Just west of town is Big Daddy's Restaurant and Oyster Bar which is a curious combination of a fish joint and race cars. The sign looks like something you would expect to see at any New England seafood restaurant but the building, with all the style and grace of a modem warehouse and a roof lined with race cars, lets you know immediately that you could only be in NASCAR territory. The owner was there when I stopped by and told us the yellow truck took the number once spot in last years race circuit and as he was a personal friend of the driver, the driver wanted him to have the truck for his restaurant. If you want a seafood with a pinch of NASCAR, this apparently is the place. 05-08 R.O.'s Bar-B-Q Gastonia, NC Photo and info courtesy Richard Weiss This sign for R.O.'s Bar-B-Q in Gastonia, NC features a neon sign with outlines of piggies surrounding the edge. 07-08 Horne's Restaurant Port Royal, VA Photo and info courtesy Tait Hilliard This Horne's Restaurant is found in Port Royal VA. Horne’s was originally set up in 1960 as competition for the Stuckey’s business which was prominent in the south. This is the only Horne’s left in existence. Great breakfast!. More information on the Horne's Port Royal can be found at the Horne's website. 08-08 Jarret Restaurant (Closed) Jarret, NC Photo and info courtesy Tait Hilliard Jarret, VA is home to an abandoned restaurant. The picture doesn't’t do it justice but there is a tree growing through the middle of the Jarret Restaurant now. There is a sign for a hotel across from it but it is in an overgrown lot. 08-08 Pages : 1 2 3 4 5 6 [7] Eateries Main \| Burger \| Cafe \| Diners \| Drive-in Eateries \| Fast Food \| Hot Dogs \| Neon Sit Down \| Snacks \| Taverns \| Eateries Florida \| Southeast Main Home \| Search \| What's New \| Contact Disclaimers, Copyright, and Trademarks Page Last Updated August 2, 2008
