| - I like this place a lot, go-karts aside, this restaurant definitely stands alone as a great dining destination. Part of the charm is the awesome bartenders/waitstaff - all of the ladies are super nice.
There's a a large selection of brew - gotta love seeing locals represented - plus a good-sized cocktail menu.
I've tried the cheese sticks (love classics done well), nachos (nice spicy bite), redneck taters (basically bbq potato skins - yum!), and burgers (huge - only get the double if you dare) and have always been impressed. One note: you do need to place your order at the bar, but they will bring it out to your table once your meal is ready.
Ambiance is good, there are 4 TVs over the bar, so sitting there or at one of the counters looking out over the track is your best bet, but there are a lot of additional tables if you have a larger group. They've got a couple of games to pass the time - 2 skee ball machines, 2 sets of cornhole, and a jenga-type game - plus the venue overlooks the track so you can watch the races and see live scores projected onto the wall (always fun to see how you stack up against the competition!). It would be nice if they added a few more arcade games for folks waiting on an order or between races.
They do host a lot of corporate events, so if you're looking for a place to stage an event, or even if you only need a caterer, you know the food is sure to be good.
All in all, it's a fun locale just north of uptown Charlotte, right off the I-77/I-85 intersection, and definitely worth a weeknight/weekend visit.
