Saturday evenings they have real nice soft life music in keeping with the peaceful atmosphere. The meals have been interesting and delicious. Love the rotating menu.

We've driven past here several times while in the area and finally decided to stop in this winter…read more I'm glad we did. We also ate here this spring. Both times has its charms! Food (5/5): Best grilled cheese! We always split one and get the daily soup. We've not been disappointed. If you get a bottle of wine you pay a corkage fee. Service (5/5): Always nice service here! Ambiance (4/5): This reminds me of being in an eclectic country house. The rustic decor reminds me of a grandma- perfect for the country grandma vibe!

Please remember your face mask as that is required for this business regardless of vaccination status. Upon entering the building the heavenly smells of savory and sweet tickled my senses! The menu of sweet and savory items do change from week to week (a few seem to remain constant). They do allow for call in orders and special orders. Today I ended up getting the lemon zinger, Butterscotch pie, and Chocolate Mocha to go. I was so excited I didn't remember to get a photo of all three before I started getting into the box of goodies. Each item I sampled was divine!!! I highly recommend this place!!

Firkin Pie is such a gem in the Staunton area.

We picked up: +Sausage Roll (with ground pork, caramelized onions, sage, and thyme) with housemade honey mustard +the New Zealand beef and cheddar (served with ketchup) +the Chicken Pot Pie (frozen to-go; with thyme, peas, corn, carrots, celery, and chicken in a creamy gravy) +Coconut Pecan pie +Key Lime pie These pies were so delicious, especially that Sausage Roll and the New Zealand beef and cheddar! Their handmade crusts are buttery, flaky, and are not too dense; the fillings are so flavorful and seasoned perfectly! The staff here are super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell that they love what they do! Indoor dining doesn't seem open currently, but that doesn't seem to deter the locals from order and taking their items to-go!

Just a small health food provisions place plus eatery. I'd be more inclined to rate it higher but I…read morereally didn't understand the super small and skinny bacon. I had breakfast there to try to eat stuff that was well sourced. But I don't know where they got the bacon from. I would rather pay twice as much money and get more food to be honest with you.

The egg sandwich was fluffy with perfectly melted cheddar and perfectly toasted bread. The burrito…read morebowl, consisting of brown rice, beans, salsa, eggs and cheese, relied a bit too much on the salsa for flavor. The turkey croissant was packed to the gills. The smoked salmon was caper and onion forward and the cranberry orange muffin was pretty good although it crumbled quickly. Service was at the counter so no opportunities for deeper engagement although they certainly could have come out more to clean the all unclean tables. The chips were the real star, locally made yet not available for purchase. What in the world!! Overall, everyone was pleased with their meal. Cleanliness and punching up flavors would take this to a five star review.

This is a cozy, friendly deli with tasty food. I had the…read moreItalian Sub - a small name for a yummy sandwich. Inside of a fresh sandwich roll was pork salami (sopressata), a more standard salami, pepperoni and capicola (ham). Delly Up adds banana peppers, red onions and a lively and a tasty house-made Italian dressing. I really liked the balance between the strong meats and the basil and other Italian spices in the dressing. Yay!

This place was somewhere between good and really good for me. I wasn't blown away in any way but…read morewas satisfied. It's I pretty standard gourmet sandwich shop with the aesthetics of a bar. Kind of right in my ball park. My sandwich was okay. The beer was good. And the price was high but not astronomical. For Waynesboro this is a pretty neat little place. Would come again.

Had quick lunch here and since I ordered the Krautworst platter the pictures turned out obscene,…read morebut very good none-the-less! The issue with this restaurant is that they need to minimize two things: the selection on their menu is as cluttered as their "gift shop." They have some interesting ideas on the menu but it needs to be revamped and the gift shop is cluttered and claustrophobic with no real concept. If they are going to have a gift shop it needs to focus on one to two concepts (my preference being a wine selection).

The wait staff is friendly & attentive…read more There is one narrow doorway entrance leading in from the gift shop, and when you walk into the small room where everybody sits, every single person looks up at you. Can you say, "Fish bowl"? lol, we were the youngest people there, and we aren't whippersnappers anymore, sonny-boy! But once you get past that rather awkward moment, this is a pleasant place to have lunch & try something with a blast from the past that isn't the same-ol, same-ol tiresome franchise. I had what they call the "Mexican Dream," which is a baked potato topped with chili con carne & cheese. I wanted to love it, but it fell short. I want to try something else soon, because they have an intriguing variety. They have 'different' (meaning more unique) offerings on the menu, but our food seemed to be re-heated frozen fare, and we have not gone back quite yet, but plan to one day. They might have been having an off-day, and everyone was so friendly that they deserve a second chance to impress. Link to their interesting menu: http://thepurplefootwaynesboro.com/cs/Satellite?blobcol=urlfile&blobheader=application%2Fpdf&blobheadername1=Content-Disposition&blobheadervalue1=inline%3B+filename%3Dthe-purple-foot.pdf&blobkey=id&blobtable=Document&blobwhere=1301180902811&ssbinary=true&moddate=2012-06-28 01:28:11

When we arrived the place was hopping. But we were able to find an empty table and staff brought us…read morea needed chair. You order at the counter. The menu was mostly sandwiches but there was no gluten free bread available. I ordered a crab cake and broccoli salad. Both were delicious. I did not eat the bun. The crab cake was huge and very crispy on the outside. Fortunately small amounts of gluten do not bother me. Most items on the menu were battered and fried, not my typical type of food, but I splurged. Our food came out very quickly. Parking was a bit of a challenge, atmosphere was cozy and friendly. We probably will return.

Always a great experience here! They have a wide variety of popcorn and pork rinds, and they're all…read morehighly addictive. (Pro tip: you can mix the flavors to create a custom combo.) Located just outside of the Shenandoah National Park entrance, it's great for a post-hike snack, but I've taken the drive from Richmond just for the popcorn alone. I look for any excuse to cruise in the mountains, but FYI, they do ship so check out their website.

Lead story: I have had friends who would scoff at the least mention of Pork Rinds. I'd then ask,…read more"have you had fresh* pork rinds?" which generated replies from, "hell no," to "yes, the bag was in-date." It is unfortunate that so many people deny themselves fresh pork rinds based on such limited experience. "Aren't they just fried pig skin?" they offer condescendingly. I gather my Southern gumption mentioning that most love fried chicken, with its gobs of vaguely-seasoned flour and breadcrumbs, as a delicacy. So, after reconsideration, they agree to try these babies at KING'S GOURMET POPCORN, any good county fair, or summer festival. Pro tip: if you still have pork rinds 24+ hours old, they make great croutons! Caution: aftet ingesting good rinds, warn your friends and family that you may develop a passion for Tammy Wynette, and other classic "Country & Western" musicians, and a taste for mass-produced American beer! You have been warned! Their carefully chosen variety of popcorn is designed for flavor, not the cheaper variety mean to take up space. Still crunchy, KING'S combines flavorings to make each handful, lead to the next. Soon, you look down at your empty "small" bag and ask for more from the laidback staff who push hard for your positive experience. They are also very friendly with hikers who often eat under-seasoned mush for days! J.M. * my preference is "fresh " is 0-24 hours old, like a french baguette.

The meats were piled high, and the toppings were generous. This is the way grinders are supposed to be. The restaurant is very clean Also redeemed points for the grinder, so I only had to pay for the soda and tip. This was a great deal.
