Judd’s Store

Love this place! Great food and fun treats for people of all ages! The soup was delicious, and the bread sticks are amazing. Don’t leave this place without trying the bread sticks. They sell nostalgic candy and sodas in bottles, and they have hand dipped ice cream as well. A fun treat!

just received my magnalite covered chicken fryer, it’s great! i am looking for a cover for another skillet, or at least a replacement“knob“for the cover… anything like that available?

I love the charm of this old soda shop and I was honestly blown away by the lunch I had. Zucchini & Cheddar Soup sounded questionable to me, but it was like eating Thanksgiving in a bowl, and then dipping a breadstick in that bowl made it even better! They rotate their soups, but they also serve ice cream so definitely a cool place to visit. Seemed like more of a tourist spot to me.

This was the highlight of our St. George visit. For whatever reason, we’ve long ignored the downtown area, but took to Unilocal for some new suggestions, and found this place to be a total gem. The menu is pretty simple: grilled cheese on wheat, soup du jour and breadsticks. Then as an added bonus, all the old fashioned candy and sodas you could hope for and case full of ice cream for the kid in you.
The best thing about Judd’s though, is the way they have maintained its old town charm. Stepping into Judd’s is like stepping back in time. It’s small, it’s charming, it creaks and it’s not to be missed!

Breadsticks are the reason to go here. My favorite soup is never served (chicken fajita) and I’m only partial on what is now being served.

What a cute little store. Reminds you of those old timey soda fountain places (although updated). It just had this wonderful nostalgic feel to it that even I could determine, having never set foot in this place or even heard of it since I live roughly 1300 miles away.
My husband and I ventured away from our Las Vegas vacation to drive to Utah for the day. After lunch at one of the downtown restaurants, we walked around the square for a bit. Did some searching on Google maps regarding nearby ice cream, and Judd’s Store pops up. Walking in, I could immediately tell it was one of those places beloved by the community. It’s extremely small, but the customers were at a relatively steady flow.
I just got a Sprite, but my husband got a chocolate cone. We sat at a table by the window and relaxed. And despite the crowd, it was definitely relaxing. There is an entire wall of different types of soda, which is so much fun. Like brands with vintage labels, and that kind of packaging gets me everytime. Sadly, I didn’t even pay attention to this wall when I first walked in (how I ended up with a Sprite), but if I could do a do-​over, I’d definitely buy one of these instead.
The ice cream was alright. The top layer tasted gritty like it had melted and re-​froze, but once that was gone, it was just fine. They also have a small selection of soups and sandwiches. But the best part of all was the cute little candy section. Nothing brings back your childhood like candy from the General Store.
I just love seeing old historical places like this still doing business. Their website says it’s been around since 1865, and in it’s current building (same site, however) since 1911. I think that’s awesome that the community takes care of this little store, and that it’s still going strong over 100 years later.

Judd’s Store is great. What a selection of fine sodas! They also serve some delicious ice cream, different soups daily, breadsticks, and one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the state. Don’t believe me? Give it a try.
The Store is in its original building which is more than 100 years old. The setting feels appropriate in its location downtown. A fun lunch spot.

Judd’s is an institution. Historical and classic! Love the choice of candy and treats. I’ve been going my entire life. Eating those delicious breadsticks with cheese sauce since I attended Woodward! They have snow cones, soups, cookies, ice cream, and lots of nostalgia. Just wish they still sold balboa bars!

Fun little store/​restaurant. They have a huge selection of unique sodas and candy. We had some soup, breadsticks and grilled cheese and they were all pretty yummy. Kids had fun trying to pick out a drink and some candy. Definitely worth a visit.

Fantasic Tortilla soup and Grilled cheese sandwiches.
Its fun just going in this place, a blast from the past.
Simple and pleasing.
Staff is very attentive and fast.
Yes, we will be back.

My absolute favorite place in the whole world. I grew up riding my bike to this place after school each day begging for samples or free candy haha. Hey as an 8 year old I was definitely on a tight budget. Don’t pass up the coconut and tiger’s blood snow cones or the old fashioned bottle root beer! The ambiance takes you back to a small town, mom and pop corner store. Each time I visit my hometown it seems that this is the ONLY place that never changes. I hope it stays that way.

This is a great little store with tasty malts, soup & a delightful selection of treats. The ambience is great & the staff are very friendly.

God I love this place! It is literally a 100 years old, and thus you have to make some concessions. The seating inside is minimal, and when sitting or browsing the soda and candy you will collide with somebody doing one or the other. People will put their crap on your table while they dig around to pay, and you are likely to see more butts in your face then you ever wanted while sitting and eating. Browsing is like a game of twist.
But OH… forgive them! They carry many old sodas, about 8 shelves worth and they have some cold and ready for you if you like. Everyone giggles at Love Potion 69. My sister was mental for the Japanese marble soda. After we were eating our mother was standing by the soda shelves (not enough room to sit) looking over them again when she flipped: they had nesbits Orange soda, something she hadn’t had since the 1960s. But she wanted the strawberry one. However just knowing they still made it made her day.
The candy is old timey and good (black licorice, fake cigs, unicorn pops). They even have fountain drinks and cherry and vanilla syrup sitting out for you to add as you please. I adore them so!
Other than this they have ice cream, which is sugary (only try superman if you’re a 6 year old who wants diabetes) but very good (can’t go wrong with chocolate!) They have a very limited food menu of sandwiches and soup and bread sticks. But here’s the problem: they’re so popular (and apparently after 100 years still underestimating that) that they run out. They had no sandwiches left when we went at 1pm on a Saturday. But they had tomato soup and breadsticks and it was delicious.
My biggest complaint is not making enough non sugar foods so they don’t run out, and closing at 5 every day… and closing on Sundays. I work: before 5 isn’t happening. I wish they’d expand the hours considering how popular they are.
I’d also like to add the staff was very friendly and helpful. A rarity sometimes!

I love going to old towns that still have original stores from like the 1800’s still up and operating. Judd’s has history in the store as well as right outside of it-​all around it.
Right when we drove up we could see people walking out of the store holding fresh long breadsticks with containers of soup. I knew right away that the breadsticks were a must try even though we were already full from breakfast. As we walked in we noticed all the cool varieties of old time drinks and candies for sale. It is a small store but was packed with people waiting in line for their famous soup and breadsticks.
We were excited to see candy cigarettes and at the counter were big hellah soft pumpkin chocolate chip and chocolate chip cookies. OK those cookies were yummers and the bread was so soft however it didn’t have too much taste but we imagined dunking the breadsticks into their yummy soup and I think that would be perfect.
As we were leaving lots of school children were crossing the street to Judd’s store for a field trip-​NEAT!!!
This is a must try the next time I’m in St. George!!! I must try the soup!!!

Today was my second time grabbing a bite to eat at this darling little old fashioned store. Apparently it’s an original and claims to have been there since the late 1800s.
The shelves are full of candy in bins and buckets, reminiscent of the good ol’ days, when a penny got you enough sugar to power your bicycle for a whole day of adventure.
The counter contains a good variety of hard, hand scooped ice cream and then a small lunch menu. Their staple seems to be soup and bread sticks (which provide an amazing fresh bread aroma when you walk in).
They were offering 3 soups today: chicken fajita, tomato basil and chicken pot pie soup. They also seem to have a rotating sandwich offering. Before when I came I think I had a sloppy joe or pulled pork or something like that. Today they were offering a grilled cheese (on multi-​grain bread with muenster cheese) with a cup of soup, or an Italian meatball with a bag of chips — both for only 4.95, or make it a combo with a drink for $ 5.70. Great deal!
I had the grilled cheese with the chicken fajita soup and just had to throw in a bread stick as well, for 95cents I couldn’t say no.
The grilled cheese was perfectly toasted and very cheesy. No fascinating flavors, but the grainy bread and muenster were just great. The chicken fajita soup was full of giant pieces of red, yellow AND orange peppers, and then just a few pieces of chicken, which was PERFECT for my liking. It had a little spicy zip to the creamy sauce that just hit the spot. I had a bite of my sister’s tomato basil and it was so good I almost regretted my decision, but then I tasted mine again and was still so happy with it that my regret was soon forgotten.
Their bread sticks are more like a long, twisty freshly baked homemade roll. Fluffy and light. It was a nice complement to the soup and I did a little dunking to soak up every last drop.
The line seemed long when we walked in but moved very quickly and everyone was very friendly.
You can’t help but smile at being a little part of history as you either sit at the tables inside — one table is covered with old local newspaper clippings — or sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and decent temps, even in February, as well as the historic tabernacle nearby and other cool views.
I have to say it was a perfect experience in my book.

Fun family store! Good ice cream, breadsticks, candy and drinks. If you want the old drugstore feel… This is a great spot.
