Food,service with a smile, classic southern homestyle cooking is a typical starter. This place is a spot that I drove by many times. It sits between a car lot and a bridge. You gotta look for the old school sign. If you pass the correct entrance, you can drive to the back and circle around the fence. Once you get in the door. Sit yourself and someone with a nice smile and southern manners will help you with your gastronomic needs. The surprise is the pebble ice that I love, yes I'm wierd. They have daily specials which come with lots of sides to get down the main spotlight. I drank water so I can not comment on the iced tea. It could be brown kool-aid or a minor color pack candidate. Its your duty to find out. After you stomach is about to explode, waddle up to the register and pay for your discomfort. read more

It's more of a diner I would say than a restaurant. If you go in with that in mind, the food is really good. The service is excellent and the staff is super friendly and efficient. They took a mean, bacon, burger, and have plenty of other offerings. It's an old restaurant, but kept very clean. read more

Great local restaurant. Service was fast & friendly. They accept credit, and cash only on the lunch specials. We ordered a couple cheeseburgers, fries, fish & chips meal (fish was flounder, not cod as listed on the menu) and a chicken tenders kids meal. Food was good, and prices were fair, $38 for all. Will def come back to check out breakfast. read more

The food was amazing and filled me before I got halfway done eating. The service was beyond amazing! And a worker named Joe made it an even better outing singing and everyone there was smiling and loving their time.. Thank you Jud's read more

Great place for a quick breakfast lunch or dinner. They have good burgers, and they serve Pepsi, the best soda. The waitress was quick, the inside was a little out dated but clean. It does have a tight dining area. read more

Good food friendly service and clean. Health department rating is 98.5. I would recommend this restaurant.

I was visiting my family while in Monroe we had breakfast there. I was very disappointed the restaurant wouldn't serve an elderly Mexican couple. The couple was there when we walked in and when we were leaving the couple was still there. They were confused as to why they hadn't received their food. I regret not helping the couple. I was very guy disappointed at the prejudice read more

Very good service and food, and it gives you this small-town vibe which I really enjoy and the food is a good price

Stopped in for the first time for lunch with my daughter and her toddler. It's going to be a big no for me. My fried fish sandwich and turnip greens were ok - nothing to write home about. We were seated in the back and our waitress never came by for refills or anything. As a matter of fact, I finally took our see-through empty glasses to the front and asked for refills. read more

I take customers here a couple times a month. Been doing this for some time. BUT NO MORE. My wife took her brother and niece today for his birthday. She saw that they had chicken and dumplings for the special today. So she ordered them. The waitress told her that they were out. Ok. So she order something else. 5 minutes later a REGULAR came in and ordered chicken and dumplings, and got a plate full. What the HELL? I don't care who that person was,or thought they were that is a bunch of crap. No more money from me or my company. Am I pissed?.. Ya dang skippy read more

Jud's is a plain, modest, homestyle restaurant. There is a good amount of seating inside. Definitely a family restaurant with very friendly servers. The portion sizes are larger than normal, so much so I couldn't finish my meal. The special of the day was country style steak and it came with three sides. I chose a side salad with mac-n-cheese and greens. The food was quite flavorful as you would expect from a good country restaurant. The prices here are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The service was unbelievably quick-I received my food within five minutes of ordering. One of the country staples in the Monroe area, according to the locals. read more

Jud's Restaurant - Country style steak, mac & cheese, and collard greens - American Near Me - Monroe, North Carolina

Won't go back to such a crowded, mediocre place. Nothing outstanding to report! Was relieved to walk out for some fresh air!

Breakfast at 1pm on Saturday afternoon. Busy, as you can imagine, but worth the wait. Good stuff!

We have eaten here quite a few times. Always pick-up. Staff are super friendly. Food is great and great portioned size. The only thing I would say could improve this food is more side options. They are great in giving three sides with the meals but I find the only thing I have enjoyed is the mashed potato and gravy. Pricing is excellent. We will not stop eating here anytime soon!!! read more

Jud's is always consistently good. Breakfast is good and reasonably priced. Wait staff is awesome and I don't mind tipping accordingly!

This place is a true hidden treasure for eating dinner or supper. I have not had there breakfast but I am sure it's is great. By far the best fried chicken we have ever wrapped our lips around. With there true southern hospitality this place is absolutely Wonderful.I personally score it at 5 stars.. read more

Jud's is a modest, unassuming restaurant that offers standard Southern fare without any bells or whistles. The almost-diner-style restaurant's only bell or whistle is its daily lunch special that offers up to 3 sides of your liking with, of course, the meat of the day... all for a very decent price (~$6 more or less). Located literally on 74, Jud's sits right past an overpass and merging traffic lane, making it easy to overlook for first-timers; however, once one pulls in, ample extra parking is available at the back of the establishment. Ultimately, Jud's is a Monroe staple and has been serving residents consistently satisfying food for many years. Its long-running success is not a surprise to anyone. Rating specifics (i.e. 1-5, low-high)... - Overall recommendation = 3 - Food taste and quality = 2.25 - Portion size = 4 - Price = 4 (check for specials!) - Atmosphere = 2 - General service = 3.5 - Waitstaff = 3 - Location = 2.25 read more

Came here the other night and was sorely disappointed. The girls that work here were great and took care of us. The food was deplorable. Mashed potatoes and gravy were probably the worst I've ever had. Mac and cheese was so dry and over cooked, you have to sip your water between bites. The only good thing about my meal was the ranch. My son seemed to enjoy his BLT. The rolls, they served, were straight from a package to the table. read more

Juds has been in Monroe since the 50's. It is an affordable vegetable plate kind of place. They have very good fried chicken on Sundays and do a large lunch crowd. We also love their Macaroni and Cheese. Very good! read more
