This spot was such a delight! The young man at the counter that served us was upbeat and happy to help! He's a star. The menu was reasonable and the food very tasty! read more

This is a "joint"! Simple, but great food and great service! My son and I visited here from Seattle and wanted to go to a place where the locals go. This is it! read more

What a great place!!! Dropped kid at UMaine and exploring the area for future visits. Will hit Judy's every time we're uo there. Great food, incredible atmosphere and mimosa's!!!! Oh and everyone working there rocked! read more

Found this on Yelp while searching for a breakfast place close to the airport & Stephen King's house. We were limited on time so called ahead to ask about the wait. We were told it wasn't bad at the moment so headed over there. We were seated quickly & the food came out fast. It was wonderful & the service was very friendly. We recommend the eggs (scrambled & over easy), bacon, sausage, omelet, biscuits & blueberry pancakes. The biscuits were the best we've ever had! This is a small place & looks unimpressive from the outside, but oh what a surprise when you go in & taste the awesome food! read more

6:30 am with the bar adjacent to our booth , I could have ordered drinks with my breakfast . After being on the road for 2 hours at 46 Degrees on my motorcycle, we ventured up to Bangor Maine for breakfast . Fast service ! Great cup of coffee and it's reasonable for a budget conscious guy like me especially when I am on the road . read more

Judy's - As you can see it was delicious ! Just picture 2 sunny side eggs , kielbasa , sausage gravy and and English muffins toasted on the grill ! - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

This is my second venture to Judy's for breakfast and bloodys after a night of excessive drinking and waking up with a desert for a tongue and headache that feels like no amount of acetaminophen could repair. After more than 45 minutes of searching for a brunch place that serves alcohol, it appears that Judy's is the only place where you can sooth your sorrows with an alcoholic beverage of your choosing between the hours of 9 am and 11 am on Saturday. +1 star for that alone! Bangor needs get their crap together and start serving the needs of the people! One small drink for man and one large drink for mankind!! read more

I was in Maine for a road trip with my friends. I am actually from New York so it was very different from what I am used to see. It's a great place family restaurant to grab some brunch. Since it's family owned restaurant as always food was outstanding. I had steak omelette which was delicious just mind blowing. Price wise it was super cheap. I was so surprised by the price of the food.. read more

I love this spot. It's the greasy spoon your craving! They also have a full bar and no judgments

Yuck! We were visiting Bangor for a concert during the week and this is the place we ended up for breakfast. We eat all organic/cagefree/pasture raised etc etc at home but we loooovvve a greasy spoon diner. This place was recommended for us to visit for breakfast. The woman and the hotel gave us a few different place and then said "if you want to drive a little bit, Judy's has the BEST food". Emphasis on BESSST. I should've known better than to take advice from someone carrying a ramen noodle soup package at 10 pm. Here was an overwhelming smell of lemony Lysol/chemical smell upon entering. This threw me off immediately. How can I eat he BEST food while smelling chemicals?! Our server came over and we could barely understand her. We placed our order and she brought me over some gross coffee. It wasn't old, didn't smell weird or anything just was the worst brew I've had in a while. My big plate of food came out with my husbands omelet and sausages. The sausages must've came out of a deep freezer section of the grocery store, my scrambled eggs were burnt, my pancake was heavy and dense, they only had American cheese for the omelet (American cheese isn't even cheese, get some cheddar at least people!), my homefries were oily and if my dog were there I wouldn't have even given him my bacon. This is not the BEST! I ate the biscuit that came with it and my ten month old pushed everything away or just spit it out. We were super disappointed with this place. How could it have so many positive reviews. Go to McDonald's! Cofefe read more

Judy's - The "BEST" - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

I took my wife and son there for a nice breakfast at around 8:30am. We didn't really care for the food, that was the first time my son didn't like pancakes, they were dense and heavy. What was really annoying though was the fact there were drunks at the bar still drinking. They were loud and obnoxious. So if you want a bar atmosphere for breakfast, go here. If you want a family friendly atmosphere, definitely go somewhere else. read more

They have some great breakfast! Large portions and fast service! They put up plastic between each table. It's warm inside and I wish they had ac. read more

Judy's - Breakfast diner - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

Don't waste your time. We waited over an hour for some eggs and toast. Poor service and ok food. Go somewhere else instead

This place is your classic diner-y breakfast joint. It has a small bar. At Sunday brunch, the menu offers the same items in numerous combinations, but they probably have what you came for. Food was par for the course. Service was noticeably slow, and certainly don't expect polish. I'd give 3.5 stars (mostly because it was slow and otherwise unimpressive), but I'll round up to 4 since it's a nice local business. Oh, and it's pretty cheap. read more

People who know Bangor, and know Judy's, may think I'm crazy. Judy's has a reputation for being the breakfast spot most likely to get you knifed. Also a bar, the night crowd that patronizes this establishment is colorful in the scariest sense of the word. But the mid-morning weekend crowd is harmless, and the lore adds to the charm. After a rainy morning of unsuccessful yard saling, my husband and I decided to finally give Judy's a shot. The interior is dark and a little intimidating, but quickly becomes cozy. Our waitress was kind and efficient without seeming fake. The kitchen staff, visible from the sitting area, were a surly bunch, but they quickly whipped up one of the best breakfasts you'll find in Bangor. I filled up on one of Judy's famous omelettes, hash browns, toast and coffee. My husband had eggs, toast, bacon, and a muffin. All first-rate and free of pretension. Admittedly, Judy's isn't for everyone. If you're comfortable with some color in exchange for a solid and satisfying breakfast experience, you will find it at Judy's. read more

First impression: divey bar that smelled like cigarettes. At first I thought I made a mistake coming in here. Ambience was a little sketch, and the clientele were all single males who looked like construction workers. But I didn't want to be rude, and sat down anyway. Nice lady came over (I'm assuming is Judy?) and took my order, told me about the breakfast special which was an omelette filled with sausage and cheese, plus coffee and toast. I upgraded my toast to french and my order came out in about 5 minutes. I would have to say, the breakfast was delicious. Nothing fancy, just tasted like good ol' home cooking. Will most likely be back. Maybe with a bodyguard. read more

The breakfast is decent. Kind of hit or miss. Really just chose this place because it's a "Bangor Landmark" and centrally located by downtown. Service is ok. Going for breakfast? Try the "Joe's Pile" read more

Great greasy spoon for a classic breakfast on the cheap. Filled with locals, including regulars who walk in and help themselves to coffee. I got the house special (as advertised on a ten foot sign on the side of the building): Two eggs, home fries, bacon, toast, and coffee. Everything was really good. I recommend it if you're looking for more than just a donut for breakfast, and if you're not afraid of mustaches and NASCAR shirts. read more

Judy's - The house special - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

This is a pretty solid breakfast joint. They have mediocre Bloody Marys but the mimosas are served in a pint glass with a straw so there's some novelty to that.. read: double sized. Tip: They have Tabasco sauce behind the bar for the Bloody Mary; combine that with some salt and pepper and it'll do wonders read more

Great hole in the wall restaurant. Had breakfast Very fresh. Cook to order. Must try if you are passing through. read more

What a nice little joint we happened upon while in Bangor. First we caught the place at a bad time. The service was really slow, but honestly the charm of the employees really made up for it. They knew it was gonna be a while and they apologized over and over about it. They were very nice and really treated us well. From the outside it looks like a little townie bar. You'd be right, they have a full bar but they also happen to serve awesome breakfast as well hah. We all just got your basic breakfasts and we were all very satisfied with our meals. Nice charming breakfast joint. Worth the stop in read more

Love the atmosphere a local place with lots of hometown feel. We had really strong Mimosas and Bloody mary for a very good price. The eggs Benedict special was perfect. The staff was friendly and busy, it is a place you come to get food cooked fresh not quick. Highly recommend Judy's for some great food and friendly service. read more

Hands down best breakfast in all of Bangor!! Try the hash, or Joe's pile. To die for. Also everything is cooked perfectly, staff is friendly, and it is a fun place to start the day! read more

You can have it fast, you can have it cheap, or you can have it done well, but you can't have all three. Judy nails two out of three, and boy is it worth the wait. The home made corn beef hash is out of this world, the home fries are nice and flavor, and the English muffins are toasted to perfection. It's a local hangout, and I can see why. All the regulars were super friendly (a group of guys even let us sit before them, which was super sweet of them) and chatted with us while we waited. Yes, the service can be slow (it's one cook with one little grill), but again, for the price and quality it's well worth the wait! read more

Great breakfast and service. Just what we were looking for, along with local ambiance.

I hate writing bad reviews but this place was extremely bad . Took 20 minutes before I was greet it , and another 20 to get service . They hardly even acknowledge me. But then again they probably never seen a Hispanic family . read more

We stopped in on Friday for a quick brunch. Immediately loved the cozy, authentic atmosphere. The Bloody Mary's were delicious - simple, the way they should be. We had egg sandwiches and home fries. Everything was very tasty. read more

Mistake. Raw eggs in the omelet. Karaoke machine cranked up at 830 on a Sunday morning. I wouldn't visit again.

Best breakfast in Bangor. It is definitely a dive bar, diner feel but the food is fantastic and the employees all make you feel at home.

The food was great. We were seated quickly but getting the food took a while. The waiters were super friendly and the ambience was nice.

The breakfast was really good. Eggs cooked perfect, English muffins crispy not soaked in butter, best corn beef hash, SOS was a great change for a breakfast idea and the hash browns tasty. I did not feel that I just ate a greasy heavy meal. Our waitress was efficient and friendly. Atmosphere was a bar/diner with a hint of musty smell but worth the visit and will go back. read more

first the waitress was as sassy as a new englander could be and it was exactly what the Toot needed. Honestly I don't even remember what I ate eggs a meat and potatoes probably bread--it was good? most likely but the atmosphere and company were what Judy's has. it was a welcome stop after driving all night on our way to Katahdin-- we also ditched lil' toot on the side of the street and road around the block several times before we stopped to let him back on-- read more

Was camping in Eddington and usually go to the eagles nest which we love but the waitress hadn't shown up yet and they weren't open. Found Judys on yelp and decided to try. 4 of us had from steak and eggs to pancakes to ham and eggs with biscuits everything was delicious. Small and you can tell the locals go there. We will be going back again read more

This is definitely a local place that I'm sure is good most of the time but not for us. It was packed so I expected to wait which I didn't mind. After waiting 45 min for our food we asked and then we finally got it. Unfortunately my pancake was uncooked in the middle. My husbands breakfast was good. They only have 2 servers who were working as fast as they could. Too many people with too few servers resulted in poor experience for us. They were kind to not charge for the pancake. read more

Went to Judy's on a Saturday morning and should have walked away just from looking at the building. Could not understand our waitress and waited over an hour for our meals. This place claims to have the "best hash browns", had to dunk them in ketchup to make them taste reasonable. read more

Hands down best hash ever! Was a little hesitant pulling up to the spot and even after walking in, but after a few minutes we decided we loved this place. If we are anywhere in the state of Maine again we will make the trip to have breakfast here! read more
