I always look for green beans on a menu at a barbeque joint, it's key to the BBQ experience for me. Judge Beans gots the beans! And they were delicious! Also, if you're going to serve pulled chicken, you really should offer the white sauce. That's what MAKES pulled chicken. Judge Beans has that, too. Their white sauce has a thick consistency, and if not the best I've ever had, it's pretty freaking close. Can't think of a better one off the top of my head...if you've never had white sauce, try it. Unless you hate mayonnaise, then don't try it. White sauce is mayonnaise based and sometimes has a little horseradish. It's SO good on poultry. Now...I had the the pulled pork plate with green beans, obviously, and fried okra. The fried okra was really crunchy and delicious, and at least half a pound of it on my plate. The hubby got the pulled pork and pulled chicken plate with turnip greens and mac n cheese. That white sauce though...🤤 he also really liked the BBQ sauce that came with the pork, it's more of a vinegar based sauce, which is not my thing. But they had a thick sweet on the table and that IS my thing. And it was good with a little of that vinegar based mixed in. It came served on those shallow metal trays which are perfect for barbeque. Plenty of space to experiment with the sauces. They also have their own Judge Beans pepper sauce you could mix in for a little extra kick. We both had the sweet tea, it wasn't overly sweet, so it was really good. I really wanted to try the sweet potato fries, but I knew I would never finish HALF of what I had on my plate. So, next time, I'm getting those for sure. There were so many yummy looking items on the menu and not enough room in our stomachs. They also had a full service bar, saving that for next time as well. No idea if they have dessert, didn't make it that far. 🤣
Now we discuss the staff. It's a seat yourself kind of place but we were still greeted at the door by Emma. She cleaned our table, brought us menus and silverware, took our drink order and then gave us plenty of time to review the menu without us feeling forgotten. She constantly acknowledged us and checked on us. I observed her with the other patrons and there was an older gentleman with a LOT of questions and she was so kind and patient with him and incredibly helpful. She was thorough in her explanations and brought us to go boxes and a bag to put them in, that's actually important information because most places don't give you a bag and without a bag our leftovers would have been on the ground in the parking lot. I'm known for dropping food. 😬 Anyway Emma was exceptional and we'll definitely be back.
