    Inside Big John's!
    Christopher P.

    Talk about AMAZING!!!! It was like I was waiting to see my grandmother (at a young age) walking out of the kitchen!!!! BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN BEAUMONT!!! As I noticed elected city officials walking in for lunch I knew we were in the right place!!!! EVERYTHING from the sweet potatoes to the perfectly seasoned cabbage, the blacked eyed peas and rice and gravy was just one treat after another!!!! Best kept secret in Beaumont! It may not look like much from the outside, but your insides will thank you for stopping by!!!! DELICIOUS!!! My co-workers were impressed as well... 50 "OH MY GOD THIS IS SO GOOD"s and the statement, "This is life changing chicken" says it all... GIVE IT A TRY!!!!

    Catfish , rice and gravy , pinto beans, okra

    I love this place . Service is excellent and it reminds me of good Louisiana home / soul food cooking .

    Best plate lunch $9

    This food was amazing today. I went back to the office and my Co workers went back and got a plate as well. Great customer service over the phone. I had fried chicken, rice, black eye peas, yams and cabbage. Only negative I want better cornbread mines was hard and wasn't sweet. I will be back soon! This plate was $9. I gave them $10 it's worth it

    I generally only get the double cheeseburger basket, but my coworkers say it's the best fried chicken in town.

    Hate to write this review. May create more lines here. Best fried chicken hands down. Old school down home hole in the wall place with excellent food and people. 3 pieces with fries and roll less than $5 if you are not picky about your pieces of chicken. Can't beat that at all. We call ahead for lunch and car pool 10 minutes for lunch. It's that good.

    Yams, cabbage, black eyed peas with rice and fried chicken.

    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!

    The food was amazing! We live a hour out of town, but will make it back!…read moreGreat service and great selections!
