Julie’s Southern Joy - Mary Esther

Baked green tomatoes were amazing! The bread on the chickens was delicious and the greens were amazing!! Could eat the Mais-Nuggets alllll day!

Oh my gosh I love this place. Feels like I’m eating at Grandma’s table. We go every Sunday after church. Super cozy and clean inside, everyone is super kind, the food is fresh, hot, and SO DELICIOUS. The beef tips and rice are perfection. The praline bread pudding is heaven. I would eat here every single day if I could.

I found out about their food through the Installation Food at Eglin. They brought their food on base. Tried the shepherd pie and it was the best I’ve ever had. Tried their restaurant for Saturday lunch buffet and everything was so delicious. Probably the best southern food Ive had. Will be going back many times!

The people who run the place are so wonderful and have really good food, they have a buffet with different types of Southern dishes. My husband and I order to go and get home and eat until we pass out. Okay we almost pass out. Ya'll need to try it at least once.

I’ve been eating at this restaurant since their days in the food court at Santa Rosa Mall, and I have never been disappointed over the years! Honestly, they have only gotten better and better! There are so many delicious items on the menu that it’s hard to choose a favorite, but right now I’m really loving the breakfast buffet! I highly recommend you stop by and see for yourself!
