    Boudin balls and a side of ranch

    My first time here and I loved it great little ambiance.a couple if pool tables to pass the time while you wait on your order.cold beer and I highly recommend the Boudain balls.the service is great and even with a room full of people it wasn't but a 9 min wait from when we placed our order in to the time it reached us. Overall a fun experience.go see Mel at the bar!

    Atmosphere is dark and dank, even at lunch. Seems old and run down, just like Catfish Kitchen! Food was just so-so. Would not go back.

Best customer service experience I've had in my 3 years visiting Texas. My wife and I ordered drinks. I had the Old Fashioned and she had the espresso martini. We each got one more before then end of lunch the were so good. I ordeed the cheeseburger and it was better than my steak meal I had at Saltgrass the night before. The fries are cook to absolute perfection. The special Smokey sauce is a great unique touch. I hold this place in equal comparison to Cameron Mitchell restaurants in Ohio. A++

The bread board was just as delicious as last time, and my husband really enjoyed his margarita. We shared the Tuscany Chicken Pasta; while it was a decent dish, it didn't quite compare to how outstanding the food was on our previous visit. It may simply not be the right dish for our tastes, but we're still excited to try more of their menu. I also appreciate that they offer a vegetarian option and are even catering for Thanksgiving, which shows their range and flexibility. Overall, Hearsay continues to be one of the most recommendable dining spots in Beaumont.

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!

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.

The beef tips remind me of a lot of Burt's , meat bar in Houston, Texas, who shut down right after Covid. The beef tips over white rice is amazing. So tender and so good my God how can you make food this amazing? The macaroni and cheese is phenomenal as well. So were the candy yams. The cornbread is great. The gravy that goes over the beef tips is simply the best. The hamburger steak is full of flavor as well. Once again, this is some of the best soul Food I've had in a long time.

I will be reaching out to…read moreLumberton ISD about their students and their terrible staff and I will be going back to Main Event to speak with a manager about clear processes that should have been in place and recognize the bar employee. I'm unfortunately a quality manager so I wanted to cry seeing this business so clearly unprepared for the students. Their management it terrible. Thurs, 05/14/2026, I chaperoned my three daughters who went to Main Event for their participation in band and for top AR points for the school year. We were there for five hours and the experience was terrible. This was mainly due to Lumberton chaperones sitting at the bar while their students TERRORIZED the facility the entire time. There was bare minimum staffing when over 100 Lumberton students & over 100 Port Arthur students were present. Laser Tag Upon entering our schedule for my group had us at laser tag. A Lumberton group was already playing. There was ONE Lumberton kid at the door, two Lakeview Elementary groups ahead of us and two Lucian Adams groups, mine included. Lumberton kids proceeded to cut the line and take all guns once the initial group inside finished. Port Arthur moms were shocked and let it happen. A Lumberton adult entered with just enough time to get his gun and join them though. He was also the ONLY Lumberton employee/parent we saw for two hours. We assumed he was alone by himself with 100+ kids. Main Event employee was completely dissociated, unaware, and unhelpful. No structure or organization was set up for him to handle that many kids. Port Arthur moms(3) had to organize the lines, and put up the VIP door strip to keep the new set of Lumberton kids that joined from cutting the line. As the two PA schools let their kids go, the other kids proceeded to push and shove and nearly break the glass enclosure. Food Service Two lines, one to order, one for ice cream. Older lady barely knew how to handle the register or the 50 kids in line. I sat in line for an hour as Lumberton kids continued cutting in groups. I skipped to the front of the line and let the lady know all the kids were cutting and proceeded to call on the Lumberton kids who were in line before me to allow them to go, made other kids get behind me then waited 35 minutes for an order of fries, chicken strips and 3 ice creams. The worker had no structure for the influx of customers in her line. No clear signage for the other 50 kids in the ice cream line who HADN'T paid and were only made aware when they got to the from to order their ice cream. 30 minutes waiting on ice cream because of that. No adult supervision from Lumberton to make that situation better/efficient. I had two sweet Lumberton girls apologize for her unsupervised classmates behavior. That was the only courtesy we received from the kiddos. Pushing & shoving in every area of the facility, no excuse mes. No manners at all. Bowling Our band teacher paid for Lucian Adams to have the VIP room but was shocked to see a Beaumont family was set up. This was an outside family not a Lumberton or Port Arthur students/teacher. He spoke to staff and we were only allowed two of our lanes and lounge area. It was awkward as they starred at us and we starred at them, all lost on the issue. The family tells us they came to bowl for a graduation celebration for their cute pre-K kid and the Lumberton kids took over every single public bowling lane available. There were 15-20 lanes. Keep in mind, ME was still open to the public and had two PAISD schools present! To rectify the issue, ME event gave them our VIP lanes, forgetting we had them paid and booked. They proceeded to apologize to us for the inconvenience which was not necessary because it was not their fault at all. Once we left they thanked us for our kids amazing behavior and held us at the door talking about how terrible the Lumberton kids were for 5 minutes. Bar The only good service we received was the young man at the bar. White(I assume) , small build, with teal/blue/purple hair maybe?? I don't remember his name but HE NEEDS A RAISE. We had semi long waits because it was so busy and all the PA moms and teachers finally took a break from watching our kiddos AND LUMBERTON'S so he was slammed. He was so helpful and courteous. He forgot things because of how busy he was but we never had to remind him. He'd eventually remember, apologize and get the item. I ate a huge double cheeseburger and fries and almost choked and died of thirst. Did I interrupt that sweet man's work? No sir I did not. He saw my empty plate, apologized and ran to get that drink. We were so happy to all tip him for his hard work.

The restaurant was at 1/4 capacity and should have been a red flag. Ambiance was Texas cliche and forgettable. When the hostess did take us back, the tables had not been bused yet? We ordered the fondeaux appetizer and drinks. I ordered a ginger ale, they gave me ginger beer without telling me. My mother in law ordered a mango margarita that came with no mango. Fondeaux was ok. We received our food at 630pm (1.5hrs after arrival) The porterhouse I got was seasoned and cooked to the correct temp but my Mac and cheese was cold and hard in some spots. It was not good even when it got replaced...school cafeteria quality. My wife's dish was scalding from the heat lamp and was dead. Our friend that ordered her steak med rare couldn't eat it because the toppings and steak itself were cold. Timing was definitely off. Service was not at a standard I would have expected. My "ginger ale" never got refilled and when I asked for it to be filled the waitress put in water? When the bill came we had an extra ribeye added to our bill and was missing a pasta dish for some reason, but they took off $120. Meal was still $111. Not worth it, even with the price drop. One of our party had to go to whataburger afterwards. I was embarrassed for this establishment.
