenient and being prepared. Food did take a while but it was expected. Eggs were ok. Sausage was fowl. Had one bite only. Pancakes were of the package kind (I could still taste the powder). But hey, it's a diner in PA...what would I expect. Waitresses were all friendly. Bonus, they bring over a thermos of coffee to the table.

To make a long story short, service was terrible, breakfast was unrecognizable n tasted like a mess. In DESPERATE need of a remodel, very run down. Except for the hostess, did not feel welcomed at all. Will not be a repeat customer.
(1)Cory H.
Not great, but not bad. It's decent enough to merit a repeat visit, wherein the only reason I'd go back to the Boulevard is to watch it burn to the ground.
(3)Charly J.
A good selection of food that is just a notch above typical diner fare, plus they have a full, though limitedly stocked, bar. The servers are pleasant, there's plenty of tables to sit at, even their salad bar, though very small, is satisfying. Not the best but definitely not the worst.
(3)Dave O.
Good basic diner food at low prices.

Diners are few and far between where I am.. this place is far enough for me and I've given it the benefit of the doubt most of the time, but I've had enough of the clueless cook, so i've boycotted . Some entrees are o.k., but chef cannot cook eggs to suit for the life of him. *everytime* without fail, my eggs have been 'over easy' when I ask for 'over medium' .. they show up with the disgusting clear gook and extremely runny. Being desperate for place to cook me breakfast on the run, i've tried to switch to 'omelets' ... they are cooked at such high temps, that the entire ends of the omelette are fried up and disgusting. yet, the center of the omelette is, yet again, clear and slimy like it wasn't cooked enough. they need a new breakfast chef. enough said. I have boycotted this place..
(1)Jonathan A.
Service is SLOW.. always under staffed.. Servers agree and always apologize.. Food is good diner food but the wait will make you lose your appetite... If your on a schedule avoid it at all cost..
(2)Gayle M.
Breakfast is great, but the service is so slow! Don't go if your in hurry! The decor is very dated.
(3)Angelina E.
There's really not that many options in the Carbon County area to eat as far as diners. The food is just ok. Nothing a little salt can't fix. Outdated decor. Waitresses are nice though. They are in a great location, but doesn't look like they are investing in it. If they did and revamped the place and updated the place and menu, they can attract the tourist crowd and the younger folks in the area.

AVOID!!! I have never written a bad review but I have warn everyone not to go here EVER!!! We tried to eat here twice both times the service was HORRIBLE and RUDE no water or coffee refills for an hour - i was even ignored by the cashier! The food came out an HOUR after we ordered our simple chicken salad club and an medium rare Italian burger. The burger was a hockey puck with a rancid pure crushed tomato sauce - totally inedible i sent it back but was still expected to pay for the thing until i requested it to be removed from our check (which took another 20 minutes of our waitress disappearing into the kitchen). I also tried the salad bar which should have been condemned by the health department. Oxidized mayo salads and slimy greens - i had a few bites before my better judgment took control. I cannot say it in stronger words - this was my WORST DINNING EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE.
(1)Mark N.
The Beacon used to be my go-to local restaurant. I have lately fallen off of going there mostly because of the service. They are VERY nice but they are notoriously slow. It is really a matter of which waitress you get. If you are lucky, it will be polite, speedy, and off you go. If you are unlucky you will begin to contemplate waling into the kitchen to help them out. Big secret: the best thing on the menu might actually be the chicken quesadillas. They make an excellent breakfast as well.

The worst breakfast I ever paid money for. I ordered a simple breakfast, scrambled eggs, toast and coffee. The eggs were runny, the toast was dry and my coffee was weak and had an oil streak floating on the surface. This was just plain lousy, even if it was cheap.

I highly advise you stay away from this place. The service was extremely slow. We waited over and hour to get our food and the food came out FROZEN. They do not use any sort of fresh ingredients, everything is just completely frozen and then microwaved. Once our frozen food arrived, it took another 20 minutes to get someone to pay attention to us to re-microwave our food. During this whole time, our server never once checked in on us. No drink refills or apologies about the wait time at all. It was the worst dining experience I have ever had. Avoid this place like the plague.
(1)Shawn S.
As others have stated the service here is really slow, but the food isn't all that bad. The only problem I had with the food was the portion size seemed to be on the smaller side, however if you order any of the specialty fries you will get your fill. I prefer the cajun fries, they seem to have multiple seasonings added to the cajun spice, napkins are needed. They also come with a special sauce, which is really hard to describe the taste of. The dessert menu consisted mostly of pies, the one I had was kind of bland. While the service was slow, our waitress was still friendly. The only other downfall is the overall location. The parking lot is rather small, so if the place is really busy parking can be quite a challenge.

This is the second (and last) time we will ever eat at this restaurant. I understand that places can be packed over major holidays, but that's where proper management and staffing arrangements come into play to ensure the customer doesn't suffer. The three of us came in at 11:45 and ordered lunch: Two turkey club sandwiches and a ruben with french fries. It wasn't until about 1:20 before the server approached us and said the food was coming up. At that point, I was opting to just leave - but we were catching up with friends so waiting a little longer did not seem to be an issue. I felt sorry for the customers who came in after us that had children! The food was nothing to write home about - it was clear their kitchen was slammed, as the French Fries were made in bulk, and dumped in a pan - mine were warm. The service was nothing you'd expect from a restaurant, but the lack of communication, eagerness to pass us by to avoid giving us some type of update made the experience worse. The first time I was there, I came alone and ordered breakfast. The hostess placed me in a corner table, where the server did not recognize I was waiting to order for about 20 minutes. When my simple order of Eggs, Toast, and bacon came out, I received bacon from the bottom of the pan; greasy and burnt. I didn't leave them a tip then and I didn't leave a tip this time around, it is the responsibility of the servers to ask themselves: if they ordered the food, and it came out like that, would I eat it? Apparently not - because the server at that time quickly dropped my food off and went on to the next table. If you are offered to eat at the Beacon, kindly pass. There are other great restaurants which have prompt service and food cooked properly... McDonalds, Subway, and even the Gas Station across the Street has a better reputation for quality and service than this restaurant.

We travel over to PA from NJ for the races at Mahoning Speedway.This is our regular stop. I can get a beer and a decent meal that won't break my wallet. It's a good stop.

Gyro, edible, meat cook from frozen, very little, onion rings slightly over cooked, waitress ok, food service very slow, no decor, seems to cater to the elderly.
