Race Rock

[NigelM]

Son who is 14 whilst we there loves all the flashy sports car games. We want to have his buffdee dinner at Race Rock.

Any views?

Thanks

[Genie]

It's a great place to eat , great atmosphere and good food, I'm sure he will love it !

We were last November and really enjoyed our night there. There are arcade games around the restuarant but not the most up to date games.
The food and service were great.

hope you like them, we head there every time we go to florida its one of our favourite places, the food portions are massive, and food is great! they have harley davidson miniature bikes you operate with a coin, lots of things to look and and videos with racing etc on, so there is a lot of interesting stuff to see!

but this is my opinion[msnwink]

[gwendolinemary]

I think that's a great idea - we love Race Rock and try to go there at least once when we're in Orlando.

[owen3]

Where is it.
Barbara

[LiesaAnna]

i think its near the massive covention centre?[?]

[owen3]

Thanks Liesa, my grandson would love it. Will go next time we are there.

It is on International Drive just before you get to the convention centre and opposite Wonderworks and Point Orlando. Next door to where they do helicopter rides.

[LiesaAnna]

oh stop it am getting soooooo excited now!!!

[CCollins]

mmmm, thinking of Race Rock has made me hungry,

Chicken Alfredo Pasta........wish I was there now[msncry][msncry][msncry]

[LiesaAnna]

me too! one of the families favourite places to go eat at!!! am sure a 14 year old boy who likes bikes and cars and racing on the whole would enjoy it here!

[gwendolinemary]

Race Rock Nachos ..... Best in the world!!

I have seen it, but didn't know it was a restuarant. Thanks for posting the link Liesa looks good.

If you've ever driven from a villa to Universal down the I4 then you would probably have seen it on the right hand side - it's next to where the helicopters take off from and it has a conical black and white chequered roof.
This was the very first place we ever ate in in Florida and is always on our list of places to visit.

am sure you would enjoy it, pegs, the food is good very good, the sizes are very big, they accomadate you really, we told them our kids were fussy so got them extra large plates of fries with hot melted cheese all over, they were lovely!!

[freddiehollie]

I can feel the extra pounds going on as I read your posting Liesa :D:D

[LiesaAnna]

:D:D:D:DIm still carrying them Mike!:D:D:D

[Southsider]

We have just been to the Race Rock for dinner this evening and have to agree with the big portions, none of us were able for dessert!!!

[KarenScott]

it's a place that I remember Carla saying she has tried and it must have been a positive report as I keep say we must go whenever we are over but haven't made it yet, maybe next time[clap]

[E. Cosgrove]

We've never been either, will have to add it to the list!:)

[eagleydo]

Not been here. Have to give this one a go.:D

[LiesaAnna]

[Suzzee]

There're food is great and the milkshake I had was to die for.

Sue

[CCollins]

Liesa,

I have never managed a desert or a milkshake.

Next time I go I will try much harder - I promise!

Not going out until x-mas time - if you are there we can meet up and you can witness me 'forcing' down their yummy food![msnwink]

Caroline, the food is very nice, the shakes are very nice and the deserts.................well theyre very nice to[msnwink] apart from Johnny Rockets, these are our favourites!

sorry Caroline, we go in sept, looks like we gonna be meeting Jan at race rock!!!

[CCollins]

Liesa,

don't worry - I'll have something for you - what's your fav?[msnwink]

BTW - Cookies and cream shake from JR's is worth the 3000 mile trip on its own.[msntongue]

[LiesaAnna]

im sure i had the road hog, but it was with garlic crushed potatoes and pork chops boneless, it was massive and gorgeous, couldnt eat it all and pudding.................. i did leave a time before i ate it, the big apple, ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Unfortunately Race Rock has closed forever, as is posted on their website today.

[Sue and Jere]

My boys will not be happy, especially my dad. [msncry] We always eat here on most of our trips.

Just went onto thier website and this is what i found.

Has closed permanently. Thank you for 11 great years.[msnoo]

[jovi]

Oh no!!![msnmad] We were going to try Race Rock for my son's 11th birthday, it is while we are away and he loves bikes and cars, any other suggestions greatly accepted.[msnwink]

[CCollins]

WHAT!!!

Is someone joking???

Please tell me someone is joking??????[msncry][msncry][msncry][msncry][msncry][msncry][msncry]

[MTP]

This quite disappointing as we had always meant to go there and just never got round to it. It is like Eduardo's Station closing in Mount Dora - shouldn't be allowed!

[christhear]

This was one we visited every trip, just told my son and this was his reaction[msnsad]
Sam used to love taking photos of all the stuff.
I've also got a few pictures of him by the monster truck. In the earlier ones he used to stand inside the wheel.

[eagleydo]

Can't believe this, just told everyone we were going here this year. Made partial plans to meet Liesa there and now its closed.

[CCollins]

Checked their website and it doesn't say why it closed.

Whenever we have been there is it always busy and the food has always been amazing.

We have loads of memories of great meal's there - I am really sad it's gone[msnsad]

I wonder what's going to happen to the Monster Trucks etc??? Maybe there's a gap in the rental market for them[msnwink]

[LiesaAnna]

i feel gutted!
does anyone know the reason why? must admit its never been overly busy when we have been there but its far from empty,
its a shame, just dont let Johnny Rockets close or i will get mad!!!![V]

[CCollins]

Liesa,

if JR at Pointe Orlando closes there is always the Mall at Millenia!!!

I doubt that will close as they are a worldwide chain, Race Rock [msncry] only had the one restaurant.

[LiesaAnna]

such a shame, but spose we will have to look out for anything similar?

[moodyvilla]

Drove past yesterday evening, was very sad to see the place all shut up and 'do not enter' signs all over the place. They are having a auction next week, would love the monster truck but not sure if it would fit in the garden!!!

[LiesaAnna]

any ideas as to why its closed?

[Pegasus928]

It closed because real estate prices became too high and the new owner has decided to put the property to 'another use'

Can't think of another use that would top Race Rock tho [msnsad]

Elaine

[LiesaAnna]

its a shame, we have always enjoyed having a meal and a look around in Race Rock,:([msncry]
