One of the few places in downtown Nampa that was open on the 4th of July. No wait at 10am on a…read moreSaturday, probably because of the holiday. We were greates quickly and got our iced tea fast. But then waited about 10 minutes before waiting for someone to take our order, while watching multiple waitresses walk past us. Once we did order, I went with lunch (rueben sandwich with fries? and hubby went with breakfast (chicken fried steak, hashbrowns, and toast). The sandwich was delicious!! But the waitress didn't ask what side I wanted and just gave me fries. I could have said something, but was hungry and didn't want to wait for it to be fixed. Hubby loved the gravy, but thought the actual chicken fried steak was just ok. The breading was meh and the meat was more of a hamburger texture rather than cube steak. His hashbrowns were also very under cooked and the oil tasted old. Despite those issues, we'd still go back and talked about what we'd try next. Once we placed our order the waitstaff became much more attentive and was very friendly.

We ordered the meat omelet, biscuits n gravy, and a cinnamon roll. Because we got sick it messes up my experience. The cinnamon Roll is more bready then soft and chewy. It's more like a big piece of bread w cinnamon.

I've been curious about Big Jud's for a while, but since I live over 30 minutes away from their…read morelocation, it was hard to justify the drive. We were close to the area and we finally were able to visit and I'm sure glad we did. The restaurant is located in a nice shopping center on the corner of Eagle and Overland, immediately on the other side of 84. The location is nestled towards the back of the center and can easily be missed as it's tucked in the corner of a small lot. We were greeted with a huge smile and swift seating to a booth in the larger dining room area. Even though it was barely 11:30 am on a Saturday, the dining room was already filling with hungry customers and the kitchen was notably bustling. We had Kaitlyn as our server. She arrived with a sunny disposition and eagerness to get our orders going. Downside, due to cost, tomatoes are not available. I have to say, that kind of broke my heart a little...tomatoes, in my eyes, are a requirement for every burger. I ordered the Bleu Bacon single burger and hubby had the cheeseburger. We ordered a small fry (1/2 pound) for us to share. Food did take quite a while to come out, but our server did come by several times to check on us, refill drinks, and give us updates (apparently a large to-go order backlogged the kitchen). The burgers came out first. I was a little underwhelmed with the small burger plate and cheese that was obviously cold when added to the burger and had become a tad sweaty from being steamed instead of melted. I had little hope....but then I took my first bite. The Kaiser hamburger bun was soft, burger patty was nicely seasoned and the bleu cheese was punchy without being overwhelming. The bacon sung through. The fries quickly followed. We were surprised by the home cut style, thick and irregular...rustic and perfectly cooked. These suckers are huge. But with every fry, it was crunch-tender on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I really enjoyed our visit, but the place seemed to be a little understaffed. Several tables had plates stacked or cleaning supplies atop the tables. That aside, service was attentive and the food tasted great, even without the tomatoes.

It was a fun day to be there on July 2 when they were spraying screaming children in the Plaza with a fire hose, yes, hot that day!

Not to mention, the all-you-can-eat salad and soup bar was calling my name. Hubby and I drove 40 minutes from our home to be dazzled. This place is a tad dated and little dark, but I actually loved that aspect. We were warmly greeted and sat in a booth in the back of restaurant. We also loved that too. Our server was very friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the country fried steak with fries and mac 'n cheese, I opted for the salad bar + half sandwich combo, choosing the cranberry chicken pecan salad sandwich solely due to the glowing yelp reviews. The salad bar was first...the salad mix looks like the bagged American mix you can get at the grocery store. There's a nice variety of dry and veggie toppings, though I wasn't a fan of the carrot chunks in the place of shreds or the yellowing cucumber slices. The salad bar also consists of a nacho, soup, baked potato and ice cream (soft serve) bar, so it's almost like a mini Souplantation. Wished they had the soups labeled, as I had no idea what was what. I think one was a chili and a loaded baked potato soup (which I tried and it was good). The nacho chips were very stale and the chunky potato wedges were very cold. The salad was fresh, though some of the veggie toppings looked and tasted a little old...the ranch dressing was the standard ranch, just average. Their chicken salad sandwich was very good, though a tad under seasoned...needed pepper or salt. Their chicken salad sandwich veggies were super fresh and the bread was thick and soft. My husband was not a fan of the country fried steak. He said that it was obviously a previously frozen reheated vendor-type meal... he expected that, but not such a low-grade frozen flavor. He said it was like a banquet frozen meal. Eek. The fries and fry sauce were good, the mac was average...at least they jazzed it up with a few shreds of cheese on top. We wanted to love this place so bad! There's definitely some merits with the salad bar at least.

The employees are very nice too and seemed like they wanted to be at work, very friendly. I would NOT recommend anything on the kids menu. The Mac and Cheese is obviously Kraft (which is fine because it's on the kids menu I suppose), however the chicken nuggets were frozen in the middle. Not fantastic. I got a personal pizza with krispy chicken, but the krispy chicken tasted like a cut up Dino chicken nugget. Not great quality. I think maybe I should've looked at past reviews or asked the employees what was good, because the French dip was absolutely wonderful! The bread was soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and the meat was pleasantly flavored. The dip was great too. So if you go, I would recommend the sandwiches because those seemed to be great. The pizzas are meh, and the kids menu is just store bought food prepared for you. The sandwiches are fully worth it!
