Was very disappointed, wasn't a buffet more like a lunchroom. Food was cold and you had to pay for every individual item. If you wanted seconds you had to pay again. read more

My husband and I love little private owned restaurants. They usually have the best food. This place did not disappoint us at all. The service was nice the food was amazing. I can't even tell you what I liked most. The fried chicken was better than I have ever had it and I can still taste those fried green tomatoes. The service was friendly and they seemed to stay pretty busy. When I first walked in and looked around I was thinking uh-oh we made a mistake. The furniture is mis matched and the buffet looked small. What they lacked in decor and size they made up for in taste. I can't rave about the food enough. I will definitely we going back even if I have to drive 2 hours out of the way just to eat. Sorry there is no pictures but I was too busy stuffing my face to photograph it. read more

We stopped at Julia's for breakfast on the recommendation of Yelp. We were pulling a trailer so needed a larger place to park. All was well. Breakfast was good and parking not a problem. Interesting buffet arrangement but all worked well with local charm. read more

I was really disappointed. The food was ok. Could have been cleaner. Staff was friendly enough. Price was fair. But all the food was over cooked or deep fried. read more

I just ate a great breakfast at Julia's restaurant. The food was hot and the price was great. The service was excellent. The restaurant is buffet style. I will definitely go back. read more

Stopped in here for lunch while driving to Florida. The Buffett was outta control man. Julia goes hard in the paint! Meatloaf, mash, okra, green beens, and macaroni were all fantastic. Our drinks arrived in about 3 seconds after sitting down and refills were there before my glass was half empty. Super nice and friendly wait staff in there. Highly recommend! Will return again if I find myself back in Troy. read more

Nothing fancy. All one price. But if You want good southern food and all you can eat this is a great place. Lots of folks inside and everyone enjoying it. So if you need 1/2 hour break on the way to the beach do yourself a favor and stop in read more

I did not realize that it was ONLY a buffet. My mistake. We almost left to find somewhere else, but that would have meant a Waffle House. We decided to stay. The food was decent. I enjoyed their smoked sausage links, the pancake, the eggs did not come out of a box, hashbrown casserole was ok too. Our server was really nice. read more

The staff is nice, link sausage was really good. Everything else was pretty bad. It was around 8:15 when we went for breakfast and it was all mostly cold. Biscuits are tasteless and dry. Personally wouldn't go back. read more

Skip the unimpressive lunch and go early for a very good (and very greasy) breakfast buffet. Prices are a bit high, but this is probably due to Julia's being an all-you-can eat buffet. The breakfast buffet is large, with a great selection of Southern breakfast items, making Julia's one of the best spots to get a good sit-down breakfast in Troy. read more

If you asked my very southern family, they'd rate this place 5 Stars, but it just didn't cut it for me, except the service--which was down-home Southern polite! 4 Stars for service alone, but the food--BLEH! You can decide from the buffet items for $7.65 Grits Frozen Biscuits Bacon Deep Fried Southern Style Bacon ((EWE)) Sausage Links and Patties Scrambled Eggs Country White Gravy Potato Cubes (as hashbrowns) Name Brand cold cereal Fresh fruit Made to order French Toast & Pancakes Cinnamon Rolls The scrambled eggs and regular bacon were edible, as were the baked frozen-style biscuits, but the pancakes were gross--the batter was not mixed properly and the bottom of one of them was complete powder and inedible. My sister raved over the French Toast, but I did not find it to be of "Over the Top" quality. The syrup was not very good to me either. The cinnamon rolls were about medium in size. They looked good, but were very hard, & just not pleasant to eat. I would not have chosen to eat here. I don't really care too much for dining at a buffet style table, but majority rules on road trips. I would not dine here again. read more

This is one of the best restaurants with authentic southern food! Lunch buffet $10. Unbelievable read more

Julia's Restaurant - Awesome! Couldn't eat it all - Southern Near Me - Troy, Alabama

This is the absolute worst place I've ate at while in the south. I love southern cooking but wow! Everything was hard/burned/overcooked. There was no seasoning whatsoever. It's all you can eat. My husband and I had 1 plate of food each (which neither of us could finish) & our son had 2 plates but he must have been hungry because even he said McDonald's would've tasted better. Service was mediocre at best. read more

We tried the breakfast buffet it was good. Good price. My favorite this was the coffee! Loved their coffee! Staff was decent.

Awese buffet! 10.99.great.home.cooking local favorite!!!whole catfish Cajun shrimp boil and. Blueberry cobbler with ice cream tonight!

Not good...less choice..higher price..less quality...blaming covid doesn't help..sick within 45 minutes diarrhea

Very nice reception at door. Feels like a down home place that all the locals congregate. The buffet was good had a wide selection of food (DoNot )go if you are looking for a dainty light breakfast. This is a true Buffet you shouldn't leave hungry! Will go back if I am ever in area again read more

Would give zero stars if I could. Husband said the fried catfish and mashed potatoes/gravy were good. I tried the grilled chicken tenders which were seasoned horribly and way too salty. Between us we had turnip greens, green beans and yellow squash. Those 3 vegetables were also terrible and again, way too salty. They were literally not fit to eat. The "corn bread" was a flat disk of hard corn meal. Awful! We will never be back and would warn anyone away from the food. That said, the staff was very friendly. read more

I don't expect much from buffets because they usually have a large variety of nontantilizing food. Considering the restaurant is a buffet the food was pretty good. Spare ribs, fried and BBQ chicken, and fish. Not too many items on the buffet which to me is a plus (they focus on a few items and put more effort into the quality of the food). The dessert bar was the best part. They had fresh baked cherry, apple, and berry cobbler.....YUM! read more

I drove through Tory on the way to the beach and stopped here to eat. Needless to say, the food was gross and I hate two rolls and saltine crackers for lunch. The people were very nice and very friendly but could not overcompensate for the taste that my tongue had to endure. read more

Service was great, food was terrible! Everything was bland and over cooked. The quality of food was frightful! Restroom was acceptable. Would not recommend. read more

This was a good visit. We arrived at this location around 12:30 pm. It was very, very crowded on this Mother's Day. Although it was crowded the line kept moving. Wonderful host Megan greeted us with a smile and inviting conversations. The buffet stations popping steam and the aroma of fresh cooked food was was like come on in, sit down and have some. Very quaint place. The staff: very attentive even with the crowd. The food, I tried a sample of everything. Salad to the dessert the food was delicious from start to finish. My server was Shauna and she was fabulous! I would have given it 5 stars. But a non smiling server picked a towel off the floor and placed it on the beverage counter. She then walked to the back. I wondered why she didnt take the towel to the back with her. I will still go back. read more

Best breakfast buffet I've ever been to! That's saying a lot for someone who isn't big on breakfast food. Excellent service, friendly staff and the most delicious home cooking. Also very reasonably priced. You will not regret it! read more

Yummy located in Troy Alabama really tasty food and hardly any wait because they really just have a buffet their cobblers are to die for they are so good and their chicken and dressing and their catfish is super good I recommend and they also have a great breakfast buffet too if you want that..... read more

Very clean, excellent food and super sweet staff! The best southern cooking and hospitality we've come across. So glad we found this gem enroute home from the beach! read more

Came across Julia's on the way home from the beach. Only offer buffet but it was a great country lunch! Fried chicken, sweet rolls, mashed potatoes and so on. Also a great salad bar. My 11 year old son who is very picky eater loved it. read more

We went for the buffet lunch on a Wednesday & it was crowded,but we didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes. Salmon Crowcets were great, but the fried chicken was out and we could never get any. read more

Visited this place on our way to Panama City because we saw several ads about them being "the best breakfast buffet in town." Albeit, in a town this size, it may be the only one. Long story short, what a hidden gem this place is. Hands down the best bacon and sweet tea I have ever had the pleasure of diving into. They also had deep fried bacon, but I didn't venture into that. Whether you're from around Troy or just driving through, the breakfast is an awesome deal for $8.99. read more

Great southern lunch buffet. Maybe 10 different meats, 6 or 8 vegetables, good salad bar, several desserts. Always kept stocked with fresh servings. Attentive friendly staff. I stop almost every time u am driving through town. read more

This is the second time we have stopped here on our way to Panama City. The buffet & salad bar is delicious. Lots to choose from & the homemade peach cobbler and banana pudding with ice cream was great. 23.96 for 2 and that includes drinks. Some of the best sweet tea I've ever had too. The hostess was very friendly & the service was awesome.They also have a big lot in the back that made it easy to park our truck & 20' airstream. Will definitely stop again when we come thru. read more

My favorite restaurant in Troy! Delicious southern cooking. Always hot and ready to eat. I've hardly ever had to wait to be seated, even during Sunday lunch rush. read more

Stopped here while passing through on the way to Florida. The food was very hot (but not too hot) and the buffet was always stocked! I had the pulled pork, crab salad, green beans, mac n cheese, rice, a dinner roll, and a sweet potato. Everything was delicious. The pork was sweet and I enjoyed it best with my soft, warm dinner roll. The rice was flavorful. The crab salad was yummy as well, though it could've been a little bit creamier. Mac n cheese tasted home made, so that's a win! The sweet potato was a little under cooked. The green beans were buttery and delicious. I also tried a piece of my mom's fried catfish and it wasn't dry, unlike most other places. The service is nice. From appearance standpoint, the place was well-kept but in all honesty the floor could've been vacuumed. They had about six options for desert, including ice cream. It wasn't terrible, but I definitely enjoyed my meal more. read more

I have to say I'm thoroughly disappointed with my experience at Julia's. To start, the food was sub par. The pasta tasted rancid and the Blueberry cobbler looked like a paste. To top off my experience, I go to pay for the "buffet" and the person behind the counter rolled her eyes at me for using a debit card. She swiped my card and I entered my pin but it doesn't go through. She then huffs and tells me that "maybe I should enter my pin in correctly next time." I held my tongue but I know I didn't enter the wrong code. And even if I did, she should have asked to run the card again in a professional manner. I enter it a second time and she said "see, it helps to know what your doing." For a $12 meal, I'm sad to say my experience was nothing short of unsatisfactory. I was not impressed with the food but I could have left in a fair mood had it not been for the unnecessary rudeness of the cashier. I understand that everyone has their bad days but customer service is the job you sign up for in the food industry. I will not return to this establishment again. If I could give it a 0 star I would. I hope others will have a better experience than me but I have such a sour taste in my mouth from all of it that I won't be giving them a second chance. read more

Stopped eating here couple years ago after terrible food and unfriendly staff. Came back (we live in Pike County) in October with 3 relatives who insisted on it because they last ate here a few years ago too, and wanted a lunch buffet and were willing to try Julia's again. So, we decided to do the lunch buffet.The salad bar: lettuce was all brown and some of the side items had who-knows-what in them. I ate nothing but vegetables-or tried to anyway. Their pears with mayo and a cherry on them was disgusting-the pears were like trying to gnaw on a rock-extremely hard. My aunt had 2 long hairs hidden in her food and almost tossed her cookies after finding them. She let a waitress know (after failing to get anyone to stop 2 seconds)-the waitress took her plate away and never said a word. My aunt decides to go get another plate of something different from the first mistake and it too had a long hair (same individual?) in the food! My uncle's plate had a piece of old food stuck to it from a previous century. Then a large church group came (saw their vans) and as they were all lined up to hit the buffet, saw 2 of them show the others their silverware-had old food stuck to it! We got up and left no tip, paid our bill (the cashier was also unfriendly), Never again. read more

This was our 2nd time here for a weekend dinner, and Julia's didn't disappoint. We love the whole fried catfish, grits, and fried shrimp - they were fresh and cooked just right. The steaks were a perfect medium rare and were well-seasoned. Blueberry and peach cobblers really hit the spot at the end, though I was so full I could only manage a bite of each. We look forward to trying their breakfast buffet. The only things missing are some cooked greens and fresh fruit. read more

The staff is friendly and checks to see if you need anything even when they are busy! The buffet had a good selection to choose from. What I liked most was the peach cobbler and fresh hot coffee. read more

Future trips thru Troy will skip fast food and chain restaurants. Julia's buffet has excellent choices for lunch, good service, good price, home style cooking. Will be back. read more

This is a great place to eat..you can park in the back..there is a entrance door there also..Great Service..Friendly Folks..

This is a great country buffet. It's a have to every time were back in town.

Pretty good buffet. Some very interesting very southern items. They need a few more vegetables and don't go looking for anything healthy.
