Beacon Drive-In

This Spartanburg favorite has been slinging out diner classics like BLTs, clubs and its famous chili cheese burgers for nearly 80 years. The Beacon Drive-In is located at 255 John B. White Sr. Boulevard #6047 in Spartanburg.

Here's what LoveFood had to say:

"Opened in 1946, the Beacon Drive-In is both a historical landmark and an enormously popular fast food joint. There's a huge menu, but this place is most famous for its Chili-Cheese-A-Plenty burger, a chili cheeseburger loaded with copious amounts of sweet onion rings and French-fried potatoes. Fun fact: it also claims to be the biggest single seller of iced tea in the US, shifting 62,500 gallons a year."
