    This place is usually okay for lunch, but we came here for breakfast as it was one of two restaurants in the main area open early other than for pie. I think I'll stick to lunch here, the breakfast was pretty sad. The servers were nice and it was impressive that the lady who brought over our plates was able to carry 5 plates in one go with these super long nails. Our orders came out a little wrong, but they were kind enough just to bring out whatever was missing. Ambiance is very small town Americana, with a toy train going through the back upper wall, reminiscent of Mr Rogers Land of Make Believe. The vibe is chill, but don't expect an exciting breakfast.

    Have you truly experienced Julian if you haven't been to Miner's Diner? Whether you start your day here with a classic breakfast or pop in during your explorations for an afternoon malt, I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Everyone is always very friendly, and there are endless antiques to ogle while you enjoy your meal or snack, which really make up the entirety of the ambiance here. Don't forgot to pop down to the candy mine while you're there!

    Went to Julian for a day trip and was instantly transported into my childhood. We saw the sign for this diner and soda bar from across the way and added it to our itinerary for the day. I knew it would be good when I walked in and saw the train going around the top of the restaurant. We sat at the bar and ordered an oldschool root beer float. It was everything and more. The bartender was a local and told us all about the town. Service was quick, and the ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. There was a really cool candy cave down the stairs with a bunch of old candy brands we hadn't seen in years-- totally nostalgic. Great spot for kids or just a quick diner!

    Ruben and French dip sandwiches were delicious. Perfect serving. The onion rings were a little heavy on the batter but crispy and flavorful. The fries were perfectly cooked. The service was great, quick and friendly.

    Upon entering, the hostess was absolutely sweet and attentive. A small party formed in front of us, unsure of what to do so she politely gave them their time to decide while acting quickly to help us get seated. She mentions a spot by the window, and I'm ecstatic (I love a good view.) The hostess even complimented my rings. Overall, great first impression! After spending a minute on the menu, our server arrives, no smile and not even a hi. She starts with a, "have you decided what to order?" We came in an hour before closing, I'm reasonable here. I know what it's like to be at the end of your shift so I wasn't really expecting much here. I responded with, "[I think we need another minute.]" She immediately leaves and doesn't ask about drinks. Strange, every restaurant I've been to always offers water at the start, but hey, there's a first for everything. It takes a good while to get noticed by our server again. By the time it got to ordering, no small talk from her, just straight to the point and all was very cold. You could tell she didn't want to be there or didn't want to attend us. I try not to assume things, but noticing how nice she was to other tables except us was off putting to say the least :( Another server came by with our shakes and was incredibly sweet! She explained everything then left on a good note of complimenting my outfit :') once we received our food, there was a noticeable difference in portions. I received a good amount of fries while my boyfriend barely received much. To make things worse, some of his fries were frozen :( the burger ordered was delicious though so we didn't want to make any issue of an already unfortunate situation. I will say this though, the food was very overpriced for what it was. Expect to pay $5-$7 more than necessary. When it came to payment, I needed a box and the server immediately comes by to drop the check, never once asking how the food was or if we needed anything more. I found her disassociating in the corner, simply avoiding too. The experience was pretty awkward honestly. Not to mention the food took a while to come out. The place was clean and some workers did an incredible job hence the 3 stars, but if you're Mexican, be cautious of the server with long black hair pulled into a ponytail and dark makeup. Safe to say, good for a one time experience, but I don't feel comfortable coming back.

    For Mother's Day, we went to Julian for some apple pie but wanted to get some breakfast prior. I first wanted to start off by saying that the inside of the restaurant was absolutely adorable and loved the true "miners" theme that they had going on. Above they had some toy trains moving around, I thought that was the coolest thing. The service was okay, I forgot her name but our server was quite attentive and helpful. However, for the most part for how busy it was it seemed lacking. Especially, they stated that they had this "transitional period" where they need 15-20 min from breakfast to prepare to start serving lunch. A family of 8, with multiple Mother's had left because they weren't going to get served. To me personally, the food flavoring was unfortunately was quite bland. In specifics, the gravy was watered down and you can tell it was just warmed up from a can and served. Overall, I don't think I will be back to get their breakfast.

    We came for an ice cream on a very hot day. Very cute and rustic on the iznside. Ice cream was delicious. Zz There is a candy mine below the restaurant that kids will love. There are inside and outside bathrooms, inline with the rustic vibe of the store.

    Cool little diner that fits the whole gold mining history in Julian. They've got a simulated "mine" downstairs that makes noises, maybe a tiny bit "cheesy" (I adore cheesy elements) but definitely fun to check out especially the little ones. There's a tiny choo-choo train that goes around above you, and a big rustic wooden bear by the cashier area that pretty much screams "tourist photo." Didn't get a chance to try the food yet, but the whole old mining vibe makes it a fun stop if you're venture out there and are walking around the town.

    I can't believe I forgot to post my review! Glad people are liking the photos I posted. It totally reminded to post my review. First as we were walking by we saw the huge truck delivering vats of thrifty ice cream. So that's why we walked in. We all love thriftys and we no longer have any where we live. We loved all the sundaes and shakes we ordered. Service was great we loved our gal helping us at the counter. Only reason I didn't give five star was because a couple of the gals watched a young man cleaning with a dirty rag, and wiping some of the glasses with the rag. They were watching closely making sure our server didn't use the same glasses for Our sundaes. But it was okay because we all asked to have ours in to go cups. The place has that old timey feel to it. Like a 50s soda shop. Not sure we will be back because we all like in different stars and did a girls getaway. But it sure was a cute town. Not sure how the food was like since we only had the ice cream. But make sure to check out this place if you're visiting Julian.

    Great restaurant for all ages. So much decorations, best vintage soda and ice cream shop. We went for lunch and the Food is great. Mainly diner food with burgers, hot and cold sandwiches, great fries and onion rings. Great kids menu. For a tourist area the food was very reasonably priced. Wait staff was so friendly and helpful!

    Came here during the busiest time of the year! Definitely anticipate an over hour wait but totally worth it! I loved every bite of the tri tip dip sandwich. It was absolutely perfect. Service was kind and attentive. I will continue to return. Ambiance was so casual and great for groups/parties.

    Pastrami sandwich with chili cheese fries!  Oh yea....its about to go down!

    The Miner's Diner is a typical diner experience times 100!!! And it has a little something to appease everyone in your dinner party (or breakie or lunch). From the massive portions dished out, to the mini train set (and other toys), buzzing around the dining area, eating at the Miners Diner in Julian, CA is much more than just grabbing a bite to eat. This is an entertainment experience for all! The menu consists of typical diner fare from huge, juicy burgers that you can create to your liking with all the fixins, to standard fare such as roast beef. They also have a vegetarian side with the assortment of massive salads. Leave room for dessert because the MD has a huge selection of different ice cream flavors with which you can create a banana split, a sundae or just a single scoop cone! But that's not all on the "sweets" menu. When everyone has finished eating, or if you are waiting for your home cooked meal, and the little ones are getting restless....let them he up and "discover" the on site "mine shaft" that descends all the deep and dark cavern....just kidding. It is fully lit and only 3-4 steps down into a room full of candy. What's cool is the nostalgia of the candy choices. I'm 53 and a lot of the selection boasts candy I haven't seen since I was 8 years old! They even had candy cigarettes! Which I had no idea was even legal or allowable??? But they are and along with jawbreakers, ABBAzabba and many others, you'll find something to your liking. Probably the pop rocks! Ya you remember those!!!

    Phosphate soda
    Stephanie C.

    This was a great find! We knew we were hungry and this place didn't disappoint! My daughter started with the phosphate cola. I didn't really notice a difference to regular, except less carbonation. But on to the burgers!! My daughter got the Memphis burger which is a pulled pork with a kick of sweet heat. That sweet heat complimented that burger well! I got the slaughterhouse and I loved it! I mostly tasted the chopped bacon. The fries were nice and crispy, but the onion rings were spot on! The whole restaurant was decorated with old toys and memorabilia. They even had a candy cave downstairs that you can purchase the candy per pound! Look up while you take in your surroundings, there's a train running through the whole restaurant!

Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too.

The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

Unfortunately, the wrong order was brought out, and the staff had to come back and ask what I had originally ordered. It was a simple order--just biscuits and gravy--so it was frustrating that it was difficult to get right.

At that point, I was honestly just over it, especially when I was asked if I wanted a box, as if we were finished. Overall, the food was fine once it arrived, but the service experience that day was disorganized and left a negative impression.

We stumbled in here by accident because the bbq beer place nextdoor was busy and we were in a hurry and said this Rong-place makes ribs. What a mistake, and they don't even serve beer.

The oven-cooked fall-of-the-bones pork ribs were sad, gray, tasteless, and slathered with their "Bumsteer" sauce - a sad attempt to make homemade bbq sauce out of cheap ketchup and vinegar. The sides included a dried out cornbread muffin, sour creamy coleslaw, and homemade baked beans that were basically canned beans in ketchup. Basically inedible. I've seen enough Gordon Ramsey to know this restaurant does not have an actual cook with any culinary experience whatsoever. They should be ashamed selling such garbage (especially with no beer to try to wash it down). I hate wasting $ on garbage. Do yourself a favor and learn from our sad lesson. Bumsteer sauce?

And the tables are a little sticky. All forgivable grievances really if the food was mid to okay tasting, but it wasn't, so yikes. I ordered the French dip sandwich ($16.95 I think). The sandwich comes with sliced smoked tri-tip topped with a slice of cheese + grilled onions on a toasted French roll. It's served with a side of fries and a cup of au jus. Initially, it looked promising, however, I heavily suspect that sliced tri-tip was just deli meat in disguise. Moreover, the au jus was incredibly salty. It. Was. So. Salty. Without the au jus, the sandwich was just a sandwich and not a French dip. Overall, the kitchen needs to exercise more qual control. Both orders of fries for the table were severely undercooked. And the buffalo burger was burnt. There is litany of things that Rongbranch could do better, so come at your own risk. Strategically eat here if you need a bathroom break or a break from the crowds. However I advise against making Rongbranch your dining destination while visiting Julian.

I even brought friends who had never been here before, thinking it could become one of our regular stops when we're out hitting the trails. Instead, it left a bad taste in everyone's mouth... and not just from the food. Waitress: Where do I even start. She claimed she was hard of hearing--but her attitude spoke loud and clear. Tossing menus on the table, aggressively slamming salsa down, and getting snarky over being off because our party count was off by one person. Seriously? It took two seconds to adjust the table, but apparently that was just too much. Yes, she technically did her job... but with such a cold, unwelcoming, and rigid attitude that it made the whole experience uncomfortable. What really stood out? We were there first and ready to order, yet she chose to take care of every smaller table that came in after us. No communication, no "I'll be right with you," nothing. Just ignored. Basic courtesy clearly isn't part of the service here. And trust me--I used to be a waitress. I handled large parties all the time and actually communicated with my tables. It's not that hard. Honestly, if gratuity hadn't already been forced onto the bill, she would've gotten $0. The only pleasant person we encountered was the busser--quick, friendly, and actually seemed like he wanted to be there. Maybe swap their roles, because he outperformed her by a mile. Food: Let's talk about the food... if that's what we're calling it. Everything came out cold. Not "warm-ish," not "could be hotter"... just straight up cold. It felt like our plates were sitting under a heat lamp for way too long before making it to the table. One "white" friend asked to have her meal fixed--fine, no problem. But when another "Hispanic" friend asked the same thing? Suddenly there was attitude, menu slamming, and mumbling under her breath. So... what exactly was the difference? Why the inconsistency and hostility? If the kitchen is that backed up, maybe management should step in and help instead of letting food die in the window. Just a thought. Final Thoughts: This place had potential... but that waitress single-handedly ruined it. We'll be taking our group (and our money) elsewhere--Dudley's Bakery is looking like a much better option moving forward. I usually bring large groups out here, so this isn't a small loss. Unfortunately, if this is the level of service they're okay with, this place isn't going to improve anytime soon. At this point, it's less "Farmhouse charm" and more "junky barn energy."

    My husband and I have been doing the Julian Tea Cottage Victorian Christmas tea for about 16 years…read moreand we love it! Three courses of savory and sweet treats including finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and cookies with as much tea you can drink. The staff are always friendly and nice, and they make sure my food is safe from food allergens. The tea room can sit up to about a dozen people (my gals and I have booked the whole room once!) with two small tables for 1-3 people and then one larger table. If you aren't having the high tea, you can also shop their tea room, with both loose and bagged tea, tea cups and teapots, jellies, curd, and other pantry items and tea accessories. They also have other fun kitchen items (don't forget to check out the room upstairs for more cute gift ideas.

    Cozy tea room serving afternoon tea and a staple in Julian. Great service and LOTS of teas to…read morechoose from. We came for the 3-course, Christmas-themed afternoon tea at ~$50 per person. Tea and Food: Both the house welcome tea and our tea of choice were outstanding. We ordered a pot of the Caramel Vanilla tea and it was very tasty. Absolute 5/5 for the teas. The food was generally good. Scones are served with whipped cream and there was a solid variety of sandwiches, scones, and desserts. We ended up taking quite a few items to go. Service: Service was attentive and friendly. We were served by two younger ladies who were lovely. There's also a few older ladies that checked in with us periodically. Parking: Street parking. We parked on Julian Main St and walked over.
