Judy's Place Diner [Judy Kirkwood] in Lindsay

If youre looking for the ultimate breakfast experience in Ontario, look no further than Judy s Place. From the moment you walk in, its clear that the owners and staff are the heart and soul of this beloved spot. Their warmth and attention to detail set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The service is, without a doubt, the best weve ever had everyone goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. What really sets Judys Place apart is how they treat every guest like family. Our children were treated with such kindness and care, making it a memorable experience for them as well. Our son, who adores chocolate chip pancakes, wasn t eating them because we were indulging in the eggs Benedict (which were incredible). Without us asking, the staff went out of their way to bring him a complimentary plate of benedict , which made his day and showcased the genuine hospitality that defines this place. We cant recommend Judy s Place enough. From the top-notch service to the fantastic food, it s a must-visit for anyone in Ontario. Every meal here feels special, and every visit leaves you looking forward to the next one. Simply put, its the best breakfast spot around!

Fast,friendly and good food! The lady remembers my order even though I am a seldom customer.

First time visit, impressed with the cleanliness, service and food. Had a coffee, not bitter, very pleasant. Had the Philly Style Steak Benedict, and poutine. Had the opportunity to try the Beef Chili and French Toast. French toast was cooked through, very soft, fluffy, with a little bit of sweetness. Chili has a warm and savory bite, perfect for those looking to spice up their day. Philly Style Steak Benedict, the hollandaise was rich and creamy, great flavor, heightened by the caramelized onions and extremely flavorfully fried mushrooms. The steak was thin Sliced and layered, and the eggs were poached perfectly for soft yoke lovers. Could be cooked longer for those who prefer hard yoke. Poutine, loads of flavor. High quality chicken strips, bacon, fresh curds and rich brown gravy. Perfect portion and quality for the price. 100% would recommend all of the above. This business supports their community and displays various works of art, available for purchase. The staff and service was wonderful. Very kind and personable staff. Will be returning in the near future. Thank you for the wonderful experience. You did very well. I look forward to returning in the future. SBourgon

Great home fries. Very friendly service

This is a great place, new owners are absolutely fantastic and the food is fresh and staff is absolutely great !!

Food great I come for the breakfast potatoes and I have noticed portion sizes of potatoes have greatly diminished. Had maybe 8 potatoe pieces today. They used to serve more.. Was dissappointed

We were so grateful to be at this place to have our brunch today. What a lovely ambience!!! Arpita the way you address each and every customers of yours just make us feel at home!!! Arpita and Aditya you both are doing a great job with so much kindness Highly recommended place to have breakfast and brunch !!! Long way to Go Aditya Stay blessed guys in all your future endeavours!!

Thank you Judy for the amazing service and your expertise about the local businesses in the area.

Great food! Food tastes like a home cooked meal. The new owners are very friendly, kind people, and it feels like a large family gathering every time we eat there. Kid-friendliness: Very relaxing atmosphere. Friendly, family type atmosphere .

Meals are tasty and great price and down to earth staff. It has a country home town feel and cozy atmosphere of my Gen X youth.

Absolutely love this family run little diner! Prices that are so budget friendly you ll become a regular. Arpita & Kayomarz make you feel like family. Aditya handles the kitchen, & makes the best poached eggs! It s unpretentious, delivering delicious food. They also have a support program to help feed people in need, giving back to the community.

Friendly folk, delicious food! Lovely local diner.

Was short on time and came here for a Sunday morning breakfast. One of the owners was very welcoming and efficient. My wife and I were in and out in 25 minutes. Prices were excellent. Food was great. Will be back!

Food was good. Staff was nice. New owner doing a good job Debit and wifi now there. The thing that makes this place different is homestyle cooking. Things that we like to eat at home. They treat you like family. The Country kitchen used to be like this, but not the same feel any more.

What a great place to go for a good old fashioned breakfast! The folks here are super friendly and go out of their way to engage their customers. If you re near Lindsay you have to stop in here for a bite.

Great place to eat, amazing food and great customer service.

Our favourite breakfast spot. Our food has been served as consistently wonderful as the smiles by the staff. 10/10 recommend Food

Food just as great as the service. I like being able to take my family to a place where we feel welcome. My son loves interactions with the owner/staff. We will be back.

What a lovely little spot! Accidentally stumbled across it and we not only had delicious food but wonderful service! I ve been workin in breakfast for many years and I love when I come across a family run spot so lovely! Thank you guys, we will be back :) Food

This is THE place for to fill your morning hunger! Fast, friendly and fabulous food. Great find!

homey old style diner with great food and great service. Had a lovely filling breakfast and came back to try the rice pudding a few days later. it was delicious!

The food is delicious and owners are friendly. The place is nostalgic, very clean and the prices are great. We go every weekend. We highly recommend it.

Cozy little dinner in the downtown core with good food and wonderful service. Always very friendly and inviting!

Great place to stop and eat. Food is phenomenal and service is fantastic.

I had the BLT and my dad had the Oatmeal. Really great breakfast!

Had the absolute pleasure of eating at this lovely diner this morning with my husband and young daughter. To say it was unbelievable would be an understatement, as from the moment we walked in; it just felt like home. With Lindsay becoming more established in terms of franchises and population, it s so nice to see a diner that is still providing the feeling of a small town in an ever growing city. Not only were the owners just over the top amazing but the young servers were the absolute sweetest as well. The food was so fresh and had that taste of a home cooked meal to it, which is hard to come by now a days. You can tell that so much passion, dedication and love is put into the food as well as the establishment. If you are looking for an astounding diner to bring the family too or even just enjoy a delicious meal with your significant other, friend or even by yourself then look no further then Judy s Place as you will not be disappointed. You will be provided with the best experience from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave !

Absolutely amazing spot! Delicious classic diner food that hits the spot, but the service is what makes this place shine. We came here twice from our of town and were treated so kindly both times. The first time they were out of a certain kind of pie, but when we came back the second time they made sure to have that pie just for us! Will come back here in a heartbeat!

Great wee greasy spoon in the downtown core area. Great staff, decent food.

Found myself in Lindsay one morning and googled places for breakfast. I found Judys Place and based on reviews I decided to give it a try. First impressions mean a lot so first thing that grabbed me was the warm welcoming staff who couldnt have been nicer to me. Ok, onto the menu. All typical breakfast options were offered so I decided on the early bird special. The breakfast itself was perfect and the portion size was just right. The price was incredibly cheap for what I got and coffee included was a bonus that you rarely find anywhere else. I dont find myself in the area often but when I do you can be sure I will make sure I stop in again. Hats off to the owner and her staff.

Great people with a warm and hardy atmosphere and the best priced food in town!

Our family loves this restaurant, we try to go twice a week. Very homey, quaint little restaurant. The service is amazing they make a point of learning everyone s names and you get greeted so warmly when you walk in the door. The food is great and the prices are even better. We love their coffee, it s the best diner coffee we ve had. We haven t tried everything on the menu but I can speak highly of their breakfast menu, food is always perfect. Honestly their customer service is what keeps us coming back they are so friendly and happy, always have a smile on their faces and they love chatting with you. I would highly recommend this place. I do believe it s wheel chair friendly but you would have to go through the back door.

An absolute gem!

had a great brunch experience at this restaurant food is amazing service is excellent highly recommended

Food is excellent! Great service and even better prices! Highly recommend.

Great experience, friendly staff, great food and budget friendly

Terrific food and unbelievably fantastic service. Breakfast every Saturday and Sunday

I do found the food to be excellent as was the services. The prices were very reasonable. And since this is aom and Pop business they know all their customers by name and they do not hesitate to welcome you and give a brief chat. It is an older building and restaurant but the owners take the time to know each of their customers

Judys has been a wonderful Lindsay go to for many years but the current management make it feel so lovely and inviting. The food is wonderful and the space comforting like home

Recommended to us by everyone. Great coffee... smooth! Because they buy whole beans and grind them daily. Fabulous service. Homemade food served by people who care.

The perfect place when trying to get an early start for our on-water adventure Classic diner with all our favourites. Great service and the obligatory bottomless cup of coffee Food : 5/5

Great diner

Always delicious and great service! Had to bring along some of my friends to try it out and they loved it!

This is one of those hidden gems. The owners know how to make you feel like you are an old friend. Our brunch was delivered quickly to the table, was piping hot and delicious. Bonus points for having gluten free bread and home fries. We will be back, hopefully with our Swedish girls! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free toast available.

We pass through Lindsay regularly and checked out Judys place diner on the net. The reviews were satisfactory and we went in. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The breakfast menu had a variety of choices so you could order to suit your appetite. The quality of the food and the cooking was notable. The prices are very reasonable and is appreciated by us, and I imagine by the local diners as well, based on the amount that were there. Good atmosphere, good service, and good luck for us to find it and make it our regular stop.

Our favourite place in Lindsay! Great home style cooking with the most amazing owners. I ve tried lots of Eggs Benny and theirs is one of the best.

Judy s place has always been a great place to go for breakfast, I have been coming here since I was a little kid, and love it, the food has always been excellent, and very reasonably priced, The restaurant is family run by probably the nicest people around. And have had nothing but a great experience every time I have gone here, definitely worth a try!

At Judy s Place you will receive a very friendly greeting, it is family owned and trust me you are looked after like part of the family! If what you order isn t to your satisfaction, a new plate will be given. After two years of coming for breakfast twice a week, I would definitely recommend

Love This Place!!! My husband and I go for breakfast almost every week. The food is good, service is excellent, price is right. Owners are super friendly.

We just love going to Judy s. The kids love it. The served is amazing. The food is so good. We highly recommend going to Judy s due to the food, prices and the atmosphere Parking: There s parking in front of the building along the street or you can park behind the building too Kid-friendliness: My two children love coming here. The staff always interact with them. It s a very laid back atmosphere

We stumbled upon this place by chance and were very please by the service as they make u feel like part of the family they truly care about u enjoying your time here your not just a customer like some of the corporate places if something isnt to your liking if u dont speak up they cant fix it and I can tell u they will do whatever they can to make it right for u as long as your not unreasonable I highly recommend

Excellent food service and atmosphere. 10/10 would reccomend

Amazing food and staff. Dont miss out in this hidden gem.

Food good, service always friendly and welcoming

Very friendly, good size portions, and fast service

Amazing customer service, and great food

Fantastic place. Ordered ahead today and was welcomed with a smile. The owner let me know the kettle was on the boil and would just be a minute for the food. It was all freshly made and delicious. Gave me extra ketchup and was very friendly for the entire interaction. Definitely recommend, the place always seems to be busy. I can see them from my work and its always bustling.

I absolutely love Judy s place! The owners, the staff, the food, amazing ! The owners make it a point to get to know you and greet you by name when you come through the door. I make sure to come to Judy s place every time I am in town and would recommend to anybody looking for great food at a very very reasonable price!

First time in Judys. Had breakfast. Really good food. Great service and friendly atmosphere. Will be back again!

The new management is really sprucing up the place. Lovely food and kind personable staff. A lindsay gem for sure!

Food was beyond amazing, staff were very friendly and quick to serve, menu items were priced very fair for the portions received. Highly recommend this place!!

Excellent food and staff is superb

LOVE coming here! It s a hidden gem in the heart of Lindsay. Couldn t ask for a better place to eat, socialize and feel like you re part of their family. Try the Spinach & Feta wrap (aka Sherry Special) it s fantastic . Arpita is so friendly, down to earth and makes your visit memorable. Take it from me and all her loyal customers THE BEST PLACE in TOWN TO EAT.

Love the owners and staff at Judy s. It is great home cooked food and a big smile when we come in! Coffee is always hot and plentiful!

Sweet family owned place. Nice spot.

Very friendly we eat there 3 times a week we love eatting here the staff are just amazing. Very,very nice people work here. And the food is amazing. My son will not eat anyware but at judys. Five stars 100%

Love going to Judys Place..Food is great..service is excellent..the new owners are very nice people..keeping the history of the restaurant alive..

Very clean restaurant, prices extremely reasonable, very friendly staff. Very short wait time for our food ... which was delicious, by the way. Great menu selection. We will be back.

First time this morning and so glad we decided to give it a try. The owners were fabulous!! So friendly and attentive. They mentioned making some authentic Indian dishes for supper. Looking forward to coming back for supper. Lindsay could use a place with menu options besides the basic pizza, burgers and pasta. Vegetarian options: Yeah for vegetarian options! Thank you!!

Best breakfast! Had the veggie omelette. The home fries are so good! Food

Judys has new owners - Arpita and her partner. They are awesome and have plans for Judys. I love how they are keeping the legacy of this well known iconic restaurant alive. I spoke to Arpita and their plan is to expand their menu and open for dinner now that they have their license. Right now its a great breakfast choice - which is why I always come here for their all day breakfast special. I think they have the right idea for Lindsay - and maybe anywhere - good food, great price, warm local feel atmosphere. Cant wait to see their plans manifest over the next year!

The service was excellent. The owners are the sweetest couple. The food was pretty good and the restaurant was clean.

Perfect little breakfast spot with good food and amazing service. My son s steak and eggs came out too well done and the hostess had it remade without us even asking or complaining. They even offered my son a complimentary hot chocolate to go. Definitely will be back many more times!

Amazing food . I am form out of town and I am glad I chose this place to eat

Place was very dirty. I washed our table before eating with hand sanitizer and a kleenex. Food was OK but nothing special. We wont be returning.

Very good

Went to hell since it was sold. Absolute garbage. Wont return

Part of my order was missing and meals are alot smaller than they used to be

Fantastic food and service. Nice little family run diner in downtown lindsay. If your hungry go in for breakfast or lunch, you wont be disappointed.

Beautiful dinner.

Not as good as it used to be, weve been going since early 2000s or longer. Was served cold coffee, long gaps between getting meals

Perfect hole-in-the-wall diner with a top notch, friendly staff and great, simply done comfort food. The bacon grilled cheese is basic, but delicious!

It s everything you can ask for in a family run restaurant good food, great prices, really friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere. If you want a chain go through the Tim s drive through. This is more of a place to hang out and have breakfast with a friend free from rush and noise

Judys place is one of the best place i know and the food and the service of the place are excellent.

This place is a hidden gem. Good food with reasonable price.

The place has a very nice ambience and the customer service there is really great. I ordered hungry man breakfast from there and it was delicious.

Nice experience .The food was very tasty and delicious.The service provided them was appreciable.

Small town feel . Very friendly

Very friendly people! Food is good! Service with a smile! Loved it!

First time in Judys .The service is unmatched. Can t wait to come back! The staff truly cares about your experience and food is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended..

Awesome food and service. First time in Judys. The food was excellent.Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.

Very nice local business, staff very friendly & food was excellent and worth the cost. Will definitely eat there in the future when Im in the town Kid-friendliness: 2 small kids 7 adults and not a single mistake in the order, our waiter was very professional

Great food and service

It was underwhelming. Very tired location with damaged plates, seats, and tables. The carpet needs a thorough cleaning. Our waiter told us to sit wherever we wanted, then immediately came over and asked us if we were ready to order. He took drink orders and left. While opening my roll of utensils, we found the fork still had egg stuck to it. Next, a bottled milk drink was chunky when pouring it out - it wasnt expired so maybe it was kind of frozen. Either way, our waiter took it away and replaced it and the dirty fork. The food came out and was on the smaller side for a small diner/greasy spoon type place. Food was good and we werent hassled as we ate but did have a couple of top-ups on our coffee. We didnt stay long as we were a bit disappointed - it feels like this could be an awesome spot, but needs some serious investment into new, well, everything. The good: Food was tasty. The bad: The decor and styling. The interesting: A framed picture of a jet being fueled behind the counter. No idea on the connection to this restaurant.

Went to enjoy breakfast today and lets just say its not like it used to be... service was not the greatest the food was so cold toast wasnt even toasted, server poured coffee into my tea..very disappointed. Used to be my favorite place for breakfast.

Great place to dine in with family. Food was exceptionally good and customized to the needs. Service was also good. They serve good food that is hot and delicious. A must try place if you are looking for budget friendly and delicious breakfast

Food was delicious. Wonderful & experienced staff.

Food is always great love the bacon and egg breakfast platter

Very disappointed Ill leave it at that

Bought a club house today from judys.my first time there.it was pretty amazing.good service and the food was amazing .Hope to come again sometime.

We had a very tasty breakfast at Judy s Place in Lindsay yesterday. Service was friendly and fast, coffee was also very good.

Excellent breakfast. Great prices. Excellent customer service

We spontaneously decided to stop for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We both ordered the standard $8.20 breakfast, mine with bacon and the other with sausages. The breakfast came with coffee, home fries, toast, and beans (we declined the beans). Pros: Server was friendly and service was fast. Eggs were cooked perfectly to our ask, as was the bacon. Cons: Some of the potatoes were not fully cooked. coffee was very weak and flavourless (I take it black with no sugar), decor was very dated and dingy, we were surprised when paying to learn they only take cash not debit - we were never told of that (thankfully we had cash on hand).

Havnt been to Judys place for a year or two due to pandemic but was not as good as it was, the bacon was of poor quality very salty and under cooked, home fries were sparse & under cooked as well as the eggs and also under cooked! I was rather dissapointed not sure If I will go back again?

Exactly what I want for breakfast

Great food and good prices. Definitely recommend

A classic and affordable place to stop for breakfast in Lindsay. Service was fantastic and the food was filling, comforting, and greasy (in the best way possible, trust me).

Excellent value. Very tasty!!! Hometown look & feel. 4 sausage, 2 eggs, toast, home fries, baked beans, coffee $8.50

Never had ant issues with eating at Judys . The food is always so delicious and what I love most is that the sere there sometimes with caramelized onions do give it that extra kick and great flavor

Friendly service and home cooking

Great spot for a simple breakfast while we were in Lindsay. Obviously a local favourite with a lot of regulars, great prices and really friendly service. Reminded me of the breakfast places my dad would always bring my family as soon as they opened at 7am, or earlier if possible, when we were on vacations.

Amazing breakfast and felt like I was stealing with the price! Staff were welcoming and just great people! Highly recommended!

Great food and prices.

My wife and myself have been eating breakfast here for years . Always good food smiling faces .Judys has that small town atmosphere that we love

Waited over a half hour to get served and the waitress was all over the place helping people walking in for take out. We had enough after 40 mins of waiting. Didnt even get food because we left. 3 other couples left also. Worst service for breakfast. I do NOT recommend Judys at all.

Best breakfast for ypur money hungry mans breaky tax included under 12 bucks

Great food, great service, great price! What else needs to be said?

oh luv this place good old fashioned cook meals. staff is aswome.

Very good for a local restaurant & the food is plenty, waitress is very attentive. We recommend this place.

Awesome food and service!!

Good local spot .... Great food, friendly service.

Fantastic breakfast. Best pancakes in town.

VERY SMALL BREAFAST AND LUNCH SPOT...BUT WHAT THEY DONT HAVE IN SPACE THEY MAKE UP FOR WITH GREAT FOOD...AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE...AND DECENT PRICING...SOME OF THE BEST EATERIES ARE TUCKED AWAY...ONCE YOU FIND THEM...WOW

Great home cooked breakfast. Old town feeling. Dont change a thing. Cash only. Was a surprise.

This restaurant gives you most for the money and great food.

Lovely spot for breakfast. Everything on the plate was hot. Brilliant breakfast

The staff are so friendly and kind. The environment is very cute, its a quaint little spot! The food was quite greasy, which I dont like and we didnt know they only accepted cash. So, bring cash. However, the experience here was lovely.

Been going here for breakfast for 10 yrs..great food & great service

Cash Only - A great little place for a nice brunch. Nothing too fancy just food at a good price. There is a bank across the street in case you forget to bring cash. The service was great attentive and kept our coffee cup full. Also, they an awesome old ghetto blaster.

Best in town

Fast service and very friendly . Gives you home like feeling. Along with great prices. Keep up the great service.

Good food and very Friendly

Friendly staff, a good basic breakfast at a good price and newspapers to read while youre eating it. What more could a person want?

I brought my Aunt and Mother here today as per my Aunts request. We walked in, my Aunt was greeted by name by a lovely blonde woman. Once seated she asked my Aunt if she will have the usual, to which she answered yes. On the way to Judys we stopped and had a photo of my Aunts beloved cat enlarged and framed. My Aunt showed the waitress a number of times and each time the waitress would react as if this was the first time to see the photo; Did you take this photo?, What is your cats name ? , What a beautiful photo! Ect. Just wanted to say thank you for making my Aunt happy and making our luncheon such a pleasure.

reasonable menu has plenty of options tasty specials

Always great food. Loving coming for breakfast.
