    A pilsner glass-I don't think so-St Arnolds would call it sacrilege.

    Seated in the empty overflow area. Thought they forgot about us after 15 minutes of perusing the brunch menu. Ordered a pilsner and was served in a Grand Cru glass at the same time as our meal. The wife had a Chicken Fried Steak with hash brown casserole and scrambled egg. The CFS was the chewy kind glad I didn't order it. I went with a fish and chips. Fish was hot . Chips kind of warm but not hot not worth sending it back. Tartar sauce was good reported as house made. Wife later admitted her hash browns were not piping hot. I think the main reason for going there is to see and be seen. I'm still out on the solitary side seats. Also the food came out as fast as a McDonald's cheeseburger and for a non-fast food restaurant that surprised me.

    This place was so great! From the comfy atmosphere to the amazing food. I was actually so impressed. Everything we ordered was GREAT! Can't wait to head back when we're back in Beaumont. Highly recommend.

    Had the flank steak stack medium rare with creamed spinach. Shared the Man Candy! Corona nonalcoholic beer. Noisy, friendly, 20 minutes' wait. Needs mocktails and nonalcoholic beverages on the menu! Because each guest either drives there or comes there with a driver. No walk in, bus, or ride share guests

    My 88 year old aunt and I ate lunch here while I was visiting. The food was OFF THE CHARTS. The noise level was such that she could not really hear me across the table - We have the fried pimento cheese (OMG) and the wedge salad and the beef flatbread. I definitely look forward to their food again (maybe to go - so we can visit!)

    We came to J Wilson's for brunch on a Sunday. Our waiter was good, nice and kept our drinks full. I was told their lemonade was very good. I had sweet tea and it was a good. It's a cute spot with cool decor, I don't know if we arrived during or after a rush but the floor was quite dirty. Everyone enjoyed their food. Biscuits were good, but a little dry and the gravy was very good. Ingredients looked and tasted fresh. The steak was cooked good and the potatoes had a nice fried crisp to them. I had the skillet breakfast with tortillas, made a taco and then just ate some, it was tasty and their salsa was pretty good too. These portions are hefty as well, with 3 of us getting to-go boxes. Overall, good brunch spot we chose while visiting.

    Happy that I stopped here as I passed into Texas from Louisiana. I sat at the bar and had a delicious appetizer, craft brew, and Grilled Chicken Sandwich as my dinner entree. The inside was spacious and nice. The bartenders and staff were pleasant and efficient in their work. The whole mood and vibe was supper cool. Enjoyed my time here. Thanks for having me!

    Flank Steak Stack

    Since I've been visiting Beaumont more recently I've been on the search to find some great eats here. J.Wilson checked all the boxes. Service & food were great! Very cozy dimly lit dining area. Plus sides they stay open pretty late for all you weekend late night dinners!

    My hubby, brother and sis in law stopped by for dinner prior to a concert at Ford Park. And we will drive back to Beaumont (from Houston) just eat at J. Wilson's. The place is nice and cozy inside and the food was delicious, flavorful and served up in a timely manner. Our waitress was super sweet, she got swamped by a 45 top party (a testament to the delicious food) and other team members stepped in to make sure we were taking care of. She came back and apologized even though not necessary. Highly recommend the creamed spinach as it was one of the best I've ever had. The boudin balls were also amazing. My sis in law got a seafood bisque and she said it was better than the one she waited 3 hours for a restaurant in Vegas. Honestly, one of my top eats this year. Can't wait to go back

    Half a ribeye and soggy Brussels
    Yara C.

    The service and ambiance are fine, just a casual dining and bar. Could be family friendly too. But for a steakhouse in Texas I was not impressed with the food. I ordered a ribeye steak with crab and hollandaise sauce. The steak had a striking presentation on a sizzling cast iron plate. However, that plate continues cooking the steak, so if it was medium rare by the time it left the kitchen, it was well done by the time I started eating it. It was totally dry when halfway through. The hollandaise was good, the crab was dry and flavorless. The sides we ordered - Brussels and potatoes - were so salty and greasy. Both delicate items that don't need much prep to be tasty, but so over cooked they were no longer crunchy and the potatoes over saturated in oil and cheese.

    Crockett Street Beaumont, TX…read more Normally you would not find me hanging out on Crockett Street in Beaumont, TX but like with everything, we have plans and life happens. After checking in at the hotel I ask what do folks do around here. They tell me I need to go to Crockett Street. Now before I open my mouth, all kind of thoughts race through my head, is it "Sonny" Crockett from Miami Vice, Davy Crockett the American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier and politician or just someone named Crockett who now has a street named after them. No matter why I just ask why should I go to Crockett Street? They explain it has some bars and night clubs, a large parking lot that hosts car shows and other events. It just so happens that they had a car show in town. Well not one to give up a good time to be had, I get my Cubans (cigars) and off to Crockett Street I go. They we right, large parking lots fill with over a 100 cars and a lot of motorcycles, food carts, music playing with all kind of folks enjoy it all. Something to be said about walking around looking at great looking cars, from old to new, muscle to mutts, having a beer in your hand and smoking a Cuban that makes this kind of time very enjoyable. So I was surprised that this all lined out and it was something I was not expecting. So if you find yourself in or near Beaumont, TX. Look to see if the Crockett Street has something going on. Even if they don't the few bars and clubs might warrant a visit. Remember to always drink responsibly Crazy Cuban Out

    "Food, Glorious Food, Going to a deli…read more It makes me feel good, It makes me feel selly." (well, "silly" didn't rhyme, so if Ogden Nash could mangle words to make them fit his poems, then so can I) Oliver Twist from the crappy musical "Oliver!" would have a good time here. The menu has several selections of sammys for sale, both meat and non-meat. You can also pick out what extras you'd want: mayo, pickles, hot peppers, garlic, or oil (likely not 5W20). Location: On the road to Kountze. Too far to walk there from the high school, but close enough to the hospital. Several fast food restaurants within close distance. Parking lot is only one lane wide, but you should still be able to find parking. Know your limits. There are three sizes: 4 inch Skinny, 8 inch Original, 12 inch Big. The Hunny had a Chicken Club, I had Mama's Meatball. I marked mine down to 3 star because I had multigrain bread, and the strange grain taste overwhelmed everything else, and I've had better meatballs. The Hunny liked hers, and was pleasantly surprised to see bacon in there. For the less important things: Decor didn't really stand out. Service was with a smile. I joked about getting multigrain bread ("can you tell I'm from California?"), and the girl said "so's my boyfriend. He loved this one sandwich shop where he came from, and he said that Potbelly is better!" I doubt that anything can beat Capriotti's, but maybe there are selections at Potbelly that do. I'll need to investigate, heh heh. I ate at Firehouse Subs some time ago, and I think their food is better. I may have just gotten a raw deal at Potbelly this time, or maybe I should get white bread instead. Whatever. Potbelly Sandwich Shop is an option if you're in the area.
