Love the “old fashioned diner” experience! Food is delicious! The cinnamon roll is the size of a dinner plate. My husband loves their chicken fried steak breakfast. Extremely friendly staff. Pancakes are the best. We just love this place.
Amazing classic styled diner for breakfast. Can’t speak on their lunch/brunch items but this is probably one of the most fairly priced restaurants there is. The portions are great, the breakfast is filling whilst delicious and staff is pleasant! I don’t typically compare but to me this is equivalent to homegrown but significantly cheaper and same quality if not better. 5 stars all around!
This place is soooo good I love their burritos my wife got their biscuits and gravy and she loved them for a family of 5 with 3 under 6 cost us less than 45 dollars. It was amazing definitely gonna be our new go to anytime we are in wichita. Heather definitely is the best waitress hands down will eat here again.
Wonderful cafe in the heart of downtown. Seasoned wait staff & friendly service. The wait usually isn't too long and the service is always great. Home cooked meals in generous portions. We come here most Sundays & have frequented the place for at least 20 years. This is a great place to have brunch as long as you don't mind the character of the place. If you're too bougie go to Home Grown.
The hashbrowns were my favorite part. They were so buttery and good. The sausage links tasted fresh and good. The restaurant though was dirty and extremely crowded/cramped. Definitely not wheelchair friendly. Could barely walk in the aisles unless we were facing sideways.
Decided to have a brunch date with my guy, I had never been to the Beacon but he had and said it was great. The outside is very deceiving as I thought it was a very tiny restaurant, and was nervous about the parking, but it actually has another side so you get in and out pretty fast and if their lot was full there was plenty of street space. Pumpkin was our waitress, she was fantastic! The food was amazing too nothing to complain about other than we asked for our hash browns extra crispy and they weren't but they were still enjoyed. We had the chicken fried chicken with eggs and a biscuit with gravy and the other was their Traditional meal of an open-faced English muffin with eggs, cheese and bacon. Definitely a place we will visit again! Really, the service, made it fun!
EXCELLENT!!! We were in Wichita for one day and the husband wanted breakfast. We found this gem on trip advisor and gave it a go. Greeted at the door by friendly faces and were waited on quickly. Restaurant, though in an old building was spotless! I had the liver & onions - not a dish all chefs can manage but this was just right! Not cooked to death. Tender & juicy. Real mashed potatoes and the best ranch I’ve ever had (better than Mazzios!). Hubby had a classic breakfast. All fresh, hot & cooked to perfection. Did I mention their rolls. Coffee was great too! The only thing I’d change is real butter for those incredible rolls & biscuits.
Amazing old school family diner with larger portions of quality food. The super friendly staff is what makes it so comfortable. Plus it's locally owned. I definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch.
