To say this food was cooked with love and every bit of the best seasonings would be an understatement - it all tasted great and was an ultra 10 out of 5!! The locals obviously knew it well as they were lined up waiting for some of all this lil gem had to offer. The menu was a bit confusing but once we figured it out we got an oxtail meal that was the star, a baked chicken dinner and a macaroni and cheese plate with double Mac and cheese and a side of cheese dressing. There are daily specials and meals come with sweet tea. Any other drinks like lemonade or kool aid come at a up charge of $1.99. You place your order first then grab a table to eat or take to go. Just go experience this slice of heaven on earth if in the vicinity, both your stomach and wallet will thank you after the fact.

My visit to the restaurant was like all others. The staff person behind takes my order and he prepares my food. He is always courteous and makes sure I get what I ask for. For my sides, I had mac and cheese and yellow rice. After I received my food, I headed home with my car smelling delicious. When I got home I dove in to my food. The mac and cheese and rice were delicious but of course the jerk chicken was the star. It never fails. The spice level is always the same as I remember. I always need a napkin to wipe my forehead. It was extremely delicious.

The oxtail was really good. Chicken curry was good as well. They give a really big serving size…read more The service is a bit slow because there was only one guy working it, but he had the system down so it was smooth. The ambiance is what you would assume a Jamaican restaurant would be: Jamaican flags, Jamaican colors, Jamaican customers. The only reason why I give this place a 4 stars is because they were missing entrees. I originally came here for the jerk chicken, but they were out, even at lunch time (12:00pm). Other than that, it was reasonable pricing for the portion I got. I would come here again.

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.

I'm enough of an oyster snob that I felt the need to belly up to the oyster bar and do it right.

One star for the hush puppies…read more One star for our friendly server. Sadly, I can only give two stars to Wintzell's House in Mobile, Alabama. I should've listened to all of the advice from the locals on Reddit, who warned me that this place has fallen on harder times. The char grilled oysters were funky. I ate them but worried as I ate them. The hush puppies earned a star. They were pretty tasty. The were my favorite thing on the table. However, we asked for butter, and our server gave us packets of butter substitute. Doesn't this restaurant have real butter? The gumbo was fairly tasteless and also, they had chopped up whatever seafood was in there so finely that it all just turned into mush. If there was any seafood in there, I sure didn't taste it. The West Indies crab salad was a shocking disappointment. It was a scoop of crab meat, which they ruined by mixing it up with mayo. That's it. An ice cream scoop of canned crab meat mixed with heavy mayo. It's like they didn't even try. The bread pudding left very little impression. It was a little rectangular square. Our server misunderstood us when we said we wanted it topped with ice cream, and served the bread pudding alongside a bowl of five scoops of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. It was a very odd dessert situation, but we worked our way through it. Our server was an amusing fella. He kinda/sorta made the evening. Overall, I'm glad I went so I could know for myself. However, I do wish that I had listened to the locals on Reddit.

If not, hoping they upgrade soon. This place was recommended by a hotel worker. Service was ok. Cordial, not warming but whatever. I ordered the 10 piece wing and fries with a side of black eyed peas and greens. The meatloaf didn't ok appealing. The wings are fire. The sauce is the truth. Prolly the best thing there. Fries were fresh and hot however, they did not put any salt on them. The black eyed peas were better than I thought. They had really good flavor. I ordered greens and got mac n cheese. How the worker mixed that up and I was the only customer for 7 minutes is beyond me. The mac n cheese was NOT cheesin. Kraft mac n cheese taste better. It didn't look appealing when I saw it which is why I chose greens. She said the greens were not sweet so I was sold. If I go back, it's for the wings. They had no pictures on the site so I got it started for y'all.

By the time we arrived, a bit after 6:30 pm, the chicken and dumplings were sold out. We ordered chicken fried chicken (which came with 2 sides) and a fried shrimp salad, (a dinner-sized) green salad topped with lightly fried shrimp and lots of croutons. While it took a bit of time before the food arrived, portions were quite generous, and the food was tasty. My husband said the potato salad and slaw were both on the sweet side, but he enjoyed them and the fried chicken. Service was very friendly. Payment is at the front counter, and there's a small surcharge for anything other than cash. After seeing reviews of this restaurant on Yelp and elsewhere, I thought it might be a good choice for us. I'm glad we went.

The chicken was fabulous the sides were as expected, only set back is the mac and cheese is not as good as the rest, but everyone needs an Achilles heal, and perfection would just spoil me. Luck was on my side as Chris was our server again, that guy is tops. We had no complaints at all, did over hear a conversation at the next table where he had to substitute pot roast for an entree that was sold out (after checking with the customer for the sub) and he took that off the bill. Customer requested he not because he was so helpful, but he made another excuse and did it anyway. That my friends is why I tip him so well, (he got more on this 43 buck meal than the gal on my 175 tab last night, and she didn't get shorted) he is a super star and makes the visit better just by being himself. I hope his folks know how he is outside of home and are proud. Somebody raised him well. Bottom line, if you are looking for great home style cooking and no dish washing, this little gem is the spot. We used to get take out but with the service we receive why bother washing plates. Highly recommend. As you can see my newly added picture has a bite out of my chicken, I couldn't wait.
