Sliced bbq sandwich and seasoned fries.

This is a great little restaurant! The service and food were excellent! Looks like it used to be an old "mom and pop" grocery store. Told them it was our first time eating there and a sweet lady (who I assume was Doug's wife) brought us samples of their steak and fish fry seasonings. Food was served hot, fresh, and fast. Wife loved the double bacon burger and potato salad. The sliced bbq sandwich was great too. The bbq sauce was good, not too hot, not too sweet. We enjoy the "out of the way" restaurants, so we loved the rustic decor and small town feel. It is "out in the boonies", but not so far out as to be inconvenient. Overall, great place to eat!

Foods good. Crawfish tails and fish...

Fried catfish plate was delicious. Great food in a cozy atmosphere and very hospitable! It was a treat on a long day of driving.

I have found my absolute favorite cafe in all of Texas while stopping in Beaumont. Oz Cafe is the…read morereal deal. It's the kind of coffee shop that you see so many phony people trying to create these days, and they can't seem to get it right because they're phony! This place is real. It's a creation of real passion, love, joy, light, and appreciation for the art of coffee. And that authenticity bleeds through every part of this place. They have a sweetly written banner on the wall of the origin story. I perceive that the owners had a vision and they were blessed because they did it out of integrity. I'm obsessed!! This is the kind of place that brings your hope back when you're feeling down about the future of the United States. I got the seasonal pumpkin latte, hot with oatmilk + the vegemite toast. The flavors are excellent, everything is housemade, they have fresh sourdough from a local bakery for their toasts, I mean CMON. Does it get any better?? And as a barista myself, I'm a sucker for good latte art and they make sure that their baristas are equipped to execute it on every drink! This is literally the coffee shop that every barista dreams of working at. I love it!!!! The only con is that they don't have any sugar free syrups, but at least they have honey! I should've taken a pic of my latte, but I didn't know I'd be writing a review. Plus, I was just too excited to drink it hehe

Friendly staff and consistency in drinks being made the same, no matter who the barista is for the…read moreday.

You can tell a lot about a place from how they act when things aren't easy…read more We showed up about three minutes before this place closed and everybody was so incredibly nice and welcoming. We actually tried to take the food to go so that we didn't hold them up and they said no it was fine. They'd be there cleaning anyway, and that we should sit and enjoy it, which was awesome. The wonderful service was also reflected by the food. My wife is still commenting on how delicious the brisket was. Get out here as soon as you can hopefully before 1:55 PM.

1701 Barbecue lived up to every bit of the hype. And then some…read more We came to Beaumont because I had business involving TDCJ and had my mom and brother in tow with me. Mom needs to be entertained, and she loves to eat. So while researching things to see, eat, and do, 1701 Barbecue kept showing up over and over again. Now I know why. Wow doesn't even begin to describe it. We ordered a pound of brisket, brisket boudin, pit beans, pepper jack mac & cheese, chocolate chip cookies, banana pudding, canned sodas, Boerne Original Jalapeño Everyday Sauce, and Hot Rodeo Sauce. Every single thing was delicious. (Well, I didn't eat the sauce. Both are gifts for friends.) The brisket was unbelievably tender. My mom is 84 years old and actually said it was the best meat she has ever eaten. She spent half the meal trying to figure out how they get it that tender and then asked. They cook it for 14 hours. The brisket boudin was fantastic, the pit beans were loaded with flavor, and the pepper jack mac & cheese was every bit as good as everyone says it is. Even the desserts were outstanding. The banana pudding is homemade and disappeared quickly, and Mark devoured the made-on-site chocolate chip cookies. We got there just in time before an afternoon downpour, and while it was busy, it wasn't the chaos some online reviews had led me to expect. Everything was excellent and definitely memorable. The only negative thing I can say has nothing to do with the food and everything to do with online ordering. Skip the online premium. Seriously. Every website suggests to skip the line and absolutely order ahead because it's a MUST. Nope. The prices online were noticeably higher. For example, the Friday half chicken special was $8 online but only $6 in person. The banana pudding was $5 online versus $3.50 in the restaurant. When the line is reasonable, it's simply not worth paying the extra markup. Save your money and order when you get there. Food this good doesn't come around often. If you're in Beaumont, 1701 Barbecue is absolutely worth the stop.
