"Really enjoyed our evening. I found the menu to be limited for someone who does not enjoy steak/seafood delicacies or fish. But those in our party that did appreciate those items did like their meals."

"Food choices are great...steaks, seafood, salads and more. The best steak I have ever eaten and fabulous service. Our server, Nathaniel, was knowledgeable regarding all aspects of the menu...including the wine list! If you decide to visit this gem of a steakhouse, be sure to ask for Nathaniel's section. Although, I am sure you will be treated well by any member of this staff!"

"Great food, great staff. The only negative I had was I ordered the stuffed filet prepared medium and it was rather rare for my taste. I did not mention it to the waiter as I was to stuffed to eat any more anyway. I would stll recomend Judsons to anyone loking for a fine dining experience."

"My steak (NY Strip) was quite good, as was the sauce... the smashed potatoes were pretty good too! my beer (The BoB's IPA) wasn't my favorite, but the biggest problem was that they were out of what my wife had her heart set on... (Prime Rib), so that was a bummer. our waiter was nice though. (Joshua)"

"The prime rib was tough. The whipped potatoes were clearly from a box, tasted and looked more like grits. Drinks were weak and over-priced. Service was friendly but un-attentive. Will not go back."
