So tonight I had an amazing experience at Julia’s on Broadway. Diane the server was amazing she was on point and made sure that we were taking care of you throughout the night.
The management made sure that we had great service as I had friends that were out of town and had never been to any type of drug performance which this was not it was an experience that blew their minds away.
The staff was amazing from start to finish giving us pointers and tips on how to interact with the performers and offered up great ideas on special cocktails for the night that we were celebrating with friends. Diana Ross the night with prompt and service that was above and beyond what I ever expected from a cabaret type drag extravaganza.
If I have any tips to give I would say arrive early and go to the bar to get a drink from Jeffrey the bartender with a great personality and then as the management if you can sit in Diane’s section because she will take care of you all night long and provide the best service at a show that provides spectacular evening. My overall review of Julia show is full of bridal parties that are looking to have a great time and locals that are looking to see what new talent has come to the Seattle scene .
As a Seattle local or I have to say the new look feel and energy of Julia’s on Broadway is well worth a revisit if you’ve been there before. The management and the staff has really stepped it up. I give the new Julia’s on Broadway full endorsement.

Good food. Good show. We were happy with the service and atmosphere until we got the bill. We were overcharged for some wine, and when we told the waiter he said fixed it but had added an extra 10% house charge, doubling the original house charge we received. This dishonest practice left a bad taste in our mouth.

Le Faux was AMAZING! The service was horrible. We were over charged for our drinks. The waiter seemed totally clueless when we asked questions about the menu. Completely recommend the show, check your tab!

Good food, but the service was lacking. Maybe it was our serverMs first day, or maybe he was hungover from New Year’s Eve, but he could have done a much better job.

I was a fan of the Wallingford location. I have been going there since the 90s.
However I went to this location this past weekend and the food was really lackluster.
My omelet was cold.
We saw a show and enjoyed it but I am not too happy that we had a Unilocal coupon (for just checking in there on Unilocal) and they didnt seem to know what to do with it!!! In fact they really gave me the runaround. Then when trying to correct it I now see they ran a 2nd authorization on my card/​tying up another 100+ dollars! Would you go back?

Wow! I went to Julia’s last friday night for the first time in about a year and a half, and boy have they stepped it up! It was my birthday and I went to the show with friends. Michael the GM got us seats up front and the staff treated us like royalty. And the show! It was amazing! The divas, the dancers, the costumes, the arial act, all of it was just wonderful! Thank you Julia’s, Michael, and staff for a really great birthday night to remember!

Went here for a bachelorette party, the food is not good. Asked for a burger medium and it was so dry I couldn’t even cough it down with ketchup. When I tired to complain the server ignored me. Will not be coming here again

Came here for a bachelorette party and honestly had the best time! I’m pretty conservative and wasn’t sure how I’d feel about men dressed up as women but the atmosphere and all the people were sooo kind, talented, wonderful, and lovely, that my perception was completely changed. It was truly an unbelievable show and I was thoroughly impressed and amazed. The food and drinks were great! We were in VIP seats and thought the performers would interact with us more than they did, but we still had a great time. It was a night full of lots of fun and laughter, the servers were so friendly and attentive, and I think we all went home swooning over Karsten! ;)

Great place to relax and get a drink on Broadway in cap hill. Service was a bit slow but friendly. Felt welcomed even though we we stood out as the straightest, most boring people on the planet. I had the sweaty Moscow bull cocktail (no idea what’s in it) and fish and chips. Good pub food. Nothing more. I’d go back for sure.

After work, Capitol Hill, on Broadway, Happy Hour time, where shall we start? No one planned where we would start? Let’s go to Julia’s since a few of us have never been and it was a stone’s throw away.
Pretty good choice to kick start the engines! Came by and it was pretty empty so we were able to pick a table. Server came over quickly to welcome us, provided us with water and HH menus to check out. They have $ 5 Long Island Iced Teas and $ 4 draft beers, got a round of drinks and checked the menu some more for some snack items as we were a little peckish. Pretty good selections of snack items and all $ 5 during HH. Food was ok from hummus plate to the french fries.
Probably come back for more HH there, since pricing is good and centrally located for other neighboring shenannigans. Service was fine as the place wasnt busy at all. Gotta come by during brunch to check out their shows. Who doesn’t love Cher?

Randomly walked in, was dead, but got busy fast.
We got drinks and split nachos. Delicious nachos! Pulled pork and yummy seasoning on it. Filled us up quick. Collin J was our server and was very attentive. Breakfast looked yummy. If we weren’t full, we would of ordered

Why wouldn’t anyone give this spot a 5 star review?! Y’all are crazy! I would have paid double for this show! They also have awesome coupons if you check into Unilocal before buying your tickets.
The divas are not amateurs, they are prettier than me and all my friends combined and truly talented. You can tell they carefully hand pick their talent. I was laughing from beginning to end. Their dancers are super entertaining too! You can tell that they don’t just do this for fun, I even picked out some that looked classically trained. All around perfection! They impersonate the celebs perfectly!
The atmosphere has crazy good energy! You can clap, scream and let loose! It is a screaming good time!
The only thing I didn’t like was the servers got in the way of seeing the show for a few moments from time to time from my aisle seat, but I got over it.

Julia’s represents Capitol Hill at its finest. It is very Seattle and you have to try it once if you are ever in town.
We came here for a Sunday brunch and the drag show. The drag show is $ 20 per person unless you choose the VIP seating.
The show is pretty interesting. The art of tucking everything in so that it would be seamless is pretty amazing. Some of the songs were older and I did not even know them, but most of them were pretty awesome. The costumes were pretty amazing and the whole show was fun to watch.
The seating is pretty miserable though. I feel like they want to fit as many people as possible in the room and as a result, I was admiring other spectators’ hair dye job for at least half of the show. The quality is being lowered at the expense of quantity.
The food is just two stars. I got eggs Benedict as usual and it is very unfortunate to say that it was the worst eggs Benedict I have ever had. Everything about that food was wrong. On the plus side, the service was amazing and our server, Amy was really attentive and nice. The drinks were not good either. It would have been a better decision to just go there for the show and not dine in, but I am not sure if it is an option.
The price tag was another downside. My brunch plus a drink came down to $ 32 (18% gratuity was included), I had a $ 10 discount for checking in on Unilocal,but still, the food was far far from $ 32.
Overall, I enjoyed the show and the show was the only reason I am giving this place three stars. But it was low quality food for a high price and is not worth another visit.

LOVE Julia’s!
+1 star for their awesomely friendly staff and allowance of dogs outside
+1 for no huge lines/​wait times during breakfast and brunch hours. The place is never overly crowded unless it’s during show times.
+ 1 for good food!
+1 for drag shows and patio seating!
When I want brunch… I don’t want to wait for an hour. It means I’m hungry… like NOW. I have ventured over to Julias a couple times now and to my surprise landed a patio spot each time! Also, I had my dog with me once and they were totally OK with that. Score. Mimosas?! Yes please. They come in a large wine glass and are delicious. Their brunch menu is full of goodies and their spanish type fajita omelet is definitely tasty. As it came with potatoes and toast it was more food than I could eat for sure. Plus, the prices are more than fair here. Yay for leftovers!
Staff is on point, professional, friendly, and good at what they do. The place in general is eclectic and just a nice spot to hang out and chill. I haven’t been in for anything other than breakfast but they sure do have a great looking menu. Certainly recommended!

The atmosphere here is fun. The cocktails are great. The food is just average. I had Nutella and banana crepes. They were cold (premade) with almost no Nutella. I was pretty disappointed. I would come for the fun and the drinks but eat somewhere else. That said we didn’t try many things so maybe if have better luck with something else? Service was great.

I took a group of people there Saturday night for my sister’s bachelorette party. We purchased the VIP package, which is fun because for dinner they decorate your table with confetti and balloons. You also get penis straws, a champagne toast and a penis cake. So fun! The food is ok… not terrible, but it just doesn’t really have much flavor. That being said, the service was very attentive and super friendly/​accommodating. These guys went above and beyond in that category.
Around 9, the establishment shifts from a restaurant to a theatre. Everyone gets up and moves out of the restaurant, and it only takes about 15 minutes for them to take out the tables and arrange the chairs. The one downside was that they don’t have air conditioning, so it does get pretty hot in there.
Since we purchased the VIP package we got to sit right upfront, which was such a fun experience. They also called my sister onstage and talked with her. She was so thrilled.
Their drag show is the best I’ve ever seen. I saw Ru Paul’s Drag Race when they came to town last year, and this was far better. The costumes are dazzling, and the impersonations are incredibly spot on… My favorite was Taylor Swift! I mean, wow… perfect, right down to the body language.
If you’re a fan of drag shows, you won’t be disappointed!

I went to Julia’s for the Sunday Brunch Drag Show recently for a friend’s birthday celebration — what an experience.
The Show: First and foremost, there was some superb tucking skills going on. I’m not going to lie, I spent just as much time watching the entertaining show as I did trying to figure out where the twig and berries were hiding. I was impressed! Kristi Champagne (one of the hosts) was pretty darn funny, and for me, one the highlights of the show. While some of the songs were current, I felt most of the songs were old school and should have been updated. (Why do all drag shows incorporate YMCA and ABBA? Stop the madness, people.)
Unless you’re by the stage, the seating sucks. I was stuck staring at the man’s ponytail in front of me far too often. OH yeah, the show is $ 20 unless you want VIP seats up front.
Food & Drink: Alcoholic drinks averaged about $ 12 according to the menu. Can’t really made a general comment on the food, but I had the small pulled pork nachos for $ 8 and they were pretty good, and was a large portion.
Glad I went, and might go back again if I were given free tickets but more than likely, it’s one and done for me.

Very entertaining Sunday Brunch show. I was under the impression from looking at one of their flyers /​advertisements that there would be one «star of the show» so it was a nice surprise when multiple performers did their thing! I love that their number 1 rule is, «Tip a bitch!» LOL. Yes, momma! Oh, that’s another rule. Always reply with «Yes, momma» when told!
A bit crowded, but not uncomfortable. The drink menu is absolutely hilarious, along with being good as hell. I got the vaginal rejuvenation. Do you know what it’s like telling someone out loud that you want that? Also, I’m surprised at all the reviews that say they have bad food. I can’t say that it was 5-​star gourmet Tom Douglas food being served, but I did enjoy it and ordered the nachos twice in one sitting. Hey, no one told you to judge me. Hush.
During the show, one of the queens shot her balls at the crowd. Each of her balls had numbers on them and the numbers got you a prize. I was a lucky girl and caught a ball with one hand. Yup, one handed ball catcher over here. So it looks like I’ll be returning to Julia’s for a night or afternoon of fun with the gift certificate that I won reaaaaal soon.

It’s on Broadway… Just in case you couldn’t tell by the name.
Seriously though, it’s a place to grab a quick bite if you’re in the neighborhood and don’t want to wait/​think too much. My bf says the food has gone downhill a little… I’m hoping they improve their quality some as it seems to have potential.
We had brunch here after the holidays and while it was decent, they were lacking in a couple spots. The cinnamon yum yums (basically cinnamon rolls cooked like french toast) were pretty good but I don’t think they let one of the slices soak in the egg long enough as half the roll was dry and hard. The other parts of it were good though. My omelet wasn’t anything special… and actually was lacking in the salt department, but I guess that wasn’t so bad because the overly salty potatoes made up for it??? We also had the pesto chicken ciabatta sandwich which was way too saucy (with balsamic glaze) and the flavor of the glaze overpowered the chicken and pesto.
I’d say that this place is a solid 2.5* It’s not quite «A-​OK», but neither is it «Meh». The food was almost there… but not quite, and with the holidays just behind us, I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt (hoping they were just tired or something). Also, they had really attentive service and with the $ 10 off a $ 30 meal when you check in on Unilocal,the price was definitely in the ballpark for what you got.
