Love! so happy to have a 5 star in Beaumont to report on This place is the perfect BBQ spot, no pretentious interior just great food! and most importantly for this diner has BEEF RIBS!!! thank you 1701!! the best coleslaw and perfect for the richness of the ribs. Potato salad was great and tasted homemade, and the sauce on the tables is takeaway worthy (for sale on site). a little pricey but so worth it. i feel lucky to have been introduced to 1701.

Great and happy staff, they were excited to share their love of bbq with newcomers. The food was delicious, the ribs were fall off the bone, but not too soft! The Mac and cheese was flavorful. Banana pudding is a must have too. Wonderful establishment with lots of fun signage. Clean bathrooms.

As good as it gets. Prices reflect the superior quality of the products they use. Beef from 44 for example. Just superb everything. Highly recommended. and such great conversation with the manager.

I've been wanting to try 1701's BBQ for almost 2 years since we made the move to East Texas. It made Texas Monthly's top 50 and I wanted to compare it to other Texas legends like Louie Mueller's, Black's, Kreuz Market, Smitty's, Truth, and others. My 8 year old and I finally had a chance to make it on a Saturday and I thought it would be packed! We got there around 11:30am and was mildly surprised that there were a few cars, but not a crowd!! There were only two people in front of us so it didn't take long to get to place our order! My 8 year old wanted Brisket, not just any, he told the server he wanted fatty brisket!!! (That's my boy! ) I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich, and he stacked on the brisket!!! I then told him I wanted to order BBQ to go also, but we were going to eat inside. So I ordered 1lb. of fatty brisket, 1lb. of Pulled pork, 1lb. of Smoked Turkey, and one Beef Dinosaur Rib! They also had a special going on, 1/2 of a smoked chicken for 6! Yeah, go ahead and throw that in there with the Turkey!!! Next we moved down the line a little to get our sides. I knew what the 8 year old wanted, he had been eyeing the Mac and Cheese ever since they had laid two big slices of brisket on his tray! They also gave him one of their strawberry shortcakes! I moved over and ordered their Jalapeno Potato Salad and a side of the Mac and Cheese myself!!! We ordered Sweet Tea for our drinks. Then we had a seat at one of the inside tables. The young lady working the register helped us move our food to the table! I must say everyone here was very welcoming once you entered the door and very friendly and helpful!!! Once you pay there is a place in the corner across from the register to get forks, knives, and spoons. There is a small table right across that has condiments and napkins you can get for your table. There is a bottle of 1701 BBQ Sauce already at your table also! The inside has a very nice ambience and there are some shelves to the right as you walk in that has T-shirts, Sauces, and other items for sale! There are big blackboards behind the serving counter that list what they are serving and I think I heard the price shows per half pound on the prices. To the left of it behind the young lady serving sides is another Blackboard that lists the sides and desserts on it! My 8 year old didn't waste any time tearing into his sliced brisket! He loved the Mac and Cheese! It had a wonderful flavor and was made from a combination of two cheeses! My sliced brisket sandwich was piled high with plenty of meat and it was so delicious!!! I've been dying to try their Jalapeno Potato Salad ever since I heard that they made theirs that way!!! It was really delicious with just a hint of Jalapenos in it! It wasn't overbearing even for someone that might be skittish about it being too hot! It wasn't hot at all just really flavorful! I want to say if your curious and haven't tried it yet, they can hold their own against any of the central Texas outfits!!! The brisket had a really nice smoke ring and flavorful bark on it, it was really good!!! The brisket was moist and cooked to perfection! It wasn't dry and it pulled apart like it should, not overly so. Before we left, business had started picking up a little after 12:30. And it is good enough they are usually sold out by 2:00Pm! You won't go wrong making this a stop for some really great BBQ. We will definitely be back.

Our first time here. I grew up in the Texas Hill Country. This is the bbq I remember having there

1701 catered my rehearsal dinner my. I am located in Lake Charles, Louisiana they had the option to deliver, and on the night of it was delivered promptly. Everything was warmed and ready to go. It was all delicious, but the beef ribs are what people raved about the most, If you’re trying to make a decision. Sides were awesome too. I ordered less potato salad because usually potato salad is hit or miss but that was some of the best potato salad I’ve ever had in my life. 12/10 Experience with these guys. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Came here for lunch and I can confidently say as of now this is my favorite bbq in the Beaumont port author area. The staff was nice and the food was good. They have a nice shop that smells great as soon as you walk in. My favorite part was the jalapeno sausage. Had great flavor and a good snap.

Had this place on my list for quite some time...and they did not disappointed. I arrived at 1701 Barbecue just before 11am and wandered around to the smokers and chatted with some of the pit crew. There’s a lot to choose from here and the carver was great help...they had Beef Ribs “on sale” so I had to grab one of them, a jalapeno & cheddar link, and I was convinced to try one of their lean brisket sandwiches. I rarely order lean brisket, normally too dry and little flavor but was blown away by this great piece of smoked meat. The sandwich...delicious and I really love their BBQ sauce. The beef rib was solid and the crust was a perfect complement to the moist meat of the rib. I don’t see loose grind sausage very often, and this sausage was solid with some extra kick to it. I’ll be having a sausage and beef rib breakfast sandwich tomorrow. The service here is extremely friendly and I enjoyed talking to the Manager Travis, plus he gave me a new place to go scope out. It’s no wonder this place is a Texas Top 50!!!
