Jewell’s on Main
The place for great food in Warsaw, KY. A casual dining restaurant serving comfort food with a
regional flair. Just 5 minutes from Kentucky Speedway. A favorite of Bruton Smith and his gang, as well as many race teams. The shrimp & grits are the best around, as well as many regional dishes such as fried green tomatoes and frog legs. Jewell’s has it’s own twist on the famous Kentucky hot brown. No one ever walks away from Jewell’s hungry or disappointed. A favorite of Kentucky Motor Speedway track chaplain John Roberts.

Sunset Grill
Sunset Grill is a favorite of Cara Lagana, who works in NASCAR television. Its on the Kentucky side of the river across from the Belterra. Good food, amazing location, fun atmosphere. Sit outside at night and watch the sunset on the river. Good/cheap food and beer. At lunch one time, they had a burger bar. Just like a neighborhood cookout-tell em what you want and they'll make it. Good laid-back restaurant.

DOVER EQUALS SEAFOOD SEAFOOD SEAFOOD
If you aren't a fan of Sambo's, maybe it is the sometime moody service or high price, another option is Boondocks. It's a similar type place, without the Sambo's hype, that is also family operated.

Cool Springs
NASCAR Media Group cameraman Gary Johnson found this place a few years back when we were both working on the tv show Totally NASCAR. Don't be fooled by it's strip-mall location. Cool Springs is a great place for eclectic dishes and seafood favorites. Gets big points on the yum-scale. The NASCAR PR staff gives Cool Springs many thumbs up.

Roma Italian Restaurant
Peter "Rabbit" Jellen, long-time transporter driver and crew member with the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing Kyle Busch Team, offered up this place to us a few years back. It's a great, affordable Italian place close to the track. It's right near Dover Airforce Base. A favorite of Jason "Eagle" Allison.

Sambo's Tavern
It's a place that you'd only hear about from someone who's been. You won't find this remote location in your travels around Dover Int'l Raceway. Sambo's is off the beaten path but on the radar for nearly everyone in the NASCAR garage. Robby Gordon several of us to Sambo's for the first time several years ago. It's a small seafood restaurant that is usually packed with NASCAR folks. We even saw Jeff Gordon dining there the other year.
Newpaper covered tables and crabs, that's all you really need to know! Get ready to get messy. This place is known for it's crabs and it is essential to roll-up the sleeves and get crackin!

Pleasonton's Seafood
In the battle of local seafood, Pleasonton's is the underdog. This family owned seafood place is more of a seafood market than restaurant. You can go in and order crabs and they will cook it up for you right there or you can bring some back to your hotel. It's as fresh as you can get and full of local-family owned love. Great people and good seafood.

Mari Monti Restorante
Mari Monti is a casual, but more upscale restaurant than some of our other Dover food-finds. It's another "don't be fooled by it's strip-mall location" places. It offers a great menu of gourmet italian dishes. The seafood is fresh and wonderful. MD and all of the folks from Racing Electronics, including owner Bruce Silver, eat there during race weekend.

Helen's Famous Sausage House
It's a simple equation. Take a simple menu, trucker hours and a family recipe of sausage passed down four-generations and it equals Helen's Famous Sausage House. It's been open since 1985 and is a pretty cool lil' family operated place. Sausage lovers, check it out!
