Their portions are enough for at least 3 people. The choices were many and hard to make, but we had perfectly seasoned green lima beans and field peas with snaps, succotash with tomatoes and corn and okra, creamy red beans, and all 3 of us got the mac and cheese. Because who wants to share their mac and cheese? Not this girl! It is so exceptional. Everything was really yummy, but the mac and cheese was the best! The people who work there are all sooo pleasant and friendly. We ate in their dining room, and it was spotless and clean. I kinda wanna keep this a secret (although I've heard they get really busy sometimes), but y'all should really give Mary's a try if you like REAL southern comfort food.

You ever walk into a place and immediately think, "Yep... this is either going to be amazing or I'm…read moreabout to make a terrible decision"? Welcome to Judy's Place. Because this spot is not pretending to be anything. This is full-on, unapologetic dive. And I mean that in the best possible way. You walk in and it's like the '70s, '80s, and a little bit of someone's '90s basement bar all got together and said, "Let's not change a thing." Old banquet-style tables, a bar top that feels like it's hosted a thousand stories, and walls that have clearly seen some things. I loved it immediately. Now let's talk food. The folks next to me were deep into the chicken and dumplings and talking about it like it was a life event. You know that kind of table chatter where you start reconsidering your order mid-bite? Yeah, that. I went shrimp po' boy... and no regrets. Shrimp fried just right. Crispy, flavorful, doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Solid sandwich. The fries... eh, they showed up a little tired. Not terrible, just kind of there. A little cold, a little soggy, like they'd already had a long day. But here's the twist. You don't come to Judy's for perfection. You come for personality. For the feeling that you just discovered a place that doesn't care about trends, doesn't need a remodel, and definitely isn't chasing Instagram. It just is what it is... and somehow that works. Fold this into your expectations. If you need polished, keep driving. If you want real, pull up a chair. It's fun. It's different. It's got character for days. Four stars. And honestly, half the star is just for staying exactly the same all these years.

Nice bright n airy w friendly welcoming staff. Clean restrooms. We had the deviled egg which tasted really good. The soup of the day which was like a gumbo w okra n andouille sausage n cornbread. Tasted good . The southern corn bread tasted a lil dry. Had 2 smashy B's - one w kale salad n one w fried potatoes. They tasted good. And fried catfish w cornbread n fried Brussels sprouts. Fried Car fish is a southern specialty n tasted good n so did the Brussels sprouts which was crispy n good, Tx u for a great lunch.

The sweet tea is the best we've ever had. The pickled shrimp is a classic 'Bama recipe. The Waygu double cheese burger will haunt my dreams with its juicy goodness. The steak & frites were very good.

I told the bartender the price was too high for low drink. She stated "well I only make the drinks not the price". I told her she could take it back. She said she will bring the manager and she never did. My friend told me to keep it and she would pay it. I asked for a straw and bartender didn't bring it quickly, I was headed to go get the straw then she finally came over and gave me a straw. Now the flavor of the cocktail is very good.

A friend recommended a lunch stop at Mama's after a downtown meeting, and I was thrilled to finally give it a real go.

This visit, the fried chicken special was delicious and perfectly executed. I tasted the pork chop and it was great as well. The Mac and cheese and collard greens that I ordered as sides, all tasty. I cleaned my plate. The sweet tea is also just as amazing as I remember from before when I tasted it in the wild. Service from Emily, wonderful as well.

I was looking for a well rated restaurant near our hotel in Mobile that we haven't been to before…read more Dumbwaiter looked like it had great food choices but not so fancy as "fine dining." I'm a sucker for a roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer (which we ordered). The chunks of bacon in it were delightful. My dish was light with 3 perfectly seared scallops and a spinach salad with fruit and a vinaigrette dressing. My husband had a 14 0z. ribeye with roasted asparagus and subbed the potatoes for vegetables. It was all very good. The decor is very hip - a wood meets metal type interior design. Only downside - 1. Steak was a bit gristly for a prime cut. 2. The metal chairs are a bit unforgiving for people with big hips. Only The steak was a bit gristly
