Julie’s Restaurant

I love Julie’s. So much. The people there are so nice and friendly. You got a lot of bang for your buck and the brunch options are endless. Absolutely no bad comments here! Can’t wait to go back for another brunch or lunch.

Invisible Price Increase!!! Due to «market price of Eggs»! Went here for first time for breakfast on 9÷26÷15, Liked the home fries — believe the were deep-​fried like french fries are. Otherwise food was average. We ordered off the menu, eggs benedict and a ham/​cheese omelet. Prices listed were, if I recall, $ 8.50 and $ 7.50.
When check came, the prices charged were about $ 1.50 higher for each item. We asked about the prices and was told it was due to the higher prices of eggs. She said she’s intended to change the menus since June, but has never found the time. She said there’s a sign hanging in the back, but since we came in the «front door», we wouldn’t have seen it. (And she never told us when we were ordering.) She said the «regular customers» all know about it. (I’m thinking of all the Vassar College students, parents, and visitors that come to this restaurant right near the campus that aren’t «regular customers». She made no indication that she was going to honor the menu prices. So BEWARE of this place, and ASK if the menu prices are the real prices before ordering.

My husband and I went there for breakfast one day. The food was excellent. My husband got French toast with a side of bacon. I got a egg white omelette with spinach with a side order of home fries. Everything was great the service was great too.
The one thing I didn’t like was that the credit machine was not working and the owner made me feel like it was my fault so always make sure you bring cash because of a faulty credit machine.

This place is adorable. Adorably kitschy.
A cute old Greek couple covering the full house, waiting the tables and cooking the food.
The food was like a grandmas breakfast, and it feels like you’re eating at your grandma’s house. If you have a cute sassy Greek grandma.
Breakfast all day. Well until 3pm when they close which is a bummer. This is a diamond in the rough for Poughkeepsie and if you looking for a breakfast spot but tired of the diner, look no further.
No frills just good breakfast

Delicious pancakes, their own batter recipe. Usually I need to smother pancakes in butter, these I did not. Very, very good. Good coffee and friendly service. A good choice for breakfast.

We were in Poughkeepsie for our son’s college graduation. He told us he really liked the eggplant parmigiana he’d had there. We went for lunch and ordered a variety of things. We really enjoyed the food and the family that owns and runs the restaurant. Julie is wonderful, and her son Niko is the best too. I don’t recall Julie’s husband’s name, but he was there too. Expect a family atmosphere with the give and take you’d have at home. The food was all very good and fresh. We were lucky to get some dolma and baklava. I say lucky because Julie had made it to order for people celebrating that weekend as we were. She made a fresh batch of baklava for us and another family while we were there. They’re all from Greece. It was great talking with them about their home, and a place we hope to visit some day. Julie brought out a book about the Metereo region. The restaurant is just off the Vassar campus, which was very convenient.

Looks like a hole in the wall. The food is incredibly delicious, simple, and fresh. Cozy and friendly staff

Awesome breakfast! I always enjoy getting the hungry Harry. Love their customer service always so friendly. Best place for breakfast!

Yummy food, super friendly owners and fast service! Great place for breakfast or lunch

Man, was this a disappointment! Small place, friendly owners chatting with customers, but the food was just not very good. Pancakes were tough, and the blueberries did not seem fresh… and it’s blueberry season! The veggie omelet – no flavor, either in the eggs or the vegetables. They left out the cheese we had requested. When we asked if they had real maple syrup, the waitress said, «Do you know how much we would have to charge if we served that?» Of course, many restaurants offer it as an option for a couple dollars, but that does not seem to have occurred to them. She then asked for honey, and the waitress brought some in little plastic tubs, like jelly. And we were charged $ 1.00 for it! There are many other eating options just in this block near Vassar, and I suggest you go anywhere else than Julie’s!

Came here for a late breakfast. Very friendly owners Greek. Relaxing. Great Belgian waffle and bacon.

Have been here about 4 times now. I either order the gyro sandwich or pancakes & eggs. Both meals are great. The coffee is good, the good comes fast, the people are excellent. Could be a bit cheaper, but perhaps that’s just my bias for The Big Tomato showing. Check it out.

I’m pretty sure my egg sandwich only has one average size egg in it. As it is it works out because I wasn’t feeling well and had decreased appetite. But if I had my full appetite this would hardly fill me up. It does taste good and the price is not outrageous.

My daughter had the pancake breakfast and I had the waffle. There were large portions, the owners were very kind and we enjoyed our breakfast :) — try the bacon it was awesome !

Try the omelette with crème cheese and scallions. I hand it 6 months ago and never forgot it, so I’m Unilocaling tonight. The fact that I remember says a lot… Delicious food and nice Greek feeling. Especially having been to Greece… I give this place a ⁵⁄₅ for breakfast in Ptown!

Love this place. I will always make it a point to come here when I’m in town. Fantastic eggs Benedict and frappes. The homemade muffins go fast! Love The friendly staff too.

I’d almost forgotten how great this place is, until I got a voucher for breakfast here when staying at the Alumnae House. Sure the coffee could be a little stronger, but Julie’s is cheap, convenient, and has a wonderful family vibe which makes me happy to be there. «My son will be over to take your order.»
The posters of ancient Greek architecture on the walls are what sell the whole thing.

Julie’s Restaurant is a staple of my Saturday mornings! I go there with my friends for brunch and I can’t imagine a better way to start my Saturdays.
The feel of the restaurant is epitomized by the owners Julie and Gus! Their Greek roots shine through! It’s a wonderful family owned and operated restaurant; their daughter and son work the restaurant with them. As they bustle around and take your orders they have side conversations in Greek. Lovely atmosphere!
The food is wonderful as well! Great pancakes, especially the chocolate chip pancakes. They have good omelets (the Greek omelette with gyro meat, tomatoes and feta is my personal favorite). But in my opinion their best menu items are the delicious breakfast wraps!
Definitely stop by this place if you are around the Vassar area!

Great place for breakfast. Most of the food on the menu is delicious! Eggs Benedict are good. Wraps are probably the best thing on their menu. Omelets are delicious, and they have some cool omelets!
I definitely recommend this restaurant!

It’s a diner, in the finest Greek-​American tradition. Close enough to walk from the Vassar campus. Plain but clean interior. Prices are not cheap but reasonable, especially since you’ll probably take part of your meal home.
The food is average diner food, fresh-​tasting but no frills. Huge menu offers breakfast and lunch options.
Service is gruff but kindly. I’m pretty sure they’re speaking Greek, always a good sign. They are open on Sundays until 3. Not sure why the info says otherwise.
Three stars, plus an extra one for the Greek iced coffee. It’s called a frappé («fra-​pay»), and your server will patiently explain that it’s cold-​brewed from imported coffee, and topped with a lovely froth. I don’t care if it’s 10 below and you’re wearing long johns: Order a frappé and thank me later.
