I love pizza, but this was my first time trying this style and it did not disappoint! The BBQ meat…read moreoverload pizza is seriously a bomb. It's packed with flavor, loaded with toppings, and perfectly cooked with a nice crispy crust. The combination of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet BBQ flavors just works so well. Every bite was satisfying and definitely something different from your usual pizza. Great spot to grab a bite while in Julian good vibes, solid food, and a must-try in julian trip!

Service is great as well we were confused before when we first visited but Julian is a small town so some places close pretty early if you wanna try this place do not wait for it to close! Go ahead and try it out before closing! The inside kinda reminded us of game of thrones or Harry Potter with the tables set up in a very awesome way! I have to recommend this place specially if you're in Julian area

I was passing through town and was starving. I stopped at Heroes Wood-Fire Pizza and decided to…read moreeat some what healthy. I ordered a 1/2 or small caesar salad. It was a huge bowl of salad and chicken. that was fantastic! The service and staff were top notch. They let me bring my dog on the patio.

Impressively sturdy paper plates, plastic utensils, and nice napkins for a casual eatery (it's those seemingly simple details that elevate my dining experience)! We paired our pizza with local Julian Hard Cider (22 oz. bottles $14.55 each), which we discovered through Google Maps that their tasting room was just down the street (our next stop)! Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable outdoor dining area. Wish it was closer; we'd definitely visit more often.

Trays full of fresh bread of different varieties, whole pies, a case full of beautiful desserts and…read morebaked goods, plus an excellent lineup of sandwiches, the only problem is what to pick. This has become a go-to spot post-hike in the area and always is the treat I look forward to. On my most recent visit I had the BLT which had avocado, an egg, and chipotle mayo on brioche - hit the spot. Each sandwich comes on a different type of bread, which adds to the flavor profiles for each. Sometimes places just put it all on wheat or sourdough, but I like how the bread is paired to add to the sandwich. There's seating inside and out and always plenty of parking, though I can imagine on the weekend, it's more competitive. Although the spot has been around for a while, I just recently got introduced to it on enthusiastic recommendations from others, so I pass that enthusiastic recommendations onto you.

I read that the owner of the French Gourmet bought Dudley's and promised not to make any changes to…read morethe baked goods.  That does not appear to be the case.  We showed up at 1pm on Wednesday and it was quiet.  In the past there was a big lunch crowd and the shelves were full of fresh baked breads and pies.   Supposedly, breads are baked every other day now.  I bought a loaf of Hawaiian sweet bread and it was at least a day old.  I suspect more like 2 days old.  The outside was starting to get hard while just the center was soft.  There was an aroma of bread sitting around for a while.  King's Hawaiian bread from Costco has a fresher aroma and has a fresher more vibrant flavor while you get twice as much bread for the price. Maggie misses the fresh baked fruit bars and were soft and full of sweet fruit flavor.  Cashier told us they are only baked on Saturday now.  We touched the fruit bars and they were all hard from sitting around half the week.  It's sad as we loved stopping here after a trip to Julian for fresh baked treats and Doc Brown's Root Beer.  Looks like we will have to buy all our baked treats at one of the Julian bakeries like Apple Alley that bakes their pies every morning.  https://www.hungryones.com/2021/10/apple-alley-bakery/ Staff was nice and efficient.

While researching Julian staples to visit/try, I came across this restaurant and was eager to try…read morebased on the "farm-to-table" aspect and not going to lie, the food looked absolutely delicious and amazing. We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

Oh and I did order frozen pot pies to eat at home and I really enjoyed it as well. I know Julian may not be a place many of you thought of checking out but this place alone makes ir worth the drive. The small town of Julian is adorable and I highly recommend you go at some point. They are known for apple everything ~ cider, etc.,

We then waited 45 minutes to get a table. Maybe a cook called in sick or something, there could have been a perfectly reasonable explanation, but seeing half the tables in the restaurant have empty tables whilst sitting outside was deflating. They still have great food and my go to is the pesto, which has super generous portions. But I think this might be my last time here as I will likely be checking out different restaurants in Julian next time I visit.

The service was excellent. Our waitress and Joe both waited on us and helped us make the best decisions. We were feeling a bit adventurous and ordered what they recommended. Joe also surprised us with a yummy dessert for our anniversary and delicious Moka coffee to boot. We will certainly be back! Thank you for helping us celebrate our anniversary dinner. UPDATE: Okay, we stopped by here for a second time for a quick early dinner (same week) and it was delightful once again. We sat on their quaint patio with our dogs this time. It was very peaceful. Could hear many different birds and the church bell. We received a huge surprise when some angel who blessed us with paying for our dinner. Wow, what a special surprise!!! We do not know who it was, but what sweet act of kindness. We will certainly be paying it forward. Thank you to whoever you are and may God bless you immensely!!! Thanks again Joe for a wonderful meal and visit as always! You're the best!! We stay here in Julian around 3 or so times a year for a good couple of weeks. We will surely be back again and again when visiting the lovely town. :)

Julian…read morePie Company has so many different things to offer, you will definitely find something you absolutely need! We already got our pie fix at Mom's, but made this our last stop before heading out. It was so cold out, a super chilly day, there's nothing more perfect than to grab a hot cup of steaming Apple Cider! It hit the spot! I couldn't stop just standing there sipping my hot cider while waiting for our to go items to be prepared. We got two apple cider donuts, one cinnamon sugar and one chocolate dipped. Long ago, I tried these tiny heart shaped pie crust cookies covered in cinnamon and sugar - Apple Memories! These are crisp tiny bites of love that you want to take home every single time! There are actually two buildings. One where you can grab a bite to eat, the other has all the merchandise, and both have whole frozen pies to grab to go! The building where you can dine has a small inside dining area, it can get cozy in there, but on a chilly day, that is exactly what you want! Just outside there is plenty of room outdoors to enjoy the scenery. In the merchandise building I couldn't help myself... we took home a whole gallon of apple cider, and also bought a jar of Cinnamon Apple Honey Spread and a jar of Apple butter... absolute yum! The hubs also decided to try the apple cinnamon chapstick! Yes, you can grab one of these famous pies at many different establishments throughout San Diego. To make name a few, Iowa Farms, Spring Valley Market, Siesel's and even at Vons! But if you're in Julian, don't forget to try a pie, grab some Apple Memories, and don't forget to bring a hot thermos to take that hot Apple cider to go! Enjoy!!! Simply the Best!

Had the Dutch Apple pie, because I wanted something sweeter. It was very good, and served slightly warm.
