My sister took me here for lunch. I had never heard of it before then. We sat outside and had great service. I order a ham&cheese croissant and it was nearly the size of my plate! when we were leaving, the man at the register told us he had just turned 90 years old. He seemed to love what he... More

My wife and I visit here occasssionally. The Purp;e Foot has an interesting gift/wine shop in the fron of the establishment and a small dining room and patio dining available in the rear. The food is excellent and I believe they strive to provide food unlike what you can get anywhere else in Waynesboro. Artisan sandwiches and soup.

The back room (and garden in spring and summer) open only from 11 AM to 2 PM. Food is really good with cutsey names like "Pita, Paul and Mary" but always fresh, delicious and tasty. Good soups too.

This wine shop has an excellent café in the back, including a delightful garden area. We stopped for lunch on the way from Blacksburg to Shenandoah National Park. Sandwiches, salads, crepes are all prepared with fresh ingredients and lots of care. We also purchased wine from the specials in the wine shop. Clerk was very helpful in our selection.

The food has always been good at The Purple Foot. We like to go when the weather is good so that we can sit outside in the back of the restaurant. The landscaping with water features makes for a relaxing atmosphere for dining. Nice to have a non-franchise option for food and seeing the travel photos inside the building adds... More

interesting little place to dine for lunch. Different choices on the menu. preparation was quick. There is a shop inside the restaurant or maybe it is vice verse. either way there is a certain charm that is worth visiting.

This place is only open for lunch and is a great little place. They have an amazing Reuban Sandwich! They have something for everyone and the deserts are very good. I would also check out the wine selections and purchase some bottles to take home with you. Love the wines from South Africa.

This is a very popular place in town with fancy sandwiches and good wine. Small and inviting atmosphere with a friendly staff. This is a good place for lunch.

If it's a weekday and you are looking for a spot to have lunch in Waynesboro, this is one of your best bets. Sandwiches, salads, and baked potatoes (but not like any baked potato you have ever had!) it is simple, and similar to food you are used to or would have at home. Comforting, fast (as long as you...

Whether you eat indoors or in the garden, food is just wonderful. There's a gift shop in front with many wines. Give this restaurant a try - you won't regret it.
