We got the 3 meat plate which came with 2 sides , then got a large Mac and cheese, we ended up eating it for 2 meals there was so much food lol. The brisket was just ok, but the sausage and ribs were on point , the jambalaya side was amazing , the Mac and cheese was good ! And the potato salad was standard potato salad The only thing disappointing was the lady working the register appeared grumpy and not very friendly. Maybe we caught her on a bad day , but the guy that brought our food out to us was friendly and brought us back extra plates and pickles. I would totally 100% come back here again

Even though The Pit Room is known for its BBQ, I came here strictly for the breakfast tacos…read more I got the Brisket & Egg Taco ($5) and added cheese ($0.50). It was so good and came with a good amount of brisket. I should have added bacon to it too. I also ordered the Pork, Hash & Egg Taco, which was solid, and the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Taco because why not. My favorite was definitely the brisket taco, but I wish I had tried one of the sausage tacos too. When I'm back in Houston, I'm definitely coming back to try them. * 4.5 Stars * Breakfast tacos served from 7am-10:30am

The Pit Room used to be one of my favorite barbecue spots in Houston, which makes this visit…read moreespecially disappointing. After the three-taco dinner, I honestly struggled to reconcile what was on my tray with its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. The biggest problem was the one thing a barbecue restaurant needs to get right: the meat. It arrived cold and lacked flavor. The tacos fell apart as I ate them, and nothing about the taste made up for that. I've had considerably better tacos from food trucks. At a place with this reputation, I expected much more. The sides didn't rescue the meal. The cornbread was dry, the mac and cheese was mediocre, and the atmosphere felt lifeless during our visit. The meat should have been the star of the show; instead, it was the biggest letdown. The staff, however, were wonderful--warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. They deserve credit, and the service was easily the best part of the experience. This wasn't an inedible meal. It was an underwhelming one from a restaurant I used to enthusiastically recommend. Two stars reflects this visit, and I hope the kitchen gets back to the standard that made me love this place.

They have a great selection of sides (bbq beans, Mac and cheese, cobbler, coleslaw) and I try to pick something different each time. The green beans are a favorite. Usually, pulled pork is my go to BBQ meat, and it's good here. The brisket just outshines everything. They've recently started serving breakfast croissants (which look amazing) but we haven't tried those yet. They serve breakfast until 9am -- I'm retired, it's a 30 minute drive, and my coffee hasn't usually kicked in that early. Maybe one day I will set my alarm to make a point of trying breakfast. But meantime, you really can't go wrong here with the meats. Frankly, I'd probably be happy to just order up a pound of moist brisket and call it a day. They do bake their own bread. They serve cafeteria style and there's plenty of room inside and out for all your friends and family. Friendly atmosphere, clean, courteous staff. They've got it going on here.

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.

Brisket is an up-charge on all items. I was surprised that a BBQ restaurant has an up charge on meat. But on to the flavor. The brisket was just ok. It had too much fat for me and the meat was pretty dry. The sausage was really good. The beans were my favorite, they were seasoned well. The mac and cheese was bland. It didn't have actual cheese, it had a watery cheese colored sauce. I would not get that again ever. I will try them again, but I will skip the brisket and Mac and cheese. I forgot to take a pic when the food arrived, the pic below is after I packed my leftovers.

Food was amazing! I got the bomb potato based on previous reviews and it was excellent. Seating is outdoor picnic tables so plan to eat in your car or take it to go if the weather isn't cooperating.
