We've been here a few times. The only thing that I think is really good here is the fried food. Their fish and chips, shrimp platter, fried shrimp and fries are really good. I've tried a couple of other non-fried dishes and I thought those dishes were okay at best. So when I come here to eat - go bad and get the fried food. It's fried perfectly - golden and crisp. read more

Oh my goodness, this restaurant is a god send for gluten free eaters, especially celiac folk! The owner has celiac so you can absolutely trust they know how to keep us safe. From the very start, Loreen (sorry if I misspelled that) provided cheerful reassurance of food safety and wonderful service all around. Massive kudos to you! Not only is the food celiac safe, but it is also unbelievably tasty! I almost cried when I bit into my fish sandwich. My sibling loves to get an adult serving of the chicken tenders (just ask for it). We also got the apple strudel cake which was shockingly fluffy and a perfect post-big lunch compliment. Chef's kiss! My only wish is that i wish you were in San Diego! But, I will mostly certainly come back every time I'm in town. read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant with delicious food and very friendly and attentive service. We came as a family of four - had calamari strips, burger, fish and chips, soup, and pasta - all meals were 5 of 5. We are in the area for a few days and are planning on eating here again before leaving. read more

Best gluten and dairy free fish and chips ever! Looks and tastes like beer battered fish. Great experience here every time we go. They ask if anyone in your party needs gluten free before they seat you. read more

Comfort!!!! Man this food screams comfort food and that's a good thing. I had the parm/lemon chicken and mashed potatoes. It was so good...took me back to the bars that i experience in Ireland. I debated the fish and chips so now i have to go back and try them. This is not your typical fried food bar it's real comfort food. You even get that cozy feel when you are dining in here. Check it out! read more

Gluten free Fish Fry? Yes, please! And Beckhams is excellent! Even for the non GF friends. Great atmosphere and excellent service! Thank you so much for bring back Friday night fish fight for me!! read more

We haven't been here for a while. We were very happy with our server, the food was very good Corned beef and cabbage with potatoes, carrots. we were with some great neighbors celebrating St. Patrick's day. This place was packed. We all had a great time and everyone liked the food that we ordered. My Corned beef was the best I can remember. Mikey says try it you'll like it!!! read more

Met up with a friend and her family for dinner at this celiac friendly establishment. Everything was delicious, but the service was quite slow and the waitress kind but confused by our requests. We had a five year old with us so speedy food is always helpful with children. The gluten free fish sandwich was excellent, I was very excited to see gluten free desserts, but they were disappointing. I would definitely return for the Greek salad and the fish sandwich, but skip dessert next time. I do have to say, I felt fine after eating here- which means it's safe for celiacs!! read more

Bizarre experience on our first and only visit. The bar staff was strange and unsure how to do their job. We had one glass of wine and bolted. Very surreal so we didn't even order food. Will not be back. read more

The gluten free fish and chips were the best I have ever had!! The service was great.

Always a good experience at Becham's. Never had a bad meal. Annie and her staff are the best

I have celiac so eating out isn't the easiest especially when out of town. Was so excited about Beckhams's! First thing they ask when greeted if anyone needs a gluten free menu! A lot of options even fried shrimp & fish & chips. We both ordered gluten free fish & chips nice crispy batter. Even the server likes the gluten free batter better. Good service nice atmosphere even an outside seating area under cover. Would highly recommend this place even if you don't eat gluten free. If you are gluten free a very safe place to eat. Hopefully we'll be back before our vacation is over. read more

Great local restaurant....and the owner is wonderful! Extensive gluten-free items on the menu. I ordered a cheese burger with fries - it was juicy and very tasty. Overall, I recommend eating here when you are in South Sarasota. read more

No No No . It's hard to explain how bad -on so many levels- this joint is. Sadly they've been going down hill for over a decade. Unapologetic terrible service and then served spoiled meat and asked," Can we get you something else????" May Beckham's R.I.P. read more

Tried out there new location last night. They are tucked in to a corner of a plaza along 41. My wife ordered a salad which was made up of greens she didn't like. We both ordered their fish and chips. The fish was a nice thick piece of fish with a crisp batter. The coleslaw needed more dressing and wasn't very good. The steak fries weren't very good . The star of the dinner was a dessert. Pineapple Ginger ice cream pie. Our server did a great job. read more

We order 2 dinner portions of Fish and Chips and they were ghastly different in portions. Not at all what we were expecting, even though all of the good reviews. It was $60 for carry-out and not worth the money! read more

Gluten free entrees were good but was lacking something . The restaurant didn't have a fine dining feel to it . We were not overly impressed . We did like the gluten free Apple strudel dessert . read more

OK, I'm now a fan. This third attempt for Beckham's is finally a success. The menu is toned down, but still has a good array of options, whether appetizers, sandwiches, salads, or entrees there is something for you to enjoy. I was drawn to the half order of the baby back ribs, with french fries and a Caesar salad. My salad was fresh and crispy. The dressing was good. The ribs were fall of the bone delicious and cooked with just the right amount of seasoning to give them flavor without overbearing the meat. I asked for the BBQ sauce on the side and I really like the sweet and tangy flavor. The fries are steak fries and come seasoned. There is a full bar, that has some nice wine options. The dining inside has a couple of booths, high tops and tables. The bar also offers seating. There is outdoor seating and YES Dogs are allowed. The servers are friendly and the food came out quickly. Great addition to this area and will totally come back. read more

It's good food especially if you're wanting something fairly quick. It is kind of hidden in a corner of a strip mall. The service was kind and friendly. The place kind smelled odd, which threw me off a little bit. Overall it is 3 stars, not the best and not the worst by any means. I would come back. read more

Eaten here twice and both times the food was absolutely fantastic. More than just bar food. Everything was fresh and tasted great. The service was a bit slow, as there was only one waitress working and the lunch time crowd was coming in but she was very friendly and professional. We will definitely be back. read more

We had a great lunch here today with excellent service! The food was super yummy! We sat at the bar and had Yingling to drink! The beer was cold! The restaurant is hooked onto Haverty''s furniture store, so it was perfect just to be able to shop there and walk right into this restaurant for lunch! The place is cute and it got real busy by the time we left! I would highly recommend! read more

Awesome experience! The gluten-free menu is life changing :) So happy to have found this gem. My new favorite spot!

They have the best chicken salad salad around. Dog friendly and really great hamburgers too.

I'm blown away by the amount of gluten free options! The gf menu was extensive and everything I got was great! I don't remember ever having a gf fried fish! We also tried the lamb lollipops and they were incredible too! Great service. No wait time for a Monday night. Great little pub. read more

This bar has that comfortable small bar feel with all the great waitressing that goes with it. The place was super clean, the food was amazing and the gluten-free options were amazing. If we lived in Sarasota this would be the place we go to all the time. I can't talk up the service enough! read more

I was craving a burger (unusual for me). I tried Beckham's for the first time. I ordered a blue cheese stuffed blackened burger and a side salad. Burger was amazing Side salad had tomatoes, 2 types of bell peppers, cucumbers, cheese shreds and very fresh greens. I got the sesame balsamic dressing on the side. Delicious!! Brewed ice tea. I will be back read more

We had our wedding reception at Beckham's last Saturday, Annie and her staff did a amazing job, we were on the patio and with the enclosures and ceiling fans everyone was extremely comfortable, we had a group of 35 people and everyone enjoyed their dinner selections. We even had a guest with a strict diet and Annie was able to accommodate her needs. If you have a gluten free issue Beckham's has a extensive selection of gluten free options that are very good. I am so happy that we chose Beckham's to host our event. Reach into to Annie if you have any event needs and give her a chance to exceed your expectations like she did mine. read more

Hubby and I stopped here for dinner while on vacation, based on food photos on Yelp. Unfortunately, many items pictured are no longer available. I ordered the panko-crusted shrimp appetizer - VERY yummy! 6 huge shrimp. Added a small side salad. Hubby had blackened mahi mahi sandwich. Thick piece of fish but could use more blackening. Mashed potatoes were incredibly bland. read more

If you need a gluten free safe restaurant, this is the one! The owner has Celiac so their protocols are strict. When we arrived, the waiter immediately asked if we needed a gluten free menu or not. The fish & chips are excellent (I've had it several times), and their gluten free menu is extensive. I gave a 4 instead of a 5 star rating as they were short handed (per the waiter) so we didn't get the request condiments or refills on our drink, etc. Overall, I appreciate how attentive they are about food protocols so I can feel safe to eat out. read more

5/28/24 Went for dinner. They kept us waiting for quite a while even though there were plenty of available tables. That gave us a chance to read some of the signs in the waiting area which includes the warning that they have the nerve to charge a 4% surcharge for using a credit card. I used to go there & get frequent flier miles, but I am NOT paying a 4% surcharge. (Their system also won't process any of their gift cards either). We walked for good. read more

GLUTEN FREE MENU along with a full normal one!!! I cannot tell you what it is like to walk into a restaurant and not have to comb through a menu with a cipher to find true GF options. I got the Fish and Chips basket which was absolutely amazing!! The fries were perfect and the fish was crispy on the outside but the fish on the inside was so light and airy and juicy! How they pulled that off is beyond me! The service was great. I asked the waitress why they have this glorious GF menu and she shared that the chef also has Celiacs Disease. I cannot believe I have so many GF options to choose from here in my neighborhood. Thank you so much for providing so many safe options, you guys are the best!! I will most definitely be going back soon and will be sure to take a picture next time :) read more

2nd visit, even better. Added pics of beer cheese soup special , which my husband and daughter said was delicious. Fish and chips, best in Sarasota in my opinion. Cheese steak which was better than the picture I took. Ahi tuna also good. read more
