Wow we paid 100 dollars for the most epic worst meal for 2 and a baby. We didn’t dare to eat it. We just took in plates and left it on the street because the food was undercooked, with no salt and the beef ribs tasted funny like they were not in good shape.

Service is very nice, ambient is too but really the food is beyond what I can imagine as a bad meal, specially after waiting almost one hour outside to eat and then other 45 minutes inside to get our Food.

The restaurant has a good atmosphere. Unfortunately that is the only positive about the restaurant. The French Dip was completely inedible, the pulled pork sandwich was so greasy it was disgusting, the fish and chips were burnt and almost no fish. The server never came back to the table to offer refill on any drinks, all the fries were at least a day if not 2 days old. The list just goes on and on. Do not go here. Plus they added charges to our bill. We never asked for onions or Swiss on the French dips we ordered but we're charged for it anyway, also they choose your tip, it's apparently included in your bill. Avoid at all cost.

Food was good but the fries were very crispy to the point where they were almost burnt. Very good pulled pork though .

The food was really bad. Don't eat here even if Julian is busy. Go wait in line somewhere else. Everything we got was greasy and either over cooked or undercooked. The servers seemed depressed and of course never asked how our food was. They knew it was all bad too.

I have eaten some bad food, but this was definitely one of the worst restaurants I have ever eaten at. The mashed potatoes were definitely instant potatoes, gravy was out of a can/jar. My kids got French fries, they were soggy and not cooked all the way. Pretty sure their fryer was not to temperature. My son’s chicken nuggets were inedible, the flavor was nothing like a chicken nugget. For the price you pay, I expect some edible food. I will have nightmares for weeks. The waitress never came back after dropping off the food because she knows it so bad. I feel bad because I want to support local restaurants, but this place needs to read the reviews and fix their kitchen and food product.

The world's WORST chicken pot pie! Do not order. If my niece and I hadn't been so hungry after waiting 40 minutes for our food, I would/should have sent it back. Another customer left 3/4 of theirs not eaten, but he had other food to eat. The crust was OK but barely covered the top. It seems like the kitchen ran out of pot pies and rather than letting customers know this, the cook improvised using vegetable beef soup, unthickened, threw in a few pieces of boiled chicken and corn and served soup in a pot pie! It was horrible. The menu stated "worlds best chicken pot pie"! It was absolutely the worst. Luckily, my sister had a yummy salad with chicken which she enjoyed. After this experience, I won't be returning to eat at the Rong Branch in Julian again. I don't trust their cooks to serve food that is satisfactory anymore. I'm very disappointed. Moral of this story...do not eat what isn't satisfactory at a restaurant. Leave. Do not pay for badly made food even if you're "starving". However, their fudge and gift shops are worth a visit. The Rongbranch did me rong!

Worst breakfast I've ever eaten. Don't even think the eggs were real. Food looked like it was taken from a freezer and heated up. Biscuits and chicken fried steak were horrible. Avoid at all cost.

This was genuinely some of the worst food I've had out in a long time. We waited over 40 min for our food to come out. The chicken fried steak was inedible. It was extreamly rough and hard to cut through, the gravy was gross and made with pizza type sausage, and the hashrowns where basic frozen patties. My chicken sandwich tasted stale or frotbitten and was extreamly dry. Like beef jerky dry. I asked for grilled onions and they came out literally bunt and dryed out. The frys were burnt and soggy from the oil. We couldn't finish our food it was so gross and would never recommend anybody to go there. Also the place was fithly with food and napkins on the ground below out table. Our waitress was kind and friendly however. Most of that wasn't her fault.

The plus was when the rest of the town had a 1 hour wait to be seated we were able to get seated right away here and our waitress was very nice. The restaurant has a cool throwback style that fits the town very well. The main down is the food and the effort around it was uninspired.

What a gem! After a disappointing experience at another place (Juliane Bakery), we decided to try Rongbranch, and it was fantastic. The food was delicious, the portions generous, and the prices incredibly reasonable. The service was friendly and efficient, making our meal even more enjoyable. We were so glad we found this spot and will definitely be back next time we're in town. Highly recommend!
