Fun place to race for kids or adults!There was a kids birthday party there with pizza, drinks and other food and snacks available. For the adults it has a room with a bar. Good place to challenge your friends!

If I could give it a zero I would! Paid 400$ to have a birthday party here, food was supposed to be out at 4:30 didn t come out till 5:05 racing was supposed to be 4 laps 15 minutes each the last two laps were 6 and 12 minutes. Very disrespectful owner when brought something up! Definitely would not recommend this place and would recommend to go to another place! Racing was supposed to be after we eat but they made it the same time as the racing which screwed us out of the racing!

Took my youngest there for his birthday and the staff was very friendly. Had a warm, family atmosphere there and he had a great time.

I booked a party here for my husband s birthday, there was only 20 of us, small group. Reservations over the phone went great, they were very accommodating! It wasn t until the day of our party we realized what a mistake we made booking with them! The place is dirty! The owner (guy) & his daughter are SO incredibly rude! I had a few issues I brought to there attention and the man got in my face (I m a female) & hollard at me in front of everyone & took no accountability for all the mistakes made on there behalf. We were told to arrive at 4-4:15. We would eat at 4:30 & would start racing around 5 or a little before. We never ate until 5:05. Races started around 4:55 and we were shorted roughly 20 min of race time on the track. We only got to race for 40 min when promised an hour but was told we waisted time by eating because THEY messed up the time & set buffet up late. Very rushy experience! The brakes on the carts did not work, they messed up timing for everything, did not have coffee because it was broke, and if you want a drink at the bar you waited a good 20-25 min because they are short staffed . Mind you we were the only people in there! None of us enjoyed ourselves & I wish I would have takin my money to another more friendly & accommodating place. Learned our lessons & will definitely never be back!

My daughter had a birthday party for my grandson .kids and their parents, other guests had fun driving around the track . I didn't care for the pizza was just plain cheese because of the price . The one girl served pitchers of water from the faucet they have hard water soit smelled and tasted bad .The kids that tried it spit it out .Then the owner found out and made them change the water to bottled water .Told the girl she knew better ,no tap water to be served to people only bottled water.People seemed to be having fun. I didn't care for the taste of the cup cakes and the black frosting made a big mess on everyone that ate it .

Little indoor go-cart track easy to miss in passing. Had a fun time at decent cost racing with five of my friends. They've also got refreshments available. Call and schedule a time to go!

Place was great for the party that was held, but the rotten egg smell of the soda was a bit much to handle. When asked they said it was the machine that the soda came out of. I thought maybe the ice and the cups from being washed with what I figured to be well water. I was able to purchase a bottle of soda so it was kind of a solution. The kids had a ball with driving the go karts and everyone had a really good time. My advice don't by soda by the pitcher.

I've been living in the area for 3 years now wish I had gone sooner. The owner and staff are very friendly and awesome people. The best track I've ever experienced and the food was great and reasonably priced. Great for the whole family or just the guys hanging out.

Amazing food! We go there just for the food, we don t even ride the go-karts. The burgers and pulled pork are our favorites. The staff is amazing and super friendly! Frankie is actually the best.Who would have thought!

They are a great place to go for indoor activities and parties. They have made there prices reasonable and hopefully do some specials with food side of things.The track is small but fun to enjoy for a night out. They have a league that might be work checking out also. They have also added outside things that I haven't had the pleasure of trying yet.

I have yet to enjoy their racetrack however, the burgers at this joint need to be at everyone's go to list. The burgers here are well made, juicy, and taste amazing. If your down for a big meal, ask about the Moose.

Great place to blow off some adrenaline. In the area for a lake vacation, there is no other place to consider for the kids to go and just let it out. They may get a little bit of the grit but what kid hasn't. Support your local business and ride. Your kids will love it!

Ordered food for a wedding paid a lot of $ to have them stay to serve and box up extra left over food I paid for 90 then called them they told my sister not to worry if u have a few more than 90 there is always extra food so they bring the food she charges my husband for an extra 10 people which was not discussed. At all when it was time for them to leave she told my sister there was very little food left over we only had like 80 people I was not happy I went over to her said I want all my food left then she came up with some extra it was in her truck. The food was not even good the chicken was dried out like it was used before and not one piece of white meat all legs and thighs meatballs were frozen the potatoes salad the mao was broken like it had been frozen and reused I paid $. 2000 for food that was not good at all then she didn t leave what was mine beware to book any weddings or party s

(A hidden GEM) It was a rather cold night at 14 degrees and after a long day at work, I asked her to try a new place for Italian food. We have 4 places in the area that we rotate between but, we wanted something new. We ordered, with her getting a mushroom calzone and me getting the lasagna with salad and two meatballs. Hold on folks! Out of the park slamming good food. The flavor, the depth and love in the food was discernible and absolutely delectable. I can t wait to go back and try the chicken parmigiana. I would really like to try their catering too. Another surprising point to emphasize was the more than reasonable cost of our dinner. OK, enough! Go there and tell them, some Guy sent you Enjoy the taste of LOVE.We went back and this time it was another salad, chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana and as alway, add two meatball s. I said enough above and this was another hit out of the park! Enjoy! I added some pictures.It was the night of a snow storm which had just began and a really nice comforting meal is what we got. Gigantic chicken wings, chicken tenders, a meatball, onion, black olive calzone and my friend had the eggplant parmigiana. Just look at those 12 hot wings! The tenders were more than she could eat. Everything was wonderful! You have to check them out . Added more pictures. Enjoy!

Great food and fun go cart course. I felt like I was playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii, but in real life. My only compliant is when I threw a banana peal on the course, it did not make my friend spin out.

Nice place to have fun but they need to upgrade their go carts. The older guy was a little rude when all the children got a little loud from opening presents. Besides that it was super fun. This place is a little pricey though

On Father's Day weekend- the children and I surprised daddy with a race night!!! Let me tell you these kids (10, 7, 3) were out for blood. That's something they definitely all get from their daddy and racing is for sure in all their blood! We ALL had such a great time, we will most definitely be back again, hopefully many times!
