First time to Nutty Jerrys last night. We had long table seats. While I wish we could have stayed to listen to BB Kings whole performance, the opening band played WAY TOO LONG! Then BB got long winded and the crowd started chattering. That's when they started really playing music, about 3 hours after we got there! So after 4 hours in a hard metal chair and moving my legs out of the aisle every 3 minutes, I'd had enough. BB is an amazing legend, and can still play the guitar. However, Nutty Jerrys is NOT the venue I would have liked to see him at. Plus I did not appreciate my purse being searched as we entered, asked for my ticket when I walked to the bathroom and back (without exiting the event center), and had to throw away my water that I just opened upon leaving. Ridiculous treatment of guests. Shop lights over the Beer Garden refreshment area added to the lack of comfort as they shined in my eyes the entire time. Pathetic. BB deserves better. I would have loved to see him at a legit center like the Julie Rogers theater or Lutcher. Did I mention the plastic Sam's Club tables? Oh that's classy. This place is a joke. I will never be back, and I live in the area. read more

Everything said in previous reviews is true - concert area looks like a high school gymnasium with bench seating for general admission.; Sams Club folding chairs and card tables for the up charge of assigned seating. Terrible service and long lines to get a beer. I was waiting to write this and base it on a second experience, since my first one is so negative - but - it seems N Jerry's is now out of the indoor concert business. This from the Beaumont Enterprise June 8 2014 : "We had a small concert venue here and we tried that for two-and-a-half or three years and Beaumont is just not a concert market," owner Jerry Nelson said. "We don't have enough people to justify the big acts. Those are in Houston. People drive there to see them. I tried Journey and Allen Jackson at Ford Park, and you can't sell enough tickets to make it work." So instead, he shifted his efforts to a different market. Jerry replied on his FB page June 21 2014: "All concert and events will be held in our outdoor arena in the future." So Elise's it'll be. read more

Pretty neat place in the middle of nowhere! If your drinking be sure to get a bucket or two, or four because the lines are crazy long.

Beautiful setup here. Another home run by Jerry Nelson and group. Lots of fun family entertainment ideas here, including a beautiful outdoor arena for horse/rodeo functions, or any type entertainment venue. Lots of options here for the entire family. read more

This is an absolute joke of a restaurant. The venue here brings in all kinds of good, old time bands, but restaurant up front is a complete let down. Generally, the music venue looks like an overgrown junior high school gym with a stage and they can't fill it unless there is some chicken fried country whiner on stage. But the restaurant...oh my...where to begin...touts itself as this upscale steak house...with only one steak on the menu and, as advised by our waitress (who had an attitude worse that a truck stop diner waitress) the cook has to use a meat thermometer to cook the ribeye to medium rare. 10 minutes before the waitress even came to our take, 20 minutes later she finally came back, without the two beers we ordered, popped off with an attitude to beat all attitudes and spun me into a new dimension of pissed off. The owner, who looks like a hickidied redneck himself that should be embarrased about how he dresses in his place (looked like he just came out from under a tractor), came over and got on to ME for laying into his waitress. Everyone else there was not getting good service either. The few I've talked to that were in there said their food was cold and didn't taste very good, especailly for the price. That waitress needs to find another line of work because the hospitality industry isn't for her. I not recommend this place to even my worst enemies. If we go back to see another concert there, you'll see me riding into the parking lot on a pig with wings. Only one star because you can't give none. read more

This place is a joke. If you're a full figured person do not buy the bleacher seats. Even skinny people barely fit inside of the spray-painted lines. The restaurant is awful. The wait staff take forever. Then they serve people that were seated after you. It took us 20 minutes just to get drinks. My mother ordered the etouffee and I had the gumbo, which took 45 minutes to get out to us. The waiter never came back to refill our tea. Then after all of this it took forever just to find anyone to bring us our check. It is very overpriced. Every time I go I have a bad experience and I have gone 3 times. read more

We arrived 2 hours before showtime to see the venue with nothing around it, got our tickets, and proceeded to the restaurant next door. They told us it would be an hour and a half wait, but knowing that we were in the middle of nowhere with only an Exxon station a dangerous half mile away and the venue is one of few on Earth that serves no food, we reluctantly accepted to put our name down because we were starving. We waited upstairs in a very noisy and large lounge with a crappy bar and where you can barely hear the hostesses calling numbers/names for tables. (We thought it would make too much sense for them to just have their waiting area be outside allowing them to utilize the huge 2nd floor with tables as well as the first floor to help with large crowds.) Two hours later we finally got our table and after learning that covered food is allowed to be taken into the venue, we discussed with our waitress (whom I might add left us sitting there without a welcome or without taking a drink order, only to be seen starting with the table that was seated after us) what items would be quickest, she began to warn us that the kitchen was running very slow. We felt in the mood for burgers, but she warned that burgers and steaks would take a long time so we picked random items from the Appetizers section of the menu, hoping it would help speed things up and that we wouldn't miss the intro of the show. About 20 minutes later our waitress walked out and seemed alarmed that our food hadn't been brought out yet. Meanwhile, other tables around us that were seated after we had been were getting things like steaks delivered to their tables. I ordered crab cakes and my wife ordered fried shrimp with sweet potato fries and corn on the cob. We started hearing that the show in the venue was about to start so I sent my wife in by herself so she could enjoy the start of the show and I told her I'd bring the food into the venue once I got it. They have thick paned glass windows in the restaurant that don't allow the sound to go through so I sat there another 15 minutes and saw the concert I'd paid good money starting from my table, still no food. I became frustrated and I walked into the kitchen where staff just seemed to be standing around and I asked where my food was. They all shrugged - my waitress had already brought my $25 tab to the table so it would "speed things up". I started to just watch the show I was missing through the glass and suddenly my food was next to me on my table. I hurriedly made my way over to the venue and as we opened our food my four little $15 crab cakes were there, but my wife's food was missing the corn and the fries were the wrong kind, and there were no utensils. The venue was a joke being 90% tables (yet they serve no food), some chairs in the front and bleachers down each side. Nice options - $65 bleacher seats or share a table with total strangers for $75. Worst concert experience of my 35 years on this Earth!!! read more
