This is such a cute welcoming place. Nice bar, great Gin selection, along with other cocktails. Small plates from many types of food, great to share. Something for any taste. Our server was great, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

Jude's Cocktail Bar in Crystal Lake is amazing. The quality and selection of menu selections cannot be beat. It totally reminds me of a tucked away quaint European bistro. Unassuming ...Quiet pure class!

Very convenient if you need to grab a bite before a show at the Raue Theater across the street. More of a bar atmosphere. Restaurant offers small plates, and food is very good. Wine offered at 6 oz. or 9 oz., but I couldn't see the difference in the pours.

Fabulous. I love the food! And the drinks! We celebrated my friend's birthday with a flourless chocolate cake. Delightful!

My go-to when friends come out from Chicago to visit. So many choices of delicious small plates and creative cocktails. I've never been disappointed at Jude's. Excellent attentive service.

Food was great and the service was too. Make sure u like gin in your drinks, because that is their thing. Looking forward to going again 😄

The food was superb, love the small dishes!! the ambiance warm and welcoming, and the service absolutely amazing—an outstanding dining experience from start to finish.
Don
The food and service were excellent. The only complaint is that the sauces that come with the naan are too skimpy. The serving size wasn't enough for one person let alone the four people at our table. We've experienced this same issue the last three times we've visited here but its not a big enough issue to keep us from returning.

The food at Jude's was incredible! We ordered multiple small plates. It was expensive, but delicious!

The food was a big let down after seeing the reviews. Half of our food was cold and the portions excessively small (even for tapas). Not impressed for the money. Best thing here were the drinks!
Every time I'm in the area, Jude's is the first place to go for dinner/drinks/excellent service. The staff is amazing - Dee, Amy and others are models of customer service. They always take care of the people and go above and beyond. What I don't quite understand is how they have such an amazing array of food and the kitchen creates wonderful dishes and gets it out quickly. No shortcuts, this is truly amazing global cuisine. That they are in Crystal Lake is surprising, but they absolutely elevate the entire experience. Highly recommended!

Ordered a Ramen. Was terrible and we left after that. Was noodles and heavy sweet/sour sauce to be kind. Label as such please as that was no Ramen for $8.00+ Sucked. Gal got Scallops. Very heavy price Big as a nickel and pretty sure frozen. Pretty bad. They smelled when they were brought to table. Needless to say …goodbye and wasted our time/money. Dint mind paying but was pretty bad and pretty sure frozen or ???
Waste of money and will never come back. Food is a joke

I really enjoy Jude's. Their small plates are always great. Our server was friendly and engaging. Judes is a solid choice for good food when you want to just try something new. I tried the patatas bravas, which were spicy, but not really spicy, and quite flavorful.

We enjoyed a girls evening on the outdoor patio. Service was friendly and checked back often to order more plates, and clear dishes. Drinks were delicious as well, packing their own punch
