We stop here every trip to Nashville, it's just south of town. Get the cowboy beans and sausage or the platter to sample several items. Good specials and beers. Cool honkytonk atmosphere. Great sauce, feels much like a BBQ in Texas!! Not a place for kids really.

I went to Judge Bean's with a business associate from the local area. Being from out of town, I had never eaten there nor had my associate. We were both pleasantly surprised. I had one of the combinations and got pork and brisket. The pork was a little on the fatty side for my taste but it was very good.... More

Passing through on our trip and like to try local establishments. I had the tacos, one chicken and one brisket. The chicken was really good, but the brisket on the other hand was cold and greasy. The beans were great, the mac and cheese not so great. Overall, the food was OK, but I don't know if I'd go back... More

It was buy one get one free so I never went thirsty - so 2 draft shiners for $4 total...starting off pretty good eh? Next... More

Loved absolutely everything about Judge Beans! We had a fabulous meal (too much - as my husband likes to say we left stuffed), great friendly staff - I'm going again tonight!

Nice smokey flavor on the half chicken, Great BBQ beef and we found the ribs to be really good, Cowboy beans were spicy, and salads were cool and tasty. Good quick friendly service too. There is a reason they have been in business so long.

The bar-b-que was good but not great. Overpriced for the quality of the food. Food was warm but not hot.

Wow! It'd be hard to beat this place--a true Nashville gem! Great food. Good service. Fair prices. Try the chicken wraps and the spicy baked beans.

The brisket was excellent. Good service and food. I didn't care for the smoked salsa that seems to be a speciality. Everything else we had was great though!

My first impression of this restaurant was that there was dried BBQ sauce on my chair and table. The menus were also sticky and the service was friendly but not the greatest. We felt that the sauce was a bit sweet on the ribs for our liking. Sauce flavors are very subjective like coffee and wine preferences. The brisket really... More
