We started off with KBBQ Spouts & Buffalo dill pickle fries and they both were excellent. After a bit of a wait our burgers and fries came out hot and ready to get smashed. We all ordered different burgers (Table of 4) and after the appetizers we knew we were in for a treat. All in Burger Paradox was stellar and I'm now I'm a food coma writing this review. Damn. 5 Stars

Walked in with a small group of 3 of us on a busy Grandma's marathon weekend Saturday night and we…read morewere lucky enough to get seated at the bar pretty much right away. We were waited on by the bartender right away who gave great drink and food recommendations. Their entire menu is very unique from the cocktails to the apps to the various wings and burgers. Are you at a different cocktail and I had the orange shrimp which came with a popsicle in it which was incredible. It reminded me of the Flintstones push-ups from when I was a kid. We split the deal cheese cards and we all got a different burger to try so we could share. They smash style burgers and we really enjoyed them all (paul b'onion, wompling, whata Gouda). They also have four of their own house made sauces which were all incredible. The fries and Brussels on the side were also all delicious. The interior decor and painting murals on the wall are all super unique as well as the lights in the ceiling give a very cool vibe to the place. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a burger or even a fun drink!

I had the special, a simple cheeseburger and fries. Simple it was not. This will now be my go-to place for a burger whenever I'm in town. The burger is never frozen, the fries are real and fresh cut (but they do it right and soak them in water). OMG, I was expecting a typical flat little burger and a half a dozen bites of fries...oh no, bring your appetite my friend! The burger was juicy and thick but also fully cooked. The fries were divine! They were golden brown with a perfect crisp, skin on for flavor, and not too skinny nor thick AND didn't leave me wanting more. I ALWAYS want more fries. I made the mistake of saying "no" to tomato and lettuce and onion. They are usually a little limp leaf of nearly white lettuce and a paper thin slice of lacy flavorless wet tomato. Nope, not here. I saw them preparing other baskets as I was sitting at the counter awaiting my order...the fixings were thick, bright, and crunchy! Don't skip it. I'm also super excited to try their other dinner selections like meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. I have a hunch the potatoes won't be instant. I'm curious about breakfast too, although I'm never in town that early. They have a small selection of desserts as well. They also serve my favorite root beer, 1919, along with 1919 cream soda which I didn't even know they had! Just like the quality and quantity of food, the service is what I remember it used to be. I was greeted with a genuine warm and welcome smile. I wad given an appropriate amount of time to decide before being pestered multiple times. My questions were answered without a look of annoyance and I wasn't made to feel like a bother. The small talk was personable and appropriate. Service sets the tone and I felt comfortable and belonging. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars was it kinda yucked me out nobody wore gloves at any point. Grabbing fistful of potatoes out of a bucket of water would require a type of dishwashing glove, and I get that they are fried in hot oil so that didn't bother me as much. It was more the handling the raw fixings without gloves and noting that the lettuce (as beautiful as it was), and I'm assuming the other vegetables, we're not washed prior. I don't think many restaurants do for the reason of preparation speed and ingredient longevity. That part bothers me everywhere because all I can think of is pesticides and germs. I don't typically end on a less than positive note but, I knew this one was going to be lengthy and people's attention spans short. I lied, I will say this...I left very happy and satisfied and NOT smelling of grease! In summary, GO!

Typically, people sitting at a bar drinking alcohol use colorful language. My friend used some colorful language bartender was very rude and said you need to stop talking like that.

I realize this is not illegal or against any ordinances, but it certainly is inappropriate to sit a child at a bar where adults are consuming alcoholic beverages. The Beacon used to be a fun place to go not anymore. I will not go back, but the bartender must have been still in high school since she was wearing braces, I did not leave a tip.

Everything looked super cute but there were coloring and crayon scribbles on everything. It was on the books, the tables the displays etc. I asked a local friend and they said this is normal. When the waitress went to take our drink orders she was ok slightly rude. We looked at our friend and he said they aren't known for their service and can be a little rude. I asked if it's like Dicks Last Resort and he laughed and said no. I think she was okay after that and was like a standard waitress at more restaurants after . I would just say dont expect bending over backwards to make the customer number 1 service . I'm okay with that. They have some very interesting and yummy selections for burgers . I got excited for a blue cheese Burger. I will say that my Pattie was very well done and the bun was on point. The blue cheese dressing top.... Not what I want for a blue cheese burger .
