We accidentally stumbled on this spot by accident. However this was a pleasant surprise, the food was delicious and I don’t mean like it’s good delicious I mean it’s delicious ….delicious!!!I took a couple of my young friends over here and we all enjoyed our meals. I got the turkey sandwich which was big and tasty!Would go again and also the carrot cake was also a great addition to the end of our meal.Also the waitress which I forget her name was also very patient and kind.Thank you again for this wonderful food.

Stopped by Don’s Market for a few things and my hubby asked if we wanted to go out for breakfast, can’t ever say no to that so we headed across the parking lot to Farmhouse 78. We missed breakfast by a little bit but I can’t say I’m disappointed because I ended up with the Hog Wild burger, and oh my! It was a hard choice, there were so many things I wanted to try but I’m glad I went for this!I wasn’t sure about the condiment being berry mostarda, BUT I’ll try anything and I sure am glad I did! This burger was shockingly good, cooked to a perfect medium rare and so flavorful! The slaw gave it a great crunch and the sweetness of the slaw and the mostarda was delicious. Perfectly toasted bun and easy to eat, I have no complaints about this sandwich!The onion rings were perfectly cooked, tender onion, crispy batter! I don’t like crunchy onions in onion rings, these were done just right.Stole some of my daughter’s fries, they were delicious! Perfectly seasoned and cooked, it was hard not to steal them all!My daughter and I had the strawberry lemonade, we both loved it. She’s a strawberry lemonade connoisseur and she raved about the muddled strawberries and the great flavor.The restaurant is cozy and warm, clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The staff is attentive and kind. Shout out to our waitress Cindy, she was so friendly and engaging and she did a great job! I appreciate she took an extra minute to chat with us as we paid, she was very welcoming as was the owner, Cathy.My only regret is that we hasn’t come in sooner as locals!! We love good food and this place is the newest addition to our list of regular places to eat!Thanks for the great food and experience! Can’t wait to return and try more options!

Girlfriend and I stopped here for brunchnon way to Ocotillo Wells. Nice inside, clean and comfortable. Food and service was mostly good. Only two minor issues was #1 hashbrowns and toast was almost swimming in butter or oil, so be sure to tell them to go easy on it. Photo shows empty hashbrown plate and you can see the oil. #2 All we wanted was a breakfast sand wich but the item was not on the menu. Server said they cant make it. Ridiculous. I said, do you have bread? Yes. Do you have eggs? Yes do you have a meat like sausage? Yes. Uh, you can't put them together to form a sandwich? Nope, they wouldnt do it. I literally had to build the greasy sandwich at the table. All ingredients tasted ok, just a little greasy.

We had a party of 5 for lunch, and everyone was impressed with their meals. We had the fried pickles (long thin slices, not the standard coins), and Aussie fries (large thick potato boats loaded with all the toppings) to start with, and then clam chowder (phenomenal), grown-up grilled cheese, Barn on fire burger, BBQ Chicken, and hot chicken sandwich. Portions were generous and flavors were expertly paired.They also offered slices of pie from the Julian pie company (located right next door)for dessert. We enjoyed the caramel apple, Dutch apple, and mountain berry, all served warm, and topped with ice cream on request.A trip to Farmhouse 78 is worth the drive if your in the San Diego area. We dove over an hour to come here and it was totally worth the time.

Went to Palomar mountain and end up Farmhouse 78Came here with friends. Restaurant had strong reviews. Reviews showed great menu with great food choices.Place was busy for a Saturday afternoon.We waited about 10-15 minutes for a party of 3. Which is pretty reasonable for today's restaurants.I chose the Jay-bird... Chicken sandwich with fries. My choice was perfect. The food came out in a timely manner. Our drinks were refreshed and plates cleared. Service was spot on and we were happy with our choices.Definitely coming back when we are in the area again. The reviews were spot on. Can't go wrong stopping here for breakfast / Lunch or Dinner

We came on a Saturday morning for a late breakfast. They were short handed - only 1 server for the entire dining room. But you’d never have known it - Wendy was amazing and managed the entire front of house with ease. The staff supported her at every step and was amazing. And the food came out fast and was soooo good! Highly recommend the topless mimosas. The house jam is stellar too. Awesome team, great experience!

Taking a Fall drive through the Laguna Mountains, we planned to grab a bite to eat in Julian. Unfortunately, on the weekends, Julian is insanely crowded so we opted to continue to Santa Ysabel. So glad we did because I discovered Farmhouse 78, a most excellent restaurant! The food is awesome and the service is very good. The pricing is reasonable and the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. I had the Reuben sandwich and my sons selected from their variety of burgers. They also have a full menu of other comfort foods. I highly recommend...

My uncle brought us here for a nice bike ride. The farmhouse is so big and modern compared to other restaurants in the area.They have such great sandwiches 🥪. The fish and chips are very crispy and the beer batter is amazing.

Food is way overpriced and very average at best. Ordered a burrito with bacon. No bacon. Won't be going back. 2 times in a row. Rude service, and I tipped then 20% for what? You need to retrain your staff. They had 4 tables of people with 3 waiters/waitresses, and they were like, "we are so busy and slammed." No, you're not. You're just slow, unproductive, and bad at your job. 2 times in a row, I waited to place an order, and nobody seemed to want to help me. They have an attitude, make lame excuses, and argue with me. My food was ready. And they said just give us a few minutes. My food is right there getting cold. All they have to do is hand it to me. Poor service.

I’ve eaten at a bunch of places in Julian, I expect the long wait and slow service but this place was good to go. We figured since it was on the outskirts it would be less busy and we were right. Greeted and seated immediately by friendly people. As everyone else said, big, bright and clean. Everyone was super friendly and drinks and food came fast. Now let’s talk food. Ordered the onion rings and Aussie fries for an appetizer. Guy at the table next to us said the rings were excellent. Rings came out first and were gone in a minute. Aussie fries were next and they took us back to the Del Mar fair. So good. I got the Reuben and baked potato salad. Great sandwich and the salad was good but I liked my son’s French fries better. Wife got the grilled cheese with brisket and she ate it all. My daughter got the crack chicken tacos which were spicy for her but the pickled vegetables and sweet kale salad on it balanced it out, we all loved it and despite other reviews, there were two big pieces of chicken on there. My son had the wagyu and wild boar burger medium rare, it was cooked correctly. It was excellent and we surprised our 11 year old liked it with the kale apple slaw. We over ordered and took home a lot of leftovers but it was worth it. We will be back for more. Thank you.

We came here around 11 a.m. and got seated right away. I ordered chicken tender with kale slaw and French fries. They’re all pretty tasty. The fish and chips were great as well. They also have apple cider and apple pie for dessert. I really like the southern style decorations. There are plenty of parking spots. A great place to visit.

On the way to Julian, CA., I've always passed by this unsuspecting little restaurant on the corner Hwy 78 and Hwy 79 intersection. (To be honest, we should stop at this corner to go to the Julian pie shop and just overlook this restaurant, BUT NOT NO MO!!).Wasn't sure what to expect walking in here, but was pleasantly surprised. The greetings were warm and we were seated fairly quickly.Our service was great and our server Wendy ( "like from Peter Pan", her words not mine) was attentive and great! She had some great recommendations and suggested we get the French toast ( $12). It was light with a great outside crunchy texture and chewy inside.Also, she suggested getting the hash browns with our orders vs. Farm potatoes. We ended up getting the Farmers Wife ($16), our friends the chicken and waffles ($17), and Mushroom frittata with a side of sausage patties. All pretty exceptional. Also, mimosas and beer are served here with suggestions of food pairings with beer!There is plenty of room for the family, toddlers, strollers so bring the fam.When you're in the area def drop by!Parking: Lots of spacesKid-friendliness: Stroller friendly

We had lunch here and it was fantastic. I had tomato basil soup that was really good. It was flavorful and came with tasty thick cut garlic toast. My husband had clam chowder that he said had a great flavor, a good consistency and lots of clams. I also had the fall salad that was incredibly good and huuuge. I had to take half of it home. My husband had the chicken pot pie that he said was good. It had more of a pastry crust than a pie crust that he really liked.

Stopped in for some lunch. We were told a 5 minute wait that turned in to 20 minutes. The decor and atmosphere was nice. It was very clean, however masks were not enforced. They had an event going on so down to one waitress (should have planned better). It took a long time to get our order taken and get drinks. My husband had chicken tenders and fries and I had a Rueben and onion rings. Once we got our food it was good, but not sure it was worth the wait. Wendy was very apologetic and nice but she needed help and it wasn't there for her. Not sure if we will go back.

Visit #2 April 2023. Today, Easter Sunday we went for our celebration. Just the two if us. Our wait staff was Wendy. Very cheerful and pleasing.Ordered the Farm Wife breakfast. There was more than enough food on the plate.However this time around, the crispy hash browns were very salty for my taste if eaten by themselves. Also the bottom of the hash browns were a little too charred (black) for my taste too. After eating them with the egg and salad it helped tone down the salt. The sourdough bread i ordered was very dry, it did have butter and came with jam. .My husband ordered the Ranch Hand Breakfast. He had the same opinion about the hashbrowns. Too salty, charred on the bottom. The two sausage patties was really over cooked to the point of being very dry, it also came this other potatoes which he did not eat and pancakes that were just okay in his opinion. This time around we were pretty disappointed in our food.Visit #1 March 2020Very clean, friendly, no rush attitude and our choice of food was really good.On this, our first visit, we chose, a salad, shrimp cocktail, clam chowder soup, mushroom ravioli, ribeye steak with baked potato, and hard cider with pomgranet.The dinner salad was enough for two people. So we decided to share this and the wait staff delivered the salad with two extra plates for sharing.The clam chowder was excellent, chunks of clams in every bite. We are always looking for a good tasting chowder. The chowder is served on a daily basis as well as a tomato basil soup.The ribeye steak was huge. Definetly enough for two and possibly three people. The menu states 14 -16 oz. serving sizeServings were generous and we were able to share with each other which was a good thing.They offer 3 different menus according to the meal time, breakfast, lunch or dinner. While some items are the same on each menu, there is a good variety of items to choose from.We do plan on returning and if you are in the area I would suggest you make Farmhouse 78 a stop on your travels you won't be dissappointed.

Grandma, dont wanna hurt your feelings, but this was pretty darn good. Tender for chicken fried steak and the gravy was deliciously rich. My new favorite breakfast place in east county. Update... tried most of their breakfast offerings. The fruit bowl is amazing too.

We eloped and decided to have dinner with a small group of family members here. Cathi and her team did a great job. The servers delivered excellent customer service but the food was another level, I was impressed by the amazing flavor and quality of the food, and so were my family. Every single person there complimented the food and asked me how I heard about the place. We plan on coming back to have lunch together soon. Thank you Farmhouse 78 for our beautiful apple spice cake, and thank you so much to the two great servers that took care of us.
