I sat at the counter and my server was great... very friendly and happy I was there. I got there around 7:30AM and it was basically dead, but by the time I left, there was a steady line of folks coming in. Their menu has all the typicals that these places have, many things I enjoy. I tried their corned beef hash (which I requested well-done with jalapeños added), scrambled eggs with cheese, and I also got a side of their breakfast potatoes with sausage gravy on top. The food came out quickly and was piping hot & freshly made. The quantity of potatoes for a single side dish were HUGE! Definitely enough to share. The scrambled eggs were PERFECTLY made! I'm an egg snob, I never want any over-cooked egg visible (no brown) and these were perfectly colored and tasted great. The corned beef hash was good as well. Overall, I enjoyed this visit and I would most definitely return!

I got the sausage gravy over home fries for the first time and I have never had anything like it - it was warm and salty and had a nice crunch with the cooked home fries. The pancakes were obviously delicious as well. We got helped right away by an amazing server and our food was out within 15 minutes! There were a lot of people but the noise level was great and everyone seemed to be having a yummy and amazing time.

Julie's Diner on Brewerton I'm always a big fan of diner…read morefood and Julie's was just what I was craving. The restaurant was fairly busy on a Sunday morning but with a little wait time I was able to get a table for two. The tables are bit crowded when it's a full house and the interior could use a makeover. I got their waffle and scramble combo. I prefer my waffles a bit crispier and bacon a bit chewier but everything had that great diner taste. Everything was priced fairly in my opinion. The stuffed French toast was most definitely stuffed! I enjoyed the bite I got. I do wish the homefries were crispy, they were a bit soft and mushy. For my breakfast dessert I tried the red velvet muffin. It had some cream cheese filling and chocolate chunks inside as well. Good muffin and it wasn't dry. I'd recommend Julie's if anyone wanted a new diner to enjoy :)

I've been going to Julie's Diner for years as have most local diner lovers. We had a good…read moreexperience during our last visit. The place was packed because it was the weekend but we were able to sit pretty quickly because we don't mind sitting at the counter. The service was fine just again it was packed & the waitresses were trying their best so it took a little bit of time for some things but in a very realistic & understandable way. My meat lovers omelette was okay. It was kind of just an egg with a bunch of meat bits in pouring out which isn't bad. Again I know they were packed but just the tiniest bit more intention would have been appreciated on that plate. The cheesecake French toast special blew my flippin' mind. That was possibly the single best French toast I've ever had. The way the cheesecake element was incorporated was almost like a sauce poured over the French toast. The fresh strawberries, whipped cream & graham cracker dusting made me feel like I was eating a piece of cheesecake but in a whole new way. I would go back just if I knew that French toast was on special again.

Yes, please!!!! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with hush puppies. DANG! Beyond good and the sandwich was huge. Had more than enough for dinner later that day.

The regulars are the regulars which is so nice to see because it reminds me of going out to breakfast with my dad & my papa growing up. It's a small place in a great way that you hear the buzz of conversations, your coffee gets topped off on the regular, you can hear them making the meals in the kitchen. We've gone for many a meal but this last one I had took the cake. It was homemade chicken biscuits & gravy that I devoured as soon as they set my plate down. We've had many a breakfast & lunch there that we've had a variety of great things- kielbasa breakfast, breakfast sandwiches, club sandwiches, hotdogs, the list goes on. My boyfriend also likes to get a slice of pie every now & again because they're all homemade. You have to make sure you get there early or order the pie first sometimes though because once it's gone it's gone. A great place that's worth the wait if there is one. Also every day is better if you get Maryanne as a server. Absolutely fantastic person.

Be sure to leave room for a slice of pie, always a delicious addition to a meal.

I love it here…read more There's a grandma running the front of house, a grandpa back in the kitchen, and because school was off that day, a grandson was helping grandma run food. Everyone was super sweet (although the little kid was pretty shy), everything is super affordable (feels like the prices haven't changed in years), and best of all, super tasty. The place feels lived in. Really comfortable booths, classic swivel stools by the counter (some were out of service), and the decor also hasn't changed in years...maybe decades. It felt like we were the only people in the place that Grandma didn't know, and the only people that didn't know the menu by heart. She was kind enough to bring us a couple menus along with water and coffee, and let us know the specials. We opted for the fish fry dinner (comes with fries, slaw, bread), a chicken patty, eggs and hash, and a Greek salad. Everything was great. The salad and the dinner both came with actual fresh baked bread and butter, the chicken patty was basically a giant chicken finger on a bun that my girls loved, the eggs and hash breakfast was classic and perfect, and the Greek salad was excellent. Everything was well-seasoned, well-cooked, and came out quick. We were looking for a classic diner not too far off the Thruway, so we wouldn't have to go too far out of our way. This place is EXACTLY that, and I love it so much that we'll probably go out of our way to come back.

At first the location seems less than promising, but inside the little touches of decor make for a charming, if not polished experience. It is still largely a bar that serves food, but the food is impressive in both quality and low price. The little details like in-house made desserts, house ranch dressing, and hand cut fries are a pleasant surprise. The organization behind staggered brunch seating lends itself well to good availability of items, freshness, and service. The menu includes frequently updated seasonal choices. This is also a LGBTQ+ bar. Brunch menus are regularly posted on Facebook, and the process for text message based reservations is convenient. Possibly one of the most surprisingly good restaurants in the greater Syracuse area.

Not a bad place and prices are fair.
