Excellent seafood and service! They are always busy (luckily you are across the street from fantastic shopping if you have to wait). Service is strong. Hushpuppies, sweet tea, and the fried seafood is the way it's meant to be. Food is fresh and excellent portions. This seafood experience is necessary when visiting the beach. Go hungry.... You will leave happy and full! read more

I believe this is a bit of a historical place for the area. It came highly recommended from some family. The food was good but every bit of the seafood is fried. They are really large positions for sure. The pricing isn't horrendous for beach prices. One last thing, their hush puppies are like little donuts! Please Ty of room for large parties with plenary if parking both beside and across the street from the restaurant. FYI, we had about a 2 hour wait on a Thursday arriving at 6:00pm. read more

It was amazing! The food was amazing! The chicken tenders and fries and hush puppies were good! I definitely recommend! We will be back

Very disappointed... while the service was great, and atmosphere was typical NC Seafood Resturant style... lunch was absolutely terrible! $17 for a scallop sandwich that had four, quarter sized scallops Gray in Color, dry and texture, and when something tastes very fishy, especially a scallop, don't eat them! While I have eaten there many times before over the years, this was a big disappointment. Maybe because it was in the summer season day cut back portions to make a bigger profit, but that doesn't allow for the nasty scallops that were served. read more

Service was okay the guy was trying not to be upset but he was sweating like crazy and definitely overheated. The restaurant was very hot. We could barely eat our food because. The food was mediocre at best. I really enjoyed the homemade cocktail sauce. The pricing was not a little high but not terrible. We walked out a family of 4 for about 100 bucks with tip. read more

Another great visit! I had the combination lunch plate consisting of flounder and popcorn shrimp. What a bargain at $10.95! My daughter got the lunch 8 ounce hamburger steak with onions and gravy for $11.95. Everything was cooked perfectly. Service was very good, as well. I highly recommend Beck's! read more

Loved our lunch here today! Friendly service and fresh delicious food was served! We ordered lunch specials and the shrimp, clam strips, oysters, and deviled crab were all tasty! The batter is light and the seafood tastes fresh. The sweet tea was so sweet and amazing! We will definitely be back again for more calabash style seafood. read more

Food is great, the environment is very clean and welcoming. Service was fast and friendly. They do use separate fryers for people with shellfish allergy so that was a positive also. read more

Good overall, but there are some issues. Beck's does most of its calabash-style seafood well. The fried shrimp were warm, not too heavily-battered, and weren't too greasy. They didn't get mushy by the end of the meal, at least. The deviled crab is passable, and my group was split on whether the flounder was good or not. Good hushpuppies, for sure; they're about as light as fried cornmeal can get. One issue with Beck's is its design. Its low ceiling and crowded space makes the whole place loud. One of my group who is hard of hearing wasn't able to hear much of our conversation, nor were we able to hear him. Even those of us with normal hearing and speech had to talk pretty loudly and occasionally had to ask folks to repeat themselves. Service-wise, we were well taken care of, with regular drink refills and extra baskets of hushpuppies as needed. read more

At and early Sunday lunch recently. Flounder was excellent and so fresh. I will return.

Everything was great! And the seafood wasn't overpriced! Server was fast and polite! The whole restaurant was clean! read more

I have driven by this location many times and at different times of the day and it's always packed with cars. They have a few specials and decided to try. I ordered the shrimp special and liked it. This came with fry's but I subbed a baked potato. The dinner came with slaw which was average and hush puppies that were okay. Overall, I liked the meal and the price was right at 13.00 as I ordered before 4 pm. I ordered this to go and the food was still hot when I got home. read more

Overall this food was tasty and the portions were big. The fries were only $11.99, but there was so many. We shared it between 4 people and didn't finish it. The hush puppies were a little overcooked, but not horrible. Our waitress was very quick and friendly. The food came out quick and was all hot. Overall this place has a great selection of seafood and are able to love people in and out quickly. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for classic Calabash food in a family-owned restaurant. read more

Fresh fish, friendly staff, delicious food. Best hush puppies you'll ever eat! Visit every time I go to the beach!

Another year, another delicious meal at Beck's. I'm not sure there's any other restaurant in calabash that delivers the same quality of food consistently through time. The restaurant is so colorful and fun with murals painted on the wall and it's always busy and full of large groups of people having a lot of fun on vacation. Five stars again, looking forward to our next visit. read more

This is obviously a long established restaurant that now runs on its past history more than finding new After reading good reviews we we disappointed to find that food is just average. Nothing we had was bad but nothing was all that great either. Normally I have more to say but I think you get the point. Knowing there are lots of above average places around, that may signal you should try one of them. read more

We love Beck's! We always get the Fried seafood platter-mine with Calabash style shrimp, deviled crab and clams, hubby gets oysters, deviled crab and clams. Its probably our favorite spot for Fried clams! Service is always friendly & fast, food is fresh and delicious, and it's a great place for families! read more

Beck's has been around forever but that's for a reason--it's amazing. If you like hot, fresh fired seafood then you will be heaven. They have done a great job keeping the place updated, waitstaff is friendly and prices reasonable. But i saved best for last.... their hush puppies. Best in the world. Not even debatable. read more

Beck's Restaurant - Hush puppies and honey butter. - Seafood Near Me - Calabash, North Carolina

I met with my wife and another couple at Beck's and have to say worst choice I could have made. Long story short, I ordered the onion rings and I received a plate full of greasy, smelled like overused burnt grease seaweed that entertwined and very difficult to eat. Second bad experience at this same Restaurant. never again. read more

We gave Beck's another chance and this time the food was delicious! The shrimp and grits was very cheesy and the shrimps perfectly cooked. The stuffed flounder was also well prepared. The waitress was nice and we were seated very quickly. We recommend you trying it! read more

Service was slow but it was a busy night. I did however order a beer and was never able to get a refill. The fried flounder I ordered seemed a little bland. The corn dodgers and honey butter were amazing. Overall decent experience but not worth the hour wait. read more

As always we had yet another great dinner at Becks! Thank you to the staff and owners for keeping the traditions alive!

I don't know why it's got a low rating, but we went yesterday, the service was great, server was polite and it wasn't overpriced and food was great. And it was clean! read more

Nice interior. Tasty free hush puppies with honey butter. They have draft beer but it's very limited. Seafood was delicious but portions were small for the price. Will visit again. read more

Great Seafood, great service, and great atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you love fried seafood, like I do.

A solid 4 rating as I decided to try a Calabash seafood restaurant I had never tried before. It is the epitome of the calabash style seafood located in the heart of Calabash and does not disappoint with hot hush puppies as you arrive , good tea, friendly service and fried seafood oh my! It was clean and the food came out quick, hot and not greasy . We had shrimp, flounder, and clam strips. The baked potato was hot and I wish these type restaurants would serve real Butter instead of watery whipped spread. That potato deserved better. The cocktail and tartare sauces were above average. The prices are reasonable as well. I will return . read more

Their whipped spread with honey (that they serve with hush puppies) first ingredient is soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup and preservatives. I hope they start doing homemade! Their ketchup as well could be switched to "Simply Heinz" to remove the high fructose corn syrup or again- homemade! read more

3.5 stars. When we come to beach we always make a visit to Ella's. But since it has yet to be rebuilt we thought by we would try their sister restaurant, Beck's. The menu seems about identical to Ella's and it looks a lot like it inside. The hush puppies were the same, we love them. One of our group was going to order a fish sandwich and at the last moment chose pulled pork for some reason. He thought it was a sandwich as it was listed under sandwiches, but it came out on a plate, no bun to be found. He said it wasn't the best. I had a combo like I normally got at the other place; flounder, shrimp and a deviled crab. It also comes with fries and slaw. I asked the server what the difference is between the large and small size, she said more shrimp, that's it. So I chose small and I'm glad I did as it had a ton of shrimp already. The food was crammed onto a smaller plate than what it should have been. The flounder was good, except for the skin on. The shrimp were okay, the deviled crab wasn't as good as Ella's. It tasted like stove top stuffing. I didn't eat the fries, they were cold and I was full. The slaw was decent. read more

Usually we go here at lunchtime and get great service and food at a reasonable price. Last week I decided to stop in at dinner - something, as a local, I know better than to do in the summer with all the vacationers in town. Surprisingly enough I still got timely great service and food timely. Note - they offer senior meal prices and will substitute a baked potato for fries for $.50 anytime of the day. read more

Great food, prices and portions. Service was great also. Had the lunch special both times we were there and we really like the hush puppies and crab cakes. read more

The oyster stew is the reason for the season! We stopped in at lunch and really just wanted a light meal. I ordered a salad and the oyster stew - delicious, just like my mom makes. Hubby had a sandwich and fries, said it was good. Since it was Christmas Eve there were no many there mid afternoon so the service was good. read more

Definitely the standout of all the places we dined throughout our Carolina and Georgia road trip this summer. All of the places we went to were understandably suffering from low staffing, so it's unfair to review based on that. Beck's however, might also be dealing with this, but based on our experience, you wouldn't know it. Service was fast, efficient and friendly, but best of all, their food is outstanding. Their fried seafood dishes are fabulously fresh and flavorful. My husband is not a seafood fan so he ordered their BBQ sandwich and absolutely loved it. I sampled it and, wow!! A complementary basked of hush puppies is served, and they're delicious, because, of course they are!! We will absolutely eat here again next time we're in the area. read more

We stopped in on December 30th for lunch and instead of it being "winter" outside, it was very warm, so as much as we would have liked to eat at a nice waterfront restaurant, we opted for Beck's instead. We were quickly greeted and seated and our server was friendly and awesome! We started with their crab bisque, which was really good! More on the liquidy side, not a lot of chunks of crab in it, but the flavors were nice. Could have been a lot better with some Old Bay sprinkled in it. For lunch, I got a flounder sandwich and a small dish of shrimp. Both were lightly breaded to order and tasted great! Their cocktail sauce is homemade and is awesome! There was lots of flavor and spice in the cocktail sauce! Overall, we enjoyed the visit... Restrooms were clean and the place has a nice décor, but it can get loud in there. We'd definitely return! read more

Good food as always even though it was very hot in the restaurant. Our waitress was amazing!

If you ever find yourself in the Calabash NC area you could not do better than the traditional fish camp style and taste of Beck's. A long history of fried shrimp and seafood along with broiled and blackened offerings. Seafood the way it has been served for generations. read more
