Race City Truck Stop And Restaurant

IMG_0508Hello everyone,

 While traveling through the state of Alabama, I had the chance to visit  the Race City Truck Stop and Restaurant, located along I-20 at exit 168 in Lincoln, Alabama. This place has some neat race souvenirs throughout the store and gets its name from the close proximity to the Talladega Speedway. I enjoyed a nice dinner which included catfish. Fish and BBQ are a specialty for the restaurant. The food was good and the price was reasonable. The service I received was excellent. They offer home cooking with all you can eat buffet on Friday and Saturday evening. Breakfast buffet is offered on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I plan to stop here again when in the area.  If you see my blue Cascadia in the parking lot, feel free to stop in and chat. Until next time… be safe.

Henry
