Hawg Heaven is the place I am missing the most not being there. It is very small, so they may only be doing takeout, but its worth it, even if you have to eat in the car.

Opalescent Glass is definitely worth the tour, as is Grissom AFB.

Also, I hear there's a pretty good race track on the northwest corner.

Yes you are correct about Hawg Heaven! I also forgot Jays Thai is great too! I’m sure I will think of more or feel free to add to my list!

We ate here during Sprint Week and it was really good. They were open for dine in but maybe had 10 tables total. Definitely worth the stop.

Josh wanted me to add Rays Drive inn Also Evelyn Edington Miss E's 1306 North Webster amazing cooking and its just south of the Speedway

Please support places that support Racing, For the very best home cooked breakfast Choo Choos on East Markland can not be beat, lunch and dinner will blow you away also. Dave's brother has the Wind Mill Grill at Sycamore and Dixon These are both family resturants so its home cooking at its best, with the little profit they have sponsored Dave Darland the past couple seasons Please support them so they can support Dave Tell them you are there because of the Speedway for a 10% racers Discount Dave Trine and his family thank you

We ate at Choo Choo McGoos today. Good food and we walked out stuffed. Only complaint was only one wearing mask in there was one waitress, but it's been like that everywhere in Kokomo except Walmart even though there are signs saying it is required everywhere.
