I was among a party of three this evening at Judds and Jacksons for their Easter buffet. The quality of food and selection was great, just as it had been at their Thanksgiving buffet and New Year’s Eve event. There was thick juicy sliced ham and roast beef, a selection of vegetable and pasta dishes, a spread of salads and a sweet dessert table. The dining room has a nice atmosphere.
During our first time up at the buffet, an 86 year-old member of our party made a personal comment to me about how one of the soup’s looked like dog food. It wasn’t the best comment, and apparently someone nearby took offense. During our second trip back to the buffet, another diner- a complete stranger- called this member of our party a slang word for a female dog, and then explained why. We felt uncomfortable and intimidated. I expressed my concern to a hostess, who promised to send someone to speak to us to work this out- except they never did. Having to make repeated trips back to our table past this other diner made us uncomfortable.
I spoke to a well-intentioned but happily apathetic manager who said that there were two sides to the story. His comparison of the two comments was offensive. I understand that the soup comment was inappropriate, and that restaurants cannot control what their customers say either way. But how could someone not speak up after having their girlfriend/wife/mother/grandmother/loved one called a “female dog?”
The restaraunt's dismissive response spoke volumes to their handling of disputes and respect toward women. The staff did nothing to make her feel better, nor did they even bother to check in or talk to her. For a dinner that came to over $200 for the three of us, with gratuity included, we expected to be treated...

I decided to write a review after seeing two negative reviews and thinking, "What are they talking about?" I've enjoyed every meal I've ever had here and in the few instances that I had an issue with anything I was able to get someone to help me right away.
Among the members here, the restaurant has a reputation of doing a good job. There are other local golf courses that do not match up to the food quality offered at Spring Mill, that is how the regular users of the restaurant view it.
There are several eating areas here: a bar/casual area, an outdoor patio overlooking the golf course, and a dining room. There's also a banquet room for weddings and very large parties.
As for the Mozzarella sticks... they're...
Read moreContrary to what they say, Judd and Jackson's does not take open table reservations. I had made a reservation for Mother's Day. When I called the restaurant to add 2 more, I was told they don't even have a record of my reservation at all. I was told I would get a return phone call from the manager, never received that phone call and then got an email that my reservation was cancelled by the restaurant. So, they did have the reservation because they were able to cancel it that quickly. Shame because we live very close to this place and really...
