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!

We were recommended to Racing’s North Turn by our RV resort, and it did not disappoint! The museum was fascinating, and every bite of food was absolutely delicious. The crab legs, hush puppies, and mahi mahi were all amazing! Jessica was such a wonderful waitress—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The owner couldn’t have been kinder to our family, and even the woman running the gift shop was so warm and welcoming. Being able to walk right off the back deck and dip our toes in the sand was the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommend this spot for great food, great service, and a bit of Daytona Beach history!

This is a museum and restaurant all in one. When you enter, there are photos, motorcycles and cars from early days of racing. We got the best seat in the house, looking onto the ocean. My wife was impressed with the flavor and size of her Caeser salad. The Pulled Pork sandwich was tender and flavorful. We will return when we are in town.

Brad and the team are doing a great job in making this a great & special place. They cater to the locals and the traveler. I expected good pub food. It was not “just” pub food. I had the crab cakes (great texture and taste) after the awesome quesadilla. I left with key lime pie. The serving team are high energy and adds to the overall atmosphere. Good value and awesome menu that includes top-notch seafood offerings. I will be back!!

This restaurant is a must go if you’re in the area. The vibes, service, views, and of course, food, were amazing. You are also right on the beach, so make sure to dip your feet and collect a few shells before you head out. A special shoutout to my server, Dean, for being so great!

Jessica had all the right suggestions and served it up with a smile!
Get them tater bombs for a starter and enjoy the view. You’ll be glad you did.
