J. Wilson’s has really upped their brunch game! Every dish was beautiful and delicious!
My mom and I came here for dinner during Lawrence Restaurant Week and had an excellent experience! Each dish had excellent flavor and presentation and the staff were very attentive. This was an amazing first impression at J. Wilson’s!
Solid dinning experience, simple menu with daily specialties. Love locally owned restaurants.
Perfect spot for dinner; the food was truly amazing and very affordable for as nice as this place is. The truffle fries were tops! Our server was Elijah and he was a total pro. It was also a relatively quiet restaurant, making it pleasant to have good conversation even when the restaurant was busy. Will become a regular!
And we love this place! I especially love that they have yummy mocktails! Nearby steak and salmon were perfectly cooked.Everything was so good.The tiramisu dessert is absolutely amazing! We came here the night before valentine's day!
Hand down has to be my favorite restaurant in Beaumont! The bar is unmatched when it comes to whiskey options. The food is so good it’s like you don’t know how good it is then you take a bite and it slaps you in the face. Different specials on different days a friendly fun staff they will turn you into a food fanatic if you already aren’t one! Highly recommended you will thank me later if you’ve never been!
The food here is delicious - the J. Wilson's of beignets are delicious and fluffy. If you are a fan of deviled eggs, you must try theirs! I've been to brunch here twice with family and I've enjoyed both visits. The fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is delicious. If you do not prefer lavender, I would avoid the iced coffee. I liked it but my husband switched over to black coffee and I had his iced coffee. As silly as this sounds, I would LOVE hooks installed within the stalls of the ladies restroom. There is not a good option to hang/place your purse unless you choose to leave it at your table. A word to the wise, if you plan to dine with them on a holiday - get a reservation. It was pure luck to manage to squeeze in on Valentine's Day morning for a party of 3.
Really great. We sat at the bar and had the pasta alla vodka and the steak frites, some cocktails and wine. For dessert we had the coffee cake. The food here is really delicious.
WOW!! First time guest visiting from out of town. It was close to my hotel so I decided to give it a try, and I am very glad I did. The food was superb! I ordered the crab cakes and the fried pork chop (comes with mashed sweet potatoes, collard greens, and spiced apples/onions). It was delectable. Best meal I have had in a long time. The service was wonderful too - Elijah was friendly and professional, as was the hostess, Masa. The atmosphere is lovely - great place for a date night or business dinner. It feels high end without being pretentious. I will absolutely come back!
Very nice Sunday brunch! Service was excellent- very friendly and attentive. We made reservations the night before, and we were seated right away. Great menu— so many good options to choose from. Deviled eggs are a great starter. Everyone’s meal was delicious and I’m sure we’ll be back!
