Petersburg in 1 day

If you only have 1 day to spend in Petersburg, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Petersburg attracts history enthusiasts with its pivotal Civil War sites, including Petersburg National Battlefield and the long-running Siege of Petersburg earthworks. The city’s compact Old Towne district showcases 18th- and 19th-century architecture, antique shops, galleries, and locally owned restaurants. Nearby attractions like Pamplin Historical Park and Blandford Church with its Tiffany stained-glass windows add depth to a visit. Petersburg has also served as a filming location for several historical movies and series, which has supported a modest arts and culture scene.
With favorites like Sauce & Toss, Ettrick Park, and Oak Antique Mall, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Tramonto Ristorante and Taste of China so you can get the best taste of Petersburg while you’re here.

To the kind attendant in the Auto Department this morning — thank you so much for helping me with my truck battery and jumper cables. You even had a gentleman from the shop pick it up and put it in my car for me. When I asked about lanterns for camping, you personally escorted me to that section and opened the case so I could see them. You made my Walmart trip easy and stress-free — I truly appreciate your excellent customer service!

7 o’clock in the morning I’m standing at the deli reading the packages of the lunchmeat trying to decide if I was going to purchase anything. A woman says excuse me, sir you can’t open that we don’t open till 8 o’clock. I said I’m just standing here reading the labels, you can’t do that till 8 o’clock, and then I asked her so I can’t stand here and read the labels She said no, we open at eight. I left my basket and went to Food Lion.

On October 23 at 5:44 PM, I spoke to the clerk in Petersburg Walmart auto center. This is what transpired: I purchased tires online at walmart dot com. I received a text early that weekt hat my tires were ready for pickup. I went to the store to pick the tires up and ask the person in-charge if he could put the tires on. He then told me that he was short of technicians. But yet, I saw two workers sitting around. I then ask if he could call the local store closer in colonial.Heights to see if they could put my tires on. His response was NO! HE STATED that Petersburg store didn't communicate with colonial.Heights store because of bad communication. I never did receive the service that I inquired about about. The auto center doesn't close until 7 PM. There was more than an hour and a half left on the clock before the store closes. and the workers sat around and did nothing. I'm sure the owner rather have the money for the tires service then to pay workers for sitting around doing no service. I don't blame the workers; I blame the management! This is not the first time that I experienced something like this at the auto center but this will be the first time that I will be reporting it!

Turn away and just do pick up or delivery or shipping!!!!! This place is a disaster to check out of. Everyone has to file into 2 extremely long lines just to get to the checkout lanes and self checkout. They usually only have 2 or 3 lanes open and the employees move slow. And they'll only have 4 self checkouts open at a time. Ill never go in there again.

This location was extremely messy. There were a lot of associates there yet the store was cluttered with partially filled buggies. There were misplaced items EVERYWHERE I'm assuming where customers left them randomly. My biggest complaint is the difficulty the freight being between every display on the aisles. Your forced to walk all the way to the end of the aisles to get around or cut through to try and get to any merchandise. This is at every Walmart not just this location. If you're going to stock while customers are shopping maybe a good idea not to hinder our ability to navigate these particular areas.
Britt R — Google review
had an incredible experience with Brandon and Chris at the Walmart Auto Care Center. They went above and beyond to help me with a flat tire—after hours! Despite being off the clock, they took the time to make sure I was safe and got my tire fixed. It’s rare to find people so dedicated and kind. Brandon and Chris truly deserve recognition for their professionalism, generosity, and outstanding customer service. Thank you both so much!

Ive been coming here for over 20 years... petersburg is not the safest place, and in the past, i wouldn't be caught breathing here after dark. However... the last 5 years or so, this place and area has turned around. The store is clean and the workers are relatively nice and helpful. Of course, being in a location as it is, they do lack more healthy food options as other walmarts may have.

Battlefields
Petersburg National Battlefield is a significant historic site that witnessed the Siege of Petersburg during the Civil War, resulting in around 70,000 casualties. This prolonged battle played a crucial role in the fall of the Confederate capital and General Robert E. Lee's surrender. The visitor center offers helpful staff, informative films, a small museum, and a gift shop. Visitors can explore the battlefields through self-guided tours by car, on foot, or by bicycle with well-marked trails and signage.
This is a really excellent battlefield visitor center! The Park Ranger (I forgot his name, I'm sorry) was very personable & patient, answering all my questions, as well as very knowledgeable! The displays & short film are highly educational, as well as being very well displayed & curated. Don't forget to browse in the gift shop for books, materials, & souvenirs!

Staff at the visitors center was very helpful and knowledgeable. This place was so nice to walk around and see all the history. There is so much to see and walk through here it amazing. I love how they’ve preserved what they could and have started to fix some of the things falling apart. Would definitely recommend stopping by and checking them out if you have the time. We only had time to make it through the east half but are going back tomorrow to finish the west half.
Brandon V — Google review
One of the most well preserved battlefields I've ever seen, I'm unsure if any of the wooden structures are original or not, but the earth foundations of multiple forts still stand along with countless cannons. The only downside is the the visitors center closes super early.

Shopping Malls
Oak Antique Mall is an impressive shop that gives the impression of stretching endlessly as one goes further back. It offers a wide range of different booths filled with intriguing items for personal use or gifts. The staff members are friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The store boasts a great selection of merchandise at reasonable prices, including two lamps that were purchased by a satisfied customer.
I spent nearly 3 hours in here because I loved all the specific history in the books and other niche items. The old building adds to the atmosphere in a perfect way. I will say that the good quality vintage clothing, and some antiques (most technically vintage) can be a little expensive. But it is %100 worth it to shop here just for the experience. And most things were priced decently anyhow. I recommend! :)

I've been going to The Oak for the many years it has been open and made many purchases. Like Petersburg itself, it's forever changing. Vendors come and go. Prices can be reasonable or outrageous. Today it seemed to be a bit too high, I bought nothing, but a few vendors were having sales. There is always interesting stuff to see and there is a smaller second floor which today was the most packed I'd ever seen it. It's never had an over abundance of furniture, but does have a little of everything else, including vintage clothing. Worth visiting multiple times and I'd give it 5 stars except for the prices today and one other very important thing to note. This is an area you need to be careful in when visiting. You will often be approached by someone looking for money. This happened today and many times before although I don't go there that often. Lock your car, be aware of who is near you and don't end up as a crime statistic.

The Oak Antique Mall has become a mixed bag of JUNK It's a huge space with a very diverse collection of items. The merchandise quality is very inconsistent. To non existent A few decent pieces might be found, (overpriced) but it is necessary to sift through many many low-quality, dusty, or overpriced items to find them. It felt like a gamble, and for me, it didn't pay off. While the staff was friendly however but detached did not come across.It's very familiar with the products being sold AT ALL SO DONT BOTHER ASKING QUESTIONS , the selection was just not what was being looked for . There are far better real antique shops in the area with true vintage and antiques of a higher quality merchandise." Being a familiar customer with this place since it opened and even a vendor at one time its sad to see such a decline over this past few years so.... if its been a while don't expect what you use to find here

New addition playground focused towards all access is a good addition. Hope more is to come. Hiking trail through woods could use a little maintenance (fallen tree branches). Planted more trees in park (got to wait to grow to get a true feel) along walking paths and various areas in the park. Alot of activities offered in center, be sure to check them out.

Not the best part I've seen. But I'll give it a 7.5 Out of 10. I understand that marijuana is legal in Virginia. But there's always somebody smoking marijuana around children and a couple of marijuana birds on the floor. A couple of spots with big puddles of water uneven land. But two football fields end a baseball field. Bathrooms are pretty far away. The park is pretty clean. Grass needed to be cut when I went. The people were pretty friendly. Not enough playground equipment for young kids. But they are pretty safe

The pictures don't do this place justice. We stopped here in the middle of a 9-hour drive. So we only had 1.5 hours to spare. We will need to come again to see it all again. 3 hours would be more realistic. My kids are 9,7, and 5. And they didn't complain once. We just read "Laura Ingalls Wilder." I'm sure this helped the kids connect to the time period.

I always noticed the highway sign for this site and finally had the opportunity to visit. The visit was well worth it. While the museum architecture is a bit dated, the exhibits are extremely well done. An audio tour is available which provides much context to the exhibits. The audio tour also offers the chance to choose a person who actually participated in the war and follow their story. You learn a lot about the life of average soldiers in a most engaging manner. The museum staff was friendly and the interpreter who spoke about the life and gear of a Union soldier was excellent. The grounds are beautiful with convenient walkways to enable access to the impressive fortifications that survive to this day. This is a wonderful site for kids and history enthusiasts.

Amazing site. It’s is a great history of the battle and the museums are great love the walk through a soldiers experience. The earthworks are a great walk and the recreated trenches are awesome for realization of the battle. It is a must stop for history people and non history people. The plantation and houses show the civilian life as well. And are just as important.

Tramonto Ristorante, aptly named after the Italian word for "sunset," is a delightful culinary haven nestled in Olde Towne Petersburg. This charming eatery has quickly become a favorite for many, including those who visit regularly. The ambiance is warm and inviting, featuring an unexpected spaciousness with a lovely cobblestone patio that adds to its charm. Diners rave about the prompt service and flavorful dishes that consistently impress.
I don't know why I continue to be surprised by Tramonto. Eaten here 6 or seven times and they always impress me. It's an unassuming little place with more room than you expect in the back and a great cobblestone patio/former alley...very inviting. My shrimp Alfredo lasted me three days. I'm not suggesting that yours will, but the portion was impressive. Servers are always very good. I think they are definitely worth a look.

We absolutely love Tramonto Ristorante! This cozy little spot has become a monthly tradition for us—and for good reason. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the family-style service makes you feel right at home every time. Our go-to order? A medium cheese & onion pizza (perfection), a fresh salad, a glass of wine or a crisp cider from Busky’s, and a dry lemon/lime water—no ice, just how we like it! 🥂🍕 The atmosphere is just right for a relaxing evening out, whether it’s date night or just treating yourself to something delicious. We’ll keep coming back, and we always recommend it to friends! — Kelle Pressley

This Restaurant's name 'Tramonto' translates from Italian to English as 🌇 'Sunset', which is when we arrived in Olde Towne Petersburg and chose this hidden gem for dinner. Glad we did. The food came promptly and was very tastey. I have to say it was so nice having our salads 🥗 arrive on chilled plates! I loved how tender the meatballs were in my Spaghetti 🍝 😋. The Greek style came with loads of feta cheese. It was a special request to leave out the 🫒 so my photo will not show how it is typically served. The loaves of bread were hot and fresh from the oven, great for dipping into their house made dressing. I will definitely visit again to try other dishes. 🫶😋

The people who work there were very nice, and friendly! The restaurant was clean. I didn't like that there's a $2 charge to get a Caesar salad instead of the house salad, but it tasted good. Their homemade lasagna was awful, it's some of the worst lasagna I've ever tasted, and I've eaten plenty of lasagna from several different restaurants! It was so bad, I couldn't even force myself to finish it! My Mom did eat her spaghetti and meatballs, but my Aunt had to take hers home to add some seasoning to it because it was tasteless! I would never go there again, but at the same time, I don't want to cause them to lose business because the staff were so nice!

If you're on the lookout for a delightful dining experience, "Taste of China" is definitely worth a visit. This charming restaurant offers an array of delicious dishes that leave patrons raving about their meals. From steamed dumplings with a flavorful dipping sauce to the ever-popular orange chicken and fried rice, each bite is sure to satisfy your cravings. The Kung Po Chicken also comes highly recommended, boasting great flavor without being overly greasy—all at a reasonable price.
I went a couple months ago and had the same experience of smaller portions and different food. They’re doing better! Food was great and bigger portions again. The egg rolls are actually better than before.

I'm disappointed because I've been coming here for years but now it is under new management. I've been several times since the switch and things have changed. The food is hit or miss, it depends on what you order. My order has been wrong twice. I also ordered 4 shrimp egg rolls: three contained one shrimp each and the fourth had none. Considering the price was raised to over 2 dollars per roll, that's unacceptable. I don't recommend ordering egg rolls! I strongly recommend checking your bag before you leave. I feel the experience could be better for the money that you pay, especially if they become more aware of what they're doing in the kitchen .

No. This is just no. I got roast pork egg foo yun and just no. My food IS RAW! RAW I TELL YOU. THAT IS A NO!. I’ve gotten this dish from here many times and never has it been raw! This is absolutely disgusting and changes need to happen! You’re gonna get someone sick! Not to mention when my food had been ready for 20 minutes. That means you just rushed my food and didn’t even take your time with it because how do you not see that the meat is completely red and raw????

I enjoyed this restaurant, the food was good that I ordered. I got steamed dumplings, orange chicken, and fried rice. The sauce for the dumplings was tasty and the customer service was excellent.

Dont go here if you respect yourself they obviously don’t respect food or people Nasty AF plus my total came up to $27.96 How!?!? There is a reason they have no traffic coming in or out

I ordered muscles in white wine sauce and it was amazing. Better than even my own recipe. I also spoke to Gail or Gayle (not sure) couple times who was very polite and also friendly. I would like to make a couple suggestions for the chef and owners. This muscles definitely needs some sort of bread to dip into all that sauce. Wherever I have lived and have had muscles, it definitely comes with bread whether I lived in San Francisco then it comes with sourdough bread or Rome it comes with Italian bread or when I lived in Paris comes with baguette. Or like now in NYC it’s whatever but it’s still bread. I had to order side of mashed potatoes so I can dip into all that good white wine sauce because they didn’t even have bread as a side order. Don’t they serve bread at all even with steak? Also I was traveling with my motorcycle and after checking in to my hotel I ordered with DoorDash. I didn’t get any napkins or utensils. No fork or spoon to slurp up all that good wine sauce. I had to ask around the hotel for some utensils.

Seafood was good the Tbone not even close to being worth it. The steak after cooking was a 1/4" thick. And Golden Carroll taste a quality. Those that say their steak is tender that's cause they either salt inject or salt brine. Cause anything this thin will become leather with cooking. If your going to charge $25+ for steak it should be a steak not a part of a whole steak. The wait didn't help either, an hour and a half. This added to the disappointment. They blamed it on parties but they are designed for parties and prebooked these parties so if they were not ready that's poor management. Bottom line take steak out of your name. Lol

Definitely the best place to eat in the area. The excellent food is perfectly matched by the great service. This is my second time coming here, and I’m even more impressed each visit the quality and dishes are outstanding. The atmosphere is spectacular. Highly recommended

Food NEVER disappoints! I've been going here for 4 years, and the food and service have been consistent! Axel particularly is the best... he's personable, interactive with my kids, attentive, and always has a smile on his face! Prices are very reasonable. Keep up the quality!

Excellent spot and I’m so glad we walked in. While taking a roadtrip we stopped for gas and saw this place. The food was delicious! I recommend the crab dip, loaded baked potato with grilled shrimp and fried flounder.

Christian, the bartender, was amazing and professional. The dark & stormy he made me was perfect! The music wasn't on when we arrived. However, they did cut it on, but it wasn't top 40hits. So the vibe was dull! The crab/shrimp dip wasn't a favorite, but the lobster/shrimp egg rolls were delicious! My husband loved the fish and chips. I enjoyed the bone in ribeye, which was cooked an excellent medium upon my request. Overall, I would return to taste other items on the menu, but I do suggest that for date night, they work on the music and add old bay to the dip! Give them a visit!

Sauce & Toss is a no-frills counter-service eatery that specializes in classic comfort foods like pizza, wings, and subs. The atmosphere may be simple, but the service shines with friendly staff who are always eager to assist. Each dish is made fresh upon order, ensuring that you receive a meal crafted just for you—though this might mean a bit of a wait. Their steak and cheese sandwiches are particularly noteworthy, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
Best Cheeseburger, I would say. They serve ice creams and milkshakes, too.

Sandwich was very good, 12in was alot to eat. I got the 777 Philly and was very happy with it. Made it a combo, should have saved my money on the combo. Sub was excellent.

I ordered “Buffalo Wings” and I got chicken burnt wings instead. There was literally NO Buffalo sauce that I was just eating plain chicken wings. It was my first time ordering here and I am so disappointed. I’ll never order here again. I ordered with a side of carrots and didn’t receive any at all. If I could give it a zero I would.

They are always kind and always helpful. They're food taste amazing especially the steak and cheese cooked to perfection. Everything is made as ordered nothing is premade so it definitely is a place to have time to wait for your order but it is indeed worth the wait. I greatly appreciate you guys.

I ordered a fish sampler and what I got was shrimp and a half a piece of fish and when I tried to correct the order with the employee, he argued with me by pointing to the half piece of fish and saying look thats still fish as of he deserved a brownie point for that. No courtesy whatsoever. The issue is they keep selling this place to different people I guess in their family and each group of people who get the facility care about it less than the last...... don't waste your time coming here unless you like frustration and regret.

absolutely delicious pizza. the best ever.
Soorah B — Google review
The food is delicious but it takes forever to get it. I have been here twice. The first time I waited over 45 minutes for some wings and there were only 2 other customers. The second time I waited over an hour for 2 subs and 2 orders of fries. My son and I were the only customers in the store. Not sure why it takes so long to get your food.
