Julie's Homestyle Cafe, Oskaloosa IA

It's the most delicious little small town cafe around. It's usually always packed because the food is still good. But yet you never have to wait too long to get a table. You seat yourself and stay as long as you like. Breakfast served til 10: 30 I Believe and then they serve lunch till 1: 30pm I do believe. If you've never eaten here I really highly suggest you do diamond in the rough style.

We were visiting from out of town so thought we would try it. They took our order pretty quickly and we got drinks fast. However we then waited over 40 mins for our food. We witnessed at least 4 other parties place orders who got their food and a couple groups finished before we got our food. They definitely tended to locals first and they never even approached us to explain the delay. Once we got the good the 2 cheeseburgers were OK, the chicken strips were dry and the meatloaf was something you would get at school lunch. Definitely not the quality or homemade feel you expect from a small-town Cafe. The homemade ranch they are so proud of is more of a mayo/tarter sauce nothing like any ranch I have experienced.
Then when ready to pay two locals were allowed to skip the line and pay before us. Again not professional.
So if you are not a local skip the place and even if you are local skip everything but the burgers.

Awesome tiny cafe. Old school feel to it small quaint, clean, service was polite, fast, price was good. I Had breakfast was very delicious. Waitress was up beat friendly as was the other staff and cook. People were polite respectful but most of all it reminded me of the cafes my grandpa would have taken me

Only ate here once for breakfast. Attentive service, kept my coffee hot, food was delicious, prices were phenomenal! Love a good diner!

Great place, great service! This place is where you come if your a down to earth, hard working person, looking for Great people and friendly conversation! My type of place! Until next time thank you Julie's cafe we enjoyed our time.

Dbl cheese burger n fries were really good.
Wait staff are polite and friendly.
I'd recommend this place and I'll surely visit again.

Very friendly staff! They were very helpful and accommodating to my husband and I. Small dining area, and my husband is in a wheelchair, they were very helpful in seating us. Food was good, eggs were cooked perfectly!

Old style Cafe feeling. Where Every employee is very friendly. And care enough to learn your name.

This was our first time here; came for breakfast and it was a busy / happening place (which is always a good sign). Therefore it took a bit to get our food but it was delicious; definitely could tell it was homemade / home cooked! I’m sure that we’ll be back again!

Nice family atmosphere, best tenderloins around and the kid meals are a good value for the little ones.

The burger was fantastic! Unfortunately, the pecan pie left a bit to be desired.
Service was good

Small town diner, bordering on perfection! Just needed cherry/apple pie and it would've been!
Very tasty tenderloin and the hot ham and cheese was wonderful. Gotta get back there earlier in the day!
