    Ribs and Beef Link Combo
    Samuel B.

    Driving through Beaumont on our way to New Orleans, I realized that I hadn't tried any bbq joints in Texas. Wow, am I glad to have found this place. The beef sausage and ribs were some of the best meat dishes I've ever had in my life. The sauce was incredible -- I lapped it all up with the side of white bread. This is the epitome of a hole-in-the wall bbq spot. You need to eat here.

    Looks can be deceiving. This out-of-the-way bbq joint in Beaumont is worth a visit. Its short menu makes it easy to choose. The ribs were delicious. This was authentic texas bbq. The service was small town great.

    Traveling with a client who wanted true, Texas, BBQ. We found it.

    The food is amazing I love their ribs but keep in mind the wait is a little long so it's not a fast food situation.

    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.

    I knew it would be good when I heard Dwight Yoakam thru outside speakers as the line formed. The…read morebrisket and pork ribs were great but the brisket boudin sausage was a nice surprise. Must try!

    We were driving from NOLA to Austin and had high end dinner reservations in both cities so we just…read morewanted Good but Quick BBQ for our lunch stop. We passed all kinds of fast-bbq chains but found this singular joint via fellow Yelpers. Yay! We ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the ribs and sausage entree. In hindsight I should have (always do) requested light sauce or on the side because all too often (as was the case here) it is sugary and dripping in excess. The pulled pork was 5-stars despite being soaked in bbq sauce. The surprising part was there was easily 1/2 lb of meat between the little round buns. The sausages were equally incredible... homemade and you could tell because the large casings were nearly impossible to bite through but inside was a lightly packed crumble of outstanding meat and spices. We ended up just sliding or squeezing the ground meat out of the two casings. Fortunately, no bbq sauce inside the casing so the meat was able to sing on its own. The lone disappointment were the ribs - there were only 4 and they were not especially warm nor tender. I was expecting fall-off-the-bone and these resembled ribs that had cooked for 2-3 hours but needed another 2 hours to be "done." You order at the window and there's an outdoor/covered picnic-like room about 40 feet away. There is no indoor seating. While flies can get into that open room (no door) it wasn't annoying at this time of year. Parking is easy in their private lot and everything was nicely packaged since every order is essentially to-go.

    There's something seriously flawed with the business model if you're okay with charging a customer…read morethe credit card fee on top of your fixed prices. Bro-- increase your prices by 2.5%z. One thing for certain is the new owners LOST the art of making LINKS. The links have no more garlic flavor nor enough tallow.
