I love pizza, but this was my first time trying this style and it did not disappoint! The BBQ meat overload 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! read more

Let me just start by saying The food is so great! I had the Mac and cheese with the pork belly it just melts in your mouth the sauce is so good that they paired with the pork belly goes perfect! 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 read more

Found this spot while visiting Julian. They have salads, bbq, pizzas, sides, and of course beer. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have additional seating on the other side as well with tons more seating. They have a bar on the side of the additional seating as well. We came on a Saturday so it was pretty busy so our food took a while to come out. They have self serve ranch, bbq sauce, buffalo sauce, crushed red pepper, grated cheese. Plates, utensils, and boxes for you to grab and go. The margarita pizza was so good. Came out hot and ready and wasn't too oily. The street corn was good. There's so much on the menu I want to come back and try. read more

This was SO GOOD after we hiked around in Anza Borrego. We stopped by Julian in hopes of good cider and apple pie, but we were shocked and amazed by the deliciousness of the BBQ at Julian Beer Co. We got a brisket sandwich, a pork belly sandwich, mac and cheese, and two flights. It was all PERFECT together. The mac and cheese is ooey, gooey, and toasty on top. The sandwiches are balanced with smoky eats, pickles, coleslaw, and a self-serve amount of barbeque sauce. It's all so beautiful. I think that they had such a great selection of beer as well, that even the flight was hard to choose because we wanted to try so many. We got two flights for eight different beers to try and it was still hard to pick. I would highly recommend this spot when in Julian. read more

They have a huge space right in the middle of town with multiple bars and places to sit. The staff at the front were super friendly and helpful. All the food was solid particularly the kielbasa and the macaroni. Definitely a fan of the Japanese lager, Assassin, and their house made cider. read more

We stopped in Julian so my mom could see the town during our drive from Palm Springs to San Diego. Even though this is primarily a brewery, they have excellent food to go with the drinks (I just wish I was able to drink beer!). We ate here last year and enjoyed it, so we came back specifically to try the pizza this time. We are so glad we did! Even though we only ordered three slices of pepperoni, it was very good. Next time, we plan on ordering a whole fresh-made pizza and taking the leftovers with us for later. It's a perfect lunch stop before heading to San Diego or Palm Spring which ever way your traveling! read more

Service was fast, vibes were high. Beer selection is good. Why is this rating so low? This is a BBQ establishment, but the brisket was DRY. It was dry on the pizza, and dry on the brisket sandwich. Do not recommend the bbq pizza. read more

After a long hike, we were starving and stumbled upon Julian Beer Co and boy did it hit the spot. The BBQ is delicious and they have a station to serve your own sauce, including ranch! As someone who often needs to purchase extra ranch, this was a dream! They were busy when we went with a line out the door but it moved fairly quickly and the food didn't take too long either. The inside was a little noisy as you could assume on a busy weekend day but don't worry, they have patio seating! We sat outside on the patio and were able to soak in even more mountain air as we ate. They also have ciders and seltzers in addition to beer, which were great gluten free options for me. read more

I really enjoyed the beef brisket sandwich -- the meat wasn't shredded but served in thick, tender slices that were very flavorful and satisfying. For sides, I tried the elote-style corn and coleslaw. Both were just okay. The corn leaned a bit too moist for my taste, which muted the texture and flavor, but it was still decent. A line formed immediately when they opened, so arriving early was definitely the right move. Fortunately, they offer a QR code at the entrance that lets you order online and skip the line -- a huge plus during busy times. Seating is limited. Inside, there are two large communal benches, plus some bar-style seating on the porch and a single picnic table out front. Be prepared to share space or take your food to go if it's crowded. read more

Everytime I'm in the area, I have to come here to have the granddaddy pep pizza and their amazing ranch. The line is long sometimes depending when you come here. During the holidays, it's so busy that the lines are out the doors. It feels cozy inside during the winter and it definitely gives cabin vibes. There is limited seating inside and an outdoor patio with more seating. This place is a must stop if you're looking for good food! read more

My fiancé and I ALWAYS stop by Julian Beer Co. whenever we're camping at William Heise County Park or Laguna Campground. At this point, it's a tradition. The staff is dope and always in a good mood, and they dress dope too! The Grand Daddy Pep pizza is our go-to and the perfect pizza to share after a day outdoors. My fiancé loves the mead, and I'm a big fan of the Pistol Whipped brew. ALWAYS BUY THE KITCHEN A BEER! read more

Our go to BBQ spot in Julian. Delicious juicy BBQ, hot pizzas, fast and friendly service, great tasting beer selection and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, definitely can accommodate large parties. They do have a parking lot in the back of the restaurant for patrons only. If you do plan on visiting the town of Julian, there is plenty of street parking nearby. Bathrooms on site, which is a plus since a lot of the stores in Julian don't let you use unless you want to wait in a long line for the public restroom. Pet friendly! I do recommend the HUGE Dino rib! We have never been able to finish one and always end up taking leftovers home. Decent price point for food menu items and beer menu rotates every few weeks. Wear stretchy pants, grab a spot to dig in and people watch. You won't be disappointed and your appetite will thank you for it. read more

Fall is a lovely time to visit Julian.  The leaves are turning lovely colors and it is still shorts weather in the daytime.  Our favorite place to eat in Julian is Julian Beer Co.  Manager Garret greets us warmly as does friendly cashier Maghan who is always happy to see us. Wagyu burger was ordered with lettuce.  Wagyu was smoky and well seasoned.  Pretty good burger but I would like it even more with bacon and tomato. Pork belly had a crispy outer layer while the pork was tender and juicy.  Fat had rendered from hours of smoking and had a delicious flavor.  This is among my favorite pork belly ever. Cheesesteak was overflowing with beef brisket.  Excellent beef to bun ratio.  Loved the smoky flavor of the tender beef.  One of the best cheesesteaks I've tasted. Half chicken has crispy skin and full of delicious smoky flavor. We sit outside and watch the clouds drifting by.  Wind rustles the leaves in the trees.  Each month we look forward to our trip to the top of the world for the scenery, hospitality, and awesome food. Feels like home I should have known From my first breath And I thank you for bringing me here For showing me home, for singing these tears Finally, I've found that I belong here Home - Depeche Mode read more

Took the family for a 1/2 day trip to Julian. Seems like this is the top restaurant to try in the area. Been seeing rave reviews on the pizza and wish they had individual slices for other flavors and not just limited to cheese or pepperoni. Ordered the large caesar salad, BBQ ribs, wings. Definitely skip the wings, super dry! Large caesar salad tasted amazing (it's the fresh croutons). BBQ ribs were tender and done right. read more

Stopped by Julian Beer Co. and ordered a few things to share, and honestly everything hit the spot. The JBC cheesesteak was the star of the table -- super loaded, messy in the best way, and full of flavor. The pork ribs were tender with a nice smoky finish, and the mac n' cheese was hot, cheesy, and comforting. We also got the jalapeño popper dip, which had a good kick and went perfectly with the chips. Even the coleslaw was solid and well balanced. Portions are generous, so it's great for sharing, and the laid-back, rustic vibe fits Julian perfectly. Service was friendly and moved pretty quickly even though it was busy. Overall, a great stop if you're in town and craving hearty comfort food. I'd definitely come back. read more

omg came here again late on a weekday night and I was starvinggg! The bbq pizza hit the spot! So cheesy and crispy with tender fatty pieces of delicious brisket. I'm so glad they were open late because I really needed this pizza. I appreciated how fast the service was! The bbq brisket sandwich was loaded, but nothing can beat the pizza. read more

This place is located downtown Julian! Let me tell you this place is popular and the lines are long especially during the fall! The only reason for 4 stars is because we waited more than an hour 1/2. We were a larger party so it was more challenging to find a table . There are plenty of tables / bar tops and tables in the back I just think we went on a crazy busy weekend during lunch time . Someone in line said to go scan the QR code which saved us time and ordered online! Which I recommend!! I didn't take any pictures of the food because we were starving and had waited soo long for food but everything was delicious!! read more

*Local Julian pizza spot * great service * spacious area with outdoor patio When you're in Julian, this spot is an absolute must-stop! Julian Beer Company has become a family favorite for us -- every trip to town includes pizza, wings, and a cold beer. Yes, it's always busy, but honestly, we never mind the wait because the food is always worth it. Megan is so kind and helpful! We love getting the wings, the cheesy bites, and their pepperoni cheese pizza... all so good every single time. If you're in town, definitely check them out! Great vibes, great food, and a go-to spot for a casual, delicious meal. read more

Did an overnight trip in Julian and decided to come here for dinner. The service is good and to the point. It gets super busy so they do a good job at keeping the line moving. We ordered the BBQ Pie pizza and it was insanely good. We also tried a couple of sides which were equally tasty. I'll come back here every time I visit Julian. read more

Cute, warm decor with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Absolutely phenomenal pizza--perfectly crispy with melted cheese that pulls apart. It was the perfect meal in the evening when it's a bit cold outside. The cheesesteak was also delicious, but our favorite was the pizza. Would definitely return to try other pizza options! read more

What's good for lunch in Julian? Sometimes we like to do things differently so... a slice of Dutch apple pie with homemade whipped cream ala mode with cinnamon ice cream- memorable and always a repeat stop for us. We came on Doc's birthday and she had researched BBQ for lunch. Game on!!! There's something about road tripping in the continental U.S. and having their version of barbecue. So many things looked good on their menu so we ordered shishito peppers, watermelon salad, cole slaw, 1/2 pound brisket, 1/2 pound pulled pork, smoked wings and 1/4 rack(3 ribs). Eat here or take out??? We ordered take out. Little did we know there were more seating for dining-in next door at the brewery or some tables out and around the back. The watermelon salad was a novelty for me- not like a fruit salad but cubed with different ingredients. Still fresh, sweet and refreshing. I enjoyed the pulled pork the most of the meats ordered. It was moist, tender and shredded. Even grandpup enjoyed it. Prepping the order gave me time to go check out an antique store across the road. A great choice to take home our midday meal, later than normal lunch time, but still delicious. Now another reason to come to Julian. read more

Had a lovely time in Julian, CA. We enjoyed our lunch at Julian Brewery Co on Main Street. Julian Brewery Co., has pizza, BBQ and more. Here's what we ordered and recommend: -1/2 Brisket, this was my favorite the brisket was tender, fatty, juicy and seasoned well (4.8/5 stars). -Smoke BBQ pork ribs. The ribs were delicious but wished they would've been a bit more juicy. (4.5/5). -Pulled pork had good smoke flavor and seasoning (4.5/5). -The elote "corn" was also delicious 4.5/5). For a busy day, the food came out quickly and the service was great. There's indoor and outdoor seating in the two buildings next to each other. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend trying next time visiting Julian. Happy Yelping :) read more

This is the type of place that reminds me of the popular television series Cheers. The Cheers theme song really encapsulates this eatery. 'Making your way in the world today Takes everything you've got Taking a break from all your worries Sure would help a lot Wouldn't you like to get away?' 'Sometimes you wanna go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You wanna be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name' After each visit I always feel a little bit better than when I came in. Really wonderful people work here! This visit I decided on the hard apple cider which I've grown to really love. A pizza slice and cheesecake for dessert! Yum! read more

I was very impressed! They were busy on a call Saturday. But despite that... we waited in line for maybe 10 minutes, found a table pretty quickly (there is a lot of seating in the building next to the main one... where you can also order food and beer), service was kind a be not negatively hurried, and good came within 15 min. I enjoyed my amber beer. On the darker end of Amber's. The pulled pork sandwich was really good. I enjoyed the Mac (pretty sure it's made with sour cream or something to make it a little more sour). Very casual spot. Would recommend! read more

After reading the reviews on Yelp,we had to try this place. We were not disappointed. I had tge Beef Brisket Sandwich with all the goodies on it. I was hungry and it was filling.

Of course, we had to finish the day off either some Julian Pie and ice cream read more

Fun ambiance with sports and food. Kid friendly. Can eat inside or outside. (I'd recommend outside if not watching the games) The elote salad tasted like Italian dressing.... And the side pickles were sweet. Not my thing. Chicken wings tasted like we just bbq them outside... not my fav. Red IPA tangerine was great. The sandwich was good. Service was great!! Please note you need to order drinks inside and food outside but the guy did both for us. read more

I couldn't make it into the main building because there were steps, so I sat down in the building with the long tables. My friends had to go to the main building and order for me. The building we were in had live music but no air conditioning so we were sweating through our meal and left asap. If you're disabled this might not be the place for you. read more

We decided to take a day trip to Julian. Once we got there, it was lunchtime and we were pretty hungry. The line was super long but thank goodness it moved fast! For pizza ... we ordered the BBQ Pie. OMG ..,. One of the best pizzas I've ever had. The crust wasn't too thick or too thin. It was perfect. It was made with BBQ sauce, Smoked beef brisket, Smoked pork shoulder, Onions, Cheddar & mozzarella cheeses, and topped with green onion. For drinks, I ordered Apple Pie Cider. This was way good! He ordered an IPA. I don't like beer but I did like the IPA there. I can't remember the name. There were plenty of seats around outside and there is a hill behind the restaurant with more seats. We went up the hill and really liked it up there because it was quieter and there was a view! We can see the colorful leaves on the trees of Julian and it felt like we were not in CA! We will definitely return! Standing in line was worth the wait! read more

After a short hike, we stopped by Julian Brew Company, and it was good. Definitely some pros and cons! We ordered the brisket, pulled pork sandwich, ribs, mac and cheese, street corn, and homemade pickles. The brisket was definitely the standout - tender, flavorful, and well worth it. The pulled pork was tasty, but the ribs were a bit on the dry side. The street corn was another highlight - delicious and packed with flavor. However, I'd skip the mac and cheese and dill pickles next time. The beer selection was fantastic, with lots of great choices to pair with the meal. The atmosphere was fun and lively, making it a perfect spot to relax after our hike. Highly recommend checking it out for the brisket and beer! Service was unremarkable and mostly self-serve. read more

Julian beer company during normal hours and time is 5/5 but today they were so crowded and customers were so demanding!!!! The workers were little bit too nervous which its understandable! Just imagine in a cute local small town that everyone knows each other suddenly the tourists are appearing! Ive never seen Julian this much crowded! Its very small town and hosting this crowd of tourist is very hard. Today our half chicken was so raw! It was hard to even chewing it!!!! It was so bad!!!!!!!!! This was our order: 1. Half Chicken -- $13.25 2. Pistol Whipped (Pint) -- $8.00 3. Señorita (Pint) -- $6.00 4. Smoked Wings -- $16.50 * Buffalo * Sweet Garlic Chili * Hot Honey Subtotal: $43.75 Tax: $3.40 Total: $47.15 Reasonably priced-but quality wasn't there at all... read more

Came in right after a nice hike on Volcan Mountain. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and hard cider. The pork was tender and delicious-- it comes plain, but you can add onions, pickles and more for a small extra cost. They have a station with giant tubs of ranch and BBQ sauce that I added to each bite of my sandwich. I love the old town feel of the place and how nice everyone was. Next time I'll try the brisket sandwich and some of their sides! read more
