We did a stop over in Fairhope and stayed at the Hampton Inn. The breakfast at this gem was excellent. An original 1940's diner. Don't find many like this left around. We had the chicken fried steak breakfast with eggs and a biscuit and the biscuits and gravy plate that came with eggs your way and grits. The gravy has bits of sausage patty. We left full! The coffee was hot and kept coming. The service was excellent. We would make the detour when traveling on I-10 to visit here again...until then we will dream of chicken fried steak and biscuits. read more

Oh man, we had left Pensacola early to come and tool around Fairhope. We've been here a few times, and we absolutely love the little town. But how in the world did we miss Julwin's before? I mean, we truly missed out on this little jewel of a place! Now, I can handle just about anything from Waffle House to Another Broken Egg, but listen, quit scrolling, and head over to Julwin's Restaurant. From the coffee to the biscuit and everything in between, you can tell that those folks in the back know how to cook breakfast. My wife ordered the Western omelet, and opted for the Spinach. I know we didn't take three sips of coffee before our food came out piping hot and fresh off the griddle! The eggs were perfect as were the hash browns. I like my biscuit as dessert, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Guys, we'll be back. There's no question Julian is on our must see list on our next trip to Fairhope. read more

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. read more

What a lovely breakfast with waitstaff full of charm. We had Shrimp and grits: fresh and plump shrimp with a block of grits ( toasted on each side) in a yummy sauce. You can NOT get this where we are from and this was such a good version Corned beef hash Spinach omelette read more

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!! read more

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. read more

I went here after the Sunday church service, and everyone was very kind and welcoming. We ordered the French dip, and it was fantastic. The hash browns lacked seasoning, and the fries were plain and cold, but the biscuit and gravy were delicious. The eggs were eggs, and the pancakes were average. I gave the restaurant 3.5 because the staff were nice, but the food was not more than mediocre. read more

I was craving Biscuits and Gravy and yelp found us this restaurant! Tons of construction outside but inside has southern charm and southern hospitality. Biscuits and gravy were excellent and my husband said his seafood omelette was delicious too. The waitstaff was very attentive and before I could ask for more tea, they were bringing me another glass. read more

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! read more

I visited this restaurant and heard great things, today I guess was an off day, The pancake was so flat, the sausage had a very funny taste. I had the breakfast bowl was cheese steak onion green peppers and mushroom. did not see any of it look like meat and onions mashed with 3 eggs on top. Breakfast doesn't come with toast or a biscuit. that an added charge. read more

We had another wonderful breakfast here today. our server was Emma. She is great. Awesome personality. All the staff is so nice. My sister and I highly recommend Julwins. 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 oldest restaurant in Baldwin Country, Alabama. There was a wait and I see why, the food was delicious and huge helpings. I got an omelet called a Green Goat--scrumptious. It has avocado, goat cheese and some other goodies. Great biscuit and grits. Good coffee. Service was good. Totally worth it. A gem. read more

Both service and food were excellent. We will definitely go again next time in Fairhope

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

Julwin's Restaurant - chicken salad sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fairhope, Alabama

Local restaurant with great food! A delicious choice for breakfast and lunch. The staff is always so good and attentive.

This restaurant is authentic everything is made from scratch and it's so delish. When we come into town we pass by to eat. French toast is delish the pancakes are delish the pork chops with mashed potatoes are the best I have ever had. There is a reason this is the oldest restaurant in town. Biscuits are the biggest and the most soft and melt in your mouth. 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

Wow, what an amazing little place in this adorable little town!! Service was beyond spectacular, so personable and helpful! We had breakfast about 10:30 am and the food was phenomenal! Speaking of the service, the staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make our meal perfect. I had ordered a side of Conecuh sausage and at the end of our food realized I hadn't gotten it, so asked about it. The server immediately left and very quickly brought the order out to me (it was just the perfect amount to make me just the right full feeling!) and he even took it off our check for the trouble!! So, hopefully made up that difference with a bigger tip! It's definitely a drive from Pensacola, but we will absolutely go back for more in the future! read more

My wife and I went here on a Friday morning around 10:00. It was amazing! The place was relatively full... we sat in a booth, all of which were full. It was nice to see all the waitstaff backing each other up and helping look out for each other's customers. I got the Pancake Breakfast. I had planned on eating only half the Pancakes (and having leftovers) but they were so delicious I ate both... probably some of the best Pancakes I've ever had! My Wife got the Fish Tacos and, although they weren't quite to the Pancake level, she enjoyed them... she found the sauce a little salty for her taste and also had no leftovers. Overall a very nice experience and now we have our go-to breakfast place in downtown Fairhope! read more

I so wish I would have taken a picture of my food but I just loved it so much I had to dig in. The most memorable thing I had was their biscuits. OMG they melted in my mouth. Service was awesome and the place was so clean! I'll come back. read more
