We went to Trojan Patio a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning with a group of 5 (three adults, two kids.) The atmosphere is more cramped than you'd expect from the outside, with limited seating options and a rather small inside area. There was some outside seating but it was very cold and windy the day we went and that was expectedly empty. We were able to cram the 5 of us into a booth (good thing kids are small!). Service was decent though understaffed, and our server was very friendly! Trojan Patio definitely meets expectations for a local breakfast diner. The grill is visible, and no, it doesn't look like strict cleanliness is the first priority (but let's be real, that adds flavor right?) The menu had many options, and adults and children alike were equally satisfied with our meals. The coffee was good and served quickly. Really my only complaint is around the cramped space, which I realize is hard for them to correct. It's a great local dive for breakfast and with more space, I can imagine they would thrive! We're rarely in Sparta, but would not hesitate to return next time we're up there. read more

Great food! We had the BLT (added an egg over easy) and a club sandwich with buffalo chips. Club was meaty and delish. The BLT was also great. The egg was perfect. Nice outdoor seating. I recommend if you want a great sandwich.. nothing fancy. read more

Wow, this place is great! It's a small hole in the wall restaurant and I almost drove past it. I got the ultimate breakfast skillet with three mini pancakes. Everything about it was great - the price was extremely reasonable given the amount of food. Everything was cooked well and all of the flavors mixed together to form a great combo. The one thing I really liked about the added onions and peppers is that they weren't overcooked and still had a crunch. I stopped here on the way to a hike but if I lived nearby I would make it a regular weekend stop for breakfast. read more

Today was the first meal-and it was a take out. Nothing too fancy, Just wanted a cheeseburger and French fries. Upon taking the first bite, my burger was too close to raw to eat. It was also swimming in mayo and ketchup. I gave the burger to our dog... she had no complaints. Still, I feel Ike it was a "once and done experience". I guess I could forgive either near raw meat or oozing with mayo and ketchup..., but not both. read more

My first breakfast as a transplant resident in Sparta 6years ago and it is by far the best breakfast place. Love the country vibe and how welcoming everyone is. read more

A hidden gem in Sparta! We decided to take a road trip towards the mountains and wandered towards Sparta. After some digging around, we chose the Trojan Patio for lunch. We are so glad we did! We opted to sit outside since it was beautiful out. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. We never had an empty drink the entire time we were there. Several in our group ordered the Trojan Summer Salad. They loved it! The combo of the feta, dried cranberries and almonds made the salad super tasty. I ordered the patty melt and it was delicious! The sauce they use is really good. I also ordered a side of fried okra which was so good. For good diner food, look no further. The Trojan Patio is definitely worth a visit. read more

Thrilled I found this place! Damn good BLT. Better than my mom's! The waffle fries were perfect! And the ranch divine! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Quick kind service and incredibly affordable! Looks like it's a local favorite and I can tell why! read more

We waited a good while for a table to be cleaned with plenty available. Then when they finally took our order we waited over 30 min and still didn't get our food. Nothing fancy ordered. We feel balky got up and left after the people beside us told us they waited over an hour!! read more

Trojan Patio - two people sitting at a table outside a restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sparta, North Carolina

Fancy? Um, no. But clean and very friendly. In software engineering we often tell our customers to pick 2: fast, cheap, or good. Trojan Patio isn't fast. This was, however, as good a Southern breakfast as I've had and for $8 I could barely finish it. Two large biscuits with a bowl of peppery sausage gravy, hash browns, two eggs, and a couple slices of lightly fried country ham. My wife said the cinnamony French toast and country potatoes were great, too. No idea whether lunch is any good here, but breakfast is killer. read more

Good people good food food environment people are super nice a d the food is always fresh

Food is always fantastic here. It's the local "greasy spoon". Best breakfast you'll find. I love the Trojan Pile!!

A hidden gem! Located in a shopping center with the true diner experience. The food was fantastic! The Trojan Pile or the Breakfast Platter will leave you full and satisfied with all the yummy basics of breakfast. All of the severs were helping each other to ensure everyone had what they needed. Ask to eat outside when it's not too hot. There's more room out there! read more

Eat here! Great hometown diner. We were diverted off the Blue Ridge Parkway due to road closure and stopped for breakfast. We both got the "pile" (homefries, ham, bacon, cheese, 2 eggs and toast or biscuit for $5.99) and were very impressed. It was no frills but super tasty. She even brought a second orange juice when we were getting low without asking for no charge. My only complaint was it was super salty but we were eating ham and bacon. That was to be expected. read more

This is my favorite place to eat breakfast! The low prices and the friendly staff makes it a great start to any day. The fact that you can order breakfast anytime of the day makes it even better. read more

We stopped in our way to drop kids at Camp cheerio. The food was excellent. One of the best burgers I've had. Good variety if sides. I suggest the fried pickles and fried okra. Fries and buffalo chips also good. read more

Terrible service while on duty a waitress went out to the parking lot with her boyfriend for a few minutes while busy plus a bigger table got the food first even though we ordered first spoke to the boss all she said was sorry we're backed up. Food good just bad service read more

A must try restaurant! Fresh, hot breakfast all day, waffle house style. Great prices, and the service is amazing!

A great little hole in the wall! Service was good and the Trojan Pile was yummy!! Definitely recommend.

A terrific little diner, not expected in Sparta North Carolina. Specializing in breakfast and lunch, the food is freshly prepared, flavorful, and plentiful. You must try the "Pile", a layered mixture of crisp hash browns, bacon, ham, 2 eggs layered over top - extraordinary! For a flavor sensation, substitute the liver-mush for the ham, it's the bomb! The coffee cup was never empty. I'd highly recommend the Trojan Patio read more

What a great find!! After backpacking with friends for a weekend; we were starving!! We had make your own omelettes and burgers. The choices for the omelette fixings was great; and no extra cost. And it was huge!! The burgers were juicy and stacked high!! My friend got the bacon cheese burger and onion rings. She ate it all!! At the end of our meal, our waitress brought us each a warm cookie. Great service and yummy food! read more
