This place is clean and beautiful! The crab leg plate is worth every penny ($26?)!!! Sweet, steamed to perfection and seasoned to taste! The best thing is to hear peaceful, Christian music...the atmosphere is fabulous. The wait staff are super sweet too! In a day where negative news always gets posted, today I am posting how much we enjoyed our lunch!! The husbpups were pretty tasty too! read more

To say that we were disappointed would be an understatement. About the only positive was that our server was friendly. Our party of five had the clam chowder, crab bisque, coconut shrimp, shrimp cocktail, steak, shrimp and scallops and the stuffed flounder. The clam chowder tasted like it came from a can and the bisque was just not good. (My husband had never had crab bisque and asked if that's what it was supposed to taste like. I assured him that it was not), the coconut shrimp was all but burned and was served with a weird spicy almost bbq sauce. The shrimp cocktail was not the jumbo shrimp you would expect. The shrimp was seriously underwhelming but the scallops were good. The steak was ordered medium but came out beyond well done and was all but inedible. The stuffing was decent but the flounder was very dry and overcooked. After hoping for a good seafood dinner, we were seriously disappointed. read more

Went to Beck's for some seafood at lunch today 2/22/2023. Both my wife and I got the lunch special. My wife go shrimp and I got shrimp and clams. Both came with fries and slaw. The food came quickly and was hot and tasted very good. Just the right amount for a reasonable price. I can remember coming her with my grandparents over 60 years ago. My granddad always came to Beck's and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Calabash, NC read more

Lunch specials are amazing, good price good food. Service is good, friendly. Always busy but I recommend lunch.

The food was great we liked it so much we ate there twice during our trip. and so was the service.

Super fast service & the bbq pork was excellent!! Wasn't crazy about the stuffing on the stuffed flounder (too dense for my liking) but the flounder was good! read more

Great seafood, great service, and a great location! Hush puppies were piping hot and served so honey butter. Portions were huge. read more

Pretty good! Got a barbecue sandwich, it came out very warm and juicy! Sandwich was delicious, fries were okay and coleslaw was kind of bland tbh. hush puppies are v good. read more

Been going there since Ella's burned down. Found it to very good. Service was excellent and the food was excellent.

Seafood was fantastic! We had a smaller group for Mother's Day, and all of the seafood eaters said it was some of the best they've had! The chicken sandwich was also wonderful and very flavorful! The seafood also wasn't overly breaded like it is at some restaurants. Our server was amazing, also! The ambiance was also great! read more

Reasonable prices, good food, and friendly service. One of our favorite places to eat in Calabash. read more

The best calabash we have found when visiting Myrtle Beach! I ordered the Captains platter and was very satisfied with the selection of food. Especially like the deviled crab, and the scallops. The platter was big enough for me to share with my 11 year old son, and we still had food left over. I think our favorite thing though is the hush puppies they serve with honey butter. They brought out two fresh baskets and we all devoured them. read more

We stopped at Beck's for lunch and was thrilled to find daily specials. I had flounder and clams. The others had shrimp and deviled crab. We all left perfectly satisfied with the smaller plates and the ability to choose exactly what we wanted. We will definitely be back! read more

Delicious and the wait staff is great. We will be back and bringing friends. Hush puppies are delicious. read more

Dinner at Beck's was disappointing! The restaurant has nice decor and atmosphere. The host and waitstaff were very nice. Only downpoint was the FOOD. I was looking forward to the fried oysters as I heard that oysters were their specialty. But I have to say they were not at all good - very greasy and chewy. Not enjoyable at all to eat! However, the cole slaw and hushpuppies were good. My husband and sisters got the scallops and they had the same complaint about the soggy fried shellfist. My sisters live in the area and they are not likely to return. read more

Two of us couples went Friday night, February 23rd. Food and service were both excellent. Both of us women got scallops. The men didn't. Both of us women have been sick since last night. Did anyone else get sick too? read more

Our favorite restaurant for calabash shrimp. Love their seafood platters, hush puppies are delicious with cinnamon butter. Cold slaw is very tasty. Get there early as lines are long and rightfully so! After dinner go across the street to Callahan's and shop off your dinner! read more

Food was good as always. I know that prices have risen nationwide, and the portions did seem a bit smaller. But the food and service left me with no complaints. And the hush puppies were the highlight of the meal. Delish! read more

We ordered some food for take-out and here's the good with the bad from our first visit: Good: The food was packaged well with paper separating the French fries from the fried seafood to avoid sogginess. The dinner salad was a large portion with a generous amount of dressing on the side. Bad: The fried scallops didn't have much flavor but were cooked decent. The side order of clam strips is not as big as you'd think, the strips are also very small. The clam chowder didn't have much flavor as well and was not very creamy. All-in-all, the food was okay. There may be another visit in the future to try more of the menu. read more

Great hush puppies.... But that's where it ended. Rest of the meal was blah. Crab cakes over cooked... calabash style scallops greasy and soggy.... Asked waitress if they always come out wet and in a puddle of grease and she said yes, that's how they are supposed to be. Becks should be embarrassed that food left the window. Too much local competition to not be on point. I would return for the hush puppies though. Quite possibly the best I've ever had. read more

Excellent!! Food was delicious and our service was outstanding. Our food came out quickly and piping hot! Do yourself a favor and try this place out. We had the calamari and the dinner order of oysters to start then for dinner we had 2 orders of crab legs and the broiled scallops dinner. All delicious and would highly recommend. Since we are in the middle of a pandemic, I'm happy to report Beck's is taking it serious. Tables are marked off with a "X" to maintain 6 feet of distance between customers and all staff wore a mask. read more

What a disappointment! It's the oldest but certainly not the best. The oyster chowder was terribly salty. The seafood platter of shrimp and scallops was fried to death. The fries were undercooked. The hush puppies were okay, but who wants to pay $40 for hush puppies! read more

We recently ate there on our trip to Sunset Beach. Restaurant was very nice and welcoming. Our waitress was very helpful and made sure we didn't need anything. Our food was wonderful. We both had stuffed flounder which was delicious. We splurged on dessert. I had the key lime pie which was perfect. My friend had caramel cheesecake which she loved. Please give it a try! read more

We just had dinner at Becks! It was delicious! They have the best hush puppies!!! Steamed shrimp with old Bay! Yum! Their cocktail is kicking ! The Ranch dressing was so delicious and the bacon cheese fries were awesome! Our server was so nice!! 2nd time in a month! read more

Thank goodness the Calabash restaurants are fully open again. We love Beck's. We ate there 52 years ago when my husband and I had our second date. Thru the years we drove from Cherry Grove Beach to eat at Beck's. It is family owned. Recently we drove 2 hours from inland just to eat there. As usual it was great: best hushpuppies, best slaw, tasty shrimp, and plump flounder and not greasy. Lunch is faster than evenings because families go at dinner to sit together. Lots of people are moving to Ocean Isle and Sunset Beach so they will experience a real seafood restaurant. read more

Beck's has been a Calabash favorite over the years but out September 28th visit was likely our last. The seafood palter was entirely to greasy. The fish, shrimp and especially the oysters were all greasy. I mean to the point of seeing the grease.. The waitress nicely offered to bring another order of oysters but they were even worse. When the hostess asked how the food was and I told her it was greasy she said next time get broiled. No thank you I will not be back. read more

Great atmosphere, strong local heritage, amazing food. Highly recommended. If you're in the area or visiting Myrtle Beach, it is well worth the trip. read more

Food was good but boy did this place smell like seafood. People who eat fish may not notice but to me that smell is almost unbearable.

It had a good selection, best hush puppies around. The deviled crab was tasty. My family had the Calabash platters and I had the sautéed shrimp and scallops. They enjoyed the platters and I really liked the shrimp and scallops! We were too full for the pecan pie, which I'm sure was great! read more

Fantastic. Our first time spending a week on Ocean Isle, but came with friends who have been for 20yrs. Becks is their only meal during week off the island. We had a group of 15 and everyone loved what they ordered. Our waitress was fantastic. The fried shrimp is unbelievable. I got the Captain's platter and loved everything...even the fried oysters lol I understand why thats their one off island destination each year. They said they've tried all of the calabash restaurants over the 20yrs, and Becks is their favorite. Now we see why. read more

We stopped in for a quick cold on, was promptly greeted and, as we requested, we were seated at the bar. Before we even got comfy, a large basket of hush puppies was placed in front of us. Very unexpected and very delicious. We each ordered a foofoo drink of choice and appetizers to share. Crab bisque, crab cakes and the dynamite shrimp. Not a disappointing item in the bunch. Bisque was full of crab and very tasty. Cakes were full of crab and not filler, and were light and delish. Having a hard time talking about the dynamite shrimp, I'm not sure how to describe. One word comes to mind - awesome. Whoever thought of chicken wing sauce on shrimp deserves a medal! Yum, yum. Staff was very friendly, but not overly bothersome, checked on us just enough. If you go one place while you are in Ocean isle beach, make it this one. Then hit up the gift shop across the road. read more

Visited last night (Saturday) at 5pm and party of 4 sat immediately and welcomed by seasoned server almost immediately with their classic delicious hush puppies and honey butter. Always a fave! Daughter ordered burger. It was food service quality but what you'd expect from a seafood restaurant. She did finish but said she probably would not order again. Husband and I split the large seafood platter with 2 types of seafood, selected popcorn shrimp and flounder, both fried. Platter came with 2 large pieces of flounder and so many shrimp we brought half home. Traditional, calabash style seafood, which is what we expected and came here for. Staff was excellent, some veteran servers there but many very young, super friendly and looked to be doing a great job considering how so many would rather take govt handouts. Especially loved the busboy shirts..."Be patient, there's like 3 of us!!!!" So true, and we are thankful you are here and will be back soon!! read more

Great calabash seafood. Captain's platter has a lot of food. It could be shared. Great senior dishes with good prices. When traveling from Texas we always get our "fix" for fried shrimp at Beck's! The best! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Had an excellent soft shell crab sandwich and that is from someone who grew up on the Chesapeake bay!!

This is a Calabash staple. IYKYK. I will say, however, that their portion sizes have taken a dip over the years. The lunch portion size used to be awesome. Now, it seems to be about half of the old size. Still the same yummy (free) hush puppies and still the same yummy calabash shrimp, though, so we still visit each trip. read more
