Big John's Grill — Restaurant in Beaumont

Me and my husband visited Big John’s Grill today for the first time and we were highly impressed. Upon entering the restaurant which most people would refer to as a “hole in the wall”, the restaurant was clean, had a nice smell and had adequate sitting. This made us very happy as several Beaumont restaurants we have been in have a sewer odor which immediately kills my appetite. To make things even more pleasant was when we saw the A95 rating from the health department.

The manager Beatrice was quite helpful in pointing out today’s special which was fried chicken/fried pork chops with cornbread, yams, black-eyed peas, rice and gravy, and cabbage. We had kind of gotten a heads-up on what meals are served each day, so we were looking forward to our lunch. Beatrice continued to assist by taking our drink order and dessert order all with a smile as she hollered to the cook what our order was (which was perfectly fine with us because it took us back to some of the restaurants we visited as a kid. She then told us we could sit down, and our drinks and food would be brought out to us.

Shortly after sitting our waitress Robyn (Robin) came up with our drinks, napkins and silverware. Again, service with a smile. She confirmed our order and checked on us while we waited as well as when the food came out. During our wait I noticed an old-time vintage Dearborn space heater that I pointed out to my husband….and wow just like that I felt like I was sitting in my grandmother’s living room whom I miss greatly.

The food was hot, fresh, tasty, and the appearance was definitely that of a cook who knew what he or she was doing. The portion size was good and the price we paid for the meal was economical. The lunch traffic never stopped. In the short time we sat there, the line grew from 3 people to 15, and people were still coming in for pick-up orders when we left.

We left as very satisfied customer and plan to return one day in the future. Thank you, Big John’s Grill, Beatrice, and Robyn, for making our visit and lunch...

I was so disappointed after picking up my dinner of chicken with rice and gravy, cabbage, yams, black-eyed peas and cornbread. The chicken was very good. The rest was too small of a portion for $9. I couldn't believe they served a plate like that. Only two little cubes of yam..The rest was mush. The black-eyed peas were dry. The cornbread I got was a 2 x 2 piece. Horrible!!! The cabbage was overcooked. I charged it to getting there at 3:15. I...
