On our brief visits to beautiful Beaumont, J. Wilson's is always a must stop. You've just got to give them a try. J. Wilson's has a chill, laid back feel. The smell of home cooking hits you as soon as you step in the door. Just makes you want to take a seat and prepare for a journey. Had to order to-go on this stop as we were headed back to Houston on a Friday afternoon. Food was every bit as fantastic as when you dine in. Staff is accommodating and friendly. Food is great. What more could you ask for. Today we got the Meatloaf Po'Boy and the Red Beans and Rice. Despite it being to go so we could get on back to Houston, these dishes were next level. I have no photo of the Red Beans and Rice with Andouille Sausage because my husband tore into it so fast he was almost done before I had just a second to grab the camera. It's because he wanted 1/2 my Meatloaf Po'Boy. Nice work hon. Perfectly seasoned, tender and super flavorful, the red beans and rice hit perfectly on this cool fall afternoon. If you like Red Bean and Rice, you love theirs. Trust me. Ok, the Meatloaf Po'Boy. My photo will only show half in the to go container because I was again, not fast enough to the camera. This is on Gambino's Bread....that alone warrants 5 stars. They place a thick and juicy slab of savory meat loaf on that with a generous amount of cheese, sweet grilled onions and fresh jalapenos. Pair that with some brown gravy to dip and OMG. If you are fortunate enough to be near J. Wilson's, give them a try. You'll love it!

Went to visit J Wilson's for the first time on 4/01/2023 with a friend. He ordered the Man Candy as an appetizer. I ordered the boudain balls with the sauces on the side. The Man Candy had a little bit too much more fat that meat but it was tasty. The boudain balls were decent they were served warm but if they were hot they would have been even better. The sauces definitely elevated the taste of them. When it came to the entrees my friend got the meatloaf and added the side of greens with black eye peas and I ordered red beans and rice. My beans could have been hotter temperature wise but they were still acceptable. The cornbread muffin was nice and soft with a little sweetness. The beans were full of sausage but I scoured my meal for the little pieces of ham hock and didn't find any. My friends meatloaf was nice and hot and was a nice big portion. While our food wasn't bland, we both felt that it could have used a bit more seasoning. We had an amazing server who was very patience as it was our first time visiting and we truly didn't know what we wanted to eat. He didn't rush us or make us feel unwelcomed. My friend and I left feeling full and satisfied. I might try the chicken fried steak next time I come back.

We brought my mother the day before Mother's Day since we had plans already. The atmosphere was like any other restaurant, and the service was quick and very friendly. Our waitress, Livia, did amazing and was very friendly. Food came out quickly and was hot. We ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer, and the flavor was amazing. They were full of crab meat and not bready. For dinner, my mom ordered the meatloaf poboy, I ordered the Grown Man Grilled Cheese, and my husband ordered the hamburger stack. Everything was very tasteful. The grilled cheese could have used a little seasoning, maybe celery salt or just salt, just my opinion. For desert, we ordered the pecan apple bread pudding. I do have to say that I was a little disappointed. I love bread pudding and usually try it everywhere we go to see who has the best. I like bread pudding that is good without all the sauce and extra stuff added. This bread pudding, by itself, is bland. BUT, if you add all the extras, it tastes great. I wouldn't hesitate to order anything that we ate tonight again. Great, restaurant, food, and atmosphere!

We were celebrating my Fiance's birthday and wanted to try a different place to find. We decided on JWilson's in Beaumont Texas. We were greeted by a friendly staff and was seated quickly. The place wasn't pack but there was nice crowd. We had a window view right next to the bar. The bar was fully stocked with lots to choose from. Our server was Claire. She was very attentive and friendly and also gave us some favorites to choose from. For appetizer we got the dish called Man Candy which was Slow smoked Porkbelly tossed in habenero jelly. OMG . For our entree's my fiance got the 8 Fried Shrimp with potato wedges and I ordered the Sticky Chicken which consisted of three pieces of crispy bone in chicken tossed in Root beer bbq glaze with Potato Wedges and coleslaw. We order a Moscow Mule drink which was also very good and for desert we share the Pecan Apple Bread Pudding. Everything tasted delicious and portions are very generous. Great experience, Good Service, Delicious Food. I will definitely cone again.

OMG! I have been in Texas for a week and have eaten all types of food. Honestly, I was told how wonderful Texas food was and have been disappointed until eating here. It was Sunday brunch and the best thing I ate all week! The chicken and biscuit was HUGE and fantastic. The jelly tasted like blueberry but I never asked what type. It was so good, it tasted freshly made. I have had "cat head" biscuits before and this thing was bigger than the rest of the cat. My wife had biscuits and gravy with an omelette. The gravy was scratch made from a rue with the smoked sausage and was extra yummy. Our server Chad was great also. He had several tables and was busy. We were the cheap table that most servers ignore but Chad kept our drinks filled and made sure we had everything else to supplement our food. He never missed a beat. I wish your place was close to home in Alabama. If you are reading this review and don't eat here, you will be missing out.

Food was fresh, service was great. Love the atmosphere. Parking isn't the best but we managed to beat the crowd, so that wasn't an issue. The Mediterranean flat bread was fresh and delicious. Catfish po boy could have used more seasoning but the batter was crispy without being too heavy. The spicy margarita was ok. It wasn't strong and the hot sauce have it a little kick. The atmosphere was great for a date day. We went around 4 pm on the weekend and it was pretty quiet. Definitely recommend Edit: Tried the weekend brunch. It was crowded and so loud we had to yell across the table to hear each other. The Orange Sherbet Mimosa was good. My biscuits and gravy didn't have much flavor and the sausage patty had a weird texture/taste. The hash brown casserole was good. Shrimp and grits was made with a dark gumbo roux and topped with an egg.
