| - Well as a disclaimer, I'm not a huge fan of NASCAR by any means. Yeah I live in Charlotte but still very much a misplaced northerner in these regards. It's fun to go to a race, sure, but I can't really get into watching a car drive around in circles for 600 laps, especially without alcohol or watching it on TV! Yikes!
So with the Speedway Club, it's nothing personal, I just already wasn't a fan of a restaurant built inside a speedway. I probably would have never known it was even there until I was recently asked for my opinion on where the office Christmas party was to be held, and given a few choices between here and uptown, I said, jokingly of course, "Oh the most expensive. Absolutely." As such, we wound up here.
Let me touch on that first. This is definitely not a place for the tight walleted. Just look at the online menu. Now again, as I didn't pay for anything myself, let's just say my rating is a little skewed. You are by far paying for the experience/ atmosphere. Simply put, if you're a fan of NASCAR and go in expecting to shell out that kind of money, I'm sure you will enjoy yourself. The food quality was very good.
Secondary to food, I had a lot of drinks while we were there. Too many drinks. Great selections of beer, wine, and liquor. Hell, they even had moonshine for all you classy rednecks. Surprisingly, most beers were modestly priced at $4.50, and most glasses of wine were $6.
Service was very good. No complaints whatsoever.
The overall atmosphere was the ultimate pro. Very well decorated interior. Windows everywhere to look down at the track. Especially during December, you have all the Christmas lights done up for people to drive through. While we were here, there was even an outdoor movie, the Christmas Story, shown on an outdoor television.
Definitely a good time. ...from what I remember.
