Julia's has a pretty decent Southern buffet, and I'm here for it! We've recently enjoyed a few visits here for a quick lunch, and while they're pretty busy when we've come, the service has been great. I believe they could have at least another one or two meat options on Sundays, but otherwise, we have really enjoyed the food.

Found this establishment near Troy Alabama. Took a chance. We we're so glad we did. It was a very friendly all you can eat -high quality southern dining. Price was 9.99 for lunch which was reasonable. My favorite was the home-made desserts. Had a large variety of pies and cobblers. Even had chocolate pie. Ms. Heather was our waitress and treated our special needs child very well, playing silly games that my son initiated. Would highly recommend it you are in the area.

Fantastic buffet with excellent wait staff. The ladies are very good to customers, quick to have your drinks when you get back to the table with your food. My favorites are the meatloaf, creamed corn, green beans, and sweet potatoes (but they offer fish, chicken, bbq, etc) This is one of the few places I enjoy veggies! Good variety of desserts also! I drive 30 miles to go here.

A buffet style restaurant with the best food I've had in quite a while. The roast pork with gravy, mac and cheese, greens and peach cobbler was delicious. Service was great, very accommodating. I'm still thinking about this place and it was more than 3 weeks ago.
