Beck’s of Calabash Restaurant

We are located at 1014 River Road and are the home of true “Calabash Style” cooking – the old fashioned way.  Beck’s Restaurant was founded in 1940 by one of the sisters that originally created that famous style of preparing fresh caught seafood that we call “Calabash Style.”
