Menu is standard greasy spoon diner fare, but executed perfectly with good portions big enough to fill but not so big as to stuff one like a turkey. I very much enjoyed my Corned Beef Hash, but salivated over the beautiful Biscuits and Gravy that others ordered. Service was quick and friendly without hovering or sucking up. Clearly a lot of regular customers--people walking up were welcomed by first names by the waitresses. I'll definitely be back.

Man I love diners and I am so easy to please. I don't complain about really anything in life (just…read moreask my family and friends) but sometimes I have to nitpick when I see something that could use some improvement. Came here Sunday May 3rd around 1pm. Was busy but not completely full where you had to wait for a table. We sat down and waited for our server to take our order. It took our server about 20 mins to come over and take our order. So we put in our food order when the server came by to take our drink order. Food took about 40 mins from when we ordered to when we got our food. I used to work in restaurants (the busiest of restaurants) and know that you should staff more, prep more, and place larger food orders in anticipation of being fully booked friday night till sunday night. I ordered gumbo. My niece got biscuits and gravy. The gumbo was pretty good except would have liked the roux a little thicker. The gravy on the biscuits was lacking in flavor. I love diners and love supporting locally owned businesses. Maybe some staff called off this particular day because the service was slow. But I wil be back.

The service is always great considering how busy it gets especially around noon. Food is…read moredecent,portions good.

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.

You'll have to do your own digging to on that, but I do know that DDI is a nice slice of Mobile history with their iconic red weenies (that are life changing somehow when eaten after being wrapped in foil and stored in a cooler on a hot day?! I don't make the local gossip-- I just report it.), cheeseburgers, and the oldest of old time diner vibes. I can vouch for the cheeseburger and onion rings being quite tasty, and the hubs loved his pork chop also. The locals have it, and are stopping in faithfully to keep this charming spot in business. Cheers!

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.
