Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

We all know the chain restaurants. What would be great is a list of the local places with good food, value, and or a certain flair.

Crossing south Mississippi?

I-10 Exit 57. Go north about 500 ft.

"The Shed". Great bbq and an atmosphere like nothing else.

Was featured on "Diner's, Drive Ins and Dives".

Try Showmars when in Charlotte, on the left on 29, 5 miles south from the dragstrip:
115 McCullough Drive,Charlotte, NC 28262
My favorite is the fish sandwich combo, ask for extra tarter sauce and dip the fries in it. Yum!

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

Midwood Smokehouse in Charlotte is just absolutely unbelievable. Best barbecue everything.

Burnco in Tulsa, OK, the ribs will change your life, AND they bring out samples while you wait because the line is always out the door.

Bell Rose, Just find "Fascat" at the track for great crawfish pies and seafood pasta. Patsy, didn't he deliver you guys some last year?

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

If you're ever at Ohio Valley in Louisville, Bonnie and Clyde's on Dixie Hwy. has the best Pizza I've ever eaten. Cooked in gas fired brick ovens. They make their own sausage. If you don't believe me ask Captain Jack.

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

We make time to hit Drago's in Metarie La.
Oysters broiled in Garlic butter with Parmasean cheese!
Belle Rose is the only race I go to that I gain weight at!

What Greg said!

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

In Gainesville on University Dr. Pisano's in the Holiday Inn . Awesome sports bar with great Italian . Had the eggplant parm was great also the 1/2 PD meatball . Everything looked great.

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

I haven't been travelling in a while so I can't personally add anything. But when I was doing 10 to 15 races a year, the go-to tour guide was Dave Kommel. I think he got quite a bit of help from Paul LeSage, but regardless he always had the word on where to go. Maybe he's out there reading and will chime in.

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

Garafola's in Concord. It's about two or three miles from ZMax Dragway. Excellent Italian food!

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

Rockingham Dragway, try Captain Larrys Seafood, just off of hwy 74 in Laurinburg,NC.
Bristol Dragway, Ridgewood BBQ, hard to find but worth the trip. Don Jackson

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

Al Ackerman's (comp racer) motorhome

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

Chip and Sue Ippollito's pit is hard to beat, great food and plenty of it. Luchento's near Etown for italian and Big Daddy's in Noble Ok. for barbeque.

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

I'm heading to Bowling Green next weekend. What are the local favorites?

Thanks

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

It is a regional chain but we really liked O'Charley's

I think we ate there three times during Drag Week 2013.

Bill

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

thanks for the recommendation. I haven't been to an O'Charley's in years.

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

Montana Grille

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

yep definately a good place! we ate there last time and will probably hit it again this trip.

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

When in Columbus at National Trail try Clay's cafe in Hebron. Turn left out of the track and go East for about two miles. They will also deliver to the gate!! Good food, reasonable price. Call in and it's close enough to get there, pick up your food and return in less than 20 min.

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

Dinwiddie, Va
Giuseppes's Pizza

Re: Great Places To Eat At The Races
 

If you go to the Winters or World Finals need to go to Roady's in San Dimas.
