When I lived in Nashville this was my favorite after hours spot to come to! My ex and I even wrote a skit based loosely on the cook!
Always ejoy myself at BB Kings.
I grew up eating at the Beacon Light and I greatly enjoyed eating there. It has a very down home atmosphere. You felt comfortable to come in your Sunday Best or just jeans and a t-shirt. They serve good old country cooking.
Fair prices, hometown atmosphere, large enuf portions and great suthrin cookin..THAT is the Beaconlight!
Wonderful ho-made hot biscuits 'by the basketfull' and they feature two kinds of ho-made preserves daily. You may wanna even buy some jars of preserves!
My personal favorite meal is country ham, home fries and scrambled eggs w biscuits and either sourgum or peach preserves and gravy!! ...aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Come HUNGRY!!! Leave happy!! Fred Arnold
Re: “Bailey and Cato Family Restaurant”
My parents - visiting from out of state - wanted to try this out. Because I am well aware of the portions at meat-n-three's around here, I got the pulled pork sandwich which was average. The BBQ sauce was not the kind of sauce that I like - too sweet with no other options besides...well...sweet BBQ sauce.
However, my parents got the ribs and two sides which were fantastic (and were miserable the rest of the day...this is why I chose the sandwich). I didn't want to wait 20 min. for the fried chicken or I would have probably given this a five star rating. Atmosphere is exactly what it should be...little to no style, limited seating, and B-movies on the small TV for your viewing pleasure. Isn't that what you are looking for in a place like this?
If you want to go in there and have a conversation with the server, don't do it. It's not gonna happen. Don't talk on your cell phone unless you are done ordering and paying for your food. They are there to serve you a big plate of goodness and don't want to mess with the small talk or customers holding up the line while they ask their buddy if they want mild or hot BBQ sauce. Get in there, stuff yourself silly and get out. 'Nuff said.
