They are located next to Kroger so I can dip in & out after I hit the grocery store and I don't have to drive through an entire shopping center parking lot to get to it.

The workers are really polite without getting all up in your business because the last thing I want is somebody asking me why I keep buying a 3 Liter of Vodka at 10am every Monday & Friday.

When asked a worker if they had any more of a product we were looking for, he said that if they did it would be hanging on one of the hangers in the store somewhere. wow. When I walked my cart back into store, another employee saw me trying to get in the door and turned his head and continued walking. Any normal person in Texas would have offered to hold the door OR taken the cart and rolled it inside four feet to the cart parking area. Just not quality service anymore. We are regular shoppers, and this was not a one-time experience. The service and expectation today was that of a fast food place with teenagers drawing a check, but not wanting to work.

I've been coming to Debb's Liquor for 25 years, and I thought I'd take a moment to say what a great…read moreplace it is. Frank, the owner, is typically working the store. He's told me many things about great scotches and bourbons, most of which I generally then buy and enjoy! I've also bought many bottles of wine based on the recommendations of Gerald, the store's wine manager. Debbs is a well-run, well-stocked store with pleasant, affable people running it. I've always had a good experience there; the kind of retail experience you can't get from the huge supermarket operations. The pricing is reasonable, the advice is spot-on, and range is all the way from everyday bottles to very high end. I really cannot recommend them enough!

Gerald has hand-picked a great selection of wines and he is perfect for helping you find the bottle you need. Super-nice dude, too. I use each local liquor store differently - I tend to hit up Miller's for craft beer (also because it's right next to my house, and I buy a lot of craft beer) and I head to Debb's on Phelan when I need wine. I go to Sam's Package Store on East Lucas when I'm in the market for liquor, particularly Texas craft liquor. Honestly, though, all three are solid and you can feel confident going to Debb's for craft beer, wine or liquor.

On my continued search to find my favorite (not necessarily the best ) avocado toast, I found…read moremyself today at JWilson's Restaurant. As always, the restaurant was packed--which is always a great sign that something good is happening in that kitchen! My waitress, Bailey, was sweet, attentive, and very accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable. I started with a cup of their famous tomato bisque, and let me just say... I simply cannot come here without ordering it. This heartwarming soup, made with slow-roasted tomatoes, shrimp stock, cream, and Creole seasoning, is rich, comforting, and truly soothing to the soul. It remains my absolute favorite--if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it! For my entrée, I ordered the Avocado Multi-Grain Toast. It's a light and satisfying plate featuring mashed avocado spread over thinly sliced multi-grain bread, served with your choice of sausage or bacon, an egg cooked your way, and a fresh tomato and cucumber salad. Everything on the plate was well-prepared and very tasty. If I could make one small personal tweak, I would love to see this served on a thicker slice of buttery toasted sourdough, maybe with a sprinkle of feta on top. That's just my personal preference and how I enjoy my avocado toast--others may find this version just right as is! The search continues for my perfect avocado toast, but this was a delicious and enjoyable stop along the way. Happy Sunday, and keep sharing those amazing finds on Best Bites!

J Wilson's is one of the most consistently good steakhouses in the Beaumont area. I make it in…read moreabout every six to eight weeks, and in all that time, I've never had a disappointing meal or experience. On my most recent visit, I sat at the bar and started with a Buffalo Trace bourbon while looking over the menu. The bartenders here are always attentive and welcoming; in fact, the bartender remembered me from previous visits, which speaks volumes about the level of service they provide. Dinner was a ribeye cooked medium-rare with asparagus, and it was exactly what a good steak should be: perfectly cooked, with great flavor, and served hot. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. I followed that with their lemon icebox dessert and a lemon drop, both excellent, and finished the evening with a Four Roses Small Batch Select for a nightcap. What really sets J Wilson's apart is the staff's consistency and professionalism. The bartenders, servers, and kitchen team all seem to work together smoothly and take pride in the experience they deliver. Even on a busy night, with spring break crowds and daylight saving time throwing schedules off, the service remained attentive, and the food came out exactly right. If you're looking for a reliable steakhouse in Beaumont with excellent steaks, a strong bourbon selection, and top-notch service, J Wilson's is hard to beat. Five stars. Always a great experience.

I wish we could have just sat and worked through their whole menu... we'll definitely be back next time to sample more. On this first go-round we had the meatball apps and boudain eggrolls. The meatballs were very tender and well seasoned. You only get theee per order but they are a nice size, not tiny. The eggrolls were delish and paired wonderfully with the mustard dipping sauce, but I thought they could use a boost of spice in the boudain - between the fried wrappers and the mustard, the nuanced flavors of the boudain itself gets a bit lost. Still excellent. For the beer we opted for No One Asked, which is described as a brown ale but drinks more like a porter and was a nice choice with all of the apps and pizza. We settled on the Meat Machine for a shareable pizza but I would have also loved to try the Gochu-Gang and the Herbed Ricotta, but they all sound creative and tasty... so many options, so little time! If you haven't been here yet - DO IT!
