    If I ever end up needing to pick a last meal, I have that figured out. Had a potato salad which is like usual potato salad but I love usual potato salad. Then I had what I believe to be a half pound of fried crab claws which was the small. After that a half pound burger which was a unique grind of beef mixed with Conecuh sausage. Probably the best burger I've ever had- cooked medium. It's worth the possible consequences. Finally had a pretty large banana pudding. I ate all of it. Plus 3 beers. Damage was around $50 so not bad in my opinion. If ever back in the area, this will definitely be one of my stops.

    I won’t say that I tell everything about a restaurant based on their ranch dressing. But I can tell a lot. And Judy’s has really good ranch dressing. I ordered chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. They were out of mashed potatoes, but to be fair I did come in close to closing time. My waiter was very cordial and friendly and I didn’t even think twice about it. But, I bet their mashed potatoes were good, because everything I ate was delicious. CFC was thick and the batter was perfect and crispy. The cucumber salad has a good flavor and fresh ingredients. I will definitely be returning to Judy’s on my next visit.

    We love this restaurant, so we try to come as much as we can. Our favorite dishes are the chicken and dumplings for lunch on Monday, fried pork chops, and the delicious giant ribeye. The steak salad could have been better but there are still plenty of good options. The sides are delicious and everything has that “homemade” southern taste. Our servers are always nice, especially Marla. Love this place!

    Family friendly atmosphere. Fast paced environment. The patrons were very friendly and excited about eating at Judy's. Our food was good, kid's portions were large. I would have preferred a bone in chicken breast for my meal, but overall the chicken was moist and tender.

    Some of the best food in Mobile. Not a pretentious or stuffy atmosphere. Just kind people serving great food.

    The food is delicious and the service is warm and wonderful. They even went the extra mile to let my husband take a picture with a rare Stevie Ray Vaugh guitar hanging in the restaurant. First timers here but won't be the last Kuddos to Toni and George and Kayla for all the love.

    We had an incredible experience at Judy’s Place Restaurant! The food was absolutely phenomenal — easily the best we’ve had on our trip so far. The atmosphere has that perfect down-home, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at ease. Our server, Janie, was amazing; she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even offered great suggestions since we weren’t from Alabama. The prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. If you’re looking for fantastic food and genuine southern hospitality, Judy’s Place is the spot!

    The grilled red snapper was super. All the food was good and hot. Service was spectacular and Toni and George worked it out so I could hold the Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar that was on display on the wall.
