Beacon Falls Cafe

I have to say that the gal that complained about her calamari and burger didn't know what she was talking about.  I have been here many times and I can't say enough about how great the food is and the portions are huge. They are constantly changing it up with new stuff that is always amazing!  The burgers are huge and juicy definately plan on leftovers.  As for the calamari it's one of my favorite items on the menu, its this big bowl of spicy, buttery calamari with cherry peppers and lots of garlic!  My mouth is watering just thinking of it!  So if you want to complain about the food at a restaurant you might want to find one more worthy of it.  It sounds like you might be more comfortable at a place with a drive thru!

First of all, the service was excellent, the dining room was clean, and the beer was great.  Our waitress was so friendly attentive and knowledgeable; she was wonderful.  The food however was really very bad.  We came for burgers so our expectations were pretty much just good hot food.  What we got was a spicy calamari appetizer that I'm 99% certain was low-quality, frozen, pre-prepared calamari with pickled jalapeños dumped on top, served floating in a inch of the juice from the jalapeño jar.  I could have bought  a much higher quality prepared calamari in the frozen section of a supermarket.   After the awful appetizer, my husband and I wanted to cancel the order for a burger we had put in to split between us, but the waitress was so nice we decided to stay.  Though when I added a side salad to our order, I made sure to verify that they made the dressing in-house (I was afraid it would be swimming in a bad bottle dressing).  

The burger, which was supposed to be medium was very well done.  The meat was poor-quality, cheap, tough, beef cooked to a dry tasteless disc.  The menu said it was a 1/2 pound but it was really small (which was fine because it was quite bad.)  The french fries were a poor choice of a previously-frozen variety (reconstituted potatoes for sure).   When the waitress checked back I told her that the burger was well-done and she offered to take it back, but we had already each taken a couple bites, and since we were splitting it anyway, it seemed awkward so we decided to stick with it.  The side salad was nice greens and tomato, but it was small and sandy.  They brought us an unannounced free desert because of the burger (a piece of white chocolate mousse cake).  It was really nice of them and we were very gracious, but it didn't really make up for a bad meal.  I won't criticize the dessert because it was a very nice gesture.  

Overall I would say: the food is bad, the service is great, the prices are unreasonably high for the food you are getting if you order what we did.  I realize we are used to the great restaurants we have access to living in Brooklyn, but we thought Beacon was known for its great restaurants.  The best meal we ate in this town was at cheap but delicious Santana Taqueria.

I'm always on the blachhh side of eating out. I had yet to find a place where everything is consistent. The Beacon Falls Cafe is a Perfect eatery. The food is consistently GREAT comes out hot, and always DELI SH! Service is fantastic. No complaints, none nada zippo. My family and I are regulars and I thoroughly have enjoyed each time.
My husband is in shock as I find fault in most restaurants. GO!! It's a must. Rhode Island Calamari!!!!
