1701 Barbecue - Beaumont

Pitmaster Travis was one of the nicest people we have encountered in our quest to visit all of the Texas Monthly top 50 BBQ joints. Brisket was done to perfection and we got to try one of their newer desserts, a strawberry cake that was perhaps thebest cake we have tried.

Been to 27 of the top Texas Monthly Top 50. One bite of the brisket and I knew I found gold. Even better, brisket, pork ribs and jalapeno/cheese sausage are all exemplary. Add in the potato salad and slaw? Murderer's row. Simply fantastic. Oh, andthe sauce is great but there is absolutely no need for it on this BBQ.

The food was as good as expected. I'd waited a while before going back and the wait was met with some really awesome BBQ! There are a couple of dishes that I think the could be improved upon, being the the baked beans, and the slaw; the slaw being theworst, IMHO. Other than those, everything else I've had from there is top notch.

Great brisket in the Beaumont Texas area. The selection of bbq meats is good. The street corns salad and coleslaw I got as sides were well prepared and tasty.Service was good.Didn’t have a problem finding a parking spot.The dinning room is good size but during lunch time when I came in it was almost completely full.Overall great lunch experience and worth a try
