Restaurants have been coming and going in Sperryville so fast lately that you almost need a scorecard to keep track. A place called Tomfoolery opened on Main Street and then closed before most people even knew about it. The Blue Moon Cafjo on Highway 211 closed this year and was succeeded by a Tex-Mex place called the Coyote Caf]j. Sunnyside Farms just opened an open-air burger bar at its new “Famous Rest Stop” on the highway, and soon the Sperryville Comer Store will open a new grill restaurant at the flashing red light on Main Street.

The Appetite Repair Shop went through a succession of owner-operators in recent years in a downward spiral that ended in closure last spring. The building then was taken over by Diana Sekford, who operates another diner in Luray, and who shortly found she couldn’t manage both places effectively. By October, Diana’s was open only sporadically, when along came Sharon Wimer for breakfast.
