A Light That's Never Gone Out

Feeding Douglas Avenue Since 1938

Before it was The Beacon, this corner of downtown was Curley's Inn — a griddle that first fired up in 1938. The Beacon took over the watch in 1987, and not much else has changed. That's the point.

Hearty portions. Veteran waitstaff who remember your order. Regulars who've been sliding into the same booths for twenty-plus years. No reservations, no fuss — just pull up a seat and let the coffee find you.

And yes: breakfast is served all day, every day.

"The beacon's been lit for the breakfast crowd for generations."
