Been a frequent customer of Julie's for many years now. The food and service never disappoints if it does they make it right. Seeing they had a new item on the menu, prime rib I decided to try it. It was very tasteful and seasoned with a good crust. The basket of fried mushrooms as an appetizer was very fresh and fried perfectly. Their cream corn is one of my favorites. The restaurant is cute and decorated in a way that it makes you feel very comfortable. read more

Delicious food, big variety and great service. We had never been there before but based on the reviews on Yelp, we tried it. It's a cozy, home like establishment with lots of thoughtful words on all of the walls. Julie herself stopped by our table to make sure we were happy with our meals. We'll be back! read more

Oh my goodness! If you're ever in the Murphy, NC area make sure to treat yourself to Julie's Place. The food, the service, the atmosphere, etc. is all super sweet and amazing! My husband and I aren't the kind of people who like to eat at chain restaurants when we're traveling. We were visiting the area because of a death in the family. The owner, Julie, treated our family very well and I couldn't be more grateful. We got to eat here several times during our stay. Oh man. The first day, hubs had a grilled cheese and tomato soup while I did the soup/salad combo that was a house salad and their house made chicken and dumplings. We left very full! Those dumplings are some of the best I've had. On another visit, hubs got the catfish while I got the kids' portion of popcorn shrimp. It was more than enough shrimp for me. It came with a side (fries) and I still couldn't eat it all! The portions are very generous! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his catfish with fried okra and fried squash. The menu is very large and everything looks/sounds good! There are sweet painting and signs all over the restaurant - especially sunflowers! It's definitely a very small town family run restaurant and I LOVE it! The prices are great too! I promise that if you visit Julie's Place you won't be disappointed. read more

First time for this place. We split the meatloaf special since we saw how many people were leaving with boxes of leftovers. We were also just passing by and did not have a cooler with us. The waitress brought our waters (tea was $3.29) and brought an extra plate. The food was hot and we just split the meal and still left food behind. It was a tiuesday special for $15.99 and no charge for splitting. The place has bird feeders outside and a cute garden. The decorations are nice and an electric fireplace that was by our table. read more

Sure wish I could give more Stars! Julie's Place is a throwback to the feeling of yesteryear, with a dash of modern thrown in where necessary. Visiting some dear ol' friends, I can thank them for the plan to take me here. Even the anticipation was mouthwatering! We arrived right after the Saturday lunch rush, so we got right in. Greeting, seating then eating! The place was still busy, including a nice group of firefighters with their shiny red fire truck. Thank you for your service! My very FIRST impression? How incredibly nice all of the staff was! Everyone that passed by welcomed us, with genuine enthusiasm. BONUS. They all laughed at MY goofy humor. Another cool note? Most of the staff's shirts bore some witty saying, so that helped me feel right at home. For sure. (I've included pics!) Food. What about the food, dude? Oh. Yeah... Our party of 4 foodies went on a menu trek. The trail began with a Combo App order. You can choose two half order appetizers. We chose Fried Green Tomatoes and Fried Mushrooms. The mushrooms were sliced, which was different from the usual fried buttons. But a nice take on the theme. Delicious. To me, Fried Green Tomatoes are the heartbeat of any down home Southern meal. And that first bite of Julie's version was a rush of adrenaline, food wise. WOW! Crispy outside, sweet & ultra juicy inside. BEST I've ever had. Period. Bravo! Our J's Place saving grace, our server extraordinaire, her name is Chloé. Google 'great service', you'll get a picture of Chloé. Food. What about the food, dude? Here we go. I got the Chicken Fried Chicken with smashed taters and pinto beans. Good stuff. The other three got, in order, the meatloaf, the Strawberry Pecan Chicken salad and the Patty Melt. All three thumbs up! I'm a huge fan! Julie's in July. Julie's any time! Julie's has a Place... in my heart. read more

Always love going to Julie's Place and taking guests there. So many great options to choose from on the menu. You can't go wrong. Julie and her daughters know how to run a restaurant with great food and southern hospitality!! read more

The place has changed over the last year, not as good as before, just OK. Thanksgiving dinner for my family was not smooth very unprofessional. The server was pleasant waited a very long time for our reservation to be seated and we didn't get that big portions for the money that we paid. read more

We like to go to restaurants/cafes in between peak times, avoiding waiting/crowds. Greeted warmly, seated immediately. Casual, warm, country kitchen-type atmosphere. Waitress promptly took our drink orders and then our food orders: fried green tomatoes, chicken & dumplings, chicken fried chicken. Received our food within 10 minutes, all delicious with the exception of fried okra which was chewy/lukewarm/came out of a bag. (Either offer fresh fried okra or take it off the menu). We got some peach cobbler to go (it was awesome) We definitely recommend Julie's place! read more

Great food. Always happy service. Please bring weekday breakfast back!!! Good value too.

Feels like home with the home cooking to match. Service was spot on and had a great view of the back garden. Trout was delicious as were all the home cooked sides. read more

I'm back in Florida now- but I brought back with me some of Julie's amazing apple butter - just a lil piece of the mountains to remind me of the slower pace and that I need to get back to Julie's Place soon!! read more

been by numerous times but never open for breakfast, saw a bill board coming into town that said - Breakfast served Fri & Sat 8:00 so I went. Nice country restaurant, has a cozy feeling. About 10am Friday - seated immediately, very friendly staff. Had 2 eggs over med. Country fries steak, home fries (deep fried potato chunks) & toast. Pepper gravy was typical - needed salt all & all a good breakfast & price. read more

Good food, good experience. This is one of the better restaurants we have tried and returned to since moving to the area from Georgia.

Thank you prior reviewers as you helped us to drop in on this nice surprise. A good crowd for lunch, lively. Service was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Every vegetable was wonderful in my husband's veggie plate. I chose something new Julie's Bowl with fried chicken bites over mashed potatoes and cream corn, cheddar and gravy. Filling, tasty and fun. Gotta say the overall tab was very reasonable, under $15 for many plates. This is an hour drive for us but we will be back. read more

Just good delicious Southern food. Great atmosphere. Waitresses were wonderful. Friendly atmosphere.

Julie's is one of the best places to eat at. They have about anything you can think of to eat. I have tried many things on their menu and have loved everything I have got. They make you feel like family and have a great staff. It's like going to a family gathering. Love the feel of this restaurant it's a beautiful restaurant read more

staff is great but the owners are small town bullies. Only half of the menu is actually home made, it's simply not cracked up what it's made to be. save yourself money and eat at waffle king. read more

Julie's is an amazing local spot with delicious home cooking. They bring you fluffy hot biscuits with warm apple butter to start your meal. We also got the fried green tomatoes. Delicious. We also got (and split) the Smokehouse chicken (came with two chicken breast). Covered with sautéed mushrooms, barbecue sauce, cheese, bacon and just deliciousness!! The staff were all true examples of southern hospitality. All seemed very thrilled to work there. Julie, the owner was all over the restaurant making sure every taken care of and had what they needed. It was such a delightful place. Portions were large, and even though some things were fried, they weee not greasy. Well worth your time if you are ever hungry n the area. read more

Been there a few times. Every getting something different. The only negative feedback I have is that I ordered one thing that disappointed me. I ordered chicken and dumplings. My grandma made the best but that doesn't stop me from trying other recipes. . I'm not attempting to be complaining but it just didn't have it. The waitress offered a different option. The waitresses are great, the customers are great. Repeat customers are great , the place is spick and span. Love the atmosphere. I feel badly even mentioning it. But I am because it may help for the next time. It may have been a new cook. But that's the only thing I have. We're going back soon. read more

Although recommended to us, it was a very disappointing experience. My chicken dinner was the toughest I have ever had. My wife's sandwich was inedible. Brought to attention of waitress and owner,Julie. They could care less!! Also very noisy and uncomfortable. Cheap food is the obvious draw. We just wanted good food at any price but certainly did not find it at Julie's Place. read more

Julie's Place 30 NC Hwy 141, Murphy NC 28906 August 11, 2022 Thursday - 4:30 PM for a late lunch. 2 Adults Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 4 stars Background - On a business trip and my coworker was craving this place. Hours are hard for us to make it here, so we are on our lunch break. Yeah that kind of day, have lunch at 4:30. Atmosphere - An old home turned into a restaurant. They did a great job, we must have had at in the living room as that area had a lot of tables. You could see a few other rooms with a few tables. Food Drink - Still working, just on a break, so water. Apps - We got a order of biscuits with apple butter. Okay I could at that for my lunch and been happy. I also ordered a half order of the fried pickle chips. I ate them all like a little pig. Lunch - Nice burger selection here, so I decide on the Carolina burger. It is a quarter pound of Angus beef topped with two onion rings, BBQ sauce, cheddar jack cheese, with lettuce, tomato, and pickles on a toast Brioche bun. Look at my picture, that will tell you how amazing it was Service - Pretty good, our waitress did disappear at the end of service. Another waitress found ours to let her know we were done. Side not on the menu, there are items, like what I order, in blue. They are very hard to read with the black font. Future - Probably, when in the area and time permits. read more

Food is absolutely awesome. Outstanding staff who are always wearing a smile. Great selection and biscuits are always fresh.

Wow. I was craving fried chicken made by Christian women. This place did not disappoint! Complimentary biscuits with hot apple butter to start. The fried green tomatoes were excellent. We both had the fried chicken with 2 sides. The only thing I didn't care for was the coleslaw. Everything else was stellar. Very clean place and the service was excellent. We were just passing through, but if the occasion ever arises again, we would definitely revisit this little gem! read more

Wonderful service and great food. Friday is seafood come out and join everyone. I will definitely be back on Friday. read more

Chicken and dumplings were fabulous as well as the Peach Cobbler! Our server, Jasmine was excellent.

There was so many things to choose from, but ended up with the Hamburger Steak. It was cooked perfectly and delicious. The service was absolutely fantastic, especially Kiersten! Our appetizer was out quick and so was the food! Highly recommended!! And make sure to get the triple chocolate cake! It was AWESOME! read more

The Resturant is adorable. Our waitress (Sierra) was an absolutely delight and the food as awesome. Nothing was cold. Which is a pet peeve. I had the meatloaf and the hubs had a burger. We will definitely be back if we are ever back in town. Breakfast is served until 10:45. Then breakfast stops and lunch starts. Their level of hospitality is refreshing. read more

Food is okay, not great nor "good". Just average. Good place to go when you don't want to cook or don't want fast food

We popped in to try this place during a visit to Murphy, NC. The staff here were all very friendly and they were wearing masks. We were seated at a table that was distanced from others which was great since this is during COVID. We were given the menu with their Sunday specials. You pick your entree and it comes with unlimited sides to share. My boyfriend ordered meatloaf and I ordered chicken and dumplings. The sides for the day were mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, pinto beans, and fried squash. After a short wait, our food arrived and we dug in. The chicken and dumplings were delicious. Their version is the more thick stew style and had a great flavor and melt in your mouth dumplings. The corn on the cob was tender, the fried squash was yummy, and the pinto beans were actually my favorite. They had a lot of flavor. The mashed potatoes could have used some gravy which I'm sure I could have requested, but I was getting full anyway so I enjoyed them fine as they were. My boyfriend liked his meatloaf as well. The meals also come with your choice of dessert. I chose the apple bread pudding which was soooo good! Meals are also served with homemade biscuits with butter and warm apple butter. I could have easily just filled up on these! All of the items plus your beverages are included in the menu price of the entree so it's a lot of food at a really good deal. Julie herself came by and checked on us. The restaurant had nice decorations, both their holiday and regular ones and family pictures displayed in different areas. It was definitely a welcoming environment with country cooking at its finest! Next time I'm in the area, this will be a must stop for me for sure. read more
