I saw your story on the news. What you did for the little girl and her family is really special. If I'm ever in the area I'll be stopping in to return the gratitude. You guys are awesome and I wish you all the best. read more

This is a cute restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere. The man candy was sinfully delicious, and I will admit that I used the provided bread to sop up the habanero jelly. I ordered a chef's burger, which was adorned with the aforementioned man candy. Though the burger was good, the pork belly was really the only part to write home about, though I appreciated the toasted bun. I also got a side of yams, which were sweet but not cloying, and which I would most certainly buy (and eat) in bulk. I liked the nuts on top. read more

Was back in my hometown visiting for the day. A friend told me about this place and that I had to try it out. I'm always skeptical about a new place but I was beyond impressed. They had several beer choices on tap, not just your local bud light and miller light sissy beer but the good stuff. I'm a bit of a beer snob so when a place has a good selection of craft beers they earn a point in my book. I debated between the waffles and pork, which looked amazing ( saw photo on yelp) and the shrimp and grits, decided to go with the shrimp n grits. OMG!! Wow, I'm so happy I went with that selection, it was outstanding! Beaumont is stepping it up with their craft beer game! Excellent food, great service and huge selection on alcohol! I don't think it could have been better! I will be visiting this place when I return over the holidays. read more

Third time was no better than the first two times. We won't be back. We were surprised because some friends brag on the place but after three bad trips it can't be a coincidence. read more

This will certainly be a staple in Beaumont for years to come. I enjoy eating here while traveling back and forth from Texas to Louisiana. Great service for such a new establishment. read more

The meaning of trying something new was made perfect by this restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet it was affordable. Walking in we were met by the greeter and we didn't wait but a second and we were seated. We only waited 2 minutes and we had a server that was very nice and acknowledgeable. We told him it was our first time there and he was very nice to explain the restaurant and the entire menu to us. We got our drinks no more then four minutes and we never had an empty. We took our time looking at the menu and the atmosphere was very much a laid back classy feel to it. We finally order and I ordered something big called the "center cut pork chop". We waited maybe ten minutes and the food was huge and portions were large. The pork chop was larger then any steak I ever had. I went to cut into it and my wife barely touched it and it went right through it like butter. The meal was so good and delicious. The pork shop was tender, juicy, sweet and cooked perfect. The potatoes were soft and so good that ketchup was not an option for me. After it was all said and done, the meal filled me up to the point I couldn't make for amazing desert menu. The price ended up being good, tipped big because of the amazing service, and had nothing to take home. I'm very much going to return as soon as possible for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and defiantly will be doing dinner again. If I could give it more then five stars, I would. Amazing everything here, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. read more

See all

We ordered a few sandwiches. It was a little pricey but it was pretty good. The bacon that they used on the sandwich I had was like cracklins so it was really good! Waitress was nice, and the bar was pretty big looked clean and nice. Will come back to try something else new. The beer selection for draft was great. They have a whole beer menu if you enjoy trying different beers. read more

This review is getting an extra star for service. Larron is the man, and has always taken care of me at MLG. Good to see a familiar face here. To start I'd like to say that the Shrimp and Grits were on par. I've had better, and I've had worse. I do think the $15 price tag was a bit high, but I wish I would've ordered it for my meal (my boss had it, and gave me a taste.) Honestly, I wish I would've ordered anything other than the Cuban Reuben. I'm a man, so naturally I enjoy my sammichs.. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this one at all. It's missing key elements that leave you feeling almost jipped. I could've had a larger, tastier meal at Jason's Deli for half the price. Heck, Buc-ee's even get's this sandwich right. It seems simple, but someone here got it way wrong. Cuban - Pulled pork, ham, mustard, swiss, pickles, pressed Cuban bread... Easy enough Reuben - Corned beef, kraut, swiss, dressing, and rye... Simple Lets talk about the Cuban Reuben I just endured. The bread is heavy and completely wrong for this sandwich. It is lathered with mayo-heavy remoulade, that completely overpowers the pork and tiny little slither of beef (seriously one slice of beef an inch wide and maybe a quarter inch thick). The pork was dry and had no flavor, as was the corned beef. All I could taste was bread and mayo. There were no pickles, no mustard, no ham, no kraut, no nothing. Just a small portion of meat stuffed between a lot of bread and an attempt at remoulade. I'd like to ask the chef what he/she was thinking here. A lot of poor planning on this one. Here's an idea. Go have a reuben at Jason's, and a Cuban at Tico's... then put em together! You plate this sandwich at $13.. for what? read more

Atmosphere and ambiance have good potential but food is lacking. The shrimp and grits were extremely bland. For $15, I would expect some type of flavor profile. Great location and feel, just need to rework the menu items. Overpriced for what you receive. read more

Went to JWilson's as I was visiting my parents in Beaumont and this is the newly opened restaurant they wanted to try. Went around 5:45 p.m., and it was not crowded. Bar was full. I ordered the Jambalaya and it was outstanding. My dad had the Cuban corned beef with white beans and it exceeded expectations. They key thing we liked is that all their food is freshly made from locals (pork, beef from nearby farmers as well as the produce). My mom had the shrimp quesadillas and they were good but not over the top like the jambalaya and cuban corned beef. .. But take it home with the bread pudding desert!!! It took all 3 of us to eat it. Great ambiance and strongly recommend. Great service too. Will definitely go there again. read more

My husband and I sat at the bar and received A++++ service by the bartender, Sam. Sam made great beer suggestions and offered a sample from their nitrogen tap. Although the restaurant and bar was very busy, he was attentive to our needs and made sure we never had an empty glass. I had the burger salad and he had the burger. Our food was delicious, fresh, and served at the right temp. The prices were great. We had 2 beers, burger and my half salad for about $30. The restaurant did get loud as the place got busier but the atmosphere remained relaxed. We will certainly be back. read more

Really enjoyed this place - friendly service, nice space, good food, a lot of gluten free options. Enjoyed the beef quesadilla!

I loved the atmosphere! The food is tasty and I love the fact that it is all house made and with local ingredients. I was a little disappointed that the service was slow and my food was lukewarm, but I'm chalking that up to growing pains. I'll be back to try more of this yummy menu! read more

Great find in Beaumont. Excellent food (I had the sweet tea-brined center cut pork chop which was absolutely epic), great draft beer selection that changes regularly, and a stellar bourbon selection...one of the best I've ever come across. Cozy atmosphere, and excellent service - managerial attention (checking in) was a nice touch. Definitely will be back. read more

Was there this weekend with my wife and a few friends. After reading good things about it, we were excited to try it out. As our friends had made a reservation and were already there, there was no waiting to be seated. Once seated, we ordered a few drinks (wine, martini) and the BBQ chicken flatbread as an appetizer. The wine was good (it's hard to mess up a Riesling), the martini was lacking flavor; the flatbread had all good ingredients but was lacking BBQ flavor. For entrees we ordered the flank steak w/potatoes: the portions were good however, once again, it lacked flavor. The flank was a little over cooked but of good quality but lacked seasoning. the little side salad/slaw was tasty. To finish, we ordered the bread pudding everyone raved about on Yelp... it was okay. As already mentioned, a scoop of some quality vanilla bean ice cream would definitely take it to the next level. Overall, the bill was $90 with tax and probably overpriced. We're on the fence whether or not we'll be returning. read more

I have only ate here once thus far, but plan to go back. I ordered the Jambalaya from the dinner menu, and I got the large portion. It came out in a cast iron pan. The flavor was great, but I felt like it could've had more meat in it. All of the meat was placed on top, and I ate it as such, until I realized there wasn't more burried within the rice. The prices are about what you would pay anywhere else. You can order a relatively cheap meal, or you can spend a large amount. They have a large selection of alcoholic drinks. I ordered something I had never heard of, and it was pleasant. The wait staff was friendly, however upon hearing our conversation, she decided to add her .02. Some people welcome this, but the topic was political and I could tell she was stressed. It made me slightly uncomfortable. Some elements of the restaraunt were of lower than expected quality, such as bathroom door handles, but this is a new venue, so I expect over time, they will upgrade things. Despite these minor complaints, I want to go back, based on flavor alone. read more

J. Wilson's - Jambalaya (large portion) from J. Wilson's in Beaumont. - New American Near Me - Beaumont, Texas

First visit during date night with my wife. I had Grown Man Grilled Cheese with Man Candy or somesuch on it. Good stuff. Great atmosphere. Classy. Will go again and bring friends too. read more

Impressive. Really impressive. Nice whiskey, excellent cold brew, and truly legit jambalaya and white beans (Louisiana native here). The half salad with flank steak was big enough for a meal and absolutely delicious with goat cheese, pecans and juicy fresh strawberries. Good service too- bartenders were friendly and attentive, even at closing time. So happy we stopped on our way between Austin and Baton Rouge. read more

The Food looks great, service is awesome, but the food itself does not have much flavor. Tried a lot of different menu items and was not very satisfied. I give it 3 stars just because the service was great, but I would do 2 if it was not. read more

Service was perfect , we had Vicky she was attentive and and very good server !!! We will ask for her every time we go read more

My party of three were each disappointed with the meal that we each had. We were expecting much better from all of the reviews we saw before we went. The three of us enjoy eating out and are not very picky when it comes to food, but this was a definite disappointment . read more

Wonderful!! Had the man candy for an appetizer and the shrimp and grits for an entree. I'd post pics, but I've already started eating it!!

Brunch Birthday Party for my dad today. Jonathan, our server was amazing and accowmmodating. That menu selections were great and the kitchen sent out our meals with great timing. Loved the roux based sauce in the shrimp and grits and i could have eaten more of the tamale cake! Great place. read more

I'm so proud of this place right now during the quarantine! They're doing such an amazing job of their curbside pick up. They family meals are amazing and I fed my family of 6 (4 kids) for $32!!! I can't hardly do that from the grocery store! I honestly believe they're doing this to serve the community because they can't be making much profit of of these meals. All that to say, you've made a loyal customer out of us! Really appreciate you guys and what y'all are doing to feed the community through this virus mess. Sincerely appreciate it!!! read more

The quality of the food here is phenomenal. I have been here twice and the food, service, drinks and experience is always on point!

This place was more than the run of the mill eatery. We went for lunch with a party of eight. The hostess and wait staff were VERY courteous. Now about the food, two words: SIMPLY AMAZING!!! I had the Grown Man Grilled Cheese and my son had the Cuban Rueben. Other items at our table were Shrimp Quesadilla and Frittata .All were delicious and adequate portions. We will definitely return. read more

J. Wilson's - Cuban Reuben - New American Near Me - Beaumont, Texas

Looks small on the outside but is huge on the inside and so beautifully decorated. The attention to detail is wonderful! The wait staff was intelligent and energetic. I ordered the Lazy Tamale Pork. It was so unusual. I really enjoyed eating something unique. It was like a thin cornbread in a tiny skillet with a pork topping. As my friend and I were visiting and eating, a woman who I assumed was a manager or owner, slipped by and picked up the tiny bit of trash on the table... I think it was straw paper. A woman after my own heart! I hate trash on a table! The whole experience was enjoyable! I recommend you go there! read more

Lovely atmosphere, great food. The higher prices are worth it to not be bombarded by the typical annoyances of typical chain restaurants. Try the nitroTap cold brew coffee, its phenomenal! read more

Great atmosphere, great service, and great food! Very urban feel! Not your typical Beaumont restaurant! We went for the first time in late December and have been back 4 more times in the past month!! We've been commending it to all our friends! Try the Sweet Tea Pork Chops! To die for!! read more

Their burger salad was deliciousss! I loved the atmosphere, and the staff was most courteous and friendly! The cold brew coffee was amazing! Definitely going to have to eat here again! read more

This is my second visit here, I really like this place. The food had always been delicious and they are knowledgeable about gluten issues. The mimosas are great too. read more

Great food. Had a stuffed chicken entre with yams. Super good. Great little spot out here. And prob the best craft beer menu ive found in town read more

First thing after we got there was my husband loved the beer selection. We are from out of town and most places only have you're basic beer. He loved being able to try a few samples of different craft beers. He ordered beer flights(spelling?) and liked most of what he tried. Their beer menu is very descriptive and the bartender was very knowledgeable. I had a glass of wine and was glad to have a real selection to choose from. The food menu was a bit limited to me. It's the only complaint I would have. There wasn't anything on the menu for an entree that really stood out. But I finally settled on something and wasn't disappointed. Service was good. We don't normally sit at the bar because it's hard to order if it gets busy. We did this time and I'm glad we did. read more

My family and I stopped in at J Wilson's on the way home from Lake Charles. We were a party of eight and they were able to accommodate us within 10 minutes. While we waited, I sat at the bar and ordered a Ballast Point Victory at Sea. J WIlson's has a great craft beer AND whiskey selection. We were seated right away and started our meal with Chicken Quesadillas. They disappeared within minutes! J Wilson's was able to satisfy our appetite/taste buds and my brother's "healthy meal" requirements. I had shrimp and grits (my first time eating grits) and it was phenomenal. We finished off with bread pudding (it didn't stand a chance), which left us with full bellies and smiles. Our server was great and she told us J Wilson's has only been open for four months. Keep up the good work, we will definitely come back! read more

I am very excited Beaumont had a restaurant with great quality food that is a great price. Fresh food that has unique spins on originals, with really great service. I have been here twice on visits in town, I would go more often if I still lived in the area. Do yourself a favor and visit J Wilsons read more

We love J. Wilson's! The ambiance is cozy! The drinks and food are great. The Cobb salad or the Chicken flatbread pizza are always my lunch choices! They have a wonderful bar area if you want to go in for a quick drink. read more

Their seafood flatbread was ok. It lacked a bit of flavor. The waiter suggested I go with the pork chop, and he could not have been more correct. It was amazing! It was super tender, served over caramelized onions on a cast iron skillet. I had the potatoes as a side. My friend had the corned beef and white beans, and that was great too. The price was a little high for Beaumont, but it was worth it. I'd go back. read more

There are oh, so many reasons I'm in love with J. Wilson's, from the vanilla-infused cold-brew Virtue coffee that comes on draft to the fresh-baked breads and from-scratch comfort food dishes. The craft beer program is the best in Beaumont (ask what's on nitro) and the bourbon selection is phenomenal. My favorite place to sit here is at the bar. read more

If it weren't for the rude and pushy managers there we might return on a regular basis. We love the food, the beer selections and it is definitely a people watcher kind of place. Get rid of those lazy and rude managers. Damn.. read more

Ate there for the first time today. Had their fried chicken special and the pork belly for the appetizer and it was absolutely delicious!!!!
