The Beacon of the Swamp - Spartanburg, SC


I had extremely high hopes walking into the Beacon in Spartanburg. After all, it has high ratings everywhere, and is probably the most well-known restaurant in the Palmetto State.



I have a few questions, with the first being, I want to know what y'all are smoking, because I want some of it. Whatever it is turns pumpkins into carriages, and fairytale sprinkles abound. This was the absolute worst burger, if you can call it that, I've ever wrapped my lips around and prepared my beard to catch the drippings. It was small.


It had no flavor, and the worst part - it was as soggy as a swamp in the heat of the summer.


In addition to the swamp burger, there was also the issue of cleanliness. This place looked like it hadn't been mopped since the last full moon. A wolf's den would be cleaner than this establishment. When we finally managed to find a clean table, we found that the seats were dirty.



The tea. Oh the tea. It wasn't sweet. Yes, I asked for sweet tea.

The Beacon is receiving a "Fork It!"


Final Thoughts


If it looks like a swamp and smells like a swamp - it's a swamp.
