Judd's Downtown

Judd's Downtown is an independent restaurant and bar at 117 E. Tyler Street in downtown Longview, serving creative American fare. Longview native and longtime restaurateur Judd Byrnes opened it with business partner Tommy Chacko, holding a soft opening on New Year's Eve heading into 2021. The menu runs from burgers, sandwiches and salads to steaks, chops, salmon and pasta, with Saturday brunch and a full-service bar known for its whiskey and bourbon selection. Local chef Ronald Porter, a trained pastry chef, helps drive the kitchen and the dessert case. Byrnes' aim was a downtown anchor that works just as well for a family lunch, weekend brunch or an evening drink.
