Great atmosphere and staff is very friendly. They have a very big gluten free menu and the food was a 10/10.

My absolute favorite place to eat in all of southeast texas! It's always delicious and has such great staff! Drinks are awesome too! The restaurant itself is so cool and has such a good vibe. We really enjoy regular date nights here! read more

I grew up in SE Texas and since moved away, but every time I visit I hope there's a new, independently owned restaurant. This time J Wilson's answered that hope. Tucked off of a relatively quiet street good food is hidden in this place. We walked in on a Sunday for lunch and were sat in the almost full restaurant where they were serving brunch, almost unheard of in the Beaumont area. I was impressed with the menu and the number of good looking choices. My family ordered the following: chicken orzo soup cup, a side of grits, the vegetarian frittata, the chicken and waffles (he actually ordered the pulled pork and waffle but the waitress got the order wrong), and the breakfast bowl. The grits came like a slice of sheet cake. They were okay, but lacking flavor and the creaminess I think of when I want grits. The frittata slice was a huge triangle of egg in a thin, opaque sauce. I could figure out what the sauce was because it was pretty much flavorless and the eggs weren't that fantastic either. The chicken and waffles were good - the plate licked clean in mere minutes with a nice balance of salty and sweet for the morning when you can't make up your mind. Finally, the breakfast bowl which was a soft, omelette-style scramble with cubes of bacon and melted smoked gruyere cheese served alongside a warm, fresh and very good biscuit, preserves (or your choice of gravy), and crispy, well-seasoned brunch potatoes. They also had guac and pico de gallo which made everything that much better. I loved this the most, plus it had a little bit of everything. Service was friendly and a bit slow, in the pace of the area. This is a really fantastic addition to the Beaumont dining scene. read more

We were not allowed to have menu items because it was the wrong time of day. We ordered a salad and Tea. There was 4 people in the place. It took an hour to get our salad. It was horrible. Wilted leaves looked like they dug up dandelions the waitress SQUATED when she took our order. Her nose was running. She kept sniffing and then wiped it on her sleeve. There is so much more. It was our first time there We will. NEVER go again only reason for one star it won't let me submit without one. I'd give it 1/2 star the tea was good read more

First time going and I wish I had tried it sooner! By far, the BEST restaurant in Beaumont. The food is amazing, service is impeccable, prices are great and I live right around the corner. Comfy, cozy place where the food will melt in your mouth! Kudos JW!!! read more

Ordered off the brunch menu and felt like the portions were small for the price, but the taste was great. Food was so good. Drinks were very strong. Service was on point. I'm not much of a drinker and drank half of my drink and asked for more flavor or something to compliment the straight alcohol that was the bottom half of my drink. They obliged and apologized, did not charge me for my drink. I still would have paid for it. But I was happy they wanted to make customers happy. When we walked in it was packed. And we were there eating and talking over 2 hours and when we got up to leave it was still packed. I could have dealt with less people on a personal level, but it said a lot about the restaurant and how popular they are. And if people only like it because of the drinks or drink specials, they should try the food. It's amazing. read more

Pricey and often more crowded and noisier than I would like, but the food is delicious.

Absolutely amazing! Everything we had was so delicious! The "man candy" (smoked pork belly) was so good. I loved my brisket taco.

Had the hamburger steak and the stuffed chicken. Both were very good! Good atmosphere and plenty of seating!

Top shelf food at mid tier prices make for a great value! Top 5 bar in SETX due to varied unique beer and bourbon offerings. Service is consistently excellent which sets them apart from most SETX restaurants and bars. read more

Giuseppe with the good hair and fabulous glasses was our waiter this evening and we had the best service and conversation with him! As usual, our dinner was cooked perfectly and extremely good! We will continue to come back week after week! read more

Outstanding local restaurant. I've stopped several times for a passing through lunch and it's been awesome every time. On this trip I had their take on a Rueben sandwich. House made dressing , smoked pulled pork and the bread was excellent. Different than your standard Rueben but literally off the chart great. The service has always been on point and the atmosphere is very cool. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Eating at J. Wilson was an enjoyable dining experience. We were there on a busy Friday night and had a 15-20 minute wait. It was worth the wait! We were promptly seated when a table was available. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious Texas-Cajun seafood. Shrimp was perfectly cooked and boudin was delicious. We will make sure to eat here the next time we visit Beaumont. read more

We were going to eat at a different restaurant, but they were closed. Perfect, I was so happy to eat here. The Chief has a way to transport myself right back to my grandmother kitchen. All entrées were beyond what I expected. Try the fried pickles were so crispy, thin, and the house ranch is to die for. This restaurant is amazing at blending southern spices and seasonings together. read more

This is our favorite place to meet for happy hour on Fridays. Good service and food. The flatbread, with a cauliflower crust (just ask), is my favorite! read more

Solid, good food, good drinks, bad angles on TVs & 2 of the 4 bar TVs are set to nonsense internet shorts. It is what it is, I had the same problem at the local Hooters having an internet nonsense channel being one of their main TV's at the bar. Look, I get it, people have short attention spans, but this BS belongs over in the corner away from the bar where kids sit with their families. Bar TV's are for live events & sports, not garbage we can watch on our phones! read more

Great place great food, the bar staff are awesome. Good drink and cocktails selection. We had some food demands and they worked us in and served a great meal. Stop by and give it a try. read more

Food is awesome. Have been here numerous times on my way to visit family in Houston. Always stop her for the great food and service

My husband and I drove over to Beaumont from Lake Charles this morning for a change of scenery and we happened up on J. Wilson's. What an unexpected treat! We had their Man Candy as an appetizer. It was very good and then we shared the Tostada Brisket Stack, which was equally delicious! Best of all was our server, Roo, who made our entire dining experience such a delight!! read more

The food was delicious and it was Mother's Day and we were seated immediately. Our server was very attentive to our needs read more

Amazing food and great prices! They have food for every taste so easy to please while family!

Have only been one time and I really liked it. Had a big menu to make a lot of people happy and the value was very good.

So very good!!! Wonderful place for date night! Steaks are great and the creamed spinach is amazing!

All I can say is truly an enjoyable meal. They have one of the largest selection of Burbons that I've seen in a while. The bartenders are definitely well versed in the knowledge of Burbon. They offered a side Cesar salad as a side instead of fries. It was served in a dinner plate. No small portions and one of the best salads I've had. read more

OMG. The best by far in Beaumont (that I've tried). Service was great. Food was better. It was so hard to decide what to choose.

Found this little gem on Yelp and fell in on my first visit. I don't live in Beaumont, which is unfortunate, but I'd be here all the time if I did live here! Awesome staff, great atmosphere-you get a local vibe. Really nice food and drink options. I've had the crab cakes and literally crave them when I'm not in town. Everything on the menu looks awesome. Always my go to spot when I'm in town. read more

They accommodated our group of 13 perfectly. All of our meals were so delicious, drinks were never empty, and though my memory fails to remember our servers name, he was friendly and excellent at his job. We were meeting from 3 different states, but if we were in the area again, we would definitely dine here. All around fantastic restaurant. read more

I enjoyed the Cobb salad and the crème brûlée. The atmosphere was a little noisy but entertaining. the wait staff were courteous and on point. Overall, a delightful evening. read more

One of the best restaurants in Beaumont! The man candy is pork belly with some sort of tangy habanero sauce. They serve it with bread which is good because you'll need it to soak up those delicious juices. We've been here for brunch and dinner and they have a good selection of tasty dishes! You need to try the chicken and waffles at brunch. They also have a great bar here. In fact the bar is so good, it could be its own establishment! We come here just for drinks and to hang out. read more

The food was ok for the most part, the service could have been better but due to the fact that it was only one person that served us instead of two but I will try the place again soon. read more

This place was really good. Kassie was a great server. Everything was seasoned extremely well and that is not something I say about any restaurant very often. Had the grilled chicken plate with brussel sprouts and tomato cucumber salad, the stuffed hamburger steak, and the kids had Mac and cheese. read more

i've never been so disappointed with restaurant food in my life. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Their menu clearly states it's gumbo style, but it is not. You could take a packet of instant grits and warm them up in the microwave and throw a scrambled egg on top of it and throw five shrimp on top of it and that's exactly what they served me. There were no onions, no bell peppers no sausage nothing like the real shrimp and grits is supposed to Taste like. , Tthey're charging $18 for this dish that I wouldn't even eat. I was too mad to even eat the shrimp. My coworker ate them they've seen the last of my business. read more

Good place in Beaumont! I got the catfish. It was good but lacked flavor. But the texture and portion was on point. The cabbage was slightly random and okay. The spinach was very good and so were the Brussels sprouts. This place is worth checking out if you are in Beaumont but the flavors could use some work! read more
