I loved this place so much.. My sis and I would come out to Beacon by bus just to have a good time over good food. You could tell everything was made with heart, and the staff were always so kind. I want to wish Barbara the best, and to thank her for her service and for the memories ❣️

Absolutely amazing. I ordered the whiting, with greens, and yams. Good sized portions. I asked for fish fried hard which was done to perfection. Nice, quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Prices were reasonable.

Had the best food at BJ's!!! After a day hike, a group of 10 friends and I showed up starving and already turned away from other Beacon hot spots. BJ's took us in immediately, no wait, and made us feel right at home! Our server told us about how his grandma started the restaurant 45 years ago and still makes the desserts. I got the fried tilapia which was incredible, with AMAZING sides of Mac and cheese and buttery melt in your mouth mashed potatoes. The cornbread is also a must, wayyy better than many places I've been to as a southerner. And the banana cream pie was so good, not too sweet and just filling enough. Can't recommend this restaurant enough, will be back one day!

I went to BJ’s today for the first time after hearing how amazing the food was, and it did not disappoint! Ms Brenda was so kind, and after having a conversation with her, after expressing we were in a bit of a rush she shared that they’ve been dealing with some recent family health issues which has resulted in them being a bit shortstaffed but to rest assured that she would take care of it, and it was just such a kind gesture! I can’t wait to go back. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the fried chicken, mac & cheese, and cornbread, and my friend had the fish, greens and yams. Everything was seasoned to perfection, not too sweet, and you could tell that the staff was doing their very best! 10/10

Our fried chicken and collard greens were hands down the best I've had outside Louisiana. Visiting Brenda's place is like visiting my Gramma's kitchen. Thanks to the whole family for your gracious hospitality. We'll be back for more!

BJ’s Restaurant in Beacon—what a delightful find! The service was warm and attentive, and the food truly hit the mark—from hearty soul food staples like mac & cheese, collard greens, and fried chicken to flavorful specials that seemed cooked with love. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere made our meal feel even more special. If you’re ever in Beacon, do yourself a favor and stop by—this place is a real gem!

The fried chicken was phenomenal. Very clean batter. Just the right amount of crisp. Customer service is top tier. Almost 50 years in business and when you dine there you will quickly begin to understand why. Cheers to 50 more 🥂

Its best to call in and place your order . The orders average about 30 minutes because its made fresh. These lady at the front is very nice and direct lol. She may seem tired but they have just been carrying the flavor of Beacon on their back for the past 50 years baby. The sweet potatoe pie is also very good. Anytime I come up around here .. stopping at BJ's a must . Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love to support black owned business any chance I get

If you want to feel like you’ve stumbled into grandma’s kitchen and get your comfort food fix, this is the spot. Brenda was so friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. We asked her what was good on the menu, and she said everything. Based on what we ordered, she definitely wasn’t lying.

Every time I visit this soul food gem, there’s one thing you can count on, I’m walking out with two cakes: the Chocolate Marble and the Lemon Cake. They’re my absolute favorites and have become a non-negotiable part of every visit. The Chocolate Marble is rich, moist, and swirled to perfection, with a flavor that feels like a warm hug. The Lemon Cake? Bright, tender, and just the right amount of tangy, it’s pure comfort in every bite. These cakes are the sweet soul of the menu, and I can’t leave without them! Ever since I’ve had their cakes I no longer order from anywhere else…
