    Love Judes! Great cocktails and so many options with small plates. Service is always so friendly and welcoming and we especially love Camryn, the host. Judes is a fantastic place to meet friends and a nice alternative to some of the local bars.

    This is the first time I've left a negative review anywhere as I have never felt more unwelcomed or been treated with such disrespect. I'll spare you the details, but sadly the experience overshadowed anything positive to report. We were treated to an extremely rude manager and rude hostess on the way out. Both could use some training on polite, respectful communication to foster good customer service. As a long-time resident of Crystal Lake I expect a kinder community. So disappointed, and will never be back.

    We have been to Jude’s on numerous occasions and have always had great food, wonderful service in great ambience. This time we brought our friends and it was their first time. Our server, (Jimmy) greeted us and was awesome throughout our visit. He was very personable, yet professional. He assisted us with recommendations on food and spirits. As it turned out, both our friends and us ordered the same small plates. We had the Filet Sliders, the lobster and shrimp all of which were delicious and quite filling as well. The presentation was great too. In addition, we had the bread pudding and flourless chocolate cake. They were delectable. It was a great relaxing dining experience and our friends could not stop talking about how much they loved the entire evening at Jude’s. Again, we could not say enough good things about Jimmy, our server. He is a great Ambassador for Jude’s!
