this pains me to write this review--I have been to Beckett's Table several times and have always enjoyed the food, the ambiance and the service, but tonight was different. I hope that tonite was an anomaly and the next time I go --things will be better. Met three friends for dinner, two of us ordered from the restaurant week menu and two didn't. Things started out great-- service started out attentive and stayed that way but for the fact that various servers kept bringing plates to our table that weren't ours--this didn't happen once but three times throughout the meal so things at our table were somewhat chaotic throughout the evening. now to the food--for my appetizer, I ordered the chicken meatballs--which I quite liked except for the fact that the sauce was very warm (temperature wise) which was good, but the meatballs were cold in the middle which detracted from the flavor of the dish. So when one of the servers came over--I told him that I enjoyed the dish but that meatballs were cold and they might want to do something about that for when the serve them the rest of the evening (we were there early) okay so I chalked that up to timing in the kitchen--no big deal. for my main dish--i ordered the bass which came on some greens--this dish was not advertised as a salad--so I expected the fish to come out warm which it didn't--it was almost cold--there are only certain fish that taste good cold or not warm and bass in my opinion was not one of them. so--i let the server know and he picked up my plate and took back to the kitchen--(at Beckett's Table the kitchen is open)--so I as I watch my fish being taken back and the waiter and Chef Beckett discuss it, the chef looked over at me and sneered. REALLY??? I am the customer--i didn't ask for a substitution or a change in the flavor--I simply wanted the fish not to be cold--as the fish came back to me, I told the server my feelings were hurt that I should not be sneered at for simply asking for the fish be warmer than it was--he made some comments about the fact that it was served on greens--well I have to tell you I had a salmon salad at Kona Grill earlier in the day--and the salmon was warm even though it was on greens. I like Becktett's Table and have always felt it was very welcoming--but tonite had enough mishaps--that I will think about going back there. I want to go places where I appreciate the quality of the food and the chef/owner respects that the customers are his livelihood and treat them with some level of respect. read more

Absolutely wonderful, even as a vegan!! This "meat " establishment knows how to do vegetables and they have e An excellent wine menu! Service was impeccable and I can't wait to go back. read more

We went to Beckett's for my dad's birthday celebration, and it did not disappoint! I must note the service at this place: I could not have asked for better. The server, Andrea, was SO knowledgable, obviously a localvore, and unobtrusively personable. We swapped foodie faves, and she gave us great tips. That being said - our party was not the "server's dream" because we did not order drinks or apps, and shared dessert, but she treated us with priority anyway. The bus staff was so good - ours took personal pride in what he did, and seemed to sweep by as a shadow to clear empty plates and fill glasses. When we engaged him, he was friendly and professional. Top notch service for real. I'll start with the (minor!) things that weren't super awesome: When I called in the reservation, I was told the patio was "prime real estate", but I have to disagree. It's right on Indian School, so there isn't much to work with as far as ambiance is concerned. Although, the outdoor fireplace is pretty sweet. The front of the patio is practically in the parking lot, so it didn't appeal to me. We opted for an inside table, which was awesome. The open kitchen is really cool, the decor is tasteful and quirky. The only other things that didn't blow me away were the cheddar bacon biscuits (we didn't know they were going to bring table bread before the meal - asiago and whole wheat rolls that are plenty without ordering biscuits with dinner) and the portion size on the side of grits. The cheddar bacon biscuits were so-so, and lacked the abundance of bacon we expected. The closest comparison we have is the cheddar bay biscuits at (wipe that judgment off your face)...Red Lobster. Just skip the buscuits, kay? As for the grits... At a place like this, everyone is tasting everyone else's food, so the small portion of grits was a bummer. SPEAKING OF GRITS, woah. So good, so good. Order them. Do it. They andouille and shrimp entree (spicy!) comes with the side of grits, and both were delicious. Our party also ordered the Osso Buco and the Pork Chop. I just cannot say enough about the 'Buco. It was absolutely perfect. Like, mind blowingly delicious.The side of spaetzle was awesome with the green apples and red onion, and the flavor combo was excellent. The chop came with baked beans that were truly excellent, kind of smoky, and well-paired with the grilled chop. Don't be fooled by the "side" of cole slaw - it's more of a 3-bite garnish, but good none the less. They brought my dad the coconut cake with brown butter ice cream for his birthday dessert. I don't do coconut, but the homemade ice cream was great! We also ordered the creamsicle creme brulee, and it was...fine. The crust didn't realy crack, and was a little chewy, but the flavor of the brulee was good. Order coffee with this, if you do. WHEN (not "if") we go back...I'm stoked to try the brussells, the bacon s'more dessert, and the chicken and dumplin' entree. Yes please. read more

First, I want to start by saying this is more like a 3.5 experience, but since I look on yelp more for food recommendations, I'm going with a 3 for the food review, but service and ambiance were perfectly fine here. I so excited to come back to this place after 4 years or so, and was completely disappointed. The food was just okay, and for the cost not really worth what you pay. The biscuits were cold and dry, the chicken was bland and dry, and the short ribs were not very tender. I would say the only good dish at the table were the scallops. Our server was very nice though, so that's definitely a positive. I think all 10 of us dining were very underwhelmed and disappointed with the food. read more

Nice meal. Nice environment. Good food. Not outstanding. Had the grilled cheese sandwhiches, which were tasty. Had the chile stew. It was a bit sweeter than I expected, but still flavorful and tasy. My wife had the red pepper cannelloni entree, which she loved, but felt like she could have had 150%. Said it was one of the most interesting combos of flavors she's had in a long time. She finished every bit. If you are a vegetarian, it's got to be a must have. All the above was maybe 3 or 3.5 out of 5 stars. At least not overpriced. I saw someone munching on a burger, and will say it looked nice and big and juicy. But the 5 out of 5 star, return every time portion of the meal came from the following must have items: Honey Lemonade. Fresh lemons, sweetened with honey. Just an amazing flavor... you could absolutely taste the clover honey. One of the most interesting drinks I've had in months. Second, the fig pie. The ice cream was like a lemon custard, delicious, on top of one of the best slices of pie I've ever had. I would have paid $12 for it, and it was a bargain at $6. I might just come back for the lemonade and pie! Do NOT miss it if you go. I will say that if you are familiar with St. Francis to the Northwest of them a few miles, this restaurant feels like a "poor man's" St. Francis. read more

I really had high hopes going into our dinner at Beckett's Table. In the end, though, I left quite underwhelmed. The food, pretty much all of it, is good enough but nothing I will remember tomorrow. My wife had the steamed white bass, the clear winner at the table. The short ribs, pork stew and vegetable plate were all passable, nothing more. The mussels were downright bad and were returned because they both smelled and tasted like they should have been thrown out a few days prior. We shared three appetizers among the 8 of us and none stood out. So much so I honestly can't remember what one of them was an hour later. Pass on the desserts -- both the coconut cake and the death by chocolate cake were dry and lacked any real flavor. Perhaps the oddest part of the meal was the service. Our server must have been a politician in a past life -- no real answers to any questions asked. If you ask which entree is better, A or B, you get a dissertation about how each is prepared and the fact that salmon has good Omega-3's. Not really what we were looking for. When we returned the mussels, we were told they were going to be "retired" from the menu for the evening, yet we saw no less than 4 orders go out afterward. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was great. It seemed friendly and casual and is appropriate for families. The patio is nice and large with a great fireplace. I also liked the open kitchen. Unfortunately those attributes do not make up for so-so food and odd service, so we'll likely only return if we get a craving for white bass. read more

My husband and I were in Phoenix for a trade show recently and I Yelped restaurants in the area looking for Gluten-Free dishes. Having lived in Phoenix for a nanosecond many years ago, I was not expecting a whole lot.... Much like Vegas, Phoenix has long had a fondness for bad decor Italian restaurants with unimaginative food and chain restaurants. However, the reviews for Beckett's Table were great so I figured it was worth a try. WOW... I was beyond pleasantly surprised. I will go as far as to say it was one of the best meals I have ever had, hands down. That's saying a lot! As I told the waiter, Beckett's Table would give any restaurant of its kind in NYC a run for its money. I had the vegetable chopped salad which tasted like the tomatoes and other vegetables were just picked, the roasted PEI mussels (yummy!) and last but not least... the chocolate-dipped bacon s'mores. My taste buds were in heaven. Perfection. My husband's meal was also fantastic. Everything tasted so fresh and well-made. You really don't get better than this. The night we went was a Wednesday and it was packed. I would imagine that is the case most nights... however, don't let that deter you from making a reservation. Truly a gem... Perfection in every way. Next time I'm in town, it will be the first and last place we go! Hey guys... if you ever want to open another restaurant, do it in Westport, CT!! read more

We decided to try Beckett's Table because the reviews are generally good and we were going to be on the east side of town. Clearly, after reading about the short ribs we had to try that. We also ordered the salmon and, as an appetizer, the mac and cheese. Service was fair - Both my husband and I had difficulty understanding the server because he spoke quietly and we couldn't hear him over the background music. (The music was not too loud.) He didn't tell us the daily special, but I heard what it was from the waiter for the table next door. We each had a glass of wine. I had something that I'd had in the past so I was satisfied with it, but my husband was less satisfied with his selection -- certainly not the fault of the restaurant. The mac and cheese - a rather large portion for an appetizer. I enjoyed it very much but my husband was put off by the mustard seed in the sauce. The dish is topped off with pancetta, and our server asked us if we wanted that or not. I noticed that other reviewers have been unhappy that they were not asked. I wondered if that changed the policy of always including it because I noticed the next door table server also asked his table if the pancetta was okay. If you are a light eater, you could certainly order the mac and cheese as a meal, as it was a substantial portion. The meal -- Short ribs - yes, we have to agree they are extremely tasty! I just had a taste off of my husband's plate but it was delicious--very tender and flavorful. The salmon - was good but nothing to knock your socks off. I always tell myself, "don't order something that you make at home", because it's hard to surpass what you make yourself and love. So I'm going to qualify this with it was prepared exactly as I asked. The accompaniment was unusual - quinoa and spinach with edamame, served cold, which was a little odd under the hot salmon. Not bad, just unexpected. We were on our way to an event so we by-passed dessert. Overall, I would definitely recommend Beckett's Table, and will go there again when I have the opportunity and the occasion to be in the area. read more

I am new to Phoenix, and trying to check out restaurants each week. Let me just say that Beckett's Table rocks! Although the location is in a strip mall, the atmosphere is cool but casual, and we were seated next to (but not outside on) a great patio area. They have a nice wine selection, and some great mixed drinks, including a Pimm's Cup. I had a nice glass of Pinot Noir that was recommended by the bartender. The only disappointment was the appetizer we all shared. It was a brussels sprouts dish, and it could have used a bit more flavor/seasoning. Kind of bland, something I could have just rustled up at home. Oh well. The main dishes, however, did not disappoint. I had the osso buco confit with butternut spaetzle...delicious! My co-horts had the chicken and dumplings (homemade dumplings...fab) and the short ribs (these were good, but not as great as I would have hoped...needed "something" else). The staff was great and attentive, and I will definitely go back! read more

I reserve 5 stars for restaurants that have fabulous food, great service, and also provide something a little unique. At Becketts, the food was fantastic, the service was perfect, but I'm giving it 4 stars because I don't think there is anything really unique about the experience. I will say, the restaurant is charming, with walls that open, a nice patio and an open kitchen. Our server was great, and had a casual, friendly approach that made it feel like we had known him for years. This restaurant has a warm, comfortable vibe that makes it feels like you are eating at your parents home, if your mom was a really amazing cook. Details: Three people at our table of six ordered the chicken, at the servers recommendation. I normally wouldn't order chicken at a restaurant, but the server sold it, and it did not disappoint! We also had the grilled cheese with tomato soup (yum) and mushroom enchiladas. Everyone enjoyed everything we ordered, and we did not save room for dessert. The only complaint from our table was the limited beer selection. The wine selection was not huge, but satisfactory. read more

Beckett's Table is one of my most favorite places. I recommend it to anyone looking for simply great food! The service is right on point and the food is so comforting, delicious and perfectly done. I adore the setup of the restaurant. They have a great patio with heaters and misters, and the atmosphere throughout is so inviting and cozy. Foodwise, the beet appetizer are hands-down the BEST beets I have ever had, and you also can't go wrong with the brussel sprouts. Whatever fish is on the menu is always great and I'm also a big fan of their short ribs and burger. They have many gluten-free options on the menu for those gluten-conscious diners. Make sure to try the fig and pecan pie, too! read more

This place NEVER disappoints! The consistency of quality is unparalleled. You HAVE to get the deviled egg appetizer, it's chef's special and a delicious surprise every time. I am a customer for life. My go to is the cast iron chicken. read more

Extremely impressed with Beckett's Table. Great vibe, O-SPOT ON service, from everyone who works there. Love the Kettle One $7 Martina's:) I am a fan - Great food, nicely priced, amazing service and we enjoyed all the male eye candy -- thanks :) read more

The food was great, but the service was horrible. 1) When we made the reservation they asked if it was a special occasion, which it was: my birthday. At the end of the night the manager asked if we enjoyed our complimentary dessert, but it wasn't complimentary! We paid for it! At the end of our meal our server said "oh, is it like a special occasion? I saw that on the reservation but you all are so chill I didn't believe it..." 2) Our server flirted with the patron at the next table the entire night. No joke. We had to actually interrupt their conversation to get our check. It was awkward. For us. read more

From the warm voice on the other end of the phone when I made reservations, to the great servers, wonderful dinner and desert, this place is excellent. We've been here twice. Both times with our kids. The place has a great menu with something for everyone. How they pull of this great a place with no stuffiness is how a restaurant should be run. Excellent place. Thank you Chef Beckett read more

We wanted to love this place - we really did; and first impressions were great as we arrived before they opened. The bartender came out to greet us, offering us a table on the patio while they prepared the final touches for their 5pm opening. He even brought us water and allowed us to order a bottle of wine while we waited the 20 minutes for the restaurant to open its doors. Once seated at our table inside the restaurant it began to fill rapidly which we took as a very good sign. We also appreciated the good service by our waiter & bartender who were both prompt and attentive. With all the wonderful accolades this place receives, we first worried that perhaps we'd left our test buds at home - but then decided that wasn't the case, because the chicken meatballs & smoky tomato sauce we started with as an appetizer had plenty of flavor, just not to our liking. Please don't misunderstand, the entrees we had (Osso Bucco and Short Ribs) were beyond tender, but what both dishes did lack were flavor. We found both to be just blah ... no other way to describe them. Then the award winning fig and pecan pie arrived, and while we had no problem finishing it, we just couldn't give it the award winning kudos the name and server enticed us with. However, we did like the energy of the place & always prefer to support locally owned restaurants with owners who put their hearts and souls into their work. It was obvious this was the case here, as all were present and working hard. We just wish we would have been equally impressed with the taste of the food! read more

Beckett's has fast become the "it" restaurant in the Arcadia scene or maybe it's the lack thereof of good restaurants in Arcadia like Beckett's that makes this place overflowing with diners. Thanks to Yelp, I came across this "hot on Yelp" restaurant and went here with a couple of friends, and we were surprised with how busy this place was that we found ourselves waiting for a table for an hour. My first visit I attempted to order the shortrib and was dismayed they ran out. So, I ended with the cast iron petite chicken. Which was good. My first visit was Nov. of 2010. let's flash forward to 1/14/2011. I went again with my friend Sara to see if Beckett's could still win us over a second time, Parlor has the magic everytime I eat there as well as Geisha's HH. We both agreed that we would get the mussels as an appetizer. And this time I called (on a thursday night) to see if I could make a reservation for friday night, and learned that the prime reservation slots were taken, so, this makes me assume that I must make a reservation on a Tuesday or Wed. at least, sheesh! ok, back to the food... the mussels were really soft, and the sauce/gravy was divine meaning it wasn't thick and creamy no, it had a good texture and you could really taste the fennel, and the wine, it's GOOD. This time I was able to order the fork tender short ribs and let me just say this, it's more than fork tender, it's YUM! forget the sides just give me two short ribs! I now understand why they run out....mmm yum! Sara got the beef bourguignon shepherd's pie which was good but not great unlike the short ribs. Anywho another good experience at Beckett's and will come back again. Oh as for desserts, as a dessert fiend, pass on it and look elsewhere, they're quite meh, and tammie coe's is up the street. so hurrah for beckett's! read more

Oh my gosh where do I begin? BF and I got reservations for restaurant week here last night but didn't even do the restaurant week menu because they just serve too many delicious things that we did not want to miss. The ambiance is great, I loved it when they opened the restaurant up to allow us to enjoy the amazing weather we've been getting lately and our waitress was excellent and very attentive. Started off with the Grilled cheese and soup appetizer. I wish that every single time in the past I was craving comfort food, I had been able to order this dish. The grilled cheese is deliciously gooey and the soup was the perfect consistency for dipping. I ordered the Shrimp and Sausage entree and Dave got the Short ribs. Short ribs looked like kind of a small serving but I think it was because of the size of the plate. We also felt there was not enough potato with the short rib. Regardless of size, he wanted to lick the plate clean but I wouldn't let him for fear of embarrassment. My shrimp and sausage dish was perfection. The grits were creamy and buttery and the amount of shrimp served was just right. Dessert time, bacon covered in chocolate? for reals? Yes! their twist on smores was different than anything I've ever eaten and I loved every bite. Can't wait to visit again and try the sausage pasta that our server recommended! read more

Been here a handful of times and have always loved everything I've ordered. My favorite dish is the Short Ribs which have always been fantastic, but the last time I ordered they were very fatty and I was a little disappointed. Other items I've ordered.. Grilled Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup - OUTSTANDING, one of my favorite things on the menu and one of the best grilled cheese/soup combos out there. Macaroni & Cheese - flavor was good, but could've used a bit more cheese Pork Osso Buco Confit - fall of the bone pork with so much flavor They always have specials and it is a great place to spend for holidays (we like going for Mother's Day/Father's Day). They also have 1/2 priced Arizona wines on Sundays, which is a huge perk! I love the atmosphere and decor. The sliding glass doors leading out to the patio are a great addition and the patio is always a great place to sit if not too warm out. Will definitely come back as there are so many more things on the menu that I would like to try. read more

Another great meal at Beckett's Table! We originally went to another restaurant but was given a 2 hour wait so we decided to look on Yelp and see what was in the neighborhood and Beckett's Table it was! We waited for about 5 minutes before we were seated. The wine list is small but mighty! They have some pretty good selections and a lot of U.S. made wine which is good in my book! We ordered 2 appetizers, the brussel sprouts and the chicken meatballs! Both of the dishes were really good and the portions were just right. Then we ordered our main courses... there were 4 of us and we ordered the Pork Chop, Short Ribs, and the beef bourguignon shepard's pie. All of it was really good! There is a sort of "richness" in all of their dishes and a hat should be tipped to the chef because not many places create interesting and unique flavors. The one thing that was off was our server. She seemed really disconnected which really annoyed me considering we were there for the complete experience. It seemed like she was in a rush to get us in and out. Before we even got our appetizers she asked if we were ready to order our main course and before we were done with our main courses she was already pushing dessert. We also had to ask another waiter to get us silverware because she never replaced it after our appetizers. I will come back here and really make it a 1st choice in the future...lets hope we get a better waiter/waitress! read more

Would probably give a 3.5, but since that isn't possible, we are giving a 3. The service was very good. We have no complaints about that. The food was decent. I guess we had high hopes going in, and we were a bit let down. Would probably return again to see if something else on the menu is better. read more

We've been hearing about Beckett's for a while now and finally made it out to give it a try. So glad we did, it was really great. The restaurant is really beautiful inside. I love open spaces and open kitchens, and the bar, wood beams, and small touches like the sliding bathroom doors really make me happy. They even have a large community table that seats 16 which I really think fosters a great atmosphere of communal dining. There is nothing better than walking into a restaurant for the first time and just knowing you're going to love the food because the ambiance is so good. That is how you feel when you walk in here. We started with a bottle of wine and the sausage meatballs. OMG they were amazing. Probably one of my favorite appetizers anywhere. I am literally thinking of just ordering 3 for dinner next time I'm there. My wife and I shared the chicken and dumplings and a side of mac and cheese for dinner. Great flavor, dumplings were perfect, I would have liked to see a little more chicken in the entree though. Mac and cheese was yummy, could have been a little warmer imo. For dessert, we shared the smores which everyone raves about. We both agreed, the whipped peanut butter was to die for, the graham crackers were good, the marshmallows were amazing....but we just didn't like the chocolate covered bacon. I LOVE chocolate. And I LOVE bacon. In and on everything. But the combination just didn't do it for us. Once the chocolate taste wore off the bacon just didn't taste good. Oh well, we'll have to have the Death By Chocolate next time :) read more

Great neighborhood spot! Love the deign and at atmospher. Service was amazing and the food was great. We had the chicken meatballs ans Zucchini pancake for aps - both great! Child's quasadilla wasn't as popular but our server noticed, apologized and asked to replace it, they took it off our bill. Our dishes were D-lish! The cast iron chicken, searen salmon and shepherd's pie. The clams weren't as good but still enjoyable. We really enjoyed it and we look forward to going again soon ! read more

I did not leave tonight in love with Beckett's table. My friend and I were in the mood for coffee and dessert and used the mighty Yelp to look at the menu beforehand and at the sight of "brown butter cake" my friend was sold. Take a seat on the (loud) patio and quite a few minutes go by. Our server comes to take drinks -- waters for now and we look over the menu. He leaves for another 10 minutes; it must've been noticed by the manager (or perhaps the owner?) bc she came over to ask if we'd gotten drinks. Maybe I used the wrong word bc I asked if she had anything other than "run-of-the-mill" coffee (read: coffee plain vs latte). She seemed taken aback and goes, "oh, of course it's great; it's a Nicaraguan blend sourced here in Cave Creek". Calm down, I just wanted to know if it would be coffee with creamer or a latte. We ended sharing a few apps before dessert: Mac - best part of the meal. I could have done without the prosciutto but not a big deal. Grilled cheese - good, but not overwhelmingly amazing. Not a huge fan of the soup due to the sweetness. Sprouts - I wish they didn't have the bacon in it but they were cooked well. Then we come to dessert. We asked for the brown butter cake and the waiter looks at us like we have four heads. "I have worked here for 3 years and nothing like that. We had ice cream once before". I explained that it was part of their yelp menu and showed him -- he did not seem too interested and did not bother to ask someone else if it had been one of their seasonal menu items. We end up getting the Cracker Jack dessert that is supposed to be caramel-y. Neither of us could really taste the caramel. If not for the Cracker Jacks or chocolate drizzle this would not have much flavor. The waiter came back and asked us how it was -- we told him we were on the fence. He said we could send it back and get something else so we took him up on that. Ordered the lemon tart. Way too tart and that confectioner sugar gives this a box-y/plastic aftertaste. Overall? I give it a "meh". read more

Another restaurant we tried on Saturday nite and again the crowds drove us away, but we were able to return for an early dinner Sunday nite(5p). Not too crowded when we were seated and we were served very quickly and even out of there before 6p. Love the creative turn for the strip mall space and the service was stellar. Also on Sunday nights, they feature local Arizona wine for 1/2 off the bottle price. We tried a bottle our server, Rebecca, recommended. The Kief-Joshua Red blend was terrific with both our entrees. DH had the green chile stew and I had the short ribs. My ribs, green beens, mashed potatoes and sauce were all perfectly done! the short ribs were easily cut with my fork and my green beans were cooked with perfect balance without being insipidly limp. I hate that. The only sad part: no room for dessert. Boo Hoo! read more

We came in to support DevourPhoenix and Waste Not, and ended up loving all 5 dishes and my drink. The osso bucco is to die for, the zucchinni cakes were amazing, the biscuits are great, and the dessert--the bacon smores--are surprisingly awesome. my AZ Farmland drink was excellent and a decent size. our waiter was funny, always checking in, and he made great recommendations that he clearly knew about. we couldn't decide on two desserts, because we also wanted to try the cream cheese citrus ice cream, and instead got two completely different desserts. our waiter brought by a scoop of the ice cream at the very end which was a very kind surprise. read more

I would rather eat a popsicle standing outside of a cvs. Service blew, waited 40 mins to be greeted. Ordered the veggie plate. Received watermelon? The food was even less desirable than the service. read more

This is hands down my husband's favorite restaurant and in my top five. We've been here five times and each time is amazing. We have never had a bad dish. My favorite is the pork osso buco. I am not a fan of pork or really any meat on the bone, but this dish is AMAZING. Ever since I discovered it I haven't been able to order anything else because I love it so much. Between my husband and I, we've had the short ribs, cast iron chicken, chicken and dumplings and pork chop. Our favorites are the pork osso buco and the cast iron chicken, but we haven't had a bad dish yet. The atmosphere is very low key classy. Its the kind of place where you can dress up or be casual and not feel out of place. It's fancy food, but it fills you up and when you get the dish you actually know how to eat it. For the quality of the food, it is actually a really decent price too. The service is always great as well. Like I said this is our favorite restaurant, so much so that this is where we went the night that we got engaged. We didn't want to make a big deal about it, but the waiter made everything feel special and intimate, without making a spectacle out of it. I wish I would remember his name but was obviously distracted. Now it is our special restaurant that we go to for all of our special occasions. Its relaxing, intimate, cozy and a little fancy all at this same time. read more

First time in and will return often with friends. Pamela our server rocked the menu including amazing specials. I would come back just because of her, she's that amazing. Check the pics of pork shank, trout, and a terrific summer salad. Wine list...yes! read more

See all

Run, don't walk to eat here. So, so tasty. Comfort food with an upscale twist. Grits and sausage is a must. As is the chicken and dumplings. Chocolate covered bacon for dessert! read more

If theres one thing I can say about Becketts table it would have to be that there service is the best hands down , The food is good some of my favorite things there are the spatzel and the bacon smore dessert is awsome !!!!! The atmospher is energetic and makes a great place for all occasions...... read more

Beckett's table is sort of new American bistro to the tune of Sweet Home Alabama as there is a definite Southern rural sort of thematic element underlying a top class eatery. You see it in the open wood decor and internal brick facade and the homages to the humble pig throughout the establishment, from the little pig statues at various places and the pig themed head wrap I saw one of the chef's wearing. However, don't be fooled by the laid-back Southern charm, this place is one well-run eating venue. The wait staff is extremely polite and respectful and provides good service without overly hovering or checking if you like what you are eating five seconds. They don't have to, they know they food is good! I took my parents out to brunch here on Mother's day, which they opened early for as they are usually only an evening eating establishment. Though the don't provide overly large portions what they do serve is wonderful. My mother had the chicken fried steak, which seems like it is done with panko breading and was nicely crisp and the sausage gravy was delicious. It is not as good as the chicken fried steak at Texaz grill on 16th street but that place specializes in the dish. As for my father, he had a brisket hash comprised of cube brisket mixed with sauteed peppers and onions. As for myself, I had the oven roasted shrimp and sausage that comes in a spicy tomato sauce, along with creamy grits and I had the additional two fried eggs on top. I enjoyed it though it was a small dish of the grits and would have loved more but that is more of the bistro influence, smaller amounts but what is provided, top quality. We also had some drinks and I ordered the Pimm's cup, which was refreshing and heavy on the muddled cucumber, which I liked but might not appeal to everyone. As with the food, I would have liked to have seen a drink of a somewhat larger size (I guess it is the thematic element to my review - more, more!). The only part where I wasn't so impressed with the quality was the dessert portion of the meal. We had the creme brulee, which was coffee flavored and well, don't mess with a classic folks, leave it plain, no coffee addition, but it was of a good size and came in this cool little cast iron pot (that down-home Southern influence). We also had the pecan and fig pie which was a little less like a pecan pie and a bit more cake-like. When you say pecan pie I tend to think it should be a bit more gooey and syrupy and as for the coffee, it was okay but I encourage the establishment to upgrade a bit. Maybe go to providing a french press at the table versus pre-brewed coffee. Chelsea' kitchen would be a good place to benchmark against relative to this recommendation. All in all I liked it and more of a 4.5 than a 4 in my book but I'll go back again and see if my review rises but overall an exceptional dining establishment, only enhanced by the high quality wait service provided by extremely polite employees at Beckett's Table. read more

Beckett's Table - Chicken fried steak! - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Did curbside pickup. Food was excellent. Well packaged. Staff incredibly friendly from phone call to pickup. Definitely can tell it's locally run. Got dessert and cocktails to complete the meal. Miss not being able to eat there in person, but had a great Beckett's experience at home. Short ribs are delicious as well as the warm chocolate cake. read more

Great drinks, friendly staff. Menu is very pork oriented (a major plus). Everyone at my table was very pleased with their main courses, but the bacon and cheese biscuits were dry. Overall, great place and I will return. read more

It's just soooo good. Wow, my daughter and I loved everything about this restaurant. The service is super friendly and the food denotes comfort and deliciousness. Great cocktail program and fantastic selection of Arizona wine too. It feels like love. We will be back often! read more

Really sharp decor. Decent service but nothing special. Busy, even late night on a weekday so not too inviting or personalized. Can't say that I was too impressed with their mixed drinks. Selected the grilled cheese and tomato soup as a starter. Divine. Vegtable Chop Salad with pumpkin brittle was so tasty. read more

Love Beckett's Table! It's California Food / Ambience with a neighborhood upstanding flair. The menu is unique; The roasted red pepper soup is amazing with the grilled cheese sammy dipped! In the spring, he did grilled shrimp over grits, which created a craving, but it was a special. Mussels were just okay, but apparently they have a crowd following (not for me). Down to earth, Beckett's table only enhances our neighborhood! So happy to have you here! read more

Party in my tummy... Beckett's table is one of my favorite places in Phoenix along with Olive & Ivy and Chelsea's Kitchen. My boyfriend and I went at 5:30pm, which of course the restaurant was completely empty. We didn't have reservations, and they looked around the restaurant for empty tables....pretty sure they were all empty. But by the end of our meal, the restaurant was nearly full. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, which I love. She made sure our sangria glasses and waters were always full. The sangria was delicious...and after my ballsy attempt at finishing the half carafe, my asian cheeks were the same color as the drink. For appetizer, we shared the sausage and grits. We have never had grits before, but if it always tastes like this I'm sold! We scrapped the bowl clean. For dinner, my bf had the short ribs and I had the Osso Bucco. The short ribs are fork tender...absolutely melt-in-your mouth goodness and surprisingly not extremely rich. He was able to finish the full meal it was that delicious. The Osso Bucco was tender and so flavorful, I preferred mine over his but that's still up in debate. For dessert, my eyes were on the pecan pie. It was sweet, as pecan pies usually are. But the crust was flaky and complimented the pecan sugar layer perfectly. We left the restaurant with a full belly and smiles on our face (don't forget my red cheeks too). Definitely a go to place for a special occasion or romantic dinner. read more

Everything about this restaurant is perfect. The waitress serving us described Beckett's table food as being "upscale comfort food" which I think captures the essence of this place. Extensive wine list, cool decor, interesting and original menu, reasonable prices for fresh, quality food. Let's stop pretending I care about my health. This is what I ordered: the andouille sausage with grits (BEST GRITS I HAVE EVER HAD BY FAR. WOW!!), and a side of mashed potatoes. We were a table of six, so we kind of ordered from the whole menu. Other things that were in and around my mouth: the FANTASTICCCCCCCCCC mac and chesse, the meatballs, and the cheese board. We also got an amazing bottle of pinot grigio whose name escapes me probably cause I had about the 2-3 glasses and I'm a cheap drunk. To summarize: if you like alcohol, have a hearty appetite, and like to eat things that taste good but are bad for you, come to Beckett's table! read more

My family and I ate here last night for the 5:15 seating. The reason I tell you what time we sat down was because by the time we ordered we were informed that the stuffing side we wanted wasn't available as they only had enough for the chicken dish. My mother in law ordered the mussels. 10 minutes after our order was put in our server stopped by to let us know they were out of mussels. We were the first seating for the night. Our food took quite a long time to arrive and when the dishes were served the flavors were blah. There was a pork chop dish, two short ribs, scallops and a kids red sauce and pasta. We should have like to take part in the social hour, however, my father in law is limited on his seating options due to a healing broken hip and the bar area wasn't conducive. I hope this was an off night for the restaurant. I won't rush back. read more
