Reviews

We were walking through Reading Terminal and noticed two seats were available at the bar. We weren't really hungry but wanted to share something different. We ordered the Beck's Cajun Cafe Gator Gumbo and White Rice for $9.95 with a side of the Mini Cornbread Loaf for $2.00. The Gumbo was so flavorful and the right amount of heat. Our waitress was really sweet. Service was fast. They were getting people in and out. Opposite where we were there was a line and that was for ordering to go. Beck's was bustling, however the staff was composed and got the people what they came for. It was great to see all the action and partake in a delicious lunch.

We went to Beck's on fat Tuesday. I was not as impressed as I thought I would be. I have eaten in the Big Easy so was expecting something with a good amount of spice, and that  French Reux flavor. I would give it a 7/10 in terms of originality.  We had the gumbo, shrimp and rice, red beans and rice and Po boy.  I was also a tad bothered by the fact that there are a million cans of Café Dumond coffee, but when you asked for it there is no coffee available. The king cake was pretty original and even included a special treat. The staff were helpful, but were busy. The other thing, is that there was counter seating but none of the seating was accessible for someone with a disability. Maybe I caught them on an off day. I'll try them again!  Parking: The Reading terminal market has wheelchair accessible parking. However you can find street parking, sometimes, accessible but it may take you a little bit of time driving around.

Visiting Philly for the week and got a blackened catfish po boy and sides for lunch from here!  Prices are really affordable and the po boys definitely hit the spot.  No matter what you order as your main dish, I recommend getting the cajun fries. They are great by themselves but I think it goes really well with any sandwich/meat.  Fried Mac and cheese was really tasty as well. If I visit next time, I would try their options to add gumbo or bacon on it to enhance the experience too.

This place was so good! The alligator gumbo was delicious, just the right amount of spice.. and you can't beat real southern sweet tea. I also got bread pudding which was very good- great texture, sweet but not overwhelmingly so, warm and perfect. I would definitely come here again!Food: 5/5

Food was delicious and the service was excellent. The Mac and cheese balls to me weren't the best I've had, but okay. The have a seating area around thier kitchen which is great. You can see them freshly prepare your food.Food: 4/5

GREAT Shrimp Po Boy and Cajun Fries. The Po Boy was incredible. Shrimp fried perfectly, FRESH lettuce, tomato, pickle and creole mayo on a great baguette. Seriously awesome. Then the cajun fries … crispy french fries with jalapeño peppers and sweated onions. And the dipping sauce is no joke. Counter seating or take out. I sat at the counter, good service and plenty of hot sauce available. Would definitely do again … as their other stuff looked great too. Jambalaya, muffaletta, etouffee, bread pudding etc.  Really good stuff and they give a 10% discount if you're on jury duty! If u ask

Decided to visit Philly for the day and my husband and I we on the search for a cheese steak sense this was my first time in the city. Walking through the market we decided the cheese steak can wait we needed to try Beck’s. Soooooooo glad we did. We ended up getting take out and drove the three hours home and we were not disappointed.  Will definitely be making more trips for the food. Still so much on the menu we want to try.

As someone who has vacationed in New Orleans; stopping in at Beck’s was a taste of the Big Easy.  The chicken and sausage gumbo breakfast bowl with an egg and cornbread was amazing. And the beignets were perfectly warm and sweet and doughy.  The employees were energetic even though the Reading Terminal Market was just opening up as we got there.

So glad we visited Becks Cajun Cafe! The food was incredible - seriously mouth watering! The menu has something for everyone and you will not leave disappointed or hungry!Food: 5/5

Obviously busy, the line moves. Service is pretty solid, I’ll give it a 9/10. Food was good. I didn’t get any sauce so overall I’ll have 7/7.5 out of 10. The fried Mac balls are a 10! Can’t beat that! Po boy was fresh! Bread was soft!Recommended dishesBlackened Catfish
