This place had so much potential until they handed me the to-go order of the Keylime pie. The shrimp and grits were fantastic; A good amount of shrimp and andouille sausage along with creamy gravy and cheese grits. It had a little bit of spice which wrapped the whole dish together. Currently the restaurant is a little chaotic due to the Covid restrictions inside the restaurant but overall the young ladies do their best to keep everyone happy. This store would have received at least a four to maybe a five star review if they continued with the great portion size with the desert. I understand that the biggest markup of a meal is the dessert but the flavor of the Keylime pie and the portion size was somewhat short ended. I would recommend this place to anyone on a first time visit and I will definitely be back to try another dish since this is the first place I have ever seen name Julia belle's read more

Julia Belle's - Shrimp and grits - Southern Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

We spent the night in Florence and just happened to be near Julia Belle's. We love southern food with a touch of Gullah and decided to give it a try. Fried cat fish, Mac and cheese, broccoli casserole, green beans and more! Everything was tasty and delicious! read more

Cute little home cooking place. Chicken fried chicken was delicious without the white gravy. Mac and cheese was very good. Fried green tomatoes weren't bad but didn't have a lot of flavor, saved by the remoulade sauce. Triple chocolate Bundt cake for dessert was fantastic! Service was phenomenal even though I don't usually like ordering at a counter. Only things stopping this from being a 5 star review is the use of styrofoam cups and greasy feeling of the floor. read more

Good, classic home cooking served in a friendly environment. I got the fried shrimp, which did not disappoint.

Food was ok but we called in order for pick up. They told me 20 mins. I was on time and there were at least 7 people in line ahead of me. I assumed I could go to the empty line since I was picking up only. Not so. I waited another 20 minutes. Food was cold and sweet potato fries soggy. I think if they changed their work flow and had a separate line for order and pick up there would be a big improvement. read more

Best biscuit and blackened catfish!!! Accompanied by fresh brewed iced tea and a side salad. Very cute lunch spot with wonderfully friendly service. read more

Wonderful food and service! The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, and food was DELICIOUS!

I was on vacation in North & South Carolina, On the drive to SC, I found this place on Yelp (Right off the highway, but a true hidden gem). It was one of my top 2 meals of a meal heavy trip! We all ordered different things: -BBQ egg rolls to split - I got the "Mayberry" pork Chop sandwich - really tasty -Someone got the Fried chicken, -someone got the BBQ meatloaf We all tried to get different sides so we could all taste them. The fried green tomatoes were stellar! - (my friend who lives in Raleigh said they were the best she has ever had!). The total for 4 HUGE meals was about $40 so an amazing value too. You get a 10% discount on your receipt and the gal saw me crush it up to throw away when she pointed out the 10%, I said I lived in California and would likely not be back. She convinced us to try some of their home-made white Russian pecan pie, AND to use the 10% off of that (I think it was $3) The service - they could not have been nicer, refills of drinks - big glasses of ice in a take-out cup. They packed our pie to go...just super duper sweetie pies (pun intended) all the way around! The friend who we were visiting in SC, drives from Baltimore a few times a year with her family - I told her about this place. She says that next time they drive they are definitely hitting this place up. I am betting they go there once, and it becomes a family tradition for the drive each time. read more

Delicious!! I love to eat out and admit I'm pretty picky. After a long ride from NJ, I yelle and found this little gem. Right off of 95, but a little off the beaten path, this place is not to be missed. I got the fried green tomato BLT and the tomato was awesome as was their sauces. The bacon was crispy and the bread yummy. I was able to sit outside with my pup, and they brought her water and a little treat. Everyone was beyond happy. Venture off from the Panera's and Chick-fil-A and stop here to support a clean and well run taste of hometown south! Delicious!! I love to eat out and admit I'm pretty picky.

What can I say about Julia Belle's? Since moving to the area six weeks ago, we have dined here three times...including once when my sister-in-law came to visit and we wanted to introduce her to quality Carolina cooking. On our first visit, my wife and I discovered the BBQ egg rolls. Since we both love BBQ and Chinese, we HAD to try this concoction. We have started every visit since with these divine appetizers with the impeccable sauce they are served with. We have tried different menu items every time we have visited and we have never been disappointed in either portion size or quality of food. The service is consistently reliable with people checking in on our table at what we consider just the right amount of times to clear plates, refill drinks and check on our needs. Whenever we are in the area around mealtime, my wife and I debate whether to head back to Julia Belle's or try someplace new. One thing is for sure, we will be back again and again. read more

My family and I had dinner here a few hours ago, great tasting food, very friendly staff and a very neat place to have dinner with the family. I got the lobster roll with a side of coleslaw both were very tasty, my only problem is the fact that the meals seem to be in small portions, a bit overpriced for such small portions. Tasty but small. Only other reason I wasn't happy with this restaurant was it took awhile to get our food and if you have a big party you all will probably have to sit outside. All in all, this restaurant wasn't terrible, but tried it now not really worried about going back. Don't get me wrong it's a good place to eat, just you'll wait awhile with nothing to eat. read more

This place is awesome! We almost didn't go in when we saw the fast food style ordering but super glad we did! Food was freshly prepared, the service was outstanding and super friendly. The owner and the other employees checked in with us during our very tasty meal. I wish I lived near this place, I would eat hear every week! read more

So glad that we looked up this spot on Yelp instead of sticking to what was off the highway. This food was excellent! The kids had a cheeseburger and slaw and also a hotdog with Mac n cheese. My wife and I tried one of the main platters with pork, fish, etc. There literally was nothing bad. If you have kids you know how difficult it is to find somewhere that everyone loves and doesn't complain about. It's nearly impossible. But we all would have ordered what we ate again. They have indoor seating as well as some open air spots. Everything feels like you're on farm land out in the middle of nowhere which is what I especially enjoyed. The prices were great, too! We spent less on dinner than we did eating out at breakfast. Service was super fast and friendly. Really happy that we stopped in. Skip all the crap up off the road and drive here. Well worth it. read more

Such a cute place to enjoy lunch. My son had the shrimp & grits and it was very tasty! I ordered the blue plate special and all I can say is, I could have ate my weight in the swish casserole. Yum!! We also got a order of bbq egg rolls. They were tasty too. I really wanted some dessert from the delicious dessert menu but we were stuffed after lunch. This is definitely a spot I would recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Stopped on our way to Florida... was right in front of our hotel. I'm glad, I did. Menu was chock full of southern blue plate specialties. Based on previous reviews, I chose this location. They weren't wrong. You can tell it's family run . Staff was polite and attentive. Food is cooked quickly and to order. If I lived in the area, this would be deadly and a weekly stop. Bypass the chains ... This place might be one in the making. read more

Went in a bit before closing, one of the few spots I've tried so far. I just had chicken tenders and mac & cheese.... 10000% better than popeyes chicken tenders and they served me my food rather quickly. read more

We were traveling and stayed right behind Julia Belle's so we gave the a try. So happy we did! The food is delicious and everyone is so sweet, true southern charm! Hubs had the shrimp dinner with coleslaw and Mac and cheese-he loved it. I had the blue plate special w/o meat so three sides, green beans, Mac and cheese, and the daily side of squash casserole, it also included a large biscuit. We shared the fried green tomatoes appetizer. We really enjoyed everything and the only reason I'm not giving the 5 stars is we thought the fried green tomatoes were a little greasy and I didn't get butter for my biscuit. If traveling along 95 and stop in Florence SC stop by to get a bite to eat!! read more

Ok place, food just mediocre, nice staff But the woman at the counter clearly had a cough...I was a little put off by that, although she tried to cover her mouth when coughing. read more

Heck yea! Stopped in here completely by chance on a road trip back to FL after too many years up north and I'm so happy I could cry right into my cole slaw. Got a fried green tomato BLT that screamed 'Welcome back to the south!' to my grateful tummy. Thank you, Jesus for this little gem with super sweet staff and awesome food. Just sorry I won't have the chance to try anything else. read more

Very disappointed. Thought this was going to be a cute little restaurant. Instead, it's like a Taco Bell, fast food. Place your order and be seated. Food was mediocre. The chicken breast was ok but the wing was dried out so bad you couldn't eat it. Will not go back! ****I am pleasantly surprised to receive a note of apology for my meal from the restaurant. Along with that, a credit. I must say that goes a long way to making things right. I will try it again and hope for a better experience. Thank you to Julia Belle's read more

Excellent home cooked soul food, the servers are the most gracious. It's not fast food is great food!!!

Second time here. How is it possible food is this good!?!? I got the New Year's Special. Pulled pork, black eyed peas, glazed carrots, greens, Mac n cheese & fried green tomatoes. Omg this food is delicious. And everyone here is soooooo nice! I love this place! read more

Stopped by here on our way back to Richmond. I believe the owner was working at the cash register and was very sweet. We got the low country boil, chowder and bbq egg rolls. I don't eat pork, but my bf does and he said the egg rolls were really good. I enjoyed my chowder, it had a lot of shrimp in it. It's definitely casual and a great quick stop for lunch! read more

My family and I come here about once a month or so. I have never had a bad meal & I have always left satisfied. Usually my visits were during lunch, but now with extended hours into the evening....Well I guess Julia will just have to see more than then every now and then. They have the greatest southern cooking in Florence. Truly a hidden gem. The food is always fresh which you would expect b/c it is located at the Farmers Market. Wonderful meat and 2 veggie meal, especially when you consider the cost is under $10.00 a plate. Tonight fresh grilled salmon for my wife. I went with her juicy, delicious fried chicken. My six year old says, "they have the greatest macaroni and cheese in the world" Then to top it off for desert she says is "Strawberry ShortCake Heaven" read more

Great restaurant, the food was tasty, well seasoned and hot (temperature wise). I was initially skeptical but was pleasantly surprised. My wife had the fried green BLT, she said it was very good. I don't know the name of the sandwich but it was the chicken breast with pecans and syrup, and a side of spicy collards, man!!!! read more

A great local spot! Comfortable atmosphere. The staff keeps the place clean and neat. We had the pleasure of stopping in during a recent visit.
