Stopped in for lunch with my furbaby. I had the appetizer salad, fish sandwich, and tea and she had a burger. All for $25! You can't beat these 1990 prices. Food was excellent. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Will definitely return. There is outdoor seating with shade read more

Cute diner! Was really busy but that meant the food was good and it was. Great service too!!

Stopped here for lunch on our way back home after a nice weekend in the mountains. It's a lot like our diner back at home. The staff is really friendly and accommodating. We ordered the BLT and an open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and both were delicious. Their fries are really crispy and the best! This restaurant does require masks. read more

I was so excited to eat here ever since I saw it while driving a few months ago while I was visiting my sister here at App. We finally got to try it today, and it was amazing. First of all, the place itself is super cute. I've never eaten at a diner before so it was really cool. I got the Cheeseburger (no mayo or onion, add bacon and lettuce) and a side of fries. It was super good. The burger was perfect, even the bun was soft and yummy. The fries were amazingly crisp too. After that, my sister and I shared a chocolate milkshake. It was huge. It was really good, but I could tell it was made with Nesquik chocolate syrup. I'm not the biggest fan of that syrup compared to other chocolate stuff, but this milkshake was pretty good. Anyways, I totally recommend this place :) read more

Quick friendly service, good diner food with a meat and 2 part of the menu. Country fried steak with fried okra and green beans. One odd thing, though....at the end of the receipt, there was recommendations for 20, 30 and 40% (!). read more

Troys always good. Lot of variety on menu. Service good. Breakfast all day if you want. Can get half a salad if you don't want big salad.

This is the spot for breakfast. Old school diner a short drive from Banner Elk or Blowing Rock. The shortest line we could find on a Saturday morning but it moved very quickly. Huge plates full of food. (I'm a big fella). The sausage links are stupid good. Very clean! Super friendly service. All the Covid precautions. Highly recommend!! Take it from a chef (Master Chef Season 10), this place is legit! read more

Troy's 105 Diner - Big delicious plates of hot food! - Diners Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Excellent choice, it's a diner right out of the 50s what's not to love. Good size menu lots of choices including local favorites and classic diner food. Place was crowded the day we stop for lunch but we are able to get Radion staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my seafood basket that I got portion sizes were good pricing was reasonable. Daughter really enjoyed her grilled cheese and she love the classic car that the meal comes in for the kids. My wife had a salad and it was good size and she had leftover. All in all it was a good visit everything went smooth and no hiccups. When we find ourselves back in Boone we will sure stop here again highly recommend it. read more

Really good food at a reasonable price. Everyone's breakfasts were delicious and served quickly. Our server Zachariah was very friendly. Definitely will be back next time we are in Boone! read more

Absolutely great atmosphere and super friendly staff! The hospitality was outstanding, but the food was even better. GET THE MAC AND CHEESE BITES!!! They are so delicious and honestly we wanted more. I had the club sandwich and my husband had the cowboy burger, all the food was amazing. We were way too full for dessert, but from what we saw that looked just as good as the food. If you're ever close stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

Reminiscent of old fashioned, greasy spoon diner of yore. 50's motif is a nostalgic piece of history. Not many true diners left. I used to frequent diners after a night of rebel rousing. Nothing like a late night of breakfast after partying hearty! But this time, we stopped in for a quick lunch. Didn't feel like breakfast so I ordered a hot open turkey with fries and green beans. Food was middle of the road. Canned green beans taste nothing like freshly made and has 0 nutritional value. But we filled our bellies and didn't break the bank. Hubby liked his food and shake. read more

Food: Was very disappointed in serving size for the cost of the meal. Meat portion was extremely small and burnt. Mashed potatoes was approximately two heaping tablespoons worth spread out to look like you were getting something. I ate there last year at this time and was quite pleased however this time was horribly dissatisfied. The place was not busy when we went to eat, so it is not like they were in a rush to make our food. Will not return....EVER! read more

Super busy place so yes you will have a bit of a wait. We waited just under ten minutes for a table. With that said this place is amazing. Staff is so friendly. Food is the best. Their biscuits are perfect! Chili is amazing with just the right kick. Highly recommend this place. The short wait you will have for a table is definitely worth it. read more

this places food is legit some of the best I've had, as well I mean the price of the food is so dang good. I love the Philly cheese steak, I put some bacon on that thang and dang it's good, as well every server I've gotten has been the most kind and caring server I remember one time I even went with my friends and our tickets got mixed up and one of them gave his own dollar to him (we gave him the dollar back and a good tip) but also I love the vibe of the place really is like the old restaurants in them movies love yall read more

Ate here 2 days in a row. Both times we were greeted at the door and seated promptly. Dinner when we arrived in town - chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes, white gravy and corn. The corn was a little mushy but everything else was great. Chicken was very tasty and had plenty of gravy. 2nd day breakfast - I had a waffle and my son had the French toast. Both cooked well and tasty. Coffee was good too. Service was great & friendly staff. Loved the Elvis and Marilyn theme. read more

Great food, eggs cooked right the first time (lots of other places don't!), friendly servers, and even though busy, we got in quick and service was prompt. Our favorite breakfast place when we are in Blowing Rock/Boone! read more

I absolutely love this place! Late 50s aesthetic. Definitely a hole in the wall place! The food is a bit pricy considering it's southern junk food, but everything i've had i've loved so far. Their milkshakes are amazing and so cute. I took my friend there on a date and she loved it too. Shoutout to Mattie our last waitress. (She was super great ) read more

Neat place, staff fantastic. Food was good, not spectacular. Milkshakes were pretty epic tho!

We were all well pleased with our meals. My wife loved the French toast and bacon. I had the Belgian waffle and soy breakfast sausage and eggs and my picky grandson ate his scrambled eggs. Highly recommend! read more

Mecca was so polite and to care of my large party with ease, not to mention the food was so tasty! Definitely going back the next time I'm in Boone! read more

super fun vibe and wait staff were on top of everything. it was busy, but got seated right away. the food was delicious. i ordered breakfast and my husband got lunch. both hearty proportions. read more

I understand staffing is an issue. Everywhere. But if you see people are waiting to be seated. Don't ignore them. Rather, look him in the eye and say "I'll be with you as soon as I can." Making me Wait and wonder if I'll be seated in 5 minutes, or 45 minutes just doesn't work for me. Want a good tip? Give me good service. I know what you're dealing with. But ignoring the people who are bringing you money is not what I'm willing to deal with. That being said, the food here is always decent to good. It is a cool old-fashioned diner type place, which is fun. And I usually give four or five stars here. Unfortunately, today, the circus required three. read more

Food was soo good! Service was amazing! Ambiance was great! Loved the 50's look with the seats at the counter! The servers were so nice and friendly. The kitchen staff were amazing too! It was so busy when we got there. The linenwas out the door and waited for about 10 minutes! read more

My husband and I have breakfast at Troys at least once a week. Great food, friendly, fast service!

This edition of Excited about Eating takes us to an old-time diner packed with old-fashioned memorabilia, Troy's 105 Diner in Boone, NC. This diner has all of the favorites like homemade soup, salads, 1/2 lb burgers, and their famous milkshakes. Dora here. Milkshakes? How come we haven't ordered a milkshake? Note to self: Must remedy that! Actually, we've eaten here a few times now. Right off Hwy 105, they're convenient and close to our mountain home and have saved us from driving all the way back into Boone or Blowing Rock when other restaurants high on our list are packed. This time we were aiming for Sunrise Grill but did not want to risk a 45-minute wait with two starving grandkiddos. lol. And, when you can't decide between breakfast and lunch, sometimes you just need a good old-fashioned diner fix! I chose the Carolina Cheddar Burger, a 1/2 lb burger topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, and tomato, and blanketed with chili and coleslaw. For non-Carolinian's, anything served Carolina style is covered with chili and slaw. The burger was huge, juicy, and messy so that you have to eat it with a fork, but it was great, and as usual, the slaw added the perfect crunch. The onion rings were plentiful and crispy and were the perfect match for the burger. Dora here. After enjoying their French Toast the last time, I opted for lunch today, the Grilled Asian Marinated Chicken. The chicken was tender and well-grilled, and the pineapple added another dimension. Maybe they should rename it, though, because the Asian marinade was not even noticeable. At first glance, the macaroni and cheese does not look appealing, but it was tasty and cheesy. I would order this again. What's your favorite diner and diner food? We'd love to know! Ernie & Dora Hiers, Fiction Faith & Foodies Blog http://bit.ly/2qmgBAr read more

Great food. My 4 year old dominated her massive pancake. Everything else was good and they have great sweet tea.

Very good food and reasonably priced. Waitress was attentive and sweet. This will be on our list of the places to dine when in the area. I think it's sad that they have to add gratuity to the bill and the amount added would have been an insult to the waitress. Please take care of the people that show up to work to serve you. read more

Good option for a small meal today. Only issue I had was a portion of the chicken tenderloin was really rubbery and inedible. Just the end though and I was full on just a half meal. Hubby liked his meatloaf. May give them a try for breakfast tomorrow. read more

Recent trip there. The food was pretty good overall, although I thought the ice cream was subpar. BE AWARE! If you are with a group, they will automatically put an 18% tip on the bill. You have zero input, no matter how you think the waitress did. This is the first time in my entire life I was handed a bill at a restaurant where they had calculated the tip (to their favor, not the customers). Is it wrong and I will never go back there. Then had the audacity to hand me a slip to sign and it had ANOTHER place for more tip. read more

Troy's was absolutely terrific for brunch today! If I lived nearby, I'd eat make myself a regular. But, I do not live in or near Boone, so I'm grateful my one attempt at brunch was a win! On the recommendation of a local, five of us went to get some brunch at Troy's. Shockingly enough, the wait time at 10:30am was only 10 - 15 minutes. We were happy to find ourselves in a large comfortable booth. There, we happily perused the menu and were in awe of the very affordable prices. All of us ordered waters, with one ordering a coffee and me asking for a hot chocolate since I saw that they had a machine. Well, that machine made the best hot chocolate I've ever had in my entire life. That and the whipped cream they put on top with a little drizzle of chocolate syrup. After seeing my hot chocolate and hearing my rave, a friend also ordered one. Simply divine. I wish I had a machine like that for myself. Actually, I'm glad I don't because I'd make it and probably fail at making it the same way or drink too much of it. We placed our ordered and less than 15 minutes, 5 large plates arrived. Three of us ordered Flo's Frenchie. 3 slices of French toast, 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and 2 pieces of sausage (pattie or link). I had my eggs over medium and my sausage as patties. Everything was cooked perfectly. Just the right amount of cinnamon in the French toast. Just a little bit of run in the eggs. Just the right amount of flavor in the crisp bacon and perfect flavor in the sausage as well, with both the bacon and sausage hardly being greasy at all. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their food as well, but I'm the only person who won the battle to polish off every bite of the food on their plate. Definitely check out Troy's if you're in town! read more

Great diner with a typical breakfast. Prices are reasonable. The food was served fast and hot. Staff was friendly and attentive.

We ate breakfast here and my boys (who are very picky 3 and 4 year olds) chowed down hard. They loved the sausage, eggs and the Mickey Mouse shaped pancake. I had sausage gravy on a biscuit and bacon and eggs, the wife had a Cheese omelet, grits and one of their homemade biscuits with butter and jam. Awesome atmosphere, excellent service, just a really great traditional diner. Will definitely eat here again! read more

Stopped at Troy's with a couple coworkers after driving by. We each enjoyed the food we had. I had a BLT which was well proportioned, good bacon and not too much mayo. It came with fries, the seasoned kind that seemed battered. Quick to order, food came quick and drink never ran dry. The place was busy - so others clearly like it as well! Will go back with thw fam! read more

The food was amazing. We all got something different. We had pulled pork, salad, biscuits and gravy, and a Ruben. All fantastic we got the banana split which was great and huge. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more
