E W Beck's Restaurant & Pub

We have been coming to Becks since they opened. It is still high on our list. Selections can fluctuate (3.5 to 5 stars). Crab cakes are very consistent and great. Rib eye sandwiches are always good. Both cream and Maryland crab soups are always tasty. Raspberry cake was a bit disappointing. Looking forward to sitting outside as it can get noisy inside. Always recommend Becks! Liza our server was spot on.

This has become our favorite spot so quickly even after a couple visits. Every single dish we've eaten has been amazing. The scrapple is the best I've had in my entire life, and I've had a lot of scrapple hailing from Pennsylvania in my childhood. The kids meals are also big hits with our kiddos, especially the mozzarella sticks which have great cheese pulls. The atmosphere is lovely as well. Every server we've had has been so prompt, helpful and a pleasure. Honestly I can't rave about this place enough. It's become our family outing destination.

If I could’ve assigned food 4.5 stars instead of 4 stars, I would but I am picky, and 5-star food should be something really mind-blowing. It was pretty good though! Exceptional compared to any chain restaurant, hands down!! I’m in my 40s and I always enjoyed going to family or home style restaurants growing up (wood floors, wood trim, family-run, they look more like a house than a restaurant), and this gave me those kind of vibes. I love that. My date and I even enjoyed the atmosphere so much, it felt natural to let our meal settle before walking out. Service was impeccable! Everyone there was very friendly! They go out of the way to make you feel welcome and satisfied!

The food was outstanding. The cream of crab soup was the best I’ve ever had, perfectly balanced, not too heavy and not too thin. The portions were generous, and everything was well prepared. Kirsten delivered patient and attentive service, which made the experience even better. Located in the historic district of Sykesville, it’s a great spot with plenty of shops nearby to explore. There’s also a convenient parking lot in the rear with handicapped spaces available, which is a big plus.

Love this place. We make sure to stop here on the way to Pa since we fly into Baltimore. Always delicious, excellent service, and great local folks to chat with at the bar. If you haven't had the shrimp and crab cake club you've never truly had a sandwich in your life. Figure it out!
