Beacon Drive In - Victoria

Place has gone down hill unfortunately, used to be much better. The burgers are sub par and have been changed out for a cheaper substitute. The chicken and fries suffer from same issue. They are crisp but exceedingly average and both lack flavour. Icecream is has been changed and also cheapened. Tasted very oily with a little milk, like cool whip, lacked flavour orsubstance. It would have been 1 star but the staff were attentive, professional, cant say enough good things about them. Evenwith all the hustle and bustle they were on top of things. Portions are good as are prices. Store was clean.

We were in the area on a cruise, and stopped in for some poutine about 30-45 min before they closed. Our cashier seemed new, but was nice enough. They have a $10 (CAD) minimum for credit cards. The poutine wasn't bad. Not the absolute best I've had, but maybe 8/10. Definitely worth the stop. While nice enough, the staff seemed slightly irritated about me only having USD, or CC, and coming in so close to close.

Down-to-earth and freshly made food that is honest and tasty. We only ordered a simple cheeseburger, onion rings, and a soft-served cone, and everything exceeded our expectations. We can tell that the food was made with care and heart. The soft-served cone was mountain tall. And in this day and age of crazy inflation, it did not go unnoticed that Beacon Drive-in had kept their prices very reasonable, and I appreciate that. But most important of all, their staff were friendly and pleasant in a way that made us feel they were happy to be there. Good job! What a gem of a restaurant!

Food was really good. A nice place to stop by for lunch. We thought it was a drive through but there is actually parking and seating available. We had the eggs salad, chicken fingers, chicken burger and oyster burger. Oyster was my favorite and a definite must try. Oh the ice-cream was also certainly good.

I love this place. I've been going here for decades, since I was a kid. The location is great, being right across the road from Beacon Hill Park, and only about a block from the ocean (Dallas rd). The food is typical, yummy, diner food. The ice cream is very creamy, with lots of options for dipped flavors, sundays, etc. Being an older place, there's not a whole lot of seating inside (only a handful of booths), but there's more seating outside. There's also very little parking, but you can walk from Beacon Hill Park if you've parked there. You can order inside or at a walk up window outside. There's also an outside washroom. Service is fairly quick, and friendly.
