Customer Reviews
A very cool place with racing history all throughout the building. There is a large parking lot across the street with a cross walk that makes much easier to get there due to how busy it gets. The bar and dining area faces the ocean and you can enter from the beach side. Best of all, the food is amazing! Extremely good seafood and the live music was great. Not overpowering so we could talk and enjoy.
Racing’s North Turn is a must-stop. Visiting Daytona for Bike Week, I stayed with some local friends, and they said this was the best spot around. I can see why all the racing history in the entryway is captivating. The main seating area is large and comfortable. They had a great live band, the food was excellent and served quickly, and our server, Jessica, was fun and attentive.
Of course we couldn't leave Daytona without going by Racing's North Turn which was recommended by a coworker. We arrived after the Daytona 500 and the bottom dropped out as soon as we hit the parking lot! We were seated right away even though the parking lot across the street was pretty full. Jackie was our server and she was friendly and professional. We started with the Potato Bombs which were delicious. I got the "Donnie Allison" fried shrimp and he wanted the Fish & chips however he had to settle for the Barbecue Bacon Burger because they were out of it. Both were satisfying to the taste buds! The atmosphere was nice and we both enjoyed looking around at the history of the racing memorabilia. We got a couple t-shirts and a shot glass from the gift shop.
We were in town for the Daytona 500. We had a great experience visiting the museum and gift shop. The lady in the gift shop was so nice and told us the history of the restaurant! She pointed out the pictures that showed the original Daytona track on the beach. I was so grateful she did this!!! The food was amazing! Our waiter was awesome. The potato bombs were delicious! I loved my pina colada! Great patio over looking the beach. ⛱️ They had live music that was nice!! I will definitely back the next time we visit the area!!
We had an incredible experience at Racing’s North Turn! Our server, G, was fantastic, and Jake, the bartender, provided amazing service, even while managing a large table. The attentiveness was top-notch throughout our visit. The food was outstanding! We tried the crab dip as an appetizer, and it was a perfect start to our meal. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy more of what this place has to offer!
