“Fabulous home-style country cooking, and cheap!!! We ate from the “all you can eat” cafeteria line for lunch and couldn’t find a thing we didn’t like. Really yummy Peach Cobbler! Dinner is family style and the folks there are so warm and friendly we can’t wait to go back.”

“This place rocks at lunchtime. The fried chicken is crisp and not too greasy, the veggies not mushy, the selections more than adequate, and the portions more than generous. I’d make a special trip there for the chicken and fried okra. Or the cobbler, or the . . .”

“Home cooking (Southern Style) is what you expect when you hear the name “Julia’s Talley House” and that’s what you get. I was raised on Farm house cooking and this was to me an awesome meal. My church group went here on an outing and I might say it was a pleasant experience. Thanks to the staff that wait tables ,cashier, and the cooks scale of 1 to 10 10 being tops I give you a 11.”

“Southern Gem. Great atmosphere as the restaurant is in a old southern house. Very friendly and hospitable staff. Decided to eat from the buffet. All the choices looked good and freshly made (hard to chose). Had the fried chicken and sides, with the fried apples (tasted just like a fresh homemade apple pie). We will eat here again next time we are in Troutman. Highly recommend you stop here as well.”

“Drove by this restaurant one night and notice it was packed. Gave it a try for lunch one day with the family. What a gem good food friendly staff. The prices can’t be beat for the quality of the food they serve.”

“Delicious home cooking with all the fixins… Staff is always super sweet. Go for dinner and get the family style where they bring massive amounts of food to your table or go through the buffet line like K&W cafeteria and pay for what you want.
If you go during lunch , they have a lunch buffet for 8$.. I love their fried chicken. I’ve been craving it since I went and have already been 3 times in 2 weeks. Go check them out if you haven’t already. If your appreciate good southern cooking, you’ll be in love…”

“Wonderful. We have been talking about stopping by for a few months and Friday (25 at 600pm) we did. What have I been missing. We walked in a side door. tables and chairs in rooms everywhere. We asked a staff and she very helpful and polite explained how the cafeteria line and the family style worked. We tried the cafeteria line and we were not disappointed. The country ham was good along with the Salisbury steak which was tender. You don’t need teeth to eat it. The fried chicken well cant say enough. The vegetable and desserts we had along with the meal, Good!”

“We selected Julia’s House to provide the main course for a special birthday party. We had invited a number of locals as well as several folks from out of state to our birthday party. There was never a question on what we wanted served for lunch….Talley House chicken! Talley House has a special place in my heart and always will for the outstanding job that they did for this occasion. There were 70+ people and we had to pick up the chicken and transport about 45 mins. before it was served. They took the extra time and effort to prepare the chicken for the trip so that when it arrived it was ready to serve. Due to their packing procedure, it was juicy and crispy (which is a difficult thing to accomplish). It was the hit of the party! (I might add that the price was very affordable.) This family owned establishment continues to fill tummys and smiles. Thank you to all of you for your hard work.”

“I go out of my way while traveling to stop here. The fried chicken is the best I’ve had in NC and it has an awesome family atmosphere. Great people and service as well.”

“Always delicious food and the service is always great. The chicken is the best in the state, it has flavor all the way through and not just the crust.”
