    This place was recommended by a local and it didn't disappoint. Wall are covered in tasteful art. It has a go variety of food options. Waiters are super friendly and attentive.

    Biscuits and gravy, delicious!
    David T.

    Great location downtown. We came early Sunday morning before the rush and had great coffee and breakfast. The fall coffee menu was nice, lattes were delicious. My wife had a classic breakfast while I tried the biscuits and gravy. The sausage gravy was delicious, the biscuit was a great base. A little more dense buttermilk layer and disnt get soggy. Sometimes biscuits are too much fill and this was perfect to enjoy the sausage and gravy.

    GF chocolate cake

    *CELIAC, GLUTEN FREE REVIEW so many choices! this place appears to be very knowledgeable about how to handle allergies. We got the teriyaki bowl and the southwest salad. Of course we had to get the GF chocolate cake - so rich, moist, and delicious! The day we went they had a mint frosting. Be cautious with the teriyaki sauce, I made the mistake of dumping it all in before tasting!

    Window-side bar in Jules' Bistro (perfect spot to read a book).

    Upon entering, I was swiftly met by a lovely young waitress who offered me either table or bar. I opted for the high-set wooden bar leaning against street-side window pains. Cars passed and pedestrians streamed by, maybe on their way back to work after, hopefully, tasty lunches and a restful break. Jules is a charming little bistro foregrounded on St. Cloud's main street and backed by First and Second Street South, two roads that mitigate the flood of traffic leaving SCSU. Sunlight meets the corner of the building and stops short of "setting the place on fire" with natural light, leaving room for hand-blown chandeliers and warm spotlights to brush Jules with a soft glow. There are drawings, paintings, and intricate bouquets of greenery decorating the walls, complimenting a soft green that breaths through the city's stark browns. Internally, Jules is lively, and a perfect setting to eat, yap, and take a deep breath. I ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket panini with a side of Sweet Chicken sopa, which comes with kettle chips and a spear pickle. The panini wasn't what I expected. Having graduated from Kansas' honorary school of amateur BBQ, I was looking for a rich, peppery flavor from the brisket, complimented by a sauce that leans into either sweet of tangy. What I received was a BBQ sauce panini with chunks of beef brisket shoved in. Safe to say, the panini didn't meat expectations, but the sourdough bread retained its crunchiness without expending its soft inner layer and aged bite - coming very close to mom's homemade loaves. The chips were chips, and my distaste for pickles shielded me from trying this one, but having known pickle-lovers, it looked delightful. Juicy and dusted in leftover kettle chip crumbs, I can imagine it was tasty. My personal favorite from Jules' Bistro was the Sweet Chicken sopa - a delightfully twisted chicken noodle soup served with yet another piece of toasted sourdough bread. The sopa noodles were texturally divine, chewy, flavorful, and easily collected with a spoon. With shredded chicken, peas, carrots, bay leaves, and a hint of tarragon, you can make an exceptional soup. But what makes Jules' Bistro stand out is the usage of Mexican sopa noodles and a touch of lime that adds, not a bite, but a bounce to the stock that keeps the pallet on its toes. It's safe to say - sopa must remain on the Jules' Bistro menu. All-in-all, Jules' Bistro is a commendable addition to the American ring of hand-crafted soul food restaurants, and is worth a step off the interstate. Perfect for a budget friendly date night, casual lunch break, or quick pitstop on your road-trippin', wayfarin' journey across the great state of Minnesota!

    My $20 sandwich. It only had avocado mushrooms and sauerkraut.  I opted not to pay even more for vegan cheese
    B K.

    Food was fine, nothing special. Prices were very expensive. I have both a dairy and gluten allergy and to have GF bread was an additional $3 and for vegan cheese it was another $2.50. $5.50 on an already $17 sandwich is kinda crazy. It would have been over $30 for a flatbread with GF and vegan cheese. Our whole meal was just over $60 and that's with only 1 person being GF. All we got was 2 sandwiches and a soup and salad combo. If the food was over the top or was larger portions maybe it would be worth it but this just wasn't. There wasn't a lot of dairy and GF options. And they couldn't substitute things out. So for the teriyaki stir fry they couldn't remove the onions. Also the paper copy menu said smashed avocados but it was actually guacamole. As someone who doesn't like onions that wasn't great either. All in all I won't be back.

    Rise & Shine Wrap with ham, bell peppers, Kalamata olives, and feta.

    We had been hearing great this about this restaurant for a while and finally got the opportunity to check it out - we were NOT disappointed! My husband had the mocha and the Sweet Potato & Pomegranate Bowl. The mashed sweet potatoes were the perfect texture and paired perfectly with the apple slaw and candied dates - great texture and flavor combination. I did a build your own wrap - it was stuffed with veggies, cheese, and ham, and they pressed the wrap so it was warm and had a perfect crispy texture. Great service, extremely friendly, and great ambiance. One more thing I want to note because to me it speaks to the integrity of the people and place - an older man came in who must be a regular because they knew him by name. He did not appear to have much, may have been homeless, and they welcomed him in, gave him a warm cup of coffee, some bacon, and a cookie. It was very heartwarming to see the compassion! We look forward to our next visit!

    We were staying at a friend's cabin in Monticello and needed some food delivered. We called up a…read morefamily member who lives here more regularly who told us to get Jimmy's so that's what we did. Online, it said that we were not in their delivery area, but when we called to ask, they said we were good and that they'd deliver to us anyway which was really kind of them. We ended up ordering a Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and Jimmy's Deluxe (all larges). The delivery was great, you pay with card over the phone which means you can tip with card as well so no scrounging around for small bills right before the driver comes. We got our order in 40-60 min which is a bit long but not too bad, and it's the only option so can't complain. The pizzas were really small despite being "large". They are only 14" long which is like the same size as a domino's pizza, but here they each cost $22. The pizzas were not very good, to be frank. They were really small for their price and tasted kind of like frozen pizzas. The pepperonis on the pepperoni pizza were under the cheese, but there were barely any of them. The crust on all three was super thin, but in a way that made them more like a cracker than thin bread. The peppers on the deluxe needed to be precooked a little before they go in the oven as they were underdone and cook slower than the pizza. Overall, not the best pizza, but considering their availability and delivery, I would order again.

    When I called them they were so nice and patient with me, helped me get a deal on some food that…read moreone place had that they didn't have, so they gave me a special price. And they said it would take 50 minutes to an hour to be delivered (given it was a busy Saturday night) I got it in under an hour, the delivery dude was friendly, pizza and bread sticks were hot and delicious! 5 stars for jimmys pizza in clear water mn

Then the already-cooked pizza sits there, drying out and cooling off. So, when you walk in, there are several pizzas that look interesting and like they might be worth trying. You choose which pizza slices you want. They then toss them into the oven to heat them up. On my second attempt, the server didn't heat it up long enough, so when I received my slice, the toppings on the supreme weren't heated through. I was eating a slice that was still cool. How is this okay? Maybe if you ordered a fresh, whole pizza, you might enjoy it. I, however, haven't had a good experience either time I've been here, and so I won't be back.

It was a bit confusing how the pizza seemed to be displayed out in the open with no heat or cold on it. I was glad to see that the pizza was warmed up in the oven before served. They could have used some signs with the pizza name. I had to guess at what the different kinds were. I liked that the crust was crispy on the bottom. Large slices, one would be enough for anyone. The deal was 2 slices and a drink for $6. That seemed about right for what was offered. I may try again and call in an order to compare.

For this reason, even though DiMaggio's was about a half mile from my hotel I decided to get it delivered. Usually when I order pizza delivered I expect it to be lukewarm or even somewhat cold, but that was not the case. My pie was piping hot. So hot it scorched the roof of my mouth (my fault). But I do fault DiMaggio's for having such delicious pizza that I couldn't stop eating or even slow down. The toppings were all fresh and bountiful. Not just a sprinkle here and there, the toppings were enough to give you a taste of everything in every bite. And I'm not a single, two or three topping kind of guy. I had Italian sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, onions and black olives. I cannot remember when I had a better pizza as of late and I had pizza in New York three weeks ago. The pic I posted only shows what is left after I inhaled the rest. I believe this will be a delicious cold pizza breakfast in the morning. I don't know if you guys are related, but DiMaggio's sure hit a home run with my order!!
