Miner's Diner

Very American-style restaurant with an absolutely beautiful design. The place almost invites you in — the ambiance is warm, cozy, and very well done. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the setting. The burger was disappointing: the bun was noticeably sweet, which felt odd for a hamburger, and the burger itself arrived only slightly warm. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere much more than the food.

Great place to grab lunch! Visited on a Saturday around 1:00pm in September and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. We put in our name and number and walked around nearby shops until they texted that our table was ready. We were lucky enough to get a window seat! Fun people-watching as there are many tourists who visit Julian in the fall. We ordered a burger and chili fries. If you split an order they give you the option of ordering your own side! Good diner food and really fun fountain drink menu with a variety of flavors and ice creams (see photo). Our server/hostess/waitress were all so kind and friendly which made our time here even more memorable. Highly recommend if you need a bite to eat while in Julian!

The restaurant was very busy, and we waited about 30 minutes on a waitlist before being seated. The menu is straightforward, with a clear focus on burgers. Overall, our meal was positive: the bread was soft, the meat well-seasoned, and the vegetables were notably fresh. However, we ordered two bison burgers that unfortunately arrived cold. On a brighter note, the fries were exceptional, perfectly crispy and not at all oily. The non-alcoholic hot cider was also a highlight and extremely good. The staff was friendly and attentive, even kindly moving us to a preferred table upon request. While the service was a bit slow, their helpfulness made up for the wait.

Great fun family experience. Good burgers, starters, milkshakes and even a little candy shop. The inside of the restaurant is very cool and full of character lots of retro like decoration. Staff very friendly and hospitable great service definitely recommend when I got this Bam👍

The worst experience of all our visits to Julian. The woman who registers at the entrance is rude and arrogant; she shouldn't be working with customers. She was not only haughty to us but to everyone who comes in to ask questions. She acts like she owns the place and demands you move even if you've only stopped for a few seconds to see what the restaurant is about. During our meal, they didn't bring us napkins. We asked the young man who greets you inside for them since the waitress seemed very busy, and he practically threw them on the table. The food was acceptably good. They didn't bring the orange juice we ordered or the onion rings. They brought fries, and when we told them we hadn't asked for them rudely, they said it didn't matter, we could keep them. Definitely the worst restaurant
