The Legend of the Original First Turn Steakhouse

The original First Turn Restaurant and Lounge was founded in 1984 by Rick, Denise and Lee Hilliard on US 92 near the Daytona Speedway. Based on a Stock Car Racing Theme and being the home of the Charcoal Sizzlin Steak, soon many drivers and teams became frequent visitors. In the fall of 1988 the original First Turn moved to its present location on US 1 in Allendale, one mile south of the Port Orange Bridge. People from miles around come to enjoy a famous Sizzlin Steak, a good time and racing memorabilia that has created a history of early racing in the Daytona Area.
