I really like their food. They have a large menu that includes a Hot Dago and Monte Cristo. Their fish fry is great and is a must during Lent. I haven't been disappointed with the food. It is not a fine dining establishment, but a great burger joint!

I'd have to agree that food doesn't inspire much in the way of exciting the tastebuds. However, the bar staff is friendly and you can usually get your drink the way you asked for it. I would not recommend going on karaoke night unless you've decided to have your ears be assailed. Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of karaoke, but going there on a first date having someone "serenade" in the background was more than distracting,

After several trips to "The Car Bar" I have yet to be impressed with the food. The owner is very nice and has a helpful staff, they have a great back room that is semi-private for gatherings; however the food is average.
In a town full of pizza, Subways, and chain restaurants I really wanted to like it but alas it has left me feeling meh.
Good happy hour prices on drinks and it has a very loyal following. -

Having been to A/M a few times before, I was middle of the road with my impression of the food. I had first been there shortly after they opened, and my food came out on a hub cap, the fries weren't anything to write home about, and the burger was nothing special.
The had gone thru a few rounds of expansions, remodels etc, and whatnot, and I thought I'd give them a try again, after-all, it has been a few years, and their parking lot now is pretty much always full. We walked in, to get a high top table in the bar, and ordered our drinks. They had a variety of beers on tap from frat-boy specials to local breweries, which I was happy to see, the local supporting the local.
The menu had a number of themed items revolving around nascar and auto-racing history, which set it apart from your run of the mill eatery.
I put in an order for chicken cordon bleu with fries, Jeff got a cheeseburger, Pam got the penne pasta in alfredo and Eileen got the buffalo chicken sammich. After about 15-20 minutes our food made it out, which was acceptable seeing as the place was about 70% full, and the bar area seemed to have a few Holiday parties in the mix, including what appeared to be a santa hat pub-crawl that head off. It appears they also have karaoke on the weekends as well.
The food came out as I said before I got sidetracked, and it looked great. Much better than my past experience. As we dug into our meals, everyone was impressed with the meals. Even the side ceasar that Pam had was above what I had expected, just on presentation alone. She commented that her pasta was right on, and tasted very good. Jeff's burger was to his liking, and he made short work of scarfing that down. Eileen said her buffalo chicken was tasty. Not too much spice but enough to make it warm and enjoyable. My chicken was excellent, ham, chicken, cheese on a roll, it quickly disappeared.
The fries were also good. Far better than fast food, and actually most chain places that I've had fries at. Not quite huge wedge cut, but bigger than fast food, and FAR better. The service also was pretty good. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, and always was on top of our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, I was impressed with American Motorsports. The food, service and overall experience was far better than my last visit, and I will certainly return again. -

Drinks are cheap but bartenders are RUDE. Literally don't even say 'hi', look at you, etc. Inattentive. Snotty. Food mediocre.
