In Praise of Judy’s

Your Traditional Friendly Non-Family-Friendly Diner

We would argue Judy’s is actual a family-friendly diner. However, the subtitle above just accurately represents its placement in the genre of friendly non-family-friendly diners.

That is mainly because of the alcohol. It doesn’t just have a bar: it is a bar, with a diner.

It has more liquor than windows, despite being above ground.

Their prices are inflation-proof.

Its last call is 1PM instead of 1AM, as Maine State Law dictates.

I have never been offered a menu, but have been asked the very necessary question of “What do you want?”

By the same waitress/bartender every time, who is the same person—though not named Judy.

At least I don’t think so, for there is no name tag.

In other words, I love Judy.

I have enjoyed every visit.

It is in a class by itself, rising above the Great Mount Rushmores of Old.
