What diners say — our read

The trajectory matters more than the average on this listing. Opinion on front-of-house is split — those reviews land at 3.7 on average. Wait times is the next most common subject, in 22% of reviews (averaging 3.7).

No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all. Of the 27 rated reviews, 17 sit at four stars or better and 9 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (15 of 27).

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (98/100) with 2 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was April 30, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. Ranked against Volusia County, it is safer than 85% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

This is a listing where the two measures each tell half the story. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    Ayla was our server and so sweet and did a great job. Very attentive and prompt. Food was good and came out quickly. You get to keep the glass if you order a drink.

  • June 26, 2026

    I got the Boneless wings in garlic Parmesan. They were delicious and just the right amount, not too small, not too large. My family's waitress Ayla was amazing and soooooo nice! She gave us great service and was really sweet.

    My family is here from out of town. We love the NASCAR theme, the music is great, and our server AYLA was the icing on the cake! Loved it

    7 bucks for a beer LMAO 🤣 and they expect a tip. No thanks!

  • June 18, 2026

    Don’t waste your time or money. Service was terrible and there wasn’t more than 4 tables at any given time. Also $15 to park for shitty food and service? No thanks!

  • June 15, 2026

    I can say the food was horrible no taste too greasy but the atmosphere was amazing I loved it.

  • June 13, 2026

    Our server was great. I think her name was Jennie? Or Jamie.

  • June 13, 2026

    If I could give all less then one star… I would. Service, horrible. Poor young girl who waited on us was sweet, but kept forgetting everything. Waited OVER 30 mins just to get the check. Food was mediocre at BEST. Absolutely STAY AWAY!!!

    My family and I ate here while at Daytona Beach, there was nine of us. It was on a Sunday afternoon and not busy at all. The waitress took our order and we waited twelve minutes to get our drinks, another 35 minutes to get our food. The food wasn't very good: wings undercooked, sandwiches were sloppy, and things didn't taste fresh. It was very over-priced for what it was. The service was very sub-par. They also add an automatic 17% tip on your bill, which I dont feel they should do. I dont think I would go back there to eat again.

  • June 8, 2026

    The place has a racing atmosphere theme and it's nice. They have karaoke for who like it. The food is okay and the price is average.

  • June 6, 2026

    Amazing Time

  • June 5, 2026

    The place itself is great ! Right on the corner of many shops and easy to access with huge front doors with a very small lip, easy access for wheelchair users. Our server was great and attentive the whole time, had an answer for every question we had as well as checking for any questions she did not know the exact answer for; to make sure we had a good experience. A fine selection of beers and cocktails. The garlic parmesan fries were to die for, and our food came out very quick. Would love to come again next time I am in the Daytona area.

  • May 12, 2026

    Stickiest floor in Daytona Beach. Awesome bartenders. Terrible disgusting bar food. Definitely recommend.

  • May 12, 2026

    Love this place 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • May 11, 2026

    Was told by staff that they stay open till 12 or 1 am and online says till 230 am. They were closed at 1130. Needs to update hours or address staff closing early.

  • May 10, 2026

    Prices were stupid, waitress was nice enough but that didn't make up for everything else I fear. The only edible things were the garlic fries. The quality of the food was awful considering the price. Anywhere else the prices would have gotten you a great meal instead of reheated slop.
