Recently went here for the first time last week and had a great experience. The atmosphere is…read morewonderful and I feel relaxed when I'm there. The food is great and they have some really awesome specials. I can't wait to go back a second time. My only complaint would be about the drinks we had, the sweet tea was not sweet enough, so I changed it for a Dr Pepper and there was not enough carbonation in it so eventually, I just switched to water. But it's not worth bringing the review down because overall I still had a great time.

They are only open for lunch and I can see why. They would be packed if they were open for dinner!…read more The service is excellent! Our glasses were never empty. I told them I don't want tomatoes and even though the sauce was already made, they picked out all the tomatoes! Talk about service! Our waitress even remembered I didn't like tomatoes when she brought my salad. The Chicken Ala Wesley is delicious! The chicken was tender and the sauce had so much flavor. Definitely a great choice for lunch!

I cannot say enough great things about Bandos and Debbie who runs this fantastic operation. The…read morefood is undeniably the freshest and superbly delicious. It's extremely difficult to please a crowd of 15 people day in and out but all the food was even devoured by the hotel staff at the hotel we stayed I sincerely would give her ten stars if I could!! Bando's prices can't be beat for what you get. Fresh, wholesome, organic and in season local vegetables!! Then I could go on and on forever about the desserts!!! Pumpkin cheesecake!! Creme brûlée to die for. The whole staff was extremely attentive and bent over backwards to accommodate us. Did I mention she caters the courts there too? If you don't get lucky enough to have Bando's cater your event go and eat at her restaurant!! It's very cozy. Perfect for bridal showers or a nice dinner for two!

On my continued search to find my favorite (not necessarily the best ) avocado toast, I found…read moremyself today at JWilson's Restaurant. As always, the restaurant was packed--which is always a great sign that something good is happening in that kitchen! My waitress, Bailey, was sweet, attentive, and very accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable. I started with a cup of their famous tomato bisque, and let me just say... I simply cannot come here without ordering it. This heartwarming soup, made with slow-roasted tomatoes, shrimp stock, cream, and Creole seasoning, is rich, comforting, and truly soothing to the soul. It remains my absolute favorite--if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it! For my entrée, I ordered the Avocado Multi-Grain Toast. It's a light and satisfying plate featuring mashed avocado spread over thinly sliced multi-grain bread, served with your choice of sausage or bacon, an egg cooked your way, and a fresh tomato and cucumber salad. Everything on the plate was well-prepared and very tasty. If I could make one small personal tweak, I would love to see this served on a thicker slice of buttery toasted sourdough, maybe with a sprinkle of feta on top. That's just my personal preference and how I enjoy my avocado toast--others may find this version just right as is! The search continues for my perfect avocado toast, but this was a delicious and enjoyable stop along the way. Happy Sunday, and keep sharing those amazing finds on Best Bites!

The shrimp were a bit salty; but otherwise, that platter passed her muster. I got the red snapper Alexander, and it was really good. Lots of flavor without overwhelming the fish. The Caesar salad I had with it had WAYYYY too much dressing, but it wasn't overpowering. The rolls they give you when you're seated as still to die for. And the cheesecake for dessert was great! The service was outstanding. The only caveat I would offer is that we were there in the middle of the afternoon, and it wasn't busy.

If I were playing Truth or Dare, I would dare you to try one of the newest and most popular soul…read morefood restaurants in downtown Beaumont. I'm talking about the one that is gaining a lot of attention, Truth Lounge and Bistro, located at 672 Orleans St. The name of this restaurant does not lie. Their food is GREAT and that's the TRUTH! Over the top flavor in every savory bite. Luscious and delectable, you will not disagree. This place SLAPS!! Everything from the fried fish, chicken, steaks, burgers, oxtails, and I must also add the healthy delicious salads... are full of that soul food southern flavor that will grab you on the first bite (menu pic included). They load your plate with food that is enough for two meals or share it with someone else. This is Real Soul Food Here!! The restaurant is rather small, with about ten tables and four chairs at each. There is a full-service bar and flat-screen televisions on the wall. Where they lack in size they make up with flavor. There were three of us in our party and we dined in. The atmosphere was inviting, friendly, and even a bit cozy. Beverly was our waitress and she was attentive to every detail and request. It was cornbread bowl day, and if you don't know, you will when I finish. It is a ring of sweet honey cornbread with a protein of your choice and two or three sides cuddled right in the middle. The proteins include lamb chops, roast, chicken, or fish. The sides include yams, collard greens, mac & cheese, pinto beans, green beans, or baked beans. My two lunch friends ordered the cornbread bowls. One was the cornbread bowl with fried chicken (OMG), mac & cheese, and green beans. My other friend ordered a vegetarian bowl with cabbage, yams, and mac & cheese. I ordered a salad with salmon bites, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, and a side of ranch. It was beautiful to look at and even better to eat. Freshness and flavor throughout this beautiful and savory salad. I would order it again. We had an amazing and fun time, our plates were filled to capacity. You better bring your appetite when you go to TRUTH because you will need it to finish all the food they pile on your plate. You definitely get your money's worth. Please give Truth a try and you can Thank Me Later! Tell them you saw it on Best Bites. What have you enjoyed at Truth Lounge & Bistro?

Current has different menus from salads to sandwiches to poke bowls and teriyaki bowls. I have gotten their chicken sandwich, bang bang shrimp, salad, devilled eggs, and My favorites are their chicken sandwich and the bang bang shrimp. They both come with their special sauce, which is delicious! The chicken sandwich comes with a side of fries. I like the bun they use for the chicken sandwich, which is slightly sweet, and the crispiness of the chicken. Their bang bang shrimp is also crispy and comes on a bed of lettuce and shredded purple cabbage. Their fish was greatly portioned. It comes on top of rice and squash. They also placed some shrimp on top. Overall, I do like they have a variety of different options and their proportions. I think it is a great place of you are trying to satisfy different cravings within a group.

Best customer service experience I've had in my 3 years visiting Texas. My wife and I ordered drinks. I had the Old Fashioned and she had the espresso martini. We each got one more before then end of lunch the were so good. I ordeed the cheeseburger and it was better than my steak meal I had at Saltgrass the night before. The fries are cook to absolute perfection. The special Smokey sauce is a great unique touch. I hold this place in equal comparison to Cameron Mitchell restaurants in Ohio. A++

Crockett Street Beaumont, TX…read more Normally you would not find me hanging out on Crockett Street in Beaumont, TX but like with everything, we have plans and life happens. After checking in at the hotel I ask what do folks do around here. They tell me I need to go to Crockett Street. Now before I open my mouth, all kind of thoughts race through my head, is it "Sonny" Crockett from Miami Vice, Davy Crockett the American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier and politician or just someone named Crockett who now has a street named after them. No matter why I just ask why should I go to Crockett Street? They explain it has some bars and night clubs, a large parking lot that hosts car shows and other events. It just so happens that they had a car show in town. Well not one to give up a good time to be had, I get my Cubans (cigars) and off to Crockett Street I go. They we right, large parking lots fill with over a 100 cars and a lot of motorcycles, food carts, music playing with all kind of folks enjoy it all. Something to be said about walking around looking at great looking cars, from old to new, muscle to mutts, having a beer in your hand and smoking a Cuban that makes this kind of time very enjoyable. So I was surprised that this all lined out and it was something I was not expecting. So if you find yourself in or near Beaumont, TX. Look to see if the Crockett Street has something going on. Even if they don't the few bars and clubs might warrant a visit. Remember to always drink responsibly Crazy Cuban Out
