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.

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 jalapeño 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 jalapeño & 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!!!

A solid bbq joint, it is plain to see why they're on the TM Top 50 list. The brisket is great the ribs are delicious. Since they were out of chicken they talked us into the turkey which I would put up with the top 3 best turkey in the state of TX. They were out of some of their most popular sides and the chickens but were very happy with our experience. The people are great, very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Very impressed, highly recommend, and will gladly return.
