So homey and inviting. We only got delicious pie. Kind of cramp but service spot on .

Absolutely the best pies I have ever tasted. The owner is exceptional and takes time to talk, share the history of the cafe and although it is out of the way for us, it is worth taking the trip. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and pies. It's a small cafe, however, we loved it and are going back

Pies are excellent. I am a baker and these are as good as I can do. We also had some sandwiches which are good but rather basic. We were there on a Saturday and it was not too busy. More people need to make the drive out there.

We stop by here every year on the way to the track and grab a bunch of pies. Always fresh and so good! Buttermilk, pecan, and key lime this time around and all 3 were excellent.

I found out a few weeks ago that although I'd love to, it was not necessary for me to come all the way from California to Monroe, VA to get some good, home made pie. You can now order and have a pie shipped! So, today all the way from Woodruff's in Monroe, VA my piece of heaven arrived. I must mention the packaging and wrapping was insanely secure. Like it was a bar of gold inside. And as good as it taste, it's worth a bar of gold. Don't put it off! Don't wait any longer! Order your bar of gold today! And on a personal note, Woodruff's Cafe and Pie Shop has a nostalgic spot in my heart. My mother Dorothy Oliver and her siblings all grew up nearby the Woodruff's. Several years ago when I took my mom back to visit family, we drove out to see the old farm and made a stop at Woodruff's. My mom enjoyed her chat with the family that was in the shop that day. Little did I know that that would be the last time my mom was back where she grew up in Virginia. Sure am glad we made that trip.

Yummy is understatement. All kinds of homemade pies sold by the slice or whole pie. They will make your flavor with 24 hours notice if you want a guaranteed favorite. They also have sandwiches.

Amazing little place with an amazing story. You won't be sorry, stop in for a slice of pie. We are picky about our pies, as my wife bakes, but we would have a slice here again. She got blueberry and I got peach. My wife snagged the recipe for the blueberry off the wall where it was posted before we left. It will be making a guest appearance at our next family gathering.

All of the other 5 star reviews say it all. This place is famous for a reason. We came here on the recommendation from the campground where we were staying. Got the sampler with 6 different pie slices, and every single one was amazing. Service was absolutely outstanding, and this might be the cutest shop in the universe. Just go and get you some pie (and maybe sandwiches).

Let me start this off by saying that I FELL IN LOVE with this pie shop, as soon as we walked inside. Service- Impeccable! If you know what it feels like to be around your elder family members and they speak to you with such a welcoming, open arms voice. This is what I got when I opened the wooden door. We were immediately greeted by the family who owns this historic cafe! There was a display of homemade pies for you to chose from and two chalk boards that held what's on the menu. We were waited on right away and they had such great patience as we explained where we were from and we didn't quite know what we wanted. Ambiance- After traveling thru the winding mountainous hills of Monroe, Va., Amherst County, we pulled up to the cutest little corner cafe with two wrought iron tables outside under an awning for shade. We opened the door and heard a bell ring from the knob and instantly I had a nostalgic feeling that would leave me in awe. There was so much history in this Pie Shop that started out as a cafe and a gathering place. It was originally owned by James & Mary Fannie Woodruff. The daughter who now operates it as the pie shop along with other family members make this shop THE MOST Special place we've visited while staying in the area for spring break! Food- OOOOOO MMMMM GGGGGG! We came for pie but ended up ordering sandwiches along with the pie. We just didn't get any pie but they had an amazing idea that I've never seen to offer a sample pie, which consisted of 6 slices of any pie you would like to try. They rebuild the slices into one whole pie and let me tell you! When you taste that pie, you are in for a treat!! These aren't just regular pie slices, you can tell the love for crafting such greatness! It was so fresh and oh so good. Our sampler consisted of strawberry, blueberry, Dutch apple, lemon meringue, pecan and pumpkin pie slices! Summary- it was a beautiful scenic route to this family gem that I am so happy to have experienced. I highly recommend this pie shop where you not only get fed pie and great food but you get a little bit of history along with it too. Bonus: this pie shop was featured by Al Roker of NBC for recognizing Mrs. Mary Fannie Woodruff celebrating her 103rd birthday back in 2019. There are also features in the Roanoke Times paper. Just look them up and pay a visit or two. They'd be happy to see you and excited about your business.

This is a late review. I went back on Nov 18, 2022. I had the chicken salad sandwich which came with Lays potato chips. It was ok. The star of the show is of course the pies. I got three different slices. This special pumpkin which I can't remember the name, 3 berry, and chess pie. All three were superb. I really liked the berry pie, and the crunchy pumpkin pie was also good. The Chess pie was also good. Pretty much every pie I got to try was good. I'm glad I was able to visit such a famous pie establishment because I'm not sure when or if I'll ever be able to go back. Service was good if a bit slow but I'm not gonna harp on that. There's only two people doing the ordering and they are super nice. The food actually came out pretty quickly, the sandwich I mean. Atmosphere is homey and gives an old timey feel which isn't surprising since the building IS rather old. I'd love to come back but if I can't, I'm happy I was able to this one time.
