“The best food in NC, hands down.”

William Rowe, Catawba, a member of EnergyUnited

With its distinctive, iconic American diner look, Troy’s 105 Diner in Boone has a rich history in the community. A bright neon “Diner” sign beckons and so, too, does nostalgia for a fun, downhome experience. This throwback to a 1950s-style diner — with its walls lined with original photos, posters, and musical memorabilia —is the perfect backdrop for diner fare that aims to please.

Troy’s 105 features daily specials and a menu full of comfort food that will leave you feeling like you’ve been wrapped in a warm hug. The menu has something for everyone, from its homemade soups to hand-pattied burgers. Breakfast specialties are served all day and are one of the most popular choices, as are homemade spaghetti and meatloaf. They also serve such favorites as country fried steak or chicken, and lighter fare like sandwiches and salads. Desserts like the homemade banana split always please.
