    Shirley's is the best thing that has happened in Old Towne Petersburg in a very long time. The food is superb, the service is wonderful and I cannot wait to go back. I have been there for lunch twice and I highly recommend the tomato bisque that comes with a delicious mini cornbread and the new "composed salad" is outstanding, especially with the southern buttermilk dressing. Desserts are unique and so tasty. My favorite part of the meal each time was that I had coffee with warm cream. I have never had that at a restaurant before. Service is outstanding and atmosphere is so nice. I highly recommend Shirley's for lunch. I love it!
