First time there. Seating was very uncomfortable - hard bench with a straight back. Tables for 2 are in a hallway with constant flow of people walking to the restroom. Food was very good and our waitress was friendly and attentive.

Becks has become a staple when it comes to fine dining in Augusta for our family. The atmosphere is wonderful and the booths are very comfortable and private. Our server was extremely personable and had a great sense of humor. She also was very knowledgeable on the menu and specials, helping us with decisions and choices. I had the flounder dinner which came mixed with shrimp, scallops and and rich cream sauce. My wife had the fish and chips. Both did not disappoint. I would highly recommend Becks to those looking for a wonderful atmosphere, great service and delicious menu choices.

I was at Beck's about an hour ago and it was less than a stellar experience. The online menu is NOT up-to-date. The tables they seated my party of two in were tiny. I do have a 36" waist and am 6'1" tall, but my elbow could not leave my side closest to the wall. We ordered half a dozen Hunt's Style oysters (they were the highlight of the evening, Frog Hollow Tavern's are better), shrimp bisque, and andouille oyster soup (Venison Chili not on the menu). They were okay to good (the oyster soup could have benefited from some seasoning). We ordered the Salmon and Fried Lobster Tail (Cowgirl Ribeye not on the menu). After having our dinner order in for about 20 minutes we overhear the waitress telling the table next to us about the "specials". I chose the Salmon because the ribeye wasn't on the menu. There was also a redfish and/or grouper that I could hear. I sure wish I had asked for the specials but, do I really want to dine somewhere I need to ask?

great service at the oyster bar as usual, drinks were excellent as usual, food was great, liked the new shrimp & crab cake. Brittni is a gem, all the wait staff are first rate and Hannah and Grady are great behind the bar as always. only issue was couple sitting next to us at the oyster bar that were loud, obnoxious and wanted those around them hear their negative opinion on the catholic church, the republican party and President Trump, we cut short our normal time spent enjoying the atmosphere at the oyster bar last Saturday evening.

Nice restaurant but the dining room is a bit stark. Bar is really hopping. Food was quite good. Our waitress was not great about removing used glasses, etc. compares well with many Charleston chef restaurants.

Our table was in a hall way, not much ambiance. There was an event in a back room which required multiple service people multiple trips to take care of. Lots of traffic . Despite this never ending trail of service, I had to twice catch someones attention to get a water refill. Food was good, service fair.

Great seafood place. Southern charm and delicious oysters. A lillte on the high side of pricing, but large plates are enough to split, really!!! We enjoyed, shrimp creole, smoked pork chop, shrimp burger, and fish N chips. We had small plate of tuna tartar, pimento hushpups, and oysters, all very good.

I’ve been to Beck’s a couple times and enjoyed it. Went with a friend this weekend who hadn’t been before and the experience wasn’t up to par. My friend asked if a GF menu was available but we were told there wasn’t one. When asked if certain menu items could be made without the breading, we were also told that wasn’t an option. I understand, not every establishment can cater to food allergies however I haven’t been to a high end establishment before that refused to offer to some alternative. My food was ok, but not great. And it was cold when it arrived to the table. I would’ve told the server but she was MIA for about 25 minutes. She’d told us earlier in the evening that she was new when we’d asked for recommendations on cocktails, so I’m going to chalk this up to a learning curve. But I was disappointed with the whole dining experience this time.

The daily food specials and service were excellent. The oysters are a hit, the remaining printed menu entrees are somewhat limited and uninspired. Avoid being seated in the back rooms as it is totally void of any ambiance or energy; request the main dining room with your resrevation and if not available move on.

Disappointed with the food. Tried both baked oysters on menu. They were served in their own water that diluted the cheese topping. Tasteless. Salad dinner special was good except the shrimp was cold and dry. Had mussels that were loaded with sand. Replacement less sandy but not very tasty. Broth excellent. Will not return.

Always a great dining experience! The Baked Oyster with the sliced Jalapeño and a diverse selection of raw oysters were a great start. Followed by the Pimento Cheese Hush Puppies, yes you heard me correctly, Pimento Cheese Hush Puppies..... so addicting they should be illegal. Top it off with a great fried lobster tail (along with the Hush Puppies, this entree’s so good it’s legality should be in question also) and a fantastic flounder and seafood stuffing. All around great food, great service from Olivia and an always charming atmosphere. Undoubtedly on the shortlist for best restaurants in Augusta.

Cocktails were really good...fresh strawberry margarita and old fashioned. The margarita was perfect...all house made ingredients and not overly sweet.

The appetizer special was fried oysters which were superb.

I got the salad special which had greens, watermelon, cantaloupe, and blackened shrimp -excellent.

My husband got the seafood special...founder, shrimp, crawfish in a casserole topped with breadcrumbs and cheese. It, too was delicious.

All of te severs were friendly and helpful. The service was quick.

We saw lots of friends - definitely a warm, friendly vibe.
