E W Beck's

EW Beck's is the best restaurant in downtown Sykesville! Always came here growing up, and got to visit when I was in town again this past weekend. The service is always great, and the food is always delicious! I'm a huge fan of all things crab and Beck's is one of the best for it. Cream of Crab Soup: 10/10Crab Dip: 10/10Chesapeake Burger (Burger with crab dip on top): 10/10 My husband had the Bao Bun special and loved it. Our friend had the chicken and waffle sandwich which he also really liked! Can't wait to be back!

It's difficult to identify this as a restaurant on the Main Street in Sykesville for a visitor. Signage is not great. We wanted to sit outside because it was such a nice day. Very nice outside patio and there are two which was interesting. Once we got seated we noticed the flies and bees flying around others seated on the patio.We sat and waited for longer than normal period but once the server came she was pleasant and took our order. Upside is the food came quickly and was hot.I had the pulled pork sandwich which tasted good. It was advertised to come with an onion ring which it didn't. The house made pimento cheese was lost in pork. My wife's chicken club was unwieldy and fell apart as she tried to eat it. The most disappointing part of our lunch was the constant fighting off of flies and bees. It made it difficult to enjoy our lunch and have drink on a nice day.

This restaurant is super cozy and the vibe is chill and welcoming. It has been around since the early 90s, and feels like a hometown bar like 'Cheers.' The food was excellent. I was starving so I started with MD crab soup. Honestly the best crab soup I have ever had. The servers on the floor were very attentive and welcoming. Shoutout to our server Sydney! My friend and I got lunch... cheeseburger with fries and loaded nachos. If you order the nachos, the serving is huge, enough for 2-3 people. I can't wait to go back. The food was great and there are tvs everywhere to watch any game on tv.

Woefully mediocre food with realLive salt of the Earth townies and disinterested waitstaff!! Boring salad, flabby undercooked wings. You've been warned!

I had high hopes for EW Becks. We ate here last week thinking that a nice small place in the historic district would be a good place to get some lunch with some quality food. We were unfortunately mistaken. The LEMON & PARMESAN ENCRUSTED SALMON was a bit bland, but it was okay. Nothing great and definitely not worth nearly $19. The real loser was the Supreme Nachos. I mean, literally nothing good to say about it. The cheese was just cold, hard shredded cheese. The chicken on it was tough and bland. No moisture at all so it was impossible to tear pieces apart. The most hilarious part was that it was baked on top of "wax" paper, but the cheese stuck to it like glue so you always got bits of paper with your cheese. Then there's the service. Although the server was sorta friendly, we rarely saw her. They weren't that busy so I'm not sure what the issue was. I finally had to track her down to get my check. I definitely do not recommend this place. I'm sure at one point they were great, but you could tell it's best days are behind it.

Solid place for dinner on the Sykesville Main St strip. Great food and service. I really enjoyed my Caesar salad with grilled chicken here. The croutons were amazing! I think they were smothered with garlic butter. The chicken was great, but I wish there was more of it. However, the salad portion was huge, definitely shareable for 2 people. My girlfriend enjoyed her short rib with the mashed potatoes, and her parents enjoyed the quesadilla app and brueleed sandwich special. I tried the short rib and it was quite tasty, with a sweet tang to it. The service was also great here, very community oriented and personable. I had a great time at Becks!

I've been coming here for years and it is a never-fail spot. The crab wontons are my favorite appetizer, and the burgers are to die for - but I also love trying their specials menu. Most recently, I tried the short rib special that came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. It was delicious! The parmesan crusted short rib melted in my mouth, the crust offered the perfect crunch, and the sides complemented it perfectly. My dad and I also opted for the swordfish taco appetizer and it was great! The sweet and salty crema and corn salsa was a perfect pairing and it was a great portion for two. 100% worth a stop for anyone ever in Sykesville, always my go-to when I'm home, and where I recommend everyone to try if they're visiting the area!

Went there for brunch 12/29/24 had cream of crab soup and a Chesapeake burger both very tasty French fry's were great worth the price , bartender knows how to make a good bloody Mary Yes I will visit again

We had some good food here yesterday. The waffles and chicken sandwich and chicken club were very good. The outside seating was nice, but a lot of flies and bees unfortunately. The service was a 2. I never was asked for a refill on drinks and it took too long to be served when we first arrived. Our fries came out cold and had to corrected (which they did).

Food and service was pretty good. One member of our party ordered the chili and said it was the worst chili he has ever eaten. The crab dip is very good and the burgers were excellent.
