Offering a mix of charming restaurants and shops, Old Towne Petersburg has something for everyone to enjoy in a beautiful historic setting. 

This district remains the heart and soul of the city, as evidenced by these wonderful spots our real estate agents love to visit.

• River Street Market - 30 River St., Petersburg, VA 23803
  Enjoy the fruits of the community, both literally and figuratively, at the River Street Market.

• Croaker's Spot - 9 E. Old St., Petersburg, VA 23803
  For more than 20 years, Croaker's Spot has been "The Soul of Seafood" near Petersburg homes for sale. Their status was further cemented a year ago when they moved into the iconic Farmers Market building, which dates back to 1879. Croaker's Spot is a loving homage to a Harlem restaurant of the same name that was founded by a jazz musician from Richmond. Satisfied diners keep coming back for the catfish, crab cakes, oysters, and specialties such as hot buttered soul wedges, their delicious cornbread drizzled with "soul sauce." Hours are 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Friday, noon - 10 p.m. Saturday, and noon - 9 p.m. Sunday.
