| - Very pleasantly surprised. Went in expecting a grease-loaded nitemare, came away with functional pub-grub.
Was kinda a pinch search in the corridor, but wanted something sit down and not too horrible. Had never tried one of these so the flyer, excitement element was in play. Turned out pretty well.
The race car vibe totally fit the Lowe's Motor Speedway environs -- plus a car dealership is next door. Kinda cheesy, but good sight lines to the screens in the main dining area.
Like a hundred other places, they hype their wings. An app sampler (medium) justified it. Nice, dry, firm wings with a little spice (hot would be my choice next time) were very good. Could see making a nice entree of an order.
But instead we rolled a bbq steak sammich ("Thinly shaved sirloin sautéed with our BBQ sauce, crispy breaded thick-cut O-Rings, chunky bacon and Cheddar-Jack cheese"), a chicken wrap, and a turkey melt.
Not fancy, not high-end, but very well turned out. Nothing goopy, runny, or salty -- just well done, watch the TV, and get full fare. No complaints. But a bonus were the freshly finished, meaty, and not greasy french fries that appealed to even non-fry fans. Cannot honestly say if we just got lucky, but you can tell when a fry has been fired to order or not. Good luck.
Service was OK, a bit of the fire-and-forget mode in these types of joints, but nothing below par. Did wish that the draft selection was a little more evolved -- no local crafts - or crafts of any kind - were an option, so Yuengling it was. Real bummer.
