Shirley's Bar & Restaurant sits in the lobby of the Hotel Petersburg. The dim lighting and caramel color combinations give the place an old time parlor feel. Many guests find the atmosphere relaxed and the vibe nice. The menu offers a variety of dishes. The smash burger, salmon, shrimp, tuna, ribs and coconut cake are often described as delicious and outstanding. The kids menu includes chicken tenders, burger and fries. Sweet potato fries are a standout and highly recommended. The shrimp cocktail appetizer and fried green tomato are also praised. Service varies. Some diners report a sweet and personable waitress who makes the experience good for families. Others note slow service, especially when the restaurant is empty or when there are large groups. The server sometimes does not check on drinks or meals, and waitstaff can be short. Despite these issues many guests still recommend Shirley's for its food, friendly service and convenient location. The restaurant is a good choice for road trips, anniversaries or holiday dinners, but it may need more staff during busy times. Guests also enjoy the holiday specials and the Thanksgiving dinner, which many say was top notch. The bar offers a variety of drinks that complement the menu. Overall, Shirley's balances good food with a relaxed setting, though staff levels can affect the pace.
