Jude's Old Town

Can't believe we've lived in Rainier Beach for two years and just finally tried Judes for the first time. I've been missing out on their amazing food all this time! Tried the brussel sprouts appetizer and it was a great start. The group also ordered the fried chicken sandwich, the shrimp po boy, black bean burger, gumbo and every dish was delicious! The staff were quick, and the atmosphere is very inviting and low key! We got the fried beignets for dessert and it was gone in a minute! Will be coming back here more frequently

Delicious cocktails and great service as always and excellent southern food. Haven't visited for about a year, and the portion sizes have changed. If you want gumbo I would recommend getting a side - it is about the same size as the entree for half the price. No need to pay double for a simple salad and then pay more to swap that for a different side. Side of gumbo and side of dirty rice is the way to go!

Yet again we had another terrific outing at Jude’s. The food is always good and always consistent, really a great takeout spot. Every time I dine in I have a great experience. The wait staff are super nice and the service is quick. The biggest thing is the bartender goes way above and beyond the call of duty. This has happened a couple times now where my party has expressed interest in something custom behind the bar and we get treated to an origin story combined with a tasting flight. Jude’s is such a jem and it’s worth a long drive and if you live in the neighborhood you owe them a visit. Thanks so much!

How am I just finding out about Jude's now? Found this place because I was scouting out shrimp and grits for dinner on the south end. I ended up getting that and it was delicious with collards and red beans. There's at least three other things I have to go back and try on the menu. Cool vibe, friendly staff, and great food! Went again and had the mushroom etoufée. It was delicious and almost a little too spicy for me.

Grits plate with blackened salmon, greens, and red beans was awesome. Grits were so creamy and flavorful, hard to find in Seattle. Black bean burger was great. Crioli sauce brought us back to childhood memories, fantastic. Service was above and beyond. Atmosphere was filled with positive energy. I recommend and will be a repeat customer.

Found this place randomly, after we walked to a Cafe that ended up being closed for a private event. We have another Creole place we usually go to (hadn't been in awhile), so my husband was especially excited about this place. We loved all the handcrafted drinks we ordered, and we appreciated the non alcoholic options. The guy who took care of us was very nice and obviously passionate about his work. We'll definitely be walking back here again! We each got the catfish

Such great vibes. Such great food. We made a reservation which I recommend doing and loved all of the food and drinks we had! We ordered the fritters, dirty rice, gumbo, Caesar and citrus salad and the beignets. All incredible. We also tried the wintering in Spain, a beer and a winter cosmo. Very good.
