9 Best American Restaurants in Julian

“A little gem near Julian (which, imo, lacks good food...) Next to the 79, Chef Jeremy proposes a fun & tasty menu and at very decent price. The outdoor patio provides a relaxing Sunday retreat and the service is friendly & efficient. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the menu. Cheers!”

“This is a must visit cafe! We went right at lunch time and were sat immediately. I had their tuna curry sanwhich and salad combo. My husband thinks they are the best burgers in San Diego. The little ones like their variety of grilled cheese. My folks enjoyed a BLT and sweet potato fries. Everything we had was delicious! We often come in the winter for their Thai curry chicken soup after a day of snow fun.”

“This place is simple amazing! The service by the staff especially our server, Emily, was exceptional! The food quality was incredible and the portion size was very generous. We sat outside on the newly renovated deck that overlooks Lake Cuyamaca. The atmosphere adds so much to the total experience. We will be making this a regular outing of ours. I highly recommend this place!”

“While visiting Julian , CA it's hard to not go for a cup of afternoon tea in this cottage built back in the 1800's that oozes vintage vintage! We decided to do the tea for two plus one child which totaled to about $61, which I think wasn't too pricy considering we were pretty full at the end of our tea party, so worth the price and experience !The decor is just amazing and takes you back to an authentic historical period , I mean imagine going back in time and having tea in the cottage dressed in 1870's gear just tea-ing it with your girlfriends... too cute ! The service was very on point... the young lady helped us make a good decision on our tea selection from the menu. She was very kind and tea knowledgeable. The store is equipped with millions upon millions of tea items , tea time trinkets.... Honey ... did I mention tea ? There is a wall of tea!At the end we were gifted with some small satchel of tea, which I though was pretty nifty. I recommend parking at the back of the property as it may be very difficult to find parking on the main streets at times .This is my second visit to the tea house and I must stay I enjoyed both visits and could literally spend hour there just going through each item!”

“Excellent pies just like grandma made, well... in this case, Mom made. You can get hot cider to go with it on a cold day and the pie is served warm, with a dollop of ice cream if you choose. There are a few tables inside or several outside if the weather is nice.”

“THE MAC N CHEESE! The food here is out of this world. The counter service was efficient and friendly, and indoor and outdoor bench, bar & table seating was super family friendly and not too rowdy-loud. Thoroughly enjoyed the tender juicy and flavorful kielbasa, the delicious pulled pork sandwich, and our root beer float to finish!”

“It is absolutely deliciousWe ate the fried chicken and waffle, and it was super good. The waffle feels like cotton candy in the mouth is just melts ✨ and the chicken, I would recommend to order de gravy with it, absolutely worth it. The service was amazing the waiter was really nice and friendly.Excellent service ??”

“This place is a gem hidden in the woods. Wonderful food for prices lower than you'd expect for the quality, and the service was phenomenal. The ability to buy the kitchen staff a round at the end of their shift is amazing as well. 5 stars all the way.”

“Keep in mind we went here on a busy morning with only one waitress(they were not expecting the crowd from the Starfest event that ended early that morning). So it might have been due to that, I'm not sure, but easiest description of the food and coffee is average, best description would be like eating at Denny's. But the atmosphere made up for it or I would have given it a 3 instead of a 4 star rating.Pancakes were a little too dense and dry for my liking, they soaked up too much syrup or too little there seemed to be no in between.”
