Not a great sandwich lover. I tend to buy their local eggs and bread. But: Had their brisket tips with sides - on special. Wow. Unexpected yum. They just might do it again. Please put your specials on your web page. Enquiring hearts want to know. Thanks read more

When they first opened I ordered (take-out) a burger cooked rare. When wife brought it home I found that they had burnt it to a cinder. It was so inedible that I threw it in the trash and ate just the bread. I later complained but they ignored my complaint. I live a mile away but why would I ever go back there again? read more

Seriously amazing sandwiches. Be forewarned: you will have to wait, but it is so worth it! Plus, the place is charming

Had guests this weekend and a near empty fridge. So glad that I could send them to Polly's Folly for lunch sandwiches which they raved about. Much better than anything I could have served even if I did have a full fridge. Grateful for this little gem! read more

Small town feel. Great for lingering visits over lunch. Mike is a local and is owner and chef and a great historian! read more

We had a wonderful lunch here- three in our party enjoyed delicious burgers, and my dad got the pastrami sandwich and said it was the best pastrami he's ever had! (He said it multiple times with gusto, and having grown up in Brooklyn, good pastrami means a lot to him!) While there, we also saw a local farmer and his daughter stop by, dropping off eggs they sell the shop- very cool small town and local business! The shop also had local honey, arts, soaps-- lots of goodies! Minimal seating inside: three tables total, but we went at lunchtime on a Thursday and had no trouble getting a table. We also had our dog with us, and were delighted that they let us sit inside with her, and even brought her a water bowl and complimentary plate of turkey! read more

Hard to find gourmet sandwiches and soups to stop along 29. Great service and friendly staff!

Super cute local sandwich/ deli shop! I was pleasantly surprised with the large selection of items they had ranging from sandwiches to burgers and quiche! They also sold an assortment of baked goods from Marie Bette. They had about some indoor setting and some tables outside for the warmer months. Great location for grab and go and hit some of the wineries nearby. We got the Myles sandwich which had a very nice apple jam/ slaw that was delicious with the ham and bacon! We also got a kids grilled cheese which the kids loved (it was also on really good sourdough bread), and my husband got the special steak and cheese (which was pretty mid comparatively). That being said, this place has a little something for everyone! Definitely will be coming back to try more of their sandwiches! read more

Polly's Folly - Myles sandwich! Delicious. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Garden, Virginia

This place is a gem. Really nice lady behind the counter. Best sandwich I've had in years. And reasonably priced. Really cute general store with a public guitar so I got to pick a little while waiting for my order. I wish they had a place like this in my town! read more

It's a bit of a scary looking place when you pull up, but the food is fantastic. Locally sourced meat, etc. we go to it every time

My husband and I stopped for lunch before heading into Shenandoah National Park for a day of site seeing and light hiking. What a great experience! Food was delicious, good portions, and very reasonably priced. My husband had the daily special, a bison burger with chips. I had their equivalent of a Reuben sandwich, also with chips. The service was wonderful, a very pleasant young woman who asked questions and offered advice on things to see in the park. The store itself is very small-only two small tables inside with a few Adirondack chairs on the outside deck. The store also sells local artists' wares (jewelry, wood, glass blown art, etc.) as well as locally sourced food items. Browsing was a great way to fill time while we waited for our food. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say anything about the food because based on the reviews, I'm sure it's great, I'm just very disappointed that this place came up as a restaurant. This is a tiny little country store, and there was basically no parking. I stuck my head in, and there were no table available and what there was, tiny. I drove all the way from Lynchburg on my birthday and this is very disappointing. Sort of false advertising. read more

Love Love Love going to Polly's Folly. It is the ONLY place where I will eat ground beef...and the cheeseburgers are amazing! Very friendly and source locally. read more

This charming country market/deli counter is just a few minutes drive down 29 (no Cville-ians, you are not going to find yourself in that scene from Deliverance just because you cross they magical barriers of 29 & 64. If you get to close to Lynchburg all bets are off though) is well worth the drive if you are craving a unique sandwich, breakfast burrito or tasty quiche. I love their breakfast burrito. I had the smoked applewood bacon, egg, cheese and home made hashbrown version as my go too. It is just huge, but made with delicious quality ingredients and just the right ratio. Its one of the top 3 breakfast burrito/tacos in the Cville area that I have found. Their pastries are supplied by Marie Bette Bakery here in town and they are excellent as well. The cookies are the size of your head (it takes me a couple days to finish one) and financiers, muffins and croissants are top notch as well. They also have fresh made quiche, yummy soups (even the vegan chili is good) and a wide range of creative sandwich and brunch foods. It is a hidden gem will worth discovering! read more

Polly's Folly is a delightful local find for the two of us. The owner, Mike, makes the creative sandwiches which are absolutely delicious. My favorite is the Sassy Sue. In fact, it was the first one I ordered and I haven't tried any other since, it is such a savory, flavory treat. The ambience is rustic, harkening back to rural Virginia's past. Very charming. Mike, the owner is always busy in the kitchen, but comes out to greet his patrons when he can. His wait staff is friendly and accommodating. From the highway, Route 29 south of Charlottesville, you will find the building tucked in on the right close to Red Hill. It is reminescent of an aged service station, from the days when the gasoline was pumped by an attendant, oil and radiator checked and the windshield cleaned. You will notice a flag in the breeze saying, "OPEN". Try it--you will love it. Oh, yes, the quiche is delicious and a "must take home for dinner". Bakery products are flavorful and fresh. Have an ice cream sandwich for dessert--or a muffin. Want to try some duck eggs? Look in the refrigerated case; they are in the colorful cartons. Surprises at every turn. read more

What a fabulous find! I love this combo cafe/shop/grocery easily found right on 29S (Monacan Trail). Super cute place, comfy casual seating, and incredible food! The burgers are made from farm fresh, grass fed meat and are definitely the best burgers I've ever had! The Bomber Burger is truly special! Perfectly cooked with cheese, pickle, top flight bacon, tomato, and jalapeño (which I skipped). It comes with truly tasty, crisp kettle chips and a pickle slice. Service is spot on! Dessert is your choice but I highly recommend anything from the famous MarieBette Bakery that this store stocks! Paradise was found in a slice of MarieBette flourless chocolate cake. They also have a variety of sandwiches (hot and cold) and salads. The shop portion of the business contains a wonderful array of vintage, artistic, and modern jewelry, wood decor, paintings, and cosmetics. Groceries include local, farm fresh offerings such as eggs and butter. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I love this place and have put it on my regular rotation of go-to places to eat! read more

This place is great! While I have only been once, the sandwich I had was very good! Inside was filled with pottery, paintings, knitted wearables, jewelry and so on. The local breads and pastries from L & B Farms and Marie Bette were a pleasant surprise. Three people were eating there, as they have a few tables to accommodate eating inside. I will definitely be going back. Oh, the person who took my order and checked me out even opened the door for me on my way out as my hands were full - so nice!! read more

The extended family was looking for a place to celebrate a birthday, an early groundhog day, and just being together. We wanted to be near, but not in, C'ville. Mike the owner was honest about the limitations of size and requested we come just outside the prime lunch hour. We arrived on time (for a change) and our grouped tables were ready. By staggering our orders, we all got fresh, hot, delicious food. Yes, this is a small place, but the food, hospitality, and ambiance are superior. Be aware that when busy, the parking is somewhat of a challenge--just be gentle pulling in to the lot. And remember to turn right, only, when leaving. read more

Excellent food with a hip general store vibe. Down home friendly service. Really like the place. Breakfast all day and sandwiches outstanding read more

Surprised by quality and tasty food. Stopped for lunch - had soup and grilled cheese. Definitely homemade soup - delicious. Sandwich on home made bread. Perfect. Great place. read more

Cute country store with tons of local products, great food, and a welcoming and wonderful owner. The turn off the highway goes by quickly--keep your eyes peeled so you don't miss this gem! This is a great stop-off for lunch, dinner, or a snack if you are hiking in the Blue Ridge mountains or trying out the local wineries and distilleries. We grabbed sandwiches to enjoy at Ragged Branch Distillery one day and at Loving Cup another day and had two memorable afternoons. There are also tables in the store to dine in. Polly was such a delight and her place is clearly a local favorite--she greeted almost every customer by name. It is amazing that she has been able to build community like this during COVID! She took the time to get to know us, recommend some local destinations, and welcome us to the area. We tried The Sandwich Formerly Known as Miles, the BLT, and Polly's Folly--all delicious, served with a pickle and super crunchy chips. I don't think you can go wrong with ordering here. Be sure to ask what's on tap--the Blue Ridge Bucha was delish! Whatever you are looking for, you will be happy you stopped here! read more

Walked in to a warm welcome and quick, delicious lunch. My friend and I stopped to check it out and left happy with our experience. Not only is it a restaurant, but there's options to buy specialty groceries in a cute setting. read more

Cute, quiet, food was good. Lots of items were 86ed when I went but they were accommodating. Nice little spot on that side of the county.

Such a sweet and beautiful place. The owner is nice and super low key. I go here for the hamburgers and random soups of the day. The meat is from a local guy and is grass fed. I actually got to meet him once when he was in discussing a meat order. He has alcohol choices and pop (or soda). The bathroom is always clean. It has a tiny little store section. read more

Needed to pick something up on the way home after my dog had a vet procedure very hot today could not get out of the car. Owner was there and very kind to allow me to order my food over the phone and then walked it out to the car for me and, I did not have to leave the car and turn the car off very very kind and friendly food. Very tasty and freshly made ambience very clean crisp inside with items that customers can buy. I highly recommend. read more

Great food and great prices. Very nice staff. Good selection of breakfast choices. We also purchased several items from their gift area. Very interesting selections. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Best quiche in the county!! Definitely stop by and get some! For the price you get a hefty slice with quality ingredients. Just the right amount of flaky pastry crust loaded with veggies and cheese. Mike makes these with love and talent. I've tried all the quiche in the local area and his are the best! Always my go to when I'm on my way home and don't feel like cooking. The folks behind the counter always offer their best service. Quaint country store feel with local artisan goods and food options. read more

Admittedly I'm biased, having known for years the Polly who made this Folly. But what a great little store and meal spot, focusing on locally sourced goods (bought some really good Va.-made habanero honey and a six of a Va. craft beer I'd not heard of) and kitchen for sandwiches, soups, etc. This isn't the type of place you'd get two liters of Diet Coke and Combos, but a specialized country store. Regional wines and beers, verrrry chocolatey brownies, and the like, plus a variety of gifts and whatnot like locally made jewelry and woodworkings. Definitely worth a swing-by if in the Charlottesville area. read more

Fantastic breakfast sandwiches!!! Great service and super friendly. Highly recommend!

This place was such a treat during our cabin stay in Schuyler! Mike and Kat were the most generous hosts - preparing a delicious breakfast for us (griddle-style pancakes, hash browns with rosemary, and a fully loaded breakfast burrito), helping me find the best rough rock for our grown son (a geologist), and packaging a quiche breakfast for us to eat in the morning before hitting the road. Polly's Folly carries art by many local artisans, and folks with a keen eye for treasures, including Mike himself who sold me an old, beautiful blue glass bottle he found. At checkout, Mike very generously handed me a small set of "devil's dice," a gift for our son, who deeply appreciates locally-found rocks and gems. After taking off, I decided to pull over and draft this post before losing service. This is a must-visit on any of your travels! read more

Great food and creative menu. Very friendly staff and wares from local artisans. Highly recommend

Beautifully restored old general store with great food and run by great people. Ham and leek quiche was prolly the best quiche i've ever had. Flavor & Texture was perfect and crust was really really good. Sandwiches were fantastic! Both sandwiches were stacked high with meat, and had tons of flavor and served on perfectly crispy bread. Odds&Dodds (pastrami swiss) was killer. Kinda like a reuben but with a fresh tangy slaw. Sassy Sue was AWESOME. Never woulda thought apricot jam would work so well. Delicious! read more

Great food! Picked up some arty stuff. It was perfect lunch break! Must go place. Do not miss read more

Cute little country store on the road to Crabtree Falls from C'Ville. We stopped by and hubby ran in to get me a decaf. He said it was very clean. Not a restaurant per se--but a general store with seating as they serve breakfast items. We didn't try the food this time. When I needed more milk in my coffee, they obliged without hesitation. If we are ever in the area, we will stop in again. This is the sort of gem that I live for as a Yelper! read more

This adorable update on the road side country store was the perfect place to stop on our trip to Charlottesville. We had a tasty biscuit egg and cheese sandwich, admired art from talented artists and bought some beautiful notecards as souvenirs for the family. Additionally they have a nice selection of local beer and wine and most delightfully (and improbably) wooden wizard wands! Definitely worth a stop. read more
