Becket’s

This place has an aesthetically pleasing environment. It’s usually full at the bar but worth the wait. The bartenders are really good, fun and they are make sure you never an empty drink. The food is good as well, I have not had a large variety of the food but what I have was good. Fun place for drinks after work and that is what I mostly use it for.

It took me a little time to warm up to this place, and recently I tried the food again and it was very good. Generous portions, great flavor and excellent service. The interior design is really nice as well, and I love the art on the walls, they feature an artist every month or so.

My girlfriend and I split a steak salad and a zucchini wrap. When I bit into my half of the wrap, I felt a hair string from my mouth from inside of the wrap. There was a hair raveled inside of it. We stopped a waitress and kindly explained the situation. They made us a new wrap ASAP, unfortunately I still couldn’t bring myself to eat it, I picked at it. Being in the customer service industry myself, I would have taken the wrap off of the bill due to the incident, but we paid for it, it was still on the bill. Salad was mediocre at best, cold steak & average flavor.
**Staff was very friendly, no complains with them, but the food was eh. Needless to say, probably won’t be coming back for food but definitely for drinks.****

Maybe below average for people that have traveled. Interesting staff didn’t really look at us in the eyes, odd. Bar manager should move on, so over customer service WTF.

I was here with a larger group and was shocked by the style of this restaurant that was built within an old shopping center. The outdoor patio looked great and had a marvelous view of the lake and docked boats. We sat in a private room complete with a wall of windows looking out to the rest of the restaurant. That was an issue for me, it was neat, but very hard to tell where the window was and where the door was. I was very careful not to walk into the window.
There was lots of good items on the menu that included local Wisconsin cheesy favorites to some higher class type dishes. The food was great, but didn’t blow me away. Service was a bit slow as well but the staff was very friendly.

Got a burger wasn’t that great. But I will say their Fish Tacos are really good! Atmosphere is great food is so so.

Ok food, a bit over priced. But a great location and a decent crowd. I’ll be back but I won’t be a regular.

This place is attractively decorated in a modern style (atypical from other Oshkosh places I’ve seen) that really goes over well with me. Our service was spotty and somewhat insincere but our server was receptive to requests (but really, why do I need to ask for more water?). With that said, everyone else working there was so nice. Our server just seemed confused and not well versed on the menu. They were out of the sangria and the signature martini tasted like a lemon ricola drop. If you like IPAs, don’t waste your time here. They didn’t even have one.
Tacos: delicious and slightly spicy. The is a $ 2 taco Tuesday special that I would definitely come back for (even though I don’t live here).
Oysters: husband loved them! They came with horseradish which was a nice touch.
Cheese curds: they are square (what?!), white cheddar nuggets. Totally delish, totally worth it.
Mojo Skewers: the rice was so, so bland. You could tell they were cooked in too much water. The shrimp itself was okay but I would not recommend this beer.
Scene: bathrooms had paper towels all over the floor and the hallway leading to the bathrooms was dirty with paper pieces and such. Really a turnoff for such a good looking restaurant.

We booked Becket’s for a group of 10 for a work happy hour event. Our first impression when we arrived was, «this is Oshkosh»? The interior is modern with lots of local art hanging on the walls, big expensive use of the Fox River, large patio with covered tables, and a beautiful bar.
The service was very polite and responsive. Upon arriving they had two servers ready for us, and brought out a mix of appetizers. The grilled shrimp skewers, cheeseboard, and artichoke dip.
The food was decent, and somewhat creative. Not at all a «Applebee’s style» appetizer selection. The tap beer selection was around 8 to 10 craft beers, with several other varieties available in bottles.
Overall if you’re looking for a good view in the summer to have a drink, this is the place

Fabulous spot for lunch or dinner. Right on the Fox river with spectacular views! The food there is fantastic, we have eaten there several times. Recently I had their vegetarian burger, best one I’ve ever eaten! If you weren’t told it was vegetarian you wouldn’t know, I ordered the cares with fresh mozzarella, tomato and pesto so fresh and served on a toasted bun. Their potato croquettes are out of this world, garlic mashed potatoes made in to a ball and breaded… so yummy… they have happy hour half price appetizers and drinks daily from 3 – 6; and all day on Thursday!

We went for the Mother’s Day Brunch recently and it was extremely disappointing. This is the first time I have had food with little to no flavor at all. The brunch buffet was kept with a bare minimal amount of food, the room where the buffet was set up was too small and it was difficult to maneuver around in. The food quality was unacceptable for the price, and all of it was very uninspiring or creative. I would swear most of the food was not even prepared on sight – i.e. it was likely prepared, frozen entrees and desserts. Not worth it at all.

Kate is best bar waitress ever! Pan fried walleye rocks… along with Sly Joe & his Smooth Operators!

Horrible service, horrible food. Dirty dishes and food stained chairs. Arogant manager. Will never eat there again and neither should you.

Great view, good architecture and bar and average food. But, if your visiting from out of town take my word… it doesn’t get much better in Oshkosh (unless you want a diner or a fish fry). They have some cool teak booths that seat 5 or so and have live music. The dining room overlooks the water and in the summer there is outdoor seating (Summer in Oshkosh happen for 8 weeks a year).
Our blue point oysters were fresh but the shrimp cocktail lacked the crispness and snap of really fresh shrimp. The salmon salad had fresh greens and pear chutney, but the salmon was overcooked and a little boring. The cod sandwich (which was a value for $ 8) was served with 2 big pieces of the bland fish (I could only eat one) and a good portion of fries.
Nothing was terrible, nothing made me have an orgasm in my mouth. However, with daily HH specials, a low key bar with TVs and some live jazz as an option I could be convinced to go back– partially bc I don’t know where else I wouldngo.

New Year’s Eve — not really my favorite holiday, but the boyfriend and I came out with some friends for a 9pm dinner, intending to stick around and enjoy the music until midnight. While it seemed like the kitchen had thought about the fact that it was a holiday (special, limited «Celebration Menu»), front of house clearly hadn’t.
We arrived ten minutes prior to our reservation and were assured by the army of hosts (seriously at least 4 of them were milling around) that our table would be ready soon. We weren’t seated until 9:20, and they first tried to seat us in the private dining room by the door, away from the live music, without any heads up or asking us if that was ok. A member of our party indicated that no, that was not ok, and we were offered a high top table in the bar area, which took far longer to clean and reset than seemed reasonable, especially given the number of people working.
Even allowing for the holiday, service was not great, with several miscommunications and/​or forgotten items. When our server asked us pretty pointedly if and when we might be ordering dessert, we asked if she had somewhere else to be (it’s 11pm on NYE, obviously we’re staying until midnight…), and were told that normally dinner service ended at 10pm, so the waitstaff was being told to close out their tables and leave, since the restaurant didn’t want to pay them. It seemed kind of weird, given that it was NYE, but we duly ordered dessert and paid up. We later saw our server, having changed clothes, partying down in the bar area. Honestly, the whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth.
The food was fine, neither great nor terrible, and lacking salt, as seems typical around here. The boyfriend’s medium rare lamb was actually pretty rare, but he didn’t bother to send it back at that point. The website didn’t indicate the special menu for NYE, so when we arrived, I was disappointed to discover that their cheese curd appetizer that I had been eagerly anticipating was not on the menu. I understand the reason for limiting the menu, but some advance notice would have been nice.
Overall, it was ok. It seemed like they were treating NYE just like any other night, which clearly it isn’t, and I would have preferred more information up front about how things would be (the menu, seatings, etc.). I definitely won’t be back for NYE next year, but I probably will come back on a regular night.

Had a great lunch this past summer at Becketts. Had a great rotating mix of tap beers which were a great mix of both local craft beers and import beers.
The food was solid, high quality burger meat with good fries as well. Service was good as well.
If you’re looking for a quick place to grab a nice lunch, would recommend.

I’ve only been here once for some appetizers and drinks. The calamari was pretty decent but the bartenders were very uninvolved with my group (4 of us). They weren’t as attentive as they could be and were not really interacting with anyone at the bar.

Real hit or miss – sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s ok (considering that the menu is at a higher price than most in Oshkosh). One of the nicest restaurants in Oshkosh, though, and I recommend sitting at the table surrounding the fireplace if you can.
Recommended items: Burger, steak salad, cod, salmon.
The potato croquette is a different side than offered at most restaurants, and I recommend. Sometimes the fries can be limp but other times they aren’t. I think there is simply inconsistency in the kitchen.

For a place that’s in an old abandoned mall that’s now mostly office space they did an okay job. The place is trying to pull off clean and modern, but the little touches aren’t there so it looks more like it’s unfinished than clean. It’s not very inviting and feels like it’s trying to be expensive, but looks cheap. It doesn’t help that it looks like they’ve done nothing to the place since it’s opened.
Our server was okay, the guy who sat us was kind of a douche (I think he was the owner), and our drinks were great because you can’t screw up tap beers. That’s about the only thing that’s good about this place. Our food was underwhelming. My father got the braised pork shank. It wasn’t cooked properly and the pineapple bbq sauce is either store bought or they mix bbq with pineapple juice. Guys, that’s not real pineapple bbq sauce. My mother got the California chicken salad that she compared to Panera Bread. I got the Becket’s Burger and it was okay at best.
This place just does enough to get by and it’s sad.

The owners are awesome. Great location on the river. They support local artists and the local music scene. The food is very good. The Walnut Burger is a solid vegetarian option, as well as the black bean wrap. Lots of Craft Beer Choices. For a side, order the potato croquette. This place is hip. Look for the iconic Smart Fortwo outside with the Becket’s logo. My wife and I come here to meet friends at least once every time we’re visiting Oshkosh.
