Nascar Cafe Needs a Pit Stop!

We have been fans of the food and atmosphere of the Myrtle Beach Nascar Cafe for years. It "has been" on our list of must do's on each trip to MB. It has been a couple of years since our last visit. Yesterday,1/20/08, we stopped in for our usual ribs. It was a cold and miserable day and we were expecting our day to improve with our visit to get ribbed up. We placed our order and waited for the ribs anxiously. While waiting we both had to visit the restrooms. The ladies had been moved downstairs. The mens room needed help. It was not at all clean to our standards and to how we had found it on previous visits. It was in need of cosmetic repair and was not totally functional-some of the towel dispensers were empty or not operational, etc.
When our order arrived we asked about the coleslaw included on the menu. We were told it did not come with the slaw. The ribs were good as usual but the feel was not electric as it had once been. No more of the very good baked beans I had come to anticipate and savor. We were disappointed to say the least. As we were leaving we stopped at the hostess area and reread the menu. The coleslaw was indeed included with the meal. Being a low key person I did not bring these issues to the manager. No one on the floor seemed to be overly managerial oriented. It is my hope that someone in authority will read my comments and make amends to make one of my pleasures in MB.

We decided to go after just coming out of the NASCAR Speed Park and thought that this would be the topper after riding in their cars all day. What we found was a fairly enjoyable time, where we were not rushed out and were able to look at the memorabilia that they have before you even walk in the front door, with three cars out on the curb. Plus, you can watch one of their big screen TVs, or one of the smaller TVs scattered around showing highlights and replays from a previous race, or some other sport, whichever may be on ESPN while you are there.
The food was decent but we all just wanted sandwiches for a change of pace. We ordered the Daytona Chili Burger, the Thunder Road Burger, and the Pit Pig Sandwich. They were all good and very filling since the burgers are half-pounders and they all came with a mountain of fries. If you are looking for something else, then they do have ribs, chicken, pork, fish, and steak, or maybe a salad for those wanting something a little lighter.
If you do go here, try to look through one of the many coupon books for a discount. We didn't have one but found one a few days later that would have given us 10% off, and a second coupon for a free dessert. We didn't have room for the dessert, so we didn't check any out. Sorry.
As you leave, you can also check out their gift shop for those race-car fans out there. We are not big NASCAR fans but found it to be an enjoyable experience.

We didn't actually eat here, but I love NASCAR, so I had to make a point to at least stop by. They have a gift shop, and the cafe is decorated in various NASCAR items, such as jackets, car pictures, car parts, and surfboards. Some of it is autographed. It is similar to a museum, or if you have been to a Hard Rock Cafe, it reminded me a bit of that.

: Start the "Qualifying Lap" with Talledega Tenders, Winston Wings, of one the NC’s fine soups; I started with the Cream of Potato soup which was excellent. From the "Starting Lap" menu you add a salad selection, such as the Speedway Salad. From the "Sandwiched In" you can add the Pit Pig sandwich, the Daytona chili burger, the Thunder Road burger, or the Nascar Burger. I went with the Nascar Burger which was ½ pound of perfectly grilled ground beef topped with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Excellent! For the larger appetite, one can go to the "Sizzlin’ and Swishin’" menu and go for the Rockingham Ribeye or the DW Dude Filet. You can go to NASCAR café online by clicking on the link below and viewing the entire menu.

Service:
The service was excellent. The young lady that waited on us was very pleasant and returned to the table often to refresh our drinks. And equally important, our check was ready for us when we were ready to leave!!
Prices:
Most sandwiches are in the $7-8 range. Entrees were generally $10-15.
Décor:
The décor was obviously a NASCAR theme. There were four large screen TVs and the front of the dining areas that could be viewed from almost anywhere in the facility. There were smaller TVs mounted at various locations for convenience. NASCAR highlights and interviews with drivers were played on a continual basis. I was a little disappointed in the rest of the exhibits; they were spare compared a similar theme of a restaurant that I frequent in the Orlando area. Since this particular restaurant was carrying the NASCAR name, I expected a much more elaborate "museum"-like atmosphere.
Other Benefit:
Oh, I almost forgot. I had a coupon (available in most any Myrtle Beach coupon book) for a free gift in you spend more than $20 in the café. My free gift was a ride in the NASCAR simulator. Great experience; but my advice ……….. Save the ticket and go back and get your free ride BEFORE you eat !!!

Was the worst meal I have ever had in my life. Even the kids refused to eat! Don't get sucked in thinking your doing something special for the kids. If you go, don't eat there -- just take the short self-guided tour.
