| - Yelp sent me a note that I have eaten at Beckett's a few times and had neglected to write a review. I am surprised, since I have been to Beckett's multiple times, and I have pretty much wanted to Yelp about this place literally as I was eating the chocolate-covered bacon S'mores for the first time... which was when the restaurant opened over a year ago.
......So it's pretty obvious what my favorite (espcially for uniqueness and flavor) food item is at Beckett's. But I have to say that the ribs are ridiculous as well. I try to order other things, but I always go back to the ribs. However, I have tried the chicken and dumplings and the pan-seared chicken too, and I have loved both. There are only two items I haven't loved on the menu and that is the mac-n-cheese-- I think the cheese is a little runny-- and the cheddar biscuits. They are very bland to me.
Other good things about Beckett's:
1. The cocktails.
2. The ambiance (it really is warm and inviting). Personally, I love the decor a lot.
3. The service. The wait staff is knowledgeable and extremely personable. They are always happy to give a recommendation, and they never seem rushed to get to another table, even when it's busy.
4. The location and parking. Relatively centrally located, not off a major freeway, ample parking.
**Speaking of service, I want to mention a situation that happened between me and Beckett's Table this summer. I had reservations for a Friday night dinner, and I received a call from Beckett's on that Friday that their electricity had gone out, so they had to close down for the day. (In fact, the electricity had gone out for all the businesses in a 2-block radius that day.) The manager then offered to squeeze us in either the following day (a busy Saturday) or any time later in the week... at 50% off our total bill! Not only did this display exemplary customer service, but I was even more impressed that Beckett's provided this service when the electricity problem was definitely not through any fault of their own.
If I could assign the perfect rating to Beckett's, it would be 4.5 stars, but Yelp doesn't have that option. I usually only reserve 5 stars for "true" perfection... which I have given to only 4 restaurants in Arizona throughout my Yelp career. ;) However, the customer service (which is really a huge part about eating out in the first place) kicked Beckett's up to a 5-star rating.
Just go there. Just do it. Take friends from out of town. Order an awesome old-timey cocktail. Sit outside by the unique and cool fireplace. Eat the S'mores until your stomach is going to explode... and then go home happy. :)
