Stopped by for a late lunch. This cafeteria style spot has a small menu of good home cooking. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes. The atmosphere is like stepping into your great grandmother‘s house and sitting down at the kitchen table for a quick bite of lunch. Staff was all local and very friendly.

We love finding old places like this that still exist and even more so when the Food is so Amazing. I had the Fried Chicken Breast, Chicken Livers, Salisbury Steak and Mashed Potaoes with Green Beans Corn and Cornbread and all of it was great! Cant wait to come back and try the rest.

When you're looking for a quiet place, at a reasonable price for a home cooked comfort food lunch, try Julia's. Located on main Troutman Rd, Julia's has been a long-time home style buffet with tasty fried chicken. When you're very hungry, this might be your place. Understand they might be under new ownership, so support your local businesses.

It had been years since I've been to this place. Went today with work. The food is absolutely delicious as I remembered. Sweet tea on point. I have missed this little piece of home. If you want home cooked food in a cozy environment. This is your place.

Upon arriving we were greeted by a very friendly lady who explained the different dining options. Reasonably priced home cooked good. Definitely recommend the fried chicken, fish, green beans, and macaroni and cheese. For dessert we had strawberry shortcake which was enough for two. We will return when in the area.
