										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Route 1 Country Store has served thousands of their fresh made-to-order sandwiches. A welcome addition to Dinwiddie County, the store also serves breakfast sandwiches, coffee and gourmet sodas. Sourcing much of their deli meats and market items from Lancaster Pennsylvania, one can stock up on all kinds of amazing products to include jams, pickles, candy, spices, grass fed/ pasture raised beef and pork. The bread used for their sandwiches is baked fresh daily in-house and is also available for purchase as well as cookies, pies and a variety of cakes and fruit breads. This is a true family run business and you are just as likely to be served by one of the delightful children or their friends from church, as owners Mark and Beverly Webb. Service is incredibly friendly and efficient and the store is immaculate. This is an outstanding establishment well worth a visit for both locals and visitors alike. Located just off I-85 it’s an ideal lunch stop for travelers who would prefer to avoid the typical fast food chains and instead enjoy a freshly made sandwich or homemade soup.</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>For seafood and comfort food lovers – this is the place for you! Located in the iconic, stunning and historic Farmers Market building in the heart of Old Town Petersburg and self-described as “The Soul of Seafood”, Croaker’s Spot serves a variety of seafood dishes, in very generous portions. Not a fish lover? No problem, there are also plenty of other options for you on the extensive menu.  Other highlights include the delicious homemade lemonade and limeade, along with the incredible cornbread. Save room for some Bread Pudding too!</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“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 &#8211; all our food is homemade, and we serve it with that good Southern hospitality.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Dixie is a longstanding favorite local diner in Old Towne Petersburg. In this current location since 1939, despite changes of ownership during that time, it continues to serve delicious made from scratch Southern comfort food. Charlie and Frannie Rawlings are the current owners and carried out a beautiful renovation which honors the diner’s rich history. The famous Dixie Dog is a red hot dog topped with chili, just one of the many items on their extensive menu. If you want to enjoy breakfast on a Saturday morning, you’ll likely have to wait. Folks flock here for Biscuits and Gravy, Omelets, Grits, Country Ham with Fried Apples and Eggs amongst other classic breakfast items. At lunchtime, you can enjoy everything from Liver and Onions to Chicken and Dumplings to Fried Catfish to Salads as well as great Burgers and Sandwiches. They offer a wide variety of sides such as collard greens and macaroni and cheese. Whatever you do, save room for dessert! The recipe for the Peanut Butter Pie was given to Frannie by Charlie’s mother and it is a little slice of heaven. Visitors will experience fine southern hospitality and great homestyle cooking here.</p>
