We stopped into Top Fuel today to check out their Daytona 500 special -- the Hillbilly Surf & Turf…read more It's a fun combo of a Crawfish Boil served alongside Meatloaf, and it definitely caught our attention. We've been here before for their Friday Fish Fry (which is excellent), so we were looking forward to trying something different. I ordered the Mudbugs (crawfish) only, while my wife ordered the combo with Mudbugs and Meatloaf. The underlying motivation? She doesn't eat Mudbugs -- so I knew I'd be getting a bonus portion. The Mudbugs were cooked from live crawfish and seasoned with a classic Cajun blend. They varied in size but were served in generous one-pound portions. The flavor was fresh, well-seasoned, and exactly what you'd hope for in a good boil. Now, the real surprise was the Meatloaf. My wife loves Meatloaf but is extremely picky about it. I can honestly say she loved this one. After trying a bite myself, I agreed completely. It had a rich, beefy flavor, was moist throughout, and the ends had that perfect crunchy outer crust -- which is always the best part. We also ordered the Jalapeño Poppers. They had a nice crunchy exterior, and the pepper and cream cheese filling was creamy without being overcooked -- a solid appetizer choice. Top Fuel has that fun, laid-back dive bar atmosphere with lots of friendly people just enjoying themselves. It's comfortable, welcoming, and easy to settle in for a while. We'll definitely be back soon.

You can't find much cleaner bathrooms in town. It basically is a dive bar. Some features include a jukebox and a pool table in the other room. There's actually quite lots of space in here and it seems pretty clean too. Bathrooms are no exception. These aren't covered in who knows what like many other bar bathrooms around here. It has lots of cheap drinks. On tap is Heileman's Old Style. It's about $2 for a pint. There's food too. Pretzel bites are good to munch on while at the bar. It's $5 for a basket full. These help soak up alcohol so you can stay here later. Good place for a cheap ass drink. Play some pool. The other food options include typical bar things like fries and wings.

The bartenders where friendly and very understanding when we went in to tell them 2 days in a row. Looked like a clean, relaxed place to have a beer. Music wasn't blaring the nighst we went in which is a plus in my book. Would stop in for a drink when I have the time soon. They had drink specials posted for every day which is a good thing. I have heard many folks say they have some of the best bloody mary's around and are a special on Sundays. Thanks again Snookers!

Albeit antique and junk stores, but at least they are trying (we saw so many towns that had given up on our trip). The Rustic Inn felt very welcoming and had not been spiffed up to appeal to tourists. It looks and feels like it exists because those that live there want it to exist. It was hot (in the high 90's) yet when we walked in the place was very chill (temperature and attitude). But best of all they had shuffleboard. And a good one at that. We opted to forego the free play and spent quarters just so we could use the vintage scoreboard....it was as much fun and playing the game. This is a great stop on the long highway and we would definitely come back again.

Most of the rest are chains, with the few others being worn out looking. The prices are pretty okay, so it's good enough to come back to some time. Basic looking for a neighborhood bar. It's one of a few that are downtown. This is actually right next to another one. Maybe drinking is the only thing to do around here. One can do that here and eat too. It's about $4 for a basic cocktail. There's a decent amount of liquors including a few whiskeys. It's about $4 for an appetizer. Tater tots are a good choice for any occasion. For sure it's nothing worth going into too much about. It's located in downtown on Broadway. There's a lot of drink and food specials.
