Jude's Reviews
Jude’s offers small plates perfect for sharing with friends. The food choices are plentiful and reflect different culinary choices so they offer things you can’t get elsewhere in CL. The environment is warm and welcoming. Staff provide service that makes sure the experience is a good one.
Been wanting to come here for a long time. Came for my birthday dinner. Had reservations. Were Sat in back corner of the place next to kitchen. We smelled when we left. Drinks took forever. Had one drink. Plates never cleared. So many people are your server. Won’t be back.
Jude's has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Crystal Lake. I love the variety of internationally inspired options and the size of the plates is perfect. I brought a very large group of ladies there for Black Friday, everyone has particular tastes and was able to find something they liked. They have a very trendy area in the back with a huge couch/bench for larger parties which was so comfortable. To top it off, the staff are always kind and accommodating...read full review

The staff is amazing, providing excellent customer service that is both friendly and efficient.
