Food was good as usual, but someone by the name of Shane Thompson works there. I unfortunately know him from outside Judy's and he doesn't like me for personal reason's. I wasn't done eating and he comes to my table and asks if I was done. I said, "no just leave it alone." He told me not to be an a-hole. He proceeded to take my plate off the table when I wasn't done with my breakfast. I cashed out and on my way out he gave me a threatening look and called him an a-hole low enough for him to here. I Ieft and he came flying out the door yelled at the top of his lungs as other guests were walking out some choice words and threatened if I came back he was going to throw me out. I called and spoke to my server and told her what happened and she said that she was going to talk to him and said she would comp my next breakfast. I WILL be notifying the owner. read more

Nice & cozy. Full of local flavor. Food is always wonderful. Staff is friendly. From the waitress to the cook and even the dishwasher.....kind and welcoming. read more

Let's be clear first that this is a 4 of 5* review for a greasy spoon diner. This is NOT a 4 of 5* breakfast place considering all breakfast restaurants. The food is fast. The creativity is nil. The mimosas are very large and served in a BudLight pint glass. If you aren't ready to order the second of the server comes by, you might get service with a snarl. Yes, it is service nonetheless, but the energy changed as soon as we asked for more time to look at the drinks. The good news is that all of this is okay. This is a greasy spoon diner. Nobody should be expecting Earth beating, creative, thoughtful, intentional customer service interactions. This is a utilitarian place. And if that's what you're looking for, then come on in! read more

It's a real hole in the wall..but the food is fast and cheap, the service is friendly, and the characters who drink (full liquor bar at like 8am), and dine there are super colorful and make the visit worth it. The food is standard greasy spoon fare, but it's familiar, dependable, and hits the spot after a night of overindulgence. I'm a total food snob, and normally I tend to pass places like this up after I've tried them once...but there's something about Judy's that keeps sucking me back in. I like it. It's grown on me. It just feels like I'm supposed to eat there. read more

I absolutely LOVE "tripping" upon family owned businesses that know the value of services at a reasonable price. My breakfast was outstanding, the service could not have been better. Highly recommended. God Bless! read more

Solid middle of the road diner fare. Can't say that I was wowed, but it was breakfast and we ate it.

Great little spot with very friendly staff. While traveling I love to find non-chain spots and when in town I would recommend them. read more

A cute hole in the wall. The restaurant is small, but the service is wonderful. I am pretty sure we were greated by every staff member here. We seated ourself, one person brought drinks and another came over to take order. The cook brought out food. Mexican omelet was so good. Excellent service will definitely come back one day read more

Great breakfast at a great price. Service is what you expect from a good locally owned diner. Glad we finally were able to stop on our way out of Bangor after 3 days of day trips to Acadia read more

Nice and tasty breakfast. I am happy that I had options to customize a little by adding veggies and some berries. Very nice staff.

If I lived in Bangor, I would definitely become a regular at Judy's. I was so happy to have found it. It felt like I took a step back in time when you could get a great breakfast, that was done just the way I wanted it, and so reasonably priced. Everyone there was so nice that they seemed like friends already. I didn't want to leave! Shout out to Mike and Jen for the great service and making us feel so welcome. We had to leave Trenton a couple days early to head back to Florida to board up the house before Hurricane Milton was to make landfall. read more

Great little stop for breakfast on our way to the border. Everyone was very friendly and the food was great, with good-sized portions. DO NOT PASS on the biscuits, the best I've ever had! read more

Yum! We both had Judy's House Special. One with bacon and the other with sausage. Eggs were cooked perfect and everything was delicious. It is like going to your grandparents for breakfast! read more

Judy's - Judy's House Special - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

We love local places and this was one. Crowded with people eating breakfast and/or drinking at 10AM on a Sunday morning. Reasonable prices, good food and friendly atmosphere. **Note-we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott last night. For almost $300 for two adults, few amenities and the only breakfast available was an on site Starbucks. We would not stay there again. Nearby Hilton Garden Inn had a great bar and food menu. read more

Wow. I don't even know where to begin. I can, hands down, say this is the worst breakfast restaurant I've ever been to. Possibly worst food establishment, period. It's a small place, very basic menu. None of which is a bad thing, and in fact can be a good thing; but first thing you walk into is everyone drinking beers at 9 AM on a Monday; talking trash and swearing a lot, and because it's a small place you can hear every word. Some random guy drinking beer showed us our seat and brought our silverware. That immediately should have been my clue to turn around. Before even having a chance to sit down and pick the menu up, the waitress comes over asking if we know what we want. We weren't ready and she just walked off. Grunting. She had no patience, at all, as when she did come back (about 30 seconds later) I said I'd just start with a water, which had a metallic taste to it. Apparently they aren't use to people who aren't from around and expect you to be a regular who knows immediately what you want before walking in. After having a chance to check the menu out, I ordered hash and eggs, toast, potatoes and a chocolate chip pancakes. While I waited, more people came in to drink alcohol, and they all kept randomly walking into the back of the bar and kitchen with packs of cigarettes. Which is a health code violation. The food came out quickly. Which again, isn't a bad thing, but once I saw what was brought I saw why it was so quick. The eggs were barley cooked. The yolk and whites runny. The toast was wet, and not because of the butter. The potatoes were so bland and lifeless, clearly just from a frozen bag. And the hash. Oh, the hash. It was beyond disgusting. Clearly just dumped out of a can. And barley warmed up. I couldn't get the taste of it out of my mouth for hours. The only saving grace was the pancakes. Not because it was good (it wasn't) but because it was loaded with chocolate chips. Covering up the blandness of the rest of the pancake itself. I'm not looking for or expecting a 5 star experience. I love ma and pa places. I like a little diner with a basic menu; but this was a terrible experience all around. There is nothing about this place at all I can recommend. The food, service, ambiance, all some of the worst I've ever experienced. It's disgusting in every sense of the word. If you're looking for a place to get so drunk at 6 in the morning so you'll find a way to enjoy this food and walk around anywhere you please with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth, this is your spot. For all others, run. Run as fast as you can in any other directions. Heck! There's a Subway across the street I'm SURE does a better breakfast, and that's saying a lot! Please, do yourself and everyone else a favor, never go here. read more

Well, I can't say that I've ever eaten breakfast at a bar before--but I highly recommend it if it's Judy's. Very friendly fast service with hot basic food. I had "Judy's Special"--two eggs, hash browns, sausages and a small tasty biscuit. I loved the diner-feel with all the local regulars. I sat eating at the bar because it was busy. Just as I was finishing my satisfying breakfast, the song "I Love This Bar" came on. I carried the smile it brought right out the door! read more

Prices are incredible and the food is great too! Judy's was packed when we went in so we got a seat at the bar. All of the staff was friendly even though it was busy. The prices are insanely good. My 3 slices of French toast were only 5.50! The french toast was super good. My Dad got the Early Bird which is eggs, bacon, and a biscuit (also only 5.50!) The bacon was very crispy and the biscuit and eggs were good too. Not only is Judy's a fantastic breakfast spot, it is fantastic for day drinking! At 8 am we watched them prepare many beers and other drinks and they looked like the could pack a punch. If your looking for a bar that opens early (and also closes at 1pm most days) Judy's is your spot! It was pretty nice in there although somewhat dated, and it smelled like bacon! So who could complain. Overall I highly recommend Judy's it's 10/10 and i'm sad I live 3 hours away. read more

Potatoes were soggy and greasy. The best part of the breakfast was just mediocre. The waitress was pretty rude, and was not interested in being asked for any suggestions or recommendations for someone who had never been to Judy's. Had a good beer which made the experience tolerable. read more

Judy's is the real deal. We're in the midst of a 10 day road trip and stopped for breakfast after camping for three days and it was such a treat. They staff is so friendly and it's full of locals. We ate eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, biscuits, a chocolate chip pancake and a blueberry muffin that were all delicious! The muffin was served cut in half, toasted with butter! It was amazing. I was anticipating a cold muffin wrapped in plastic wrap. Loved it here! Will be thinking of Judy's for a long time. read more

My girlfriend and I were seated right away when we entered, ordered a Judy special which is just 2 eggs, sausage, home fries, and toast of your choice. If you like biscuits, get them, they are the best things I've ever had. Overall, it was a great experience, there were super friendly locals and nice waitresses.

Bangor is dying for breakfast spots. I've been here twice now. Both times, I was seated immediately and served quickly. They serve bfast and lunch all day. Breakfast was Judy's house special (eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast) which came out quickly. Service is fast, but minimal. One server for the entire place. Today, she was good but had a mouthful of cotton? No joke. I think she had oral surgery recently. Whatever. You know what to expect. read more

Great little restaurant. The food was average- good but the service was excellent. No where have I gone to breakfast where our coffee was literally asked to be filled 3 times! They're right on it. I think this is a great drinking hole from observation only. I do not drink any alcohol, just don't have the enzymes to metabolize it. I get dizzy and a headache just after 2 sips of red wine! Cheap date lol, sorry I'm attached! Definitely will come back to support local eateries! read more

Great food! Waiter drinking beer and the bar is always open even at 1030 am. Not a good environment at all!!!

Dive. Breakfast & lunch. Great coffee and food came fast. Takes cash & credit. We will be back again tomorrow!

Great place for an affordable breakfast. We ordered the Judy's House Special which was 2 eggs, home fries, your choice of bacon or sausage, toast, and coffee for $7.75. Everything was delicious and the owners were so nice. The service was great too. read more

Judy's - What a great place for breakfast! Had the Judy's House Special breakfast which was well priced and delicious! - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

How does this place get a good rating? Home fries way too greasy- I sent mine straight back. The sausage and gravy was saltier than country ham. Nice enough waitress even though she just defended the food. I know what tastes good and this is NOT it! read more

You must eat here, the food is awesome - great basic breakfast food that feels like it was cooked at your grandmother's house. What makes it special is the staff and the locals - salt of the earth - you will feel the way a community should feel. read more

This place doesn't look like much on the outside but looks are deceiving! It was a local atmosphere and very friendly staff... the breakfast food was very good!! I think this is family owned business and it is great to see this kind of business booming! We walked in and it was packed but don't have to wait! It is okay to park on the side street! read more

Awesome place food was delicious! Local favorite where everyone knew each other. A must

Tried clicking on zero stars, but there isn't that option! Would love to tell y'all the food was great and the atmosphere a quaint greasy spoon...Not today. We didn't make it that far. Once my wife and I selected based on Yelp community, we set the GPS and made our way to Judy's or should I say "Rudeee's". Place looked busy, but not near at capacity. We walked in and were confronted by a very hostile lady proclaimung "we are really busy in here!" with a notion we should leave. So we took our tourist dollars elsewhere to The Governor's for a much more pleasant experience. BTW this is the only negative review I have ever written. read more

This place was so much fun. As others have stated this is a local hangout, and wow did these patrons look as if they had come from central casting. And, the Bloody Mary was quite good and the country fried steak was just excellent. read more

Small breakfast place. Good service and good food. Serves lunch. Has a full bar. Quiet

Local spot. Perfect for our breakfast needs. We were unaware we could park on dirt lot across the street but got lucky to get a street spot along the area. Breakfast was hot, delicious and served quickly. The servers were attentive and kept my cup of joe topped off. A win. This place has a a bar & liquor, and a jukebox on the wall. It's small & homey with a no nonsense attitude. I like that. While eating we observed many locals coming in & chatting with each other, obv this place is a local hangout. Also where else can you order a full breakfast & a cold brewski at 10am. Clean tables, floor & bathroom. Well organized kitchen. Met the chef as he stepped out yo chat with locals as well. Casual atmosphere & we felt welcome. The locals were there when we arrived and were settled in as we left... it looked like they weren't planning to leave anytime soon. Recommend for good food & local flair. read more

Very good simple breakfast. Would definitely recommend . Eggs, cooked to perfection. Even had a Bloody Mary, very good Bloody Mary.

Surprisingly good, basic breakfast served in an environment which appeared to have little concern for Covid. We were greeted by the hostess as she sat outdoors and blew cigarette smoke into the air as we approached, her mask below her nose and mouth. read more
