Julia's Talley House Restaurant
The Verdict
Julia's Talley House is Troutman's Southern comfort food spot. The fried chicken is crispy and well-seasoned, the sides are homemade, and the atmosphere feels like eating at a friend's house. It is not fancy, but the food is honest and filling. The sweet tea is sweet, just like it should be.
