Julianna's Restaurant

Let me paint you a picture, lads. I've just finished the single worst round of golf in the history of the sport. Balls flying into the trees, the water hazards, maybe even into the bloody stratosphere. At one point, I think I broke the laws of physics by hitting a ball behind me. By hole 18, I was no longer a man--I was a shell, broken by the relentless cruelty of golf.Lucky for me, Julianna's at the golf course was right there to save the day. Me and the boys dragged ourselves in, deflated from our performance but starving. First up: buffalo chicken bites. These weren't just bites, mate--these were heavenly chunks of poultry perfection. Crispy, spicy, and sauced up just right, we tore through them like we hadn't seen food in weeks.And don't even get me started on the drinks. Keystone Light may be a budget brew, but after a tragic round of golf, it tasted like liquid gold. Cold, refreshing, and just what I needed to drown the sorrows of missed putts and wayward drives.As for the waitstaff? Absolute gems. Smashing looks, cheeky smiles, and service that was on point from the first "What can I get you?" to the last "Another round?" Honestly, it was like they knew I needed to feel like a winner after that dreadful golf game, and they delivered.Julianna's, you've won me over. Next time I come out, I might just skip the golf and head straight to the bites and brews. Cheers to you lot for turning my worst golf day into a five-star feast.

Nice small restaurant and bar located off golf course in Castroville. Was in town looking for something different and found Julianna's on yelp. Walked in and seated promptly, almost walked right out due to waiting 10 minutes before anyone greeted or asked us for order. But when our server, Baldemar, finally did come over, he definitely made up for it with his service. Our glasses were never empty, complimentary tasting of creamy chicken noodle soup was offered. Recommendation of the Bandito sandwich hit the spot. It is a delicious grilled cheese with brisket and sausage, literally finger licking good. Mom got the Turkey bacon sandwich. We both took half home for later.

We had a great time at Julianna's. We were looking for a restaurant to celebrate my friends birthday. We wanted something in Castroville and came upon this place. We went for an early dinner. The place was busy for the time we went. It was four of us and we shared a lot of our food. We started off with the brussels sprouts that were delicious. We all love brussels sprouts and these did not disappoint. We also shared the shrimp Campechana and the buffalo cauliflower. We were expecting small cauliflower pieces, but we got a huge chunk that was perfectly seasoned and fried. The campechana had a distinct taste to eat that we couldn't figure out. Maybe cumin. For my meal I got the blackened mahi sandwich with sweet potato wedges. The sweet potato wedges were a hit. Everyone love them. My friend got their special surf and turf with shrimp and steak. We also shared the Louisiana special and the napoleon chicken. At the end, we could not pass up dessert. We ended up getting the chocolate cake and the banana pudding. Both were decadent and enough to share. We did get a bottle of wine. They arefairly priced. Our waiter was extremely nice. He gave us good suggestions. He knew we were celebrating birthdays, and he brought us candles for our desserts. We sat inside, but they do have an outside seating area that's pretty. Parking is available on site. Reservations are available. I suggest you making them if you are going to go for typical lunchtime or dinnertime hours.

Had lunch at Julianna's in a Golfing Range/Pro Shop location in Castroville. It was a good pit stop on our way to Fort Clark in Bracketville, TX. I had the Grilled Blackened Shrimp & Avocado salad with 1/2 an avocado that was delicious. The Zesty Italian Dressing had a zing & I had it on the side. It included 6 shrimp on a stick, Spring Mix with fresh baby greens, shaved Parm & tomatoes. A 1/4 of the Avocado was black so I removed it. It should be QC'd before releasing the plate or at least noticed by the food preps. The Bandito Brisket/Sausage grilled cheese sandwich was pretty hefty but 1/3 of the beef was gristly so it had to be set aside because it was too tough. That was a bit disappointing esp. since our server said it's a favorite esp. with all the Golfers. The Sweet Potato Fries were large & tasty & so was the Lemonade. Kennidy our server was gracious, friendly & professional.The grounds are beautiful with trees & grass overlooking the Golf Course. There are outside tables as well. What a nice find thru Yelp!

We had a delicious lunch here. I had the mahi sandwich (on the jalapeño cheddar bun) with sweet potato fries. It was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. The service was friendly & fast. The country club atmosphere is very nice with a pretty view of the golf course.

Julianna's was recommended to us by a local. I got the Napoleon Chicken which was chicken breast (two of them for lunch) Zuchini and yellow squash ribbons between the two chicken breast served over rice. There was also a balsamic glaze which I felt was a bit of a stingy amount. But this was a great lunch for someone doing Weight Watchers. My friend had another chicken dish with cheese and absolutely loved it. I think she said it was the best chicken dish she has ever had. Others had different sandwiches and were happy with them. They said the jalapeno bun was amazing.

The food is good for a golf course. The bartender/ server was really good and I appreciated the service. Will try other food there but the Cajun pasta wasn't my favorite. My boyfriend liked the steak and fries well enough.

Tonight was our 2nd time. First time (month ago) service was great, and food was delicious. (Chicken n waffles, pizza, pasta and the grilled cheese sandwich w/brisket) Tonight- they pretty much over cooked the chicken in the chicken waffles. So tuff could barely cut it. Ordered a slice of cheesecake cause last time we had THE BEST cheesecake ever. Waitress brings it out and I can tell this isn't the same. Looks store bought. I show her the pic from last time and ask where that one's at - she says "that one was a special" no clue what that meant but tonight's was frozen in the middle and not homemade I'll give it another chance but wasn't impressed tonight

This is no doubt a hidden gem of a restaurant you can find in Castroville which a large menu that will no doubt hit any and everyone in your party's appetite. The menu is so diverse that I promise you will really have a hard time nailing down what you REALLY want to eat. Julianna's was a recommendation from the hotel I stayed at down the street for a work trip. Even on a slow, calm and low key Monday early evening I was game to drive over and see what I could eat and I was super happy with her recommendation even as a solo dinner eater (again I was on a work trip). Friendly staff and fast service was very much appreciated and made this spot feel like I was at home. There was also a diverse crowd of diners on a Monday and honestly felt like it was a weekend night when looking around and seeing everyone with their families and friends eating. I ended up coming here two nights in a row to dazzle my coworkers who wanted some wine and a veggie pasta dish. All coworkers were super impressed with amount of menu selections that even included pizza! We ordered a bottle of red wine for the table and all got something different - pasta dish, delicious charbroiled burger/fresh potato fries, and even brussel sprouts as our appetizer. My plan is to come back another time and use this as a suggestion for when I am down the way, in Hondo, visiting family. We are always in need of a great space for 20+ family members to meet and this is definitely a great spot for large and small groups. The attention to service and friendliness makes you feel special in such a special small town like Castroville.

Been here many times and never disappointed. Last night went for Valentine's Day and was soo disappointed. We had reservations and were seated quickly. We got our drinks and soup in a timely fashion but from there it was down hill. It took an hour to get our main course. We were told it was because a table of ten order was put in first but doubt that as people sat after us were served before us and were done before we got our food. When our food arrived it was apparent it had sat under a warmer for some time. My halibut was very small (2×2") and dry and the asparagus was lukewarm as was the sauce. Our waitress was friendly but not sure how to handle the long wait so she was scarce during the wait. This was not my usual experience and I think they should look at how they handle high volume nights and maybe refuse large parties or call in extra help.
