Judith is a new American tavern pairing warm hospitality and the cooking of James Beard Nominated Chef Julia Sullivan (Henrietta Red in Nashville) located in the quiet area of Sewanee, TN near the University of the South. The name is an homage to Judith Ward Lineback, the first woman to matriculate into the University in 1969.

As Sullivan’s first solo project, Judith will feature a seasonal menu of creative and approachable dishes including a selection of small, shareable plates perfect for the bar crowd. The beverage program mirrors the food with accessible wines and a cocktail list created by Henrietta Red's Beverage Manager Patrick Halloran.

The warehouse-style building, previously the Old Steam Laundry which serviced the University since the 1950’s, has additional space for private dining and parties. With the goal of becoming a meeting place for students, faculty, tourists and the Sewanee community alike, the restaurant will be open for dinner from Thursday - Monday.

    It's well worth the drive, and for us it's from Greenville, SC. Every dish has a unique blend of flavors. Our favorites? The chicken liver pate on sourdough bread, fresh oysters, and trout rillette; celery apple cheddar salad; trout sautéed perfectly in herbs, smoked chicken, pork schnitzel; polished off with incredible homemade ice cream. For a special treat we paired aïoli fries with the ice cream. Our server Victoria 'owned' the dishes and gave excellent suggestions. We'll be back!

    Judith is a delightfully unique dining experience in my little town of Sewanee, Tennessee. Service is great--helpful, responsive without hovering. The food is exotic--so many flavors is every entre. May be a little pricey for some, but compared to other special places, cost is average. I will be a regular!

    Great experience. The food was excellent and our server was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. We’ll definitely be back. This is a great addition to the restaurant options in Monteagle/Sewanee.

    The schnitzel and the mushroom pasta were both out of this world! The service was friendly and efficient and the cocktails divine- highly recommended!

    Some of the best taste treats I have ever had. Great waitstaff. A little noisy, but tolerable. I'll be back many times.

    Another amazing experience at Judith! Kitchen pacing was a little off last night, but food was spot on.
