With two full menus – a sushi selection and a more traditional menu – even regular visitors find something new to eat with every meal. The vibrant nightlife is unparalleled and the bartending staff at DJ’s Martini Lounge pride themselves on their delicious specialty martinis. The live entertainment is always a wonderful surprise – Wabi features bands ranging from hip alt-rock to old-time bluegrass.

Payne, a life-long restaurateur, takes great satisfaction in providing his guests with an elegant, stylish dining and socializing experience. “I’m very passionate about what I do. I like connecting with people,” Payne adds. “There’s something for everyone at Wabi.”

“A lot of people think the place is named after the fish called croaker, but it’s not,” says Neverett Eggleston III, owner of Croaker’s Spot restaurant. “Croaker was a man from Jackson Ward who moved up to Harlem and opened a restaurant he called Croaker’s Spot. His story inspired me, and that’s one of the reasons we call our place Croaker’s Spot.”

Eggleston, who comes from a family of restaurateurs, is unequivocal when asked what the best dish in his restaurant is: “The Eggleston’s Fried Fish Boat, served smothered in green peppers and onions with steamed red potatoes and hot cornbread dipped in our hot-buttered soul sauce washed down with lemonade!” But the renowned seafood dishes aren’t all Croaker’s Spot has to offer: they serve a selection of scrumptious sandwiches and breakfast dishes all day.

“As a restaurateur, it’s hard to beat Old Towne; the cobblestone streets, the restaurant community, the antique shops…you just gotta fall in love with what you see down here!” Eggleston says. “And I think we fit in well because we built up from scratch – all our food is homemade, and we serve it with that good Southern hospitality.”

Of course, like any good pub, Brickhouse has a wide selection of English beers and ales. “It is not meant to feel like a pub which has been plucked from a town in the British countryside and dropped in Petersburg. Rather, we like to think that if Petersburg, Virginia were part of Britain this is what its pub would be like,” Drew remarks proudly.  This jolly pub setting can also be reserved for private parties and events.

Drew, who began working in the restaurant business at age fifteen, says that he and Johanna always wanted to open their own restaurant, which they have now expanded to include a catering service. They also feel very connected to the community, and in that spirit Brickhouse hosts all kinds of fun event nights, from “Quiz Nights” the first Monday of every month to “Thirsty Thursdays”. “It’s really the patrons and the atmosphere that they bring to Petersburg’s local pub,” Drew says. “That’s what makes it such a special place.”

“There is a large difference between Mexican and Bolivian or Peruvian and Spanish cooking. Andrade’s offers a blend of Latin American and Spanish cuisines that you more than likely will not find anywhere else in Central Virginia,” says its owner Rigo Parada.

Of course, no matter what you order, the best place to eat is the scenic open-air patio that offers a full panoramic view of the historical buildings of Old Towne Petersburg. Also located on their patio is Andrade’s full tiki-style bar. If you’re looking for an exciting experience with ethnic cuisine in a beautiful scenic area, Andrade’s is the place for you!

When asked about the family’s propensity for becoming restaurateurs, Sal smiles and says, “It’s kind of fate, you know? We all grew up in the restaurants. I started working at Brothers when I was 13, and I was managing a restaurant when I was 19 or 20. I just always wanted to be like my dad.” At Brothers, they serve many other Italian dishes in addition to their pizza. All their dishes are prepared with homemade bread from the Buffa family bakery and customers end their meals with sumptuous Italian desserts like cannoli and tiramisu.

In keeping with the family tradition, Brothers Pizza epitomizes friendly service, family values, and the utmost dedication to their labor of love: serving customers. Just one visit to Brothers Pizza will have you feeling like a member of the Buffa family.

The décor is very nautical all through the dining room and the owners have amassed an impressive of seafaring antiques. You’ll feel like you’re right on the water, even in the heart of Colonial Heights.

Much of their delectable cuisine is crafted from local food, too! They get their produce from farms in nearby Dinwiddie County and their oysters from Hayes, Virginia. These fresh ingredients, prepared by a family with cooking in their blood and a love for what they do, become mouthwatering delights for you and your family when you visit Captain Tom’s.
