been by numerous times but never open for breakfast, saw a bill board coming into town that said - Breakfast served Fri & Sat 8:00 so I went. Nice country restaurant, has a cozy feeling. About 10am Friday - seated immediately, very friendly staff. Had 2 eggs over med. Country fries steak, home fries (deep fried potato chunks) & toast. Pepper gravy was typical - needed salt all & all a good breakfast & price.

Good value! Food: the best! Fried green tomatoes, chicken rice soup, biscuits, pickle hamburger all top notch. Server was very attentive. Comfortable, country atmosphere. Only wish they had Coke instead of Pepsi products.

Sure wish I could give more Stars! Julie's Place is a throwback to the feeling of yesteryear, with a dash of modern thrown in where necessary. Visiting some dear ol' friends, I can thank them for the plan to take me here. Even the anticipation was mouthwatering! We arrived right after the Saturday lunch rush, so we got right in. Greeting, seating then eating! The place was still busy, including a nice group of firefighters with their shiny red fire truck. Thank you for your service! My very FIRST impression? How incredibly nice all of the staff was! Everyone that passed by welcomed us, with genuine enthusiasm. BONUS. They all laughed at MY goofy humor. Another cool note? Most of the staff's shirts bore some witty saying, so that helped me feel right at home. For sure. (I've included pics!) Food. What about the food, dude? Oh. Yeah... Our party of 4 foodies went on a menu trek. The trail began with a Combo App order. You can choose two half order appetizers. We chose Fried Green Tomatoes and Fried Mushrooms. The mushrooms were sliced, which was different from the usual fried buttons. But a nice take on the theme. Delicious. To me, Fried Green Tomatoes are the heartbeat of any down home Southern meal. And that first bite of Julie's version was a rush of adrenaline, food wise. WOW! Crispy outside, sweet & ultra juicy inside. BEST I've ever had. Period. Bravo! Our J's Place saving grace, our server extraordinaire, her name is Chloé. Google 'great service', you'll get a picture of Chloé. Food. What about the food, dude? Here we go. I got the Chicken Fried Chicken with smashed taters and pinto beans. Good stuff. The other three got, in order, the meatloaf, the Strawberry Pecan Chicken salad and the Patty Melt. All three thumbs up! I'm a huge fan! Julie's in July. Julie's any time! Julie's has a Place... in my heart.
