NASCAR Sports Grill Review

This is the most intriguing of the many theme restaurants of Myrtle Beach. It's devoted to the history and memorabilia of the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), which, if you didn't already know, includes fans worldwide who are almost fanatically devoted to the lore and minutiae of the subculture. Set within a building that vaguely evokes a temple to some exotic high-tech god, the dining room is prefaced with one of the most complete collections of NASCAR memorabilia in the world. Look for Americana that sometimes make nostalgia buffs weep, including bar stools made from oil barrels, balustrades crafted from the springs of old cars, and the out-of-date logos of spare-parts companies that no longer exist. Food is relentlessly geared to the kind of fare you might expect at Indy on a superheated race day. Your waiter (who will identify him- or herself as a member of your pit crew) will bring you heaping portions of food that includes six kinds of burgers, "supercharged chili," chargrilled shrimp, barbecued ribs, and chicken potpie.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
