  • Sometimes you have to listen to an album 3 times before you decide if you like it, love it or loathe it.... For this reason, i'm really trying to resist the temptation to review a spot after just one visit. This weekend i hit Beckett's for the third time. Everyone is raving about Beckett's and with fair reason, it's pretty good. But let's drill down a bit further and see if it's really all it's cracked up to be. Apps: * Brussels Sprouts are good, but i think it's just a trendy item to toss onto your menu these days. * The enchiladas are alright, but they don't "wow" anyone. let's face it... this just isn't the place for enchiladas in the PHX. * What is wrong with this: "beckett's original grilled cheese with pancetta (aka bacon)" [Hint: "aka"] Pancetta is not Bacon. Pancetta, like bacon, is also made from pork belly, But pancetta is rolled and cured, bacon is smoked. The flavor is decidedly different. Mains: * The short ribs are great... but then again, i never met a short rib that i didnt like. I'm a sucker for short ribs on a menu. * Chicken & Dumplings... major let down. (They were out of short ribs, so i asked the server for a reco.) Dumplings were pretty uneventful. Chicken was tender, but dude... its chicken. * Tasted the Osso Buco and it was pretty tasty. Cocktails and Beer: Drinks are well poured and fairly inventive. Not too shabby. Beer list is so so... some 4peaks and a Stella. nothing really exciting. Dessert: i *love* the hot/cold combo, so i'll practically make love to anything "a la mode" ....naturally the poached pear & blueberry cobbler with ice cream was on my list. It was about 6000 degrees and you couldnt really taste it. Also, the icecream was tiny and you need more for the cobbler. However, the chocolate covered bacon (note: not pancetta, so they clearly know the difference, they just think you are dumb when you read the apps menu.) and PB s'mores were to die for! Seriously... this desert is creative, delicious and hands down the best $5 you'll spend all night. Bottom line is... Beckett's is pretty good grub, nice ambiance (for a strip mall) and a pretty good menu. The food isnt amaaaaaaaazing, but it's worth checking out. If you do anything, come for the s'mores. 3.6 stars.... okay fiiiiiiiine... 4.
