Judy's Cafe — Restaurant in Two Harbors

Stopped in a couple weeks ago to get take out in a rush. Prices were decent for what it is...a greasy spoon. But the girl behind the counter was slow because she couldn't seem to put down her cell phone for longer than 3 seconds. I found that to be rude, unprofessional even in a diner type setting, and inconvenient because we were in a hurry. I therefore did not leave a good tip as I couldn't compete with her mobile device. Every restraunt I worked in on the gulf coast you'd be canned for doing that in front of customers, but it became obvious to me while waiting that she was the manager's or owner's daughter. The Mother I might add, was ACTUALLY hard at work. The staff was otherwise helpful enough. The front counter is at a bad height for kids and my toddler bashed his mouth on it while we were ordering, split his lip and bled all over. Someone did silently hand me a napkin, but it wasn't the person who took my order as she was back on her cell phone again and couldn't be bothered. The other staff member didn't even ask if he was alright, she just looked uncomfortable. The atmosphere reminded me of one of those community dinners set up in a church basement quickly to accomodate a temporary crowd and less like most diners I've been to. I only gave 3 stars because the chicken strips were pretty good and it was cheap. However the rest of the food was mediocre at best. I have heard that the breakfast food is better but I doubt I'll be back to find out as I was so underwhelmed by the staff...

I recently dined at Judy's Cafe, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. Our server, Kayla, was the epitome of professionalism and attentiveness. Despite serving 9 different tables, she never missed a beat, ensuring that everyone received top-notch service.

Kayla's attention to detail was impressive. She made sure our drinks were always topped off and checked in on us as we were enjoying our meal. Her ability to balance four dishes at a time while serving was a sight to behold, and our food, along with everyone else's, was served pretty fast.

The food at Judy's Cafe was equally commendable. I indulged in the Mile High Omelet and Hashbrowns with Cheese and Onions, and it was delicious. My husband enjoyed the Denver Omelet, and he was equally satisfied with his choice.

The ambiance of the place added to the charm, with cute decor that made the dining experience all the more enjoyable. I'm thrilled with my experience at Judy's Cafe and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, exceptional service, and a speedy dining experience. Hats off to Kayla and the entire team for making our...

What a great find! We love small town cafes and diners. Judy’s does not disappoint. We stopped in after our hike of Bean & Bear Lake. It was just what we were looking for. We were given three waters and menus immediately upon sitting down. No-nonsense service, fast food preparation, and most important- DELICIOUS food and pies. We enjoyed it so much the first day we went back the next day for more.

We tried the following foods and entrees and loved them all: Pizza burger, Caesar salad (exceptionally good dressing!), two-cheese grilled cheese, onion rings, hash browns (scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked- SO GOOD and a Judy’s specialty), pizza omelet, cinnamon French toast, chicken dumpling soup, and pie.

The pies we tried were all incredible as well— butterscotch merengue, chocolate banana cream, coconut cream, apple custard, and cherry (last two were warmed and topped with real whipped cream). 😋
