My wife became interested in this place and becausep it had been years since I had been to it, I agreed that we should give it a try. Located in downtown Fairhope, Alabama, it was busy on the Sunday morning that we visited, but not too busy to make our wait for a table long. We were sitting at our table within 15 minutes after our arrival. Julwin's reminds me of the old, fine southern style restaurants of my childhood. When eating out was an unusual and special event for most people. The restaurant owners, knowing this, would have fine linen table coths and napkins, friendly and helpful waitstaff, a not overly extensive menu items, but just enough items so that the excellent cook staff are not overwhelmed and can focus on preparing their dishes at an expert level that customers expected. There aren't many of these old style restaurants anymore. But the ones that continue serving are holding on to a tradition of serving fine foods, at a reasonable price. Julwins is clearly one of these. It appeared from watching the crew at Julwins that they were well trained, cared about their the service they delivered, and so I was not surprised at the speed with which the waiter brought our orders to our table. I chose the "Green goat omelette." An omelette made with goat cheese and avocado. With it there were grits and a biscuit as my sides, but I requested an order of pancakes as a third side. I always have to try the pancakes. My wife chose a Rueben sandwich with a side order of fried okra. She later commented that she wished her Rueben had more meat on it, but she liked it and the excellently battered and cook fried okra. My omelette was delicious, the grits perfect, and the biscuit so beautiful that my wife commented on how enticing it was, She insisted on buttering it for me, and informed me that the cost of this service was that I had to share half of the biscuit with her. Which I happily did, only to learn that she was seriously considering eating the whole biscuit as she warned me to eat the other half or she would. i did. It was perfect. My two pancakes arrived thin, and unappetizing in appearance. However, I noticed that they great flavor, and even though they weren't tall and fluffy, as I prefer, they quickly disappeared down my gullet. So I guess they were actually pretty good. Conclusion: if you're looking for a quiet, clean, comfortable and easy going restaurant that serves excellent food, this is it. The wife and I may have a new favorite.
Needed some breakfast and Julwin's didn't disappoint just walking in was greeted supper fast and everyone was friendly. Seated in less than 5 min on a Sunday morning not to bad! Got Coffee and 50/50 Sweet Tea and both were great the coffee was not weak like most places. My wife always a Biscuits and Gravy fan had to try them and compare to her favorites (Waffle House) and she enjoyed Julwin's the biscuits were soft and the gravy tasty she said, maybe a little more spice (pepper). She also ordered the pancakes and they were very good l, great flavor and fluffy. I had the Chicken Fried Steak and it was fork cut good! Gravy needed some pepper but meat was super flavorful. The hashbrowns were crunchy and good as well. Will return!!
This charming breakfast place did not dissapoint. They have a system and tables seem to move quickly. We sat near the entry and saw the turnover of tables. Many people work here and appear to work in unison. Our hostess seated us, and took our drink order and returned with the coffee and hot tea and also brought waters. Our waiter arrived pretty fast as well. He took our order and was off. We enjoyed conversation at the table as the ambient noise level was low. She ordered eggs Florentine with hashbrowns, and I ordered the traditional omelet with sausage and chedar cheese it came with hashbrowns and a biscuit. She enjoyed her meal with the eggs cooked exactly as requested. My eggs were lite and fluffy and the sausage tasty a very god omelet. The biscuits, oh my... that is a biscuit. Very good and buttery, I had 2. Worth noting was the cleanliness of the restaurant. Parking on the street is plentiful in the morning hours on a Sunday. All employees are wearing the same logo tee shirts and shorts in black. It is very uniform look and professional looking. We will definitely be back.
The place the Locals eat at!!!! Real home made from scratch food!! Cooked to perfection with lots of flavor. Huge selection fresh berries can be added on French toast or Pancakes, seafood omelets Egg white specials!!! Great find in town
Great brunch option if you are visiting Fairhope! We went on a Saturday mid morning and had about a 20 minute wait. We ended up walking around at one of the nearby stores which was fun. The food was season well! I loved the shrimp and grits. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Will definitely be back!
Great cozy feel with great service and amazing food! Even on a Sunday morning after church the wait wasn't very long. The food tasted incredible and didn't take long after ordering.
1. Hash, scrambled egg, Hash Browns 2. Poached eggs, English muffin, Cheese sauce Highly recommended
It was our first day in Fairhope and we were looking for a great breakfast spot and decided to try Julwins. We were walking from our Airbnb, and were using Google maps with walking directions. Warning, it takes you to a large parking lot that is currently under construction, that is actually behind where the restaurant is located. When we couldn't find them, we called the restaurant, and they kindly gave us directions to their front door. Once we made it inside, we were hooked. The breakfasts are delicious. There are options for everyone, and you could tell by the fact that the restaurant was packed how good the food was. Staff was friendly, service was prompt, and we would definitely eat there again! read more

Atmosphere is very nice, not real loud. Very good place for a family with kids to eat. I've been back three times and the staff continues to be as polite, friendly, courteous and pays close attention to all your needs. The food is amazing and plentiful as well. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault. Trust me, I was in the Navy for 21 years and I've had some nasty food. read more

This is a lovely spot with a nice interior. It's on the upscale side of breakfast spots, which I tend to avoid, but my Dad recommended it. No complaints. The Pelican's Nest was a much-improved version of a common weekend serving my mom would do when I was a kid. These guys use two thick slices of Texas toast instead of white wonder bread, which is a nice improvement. read more

the food and service were both amazing ! on top of that, the sweetest couple noticed my "bride" hat and generously paid for my fiancé's and my meal. their kindness truly brought me to tears--as i'm not used to gestures like that. such a heartwarming experience ! read more
Came before the brunch rush on a Sunday, and our breakfast was underwhelming. For starters, my coffee mug had a lipstick stain on it, and I know for a fact that I did not apply any on this specific day. I asked for my eggs to be cooked thoroughly with no runniness, and sadly, I was met with runny eggs. On top of that, we weren't given our toast for any of our plates. The not-so-flavorful icing on the cake was the fact that two meals and three coffees cost over $50. May just walk over to Another Broken Egg next time we're in the area read more
