I can't believe this place has been here 14 years and I haven't tried it. I've been missing out. The vibes are very comforting and the staff are attentive. The menu has many options and it was a tough choice. I went with the Philly cheese steak and fries and it was amazing. The fries were cooked to perfection and bread for the cheesesteak made the sandwich even better. I will be back. read more

The Green Leaf Grill - Philly Cheese Steak - American Near Me - Waynesboro, Virginia

Really great food! My steak was a little underseasoned but it was cooked perfectly. Delicious shrimp, mashed potatoes and green beans with it. Their French onion soup was hearty. Not the watered down versions you get most places. Loved the flourless chocolate cake to finish things off. Service was excellent! Easy street parking. I'm thankful we got there early because the wait was long after 6pm on a Friday night. read more

The Green Leaf Grill is a friendly place with good food. I had the Fried Oyster Platter while their regular entertainer flawlessly played American standard tunes. The oysters had a fresh and clean taste with the hint of the ocean. They were covered in a lightly fried uniquely, light batter. I also received a tasty and healthy side salad and green beans. The restaurant has a casual feel with some sophisticated touches. You can feel comfortable here but enjoy a special date night. read more

Food was great; wait staff professional and very friendly, prompt and accommodating. Their friendliness and quality of the food exceeded expectations. However, during busy times, expect at least a 30-minute wait...it is a local favorite as evidenced by customers who waited without complaint. read more

Just happen to find this restaurant while visiting my Mom. It's a very lively spot with live music near the bar. Not obtrusive but nice guitar. My server was fun and in the spot. The place was hopping and she was extremely busy but still able to keep up with her tables. I wish I remembered her name! Lots of different choices which looked great but I got the Cobb salad which was delicious. I look forward to going back. read more

While the Rice was great it was fucking $25-$30 for a rice dish which is RIDICULOUS. There are much better Thai rice places that are way bette.r This place seems more like a gimmick with little robots running around delivering your food. The robots seemed to make the restaurant less efficient rather than more efficient, especially considering the restaurant is quite small. Human service was good though and they did refill my water. read more

Great service, food and ambiance. A wonderful experience. Busy when we arrived, busy when we left. Crowd was handled with ease. read more

My wife and I went there for dinner November 19 and it was outstanding. Before dinner, she had an old fashioned and I had a Sazerac. Both were made very well. For dinner, she had the smoked pork ribeye and I had the pan seared duck breast. Both of us were surprised at just how great our food was. For dessert, we shared peanut butter pie and bread pudding; perfectly prepared. And our server, Dominique, was knowledgeable and friendly. This restaurant is a gem. Highly recommended. read more

Service very very good. Most food in our party of four was great, but shrimp & grits was mostly tomato sauce with hot seasoning. (we like traditional prep better!). But our big objection was NOISE level. It was everywhere, from bar to front alcove. Please fix this problem in this lovely restaurant, of which Waynesboro is rightly proud! read more

The food was exceptional. I had strawberry steak salad and my wife had the grilled chicken Asian salad. We also both had a desert. I had the key lime pie and my wife had the peanut butter pie. The food very much exceeded our expectations. And there was live music which created a great atmosphere read more

I recently took a girls' trip to this part of Virginia, aiming to explore wineries, unwind in a hot tub, and soak in the natural scenery. After a full day of wine tasting, I made a reservation for me and my friends at this restaurant. At the end of the meal, one of my friends exclaimed, "Who do they have in that kitchen?" The food was an absolute 10/10; it was delicious! Despite the restaurant's unassuming appearance and the clientele looked like the type of folks that don't have too many seasonings in their cabinet. but when I tell you that food, was good, it was GREAT. It had that perfect home-cooked taste, elevating our dining experience. This was about a month ago at this point, but some of the dishes we had that were absolutely delicious included the lamb entree, the salmon entree, and the crab cakes. I deducted one star because the drinks were just ok. read more

Excellent all the way around! Fast service, excellent dinner, and reasonable. A definite winner.. Mark read more

This might be the best restaurant I've ever been to! My husband and I took a quick weekend trip on the motorcycle to drive Skyline Drive. Without knowing much about the area we chose Waynesboro to stay right under the Skyline. Found Green Leaf on Yelp when we arrived to town. As we walked in the door the folks leaving said "Best restaurant in town! Come on in!" That's always a good sign! Everyone who worked there was so nice and the food was DIVINE! It's a nice restaurant but we still felt comfortable in our riding clothes. The live music was EXCELLENT and the food even better. We loved it so much that on our second night we decided to go back. Between both nights we tried the shrimp and grits, grouper special (which they fixed as a gluten free option even though it wasn't listed GF), shrimp po boy, French onion soup, and smoked pork ribeye. Now I'm over here trying to figure out other places we can go that will take us near Waynesboro again in the future (4 hours away) because the husband claims it's too far to go just to come back to eat. read more

The best food in the valley. Fantastic!! The bartender, Justin cute as pie. OMG!! I suggest the smoked pork ribeye, it's to die for and so is Justin! read more

While visiting the area, my wife and I had dinner at the Green Leaf restaurant in Waynesboro. We had the drunken shrimp for an appetizer, and then my wife had a beet salad and I had an oriental chicken salad for dinner. The food was outstanding! The service was timely and the staff very friendly. I highly recommend. read more

We are staying in town and found this place on yelp. Can't say I am very impresse, the food is decent but not great. Saturday at 7 pm they are already out of the crab dip - popular iR ill-prepared? 1. The drunken shrimp is decent - light battered and flavorful. 2. Shrimp and grits was pretty good. A bit too spicy to my taste though. 3. Bacon wrapped scallops - $20 for 3 scallops, too pricy and it's nothing to rave about. It's ok but won't come back. read more

Good food and service! Sometimes there's a wait but usually not very long! I also enjoy the house musician, very subtle, you can talk without trying too be louder than the music! read more

Corner piece of glass in my rice. Crab cake was good, but $25 for glass rice is a first for me.

Selected for convenience next to the Wayne Theater...but unexpectedly fine, 5 stars....oyster platter and also Faroe Islands salmon, a shocker on any menu---and so well-prepared. Good service, knowledgeable waitress.....house-made dressings, excellent house salad, house-cooked potato chips mostly housemade desserts (try the key lime pie). We WILL go back. read more

A favorite in Waynesboro. Staff is great, and the food is delicious. I'm a fan of the shrimp tacos. My partners loves the vegetarian options. Also, the potato chips are so light and yummy! Definitely recommend. read more

Nice vibe. Crowded, but not too loud. The live music is a nice touch. We had a 20 minute wait for our table and decided to start at the bar. The bartender was friendly and our drinks (mules) were tasty. Everything on the menu looked great, but I went with bacon wrapped scallops. Yum! The portions were good and the variety of selections is surprising considering the size of the restaurant. The hush puppies were a great appetizer, and our entrees came just as we were finishing our appetizer and salad. We got great service from friendly staff. Definitely a must try in downtown Waynesboro. read more

Always good. Very consistent quality and a wide variety of menu options. We recommend this one highly to people who rent our Vrbo.

If you were to ask a local in town what is the best restaurant this place is often one of first to be recommended. There is good reason for that. From service to food to atmosphere this restaurant does well. The price is a little high compared to what else is around but the potions are large and the menu is wide enough to give budget friendly options for those willing to forgo the duck. After a few visits I have found there soups to be my go to items. read more

My wife and I visited for our anniversary on June 29th. Really good food and service was excellent; nice environment and worth the price.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. The food was absolutely amazing here. In town for a family trip and stumbled upon this place by accident if I'm being honest. We tried a bunch of other local places because my wife had food allergies (Gluten) and were let down and this was just something we walked by, completely defeated. When we walked in, we were greeted by the bar staff as we asked "do you guys have any gluten-free items?" To which they replied "yes, we have quite a bit actually" and off we went. Seated near the Main Street windows, the place just felt comfortable. You can tell it's a locals hangout, and we all liked that. My daughter and I tried the lasagna. Putting it mildly, it's the best I've ever had in my life and one that we use to judge all others against. Folks, I can eat.. and I'm telling you this floored me and was a huge portion. Seriously, I live three hours away and want to drive there now for dinner, and it's been months since we have been there last. What's better, was my wife had a grilled panini that was gluten-free and she has said repeatedly it's still one of the best meals she's had out in 15 years since being diagnosed. I have nothing but good things to say about the food and the staff. Try it out!!! read more

Great place to come, especially for dinner! The staff is very friendly and attentive. Justin, the bartender, is awesome, takes the time to get to know people and what they like to drink. Food is awesome as well, can't go wrong. They have live music sometimes too, Joe is great when he's playing. read more

Incredible service from Jenna. Large menu, but not overwhelming, with lots of options for my vegetarian/pescatarian needs. Food was delicious, every course. Family friendly. Green leaf will be a regular rotation for us! read more

Went there tonight for the second time as we enjoyed the first experience. The place is small and cramped with little room between tables. Servers frequently go by with trays in the air to get thru. We were just about done with our dinner when a waitress dumped a salad plate with a large amount of dressing directly on me. I had dressing all down the left side of my flannel shirt, on my regular shirt, and on my jeans. Quite the mess. The manager on duty "Justin" comes by with our bill after I've cleaned myself of all the salad dressing. "Accidents happen" he says. I discounted your bill. What he did was comp the appetizer. Offers to "dry clean my jeans". Who dry cleans jeans anyway? Sure, I'm gonna drive a hour round trip, and wait for jeans to be dry cleaned instead of staying home and just putting them in the washer. He was totally unprofessional, and had an attitude. Instances like that, any manager should comp the meal. Our check wasn't high at all. Before leaving we asked who his boss was. He claimed to be the owner. A simple search online after we left revealed, that is NOT the owner, but rather the bar tender. So Justin was rude, unprofessional, and a liar. read more

Great restaurant on Main Street in Waynesboro. Nice little bar to go with it. Plenty of variety on the menu, and an excellent chef plus friendly service. read more

Good food. Don't let the decor fool you! Many praises to the chef as the food and drinks were excellent!

It's easy to see why this place gets a 4.5 stars - stupendous service, great drink menu, and wonderful food. Ask researching veggie friendly places to eat in Waynesboro (there aren't really any) and reading all the wonderful reviews, I decided to try out Green Leaf Grill and see for myself. Thanks to other Yelp reviews, I went with the Coconut Curry with Tofu. OMG - it's delicious! Reminds me of when I went to Singapore and got this amazing Malaysian curry. The curry was honestly that good at Green Leaf. I know...weird, considering how can an American restaurant make such good Asian food?! The curry is rich and packed with flavor. It's not greasy. I love the tofu bites, perfectly crispy, I devoured them. The portion size is quite generous, I ate about 1/2 and was stuffed! Very tempted to bring home the leftovers. My fiancee enjoyed the salmon and enjoyed his meal, it was perfectly cooked. I'm impressed that Green Leaf carries 4 different flavors of Bold Rock cider. My fiancee got the Bold Rock apple and blood orange cider (which is their newest). I got a glass of Pino Noir. We both enjoyed our drinks and the ciders were only $4 each. The best part of the meal was Destiny, our server. She was so friendly and served our food with a sweet warm smile. I'm glad that I went with her recommendations (the raspberry vinaigrette goes well with the house salad). Overall, a great meal that didn't break the bank. Will def be back and want to try out more menu items, although not sure if I can pass up that curry. read more

Yep, glad we ate here. Delicious food, good service, and even the live music was respectfully low volume. Over all good experience.

This place is full of positive energy and wonderful food! The service is always fantastic and the atmosphere is inviting.

We were passing through and found this little gem. I had the Sesame Crusted Tuna and it was delicious. My husband had the Fried Seafood Sampler and enjoyed it very much. Our waiter was very attentive without being intrusive. It's a great atmosphere- there was live music when we were there, which we enjoyed. I definitely recommend visiting here. read more

Literally delicious in every way. Crab dip was amazing, as was the po boy and bananas foster. Such a cute little place. Easy to see why it's a local favorite as the staff was terrific as well. Now that I live in the area, this is a new go-to. read more

Always a great meal, good service and tasty cocktails to be had at every visit. We always look forward to trip to the GreenLeaf!

Busy but the food was very good. My oyster poor boy was quite good. The alligator bite were just there, great batter but that was it. We would go back. read more
