The minute you walk through the doors of this trendy Mediterrasian fusion restaurant you are greeted to beautiful scenery, helpful staff, and smiling patrons. “My goal with Wabi Sabi is to be that oasis for people, where they leave the world outside,” says owner DJ Payne.</p>

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 &#8211; Wabi features bands ranging from hip alt-rock to old-time bluegrass.</p>
<p>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.”</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Very unique space in an old converted shipping container – great ribs – Southern Living ranked it among the best BBQ in the south (2012) – couple of tables outside – grab a sandwich – barbecued pork or chicken and a moon pie – “open rain or shine”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barbecue is pretty much a major food group in this part of the country. When Saucy’s originally opened in 2010 out of a shipping container, they introduced a refreshing new take on this culinary category. Just ask the pitmaster, Erich Wolfgang. He says that his BBQ style is influenced from all parts of the country thanks to his days traveling with a band that included Saucy’s owner Tom McCormack. While touring, he made notes about his favorite eats. Fast forward a few years and here is all that influence and hard work, in Saucy’s. Whether you want a pork sandwich and some fries, or ribs with all the sides, you are sure to love your meal in either location.Vegans are in luck too, as they serve delicious Tofu Tacos with a spicy mango sauce and their signature coleslaw.  There’s no mayo in the coleslaw here, it’s just flavored with pineapple, jalapeno pepper and cilantro which is a really interesting take on this staple BBQ side. Be sure to order other sides too such as the seasoned fries, beans or mac and cheese. There is also a bar at each location that serve a variety of craft beers and a small selection of wine. In warmer months, you can enjoy your meal on the patio. Saucy’s also offers catering.</p>
<p>Voted as one of the top twenty places in the South for a pork barbecue sandwich by <em>Southern Living </em>magazine, people are coming all over for a taste of Saucy’s Barbecue.</p>
<p>The restaurant serves pork, beef, chicken, and ribs, but it owes its name to its savory, perfectly-blended barbecue sauce. Most Saucy’s customers leave with a pint or two of this delicious concoction to take home with them, so they can experience the succulent taste of Saucy’s long after their visit has ended.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nestled in the heart of historic Old Towne Petersburg is a deli with a rich and vibrant history: Longstreet’s. Described by the owner, Frank Takacs as “high-quality casual”, Longstreet’s has something for everyone. Many patrons come for a quiet lunch and spend the afternoon shopping and sightseeing in the historic district.</p>
<p>But don’t think that Longstreet’s is just a spot for a quiet bite – come evening, Longstreet’s becomes an exciting hub of vibrant people out on the town, who gather at the famous bar and partake of the enormous variety of beers and spirits that Longstreet’s has to offer. Often, there is live music or karaoke to be heard. Regardless, the establishment always reverberates with the laughter and friendly conversation of its guests.</p>
<p>Longstreet’s food is local cuisine par excellence, combining deli-style dishes with traditional American fare. Many of their ingredients are locally produced, from sources as diverse as Adams Acres to the herb garden in Frank’s backyard. The menu has been refined over 13 years based on a steady stream of customer feedback, says Frank, and they’re still striving to provide even greater satisfaction to their patrons.</p>
