    This was my first time at K1 Speed and I had an enjoyable experience. They only do walk ins for races which was my only gripe. However for two people on a Saturday around 1pm it was just about an hour wait which wasn't horrible. They have plenty of open seating in the arena and also have an arcade and food options for you to order while you wait or after your ride. Since it was only two of us we had our race with other people. The track has two levels which made it super fun! They give you a ski mask which is mandatory to wear and a helmet. Overall great experience and something different and fun to do.

    Loved K1 speed CC. I organized a party of 10 people for my birthday. It was roughly $90 a person, came with a private room, food, $10 arcade card for each person and a drink ticket. I don't remember how many laps we did but we had two separate rounds, due to the cars needing to charge and more groups had a chance to race. We had one person drop out the night before due to a car accident, and the manger Eric told us he couldn't refund the one person fee but I asked to have the fee transferred to a game card and he complied. We had a blast, staff were very friendly. I can't remember the clerks name, but she helped me get set up while my group was arriving. I want to say Aisha, but I could be wrong. Our food was available after our last round, though it took a little over 20 mins, it was freaking delicious! We got the brisket grilled cheese combo that came with two different wing flavors, we picked hot honey and lemon pepper, and Baby that lemon pepper was ! There is only one track so I do recommend reserving time. The more people the better. I think the max was 20 per group, or something like that. Also thank you Taylor Boyd for helping me with this reservation.

    We had an amazing first-time experience at K1 Speed! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. One team member Emiliano took the time to explain everything in detail, walked us through all of our options, and answered every question we had. Even when we were still undecided, his patience was truly extraordinary and never once made us feel rushed. Jesus, who was in charge of the karts, went above and beyond by helping us capture a special photo. We absolutely didn't expect that and we know it's not part of his job but it meant so much to us. We had family visiting from Australia, and since it was their very first time, that picture is now a really special and memorable moment for all of us. Overall, the experience was fun, smooth, and unforgettable. Huge thank you to the team for making our first visit such a great one. We will definitely be back!

    I had horrible experience this black guy with short Afro , kept bullying me saying if I'm driving slow I need to be on the edge and I did exactly that . to let other karts pass by . Im going fast just like everyone else. He kept trying to argue with me I was very uncomfortable my first time being there... I seen an Asian guy that works there kept bullying little kids. Screaming at them calling them stupid I felt overwhelmed and I will never come here again, I would never go back here again or recommend spending your money here by people that bully you when it's your first time PLEASE HIRE PEOPLE THAT HAS ENERGY? Happy to work there AND KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE talk to people without being disrespectful... and I wish I remember this guy name that fixed my helmet and explained to me how the go kart work he deserves raise he was nice and communicated very good !!

    Hosted a large event at this location and had an amazing time! The three guys helping at the track were super fun and helpful. You can tell they enjoy racing and made sure we were all safe. The track at this location is also by far my favorite track. There is a ramp that makes the track two-stories and the corners were very fun. I would definitely come again and choose this k1 speed location for its circuit!

    Absolutely Horrible Experience for My Son's Birthday If I could give zero stars, I would. We checked in ONLINE ahead of time, thinking that would streamline the process. Instead, we were told when we arrived that junior races had a 2.5-hour wait. Annoying, but it was a Friday, so we understood and came back exactly when they told us to. When we returned? Suddenly it was another two-hour wait. For what? A single kid racing completely alone on the track. And the worst part? The front desk staff acted like this was totally normal. No apology. No explanation. No attempt to make the situation right. No empathy whatsoever. Just a dismissive "it is what it is," as if wasting half a day on my son's 12th birthday was no big deal. The customer service here is honestly unacceptable. If you're going to run a business that requires reservations, time slots, or ANY kind of organization -- maybe actually honor them? Or at least communicate like you care. The attitude from the employees made it painfully clear that customer experience is not a priority here. We left frustrated, disappointed, and completely blown away by how poorly everything was handled. If this is how K1 chooses to operate, especially on a kid's birthday, then we'll gladly take our business -- and recommendations -- elsewhere. Do better.

    I would like to highlight the two team members at this location who went above and beyond to assist. Isela and Justin have the best customer service skills. Not only did they patiently explain the fully booked schedule, but they delivered the message with such poise. Thank you both for being warm and welcoming during this busy Saturday! From April & Bre

Everything is very clean, from the karts to the track, which shows great care in maintenance. The snack bar is a nice bonus for breaks between races. The staff are excellent, especially with kids--helpful, attentive, and focused on safety. Overall, it's a well-run, fun place I'd definitely return to.

    I gave this location (2) stars for the staff when you come in to register (they were helpful and…read morewelcoming) and because of my food (which took a while to order because the girl who took our orders seemed like she was not all there --for lack of better words-- she made the ordering process longer and difficult than it needed to be). The biggest issue was a staff around the track --this (1) girl in particular appeared to be having too much fun slowing certain go-karts down with her red remote, imo. But I'll get back to that in a sec. We decided to eat first: Food was okay-- ordered pepperoni pizza (they almost left it in too long and some of the crust was burnt. Had to break those pieces off and eat around it) and Pepsi in a bottle. My bro got sliders, wings, tots and Pepsi. His food took a while so we couldn't really eat together. Ended up sharing my food while we waited for his to come out -- which was weird since we were the only ones there who had ordered anything. When his food finally arrived he ate some of it and threw the rest away --guess he wasn't impressed. He mentioned it was "decent". Now to the races: Multiple people came and bumped me trying to get past me --never saw her slow their go-carts down but she definitely slowed down me and my bro multiple times when we were the ones getting bumped continuously. It got to the point where I just purposely stayed the last racer just to try and enjoy the experience and made no attempts to move up the ranks. Idk what the men's restroom looked like but the women's restroom had lots of gnats! Paper towels overflowing from the discard. Important to note: For as many staff as they had lollygaging around near the track you would think the place would be spotless. There weren't a whole lot of customer so definitely some staff could've been putting in some time and effort to clean around the place. Ultimately: We paid for (3) races. Ended up only using (2) mutually agreeing it was time to get outta there. Leaving the 3rd race on our accounts for another visit that we will be using at ANOTHER LOCATION. No I don't recommend and doubt I'd be returning. This review is reflective of my visit on 11/7/25 Duration of stay around 2hrs.

The service on the day was very disappointing. Often, we were unable to find our party host. The food was very delayed coming out despite my asking multiple times beforehand that it be delivered promptly. They do not provide any water to guests - part of the party package is one drink ticket per kid and the options are bottles of water, gatorade, or soda. You can imagine that every kid picked gatorade and was over-sugared and dehydrated. I asked for pitchers of water. The arcade is a room with about 10 games - only half of which work + all of which are filthy. They are very expensive. Our races started almost 30 minutes late. What should have been a fun party ended up being an extra hour long, and really expensive. I have not recommended this venue to friends.

Their own website clearly states to arrive at 6pm, with no mention of calling ahead, no reservation system, no waitlist. So that's exactly what we did. We arrived on time only to be turned away because the spots were already gone. Apparently there's an unwritten rule that regulars know to call ahead, information conveniently absent from their website. When we asked the general manager, Cameron, why this wasn't communicated anywhere publicly, her repeated response was essentially "we're popular", offered with the self-satisfaction of someone who sees no problem with the situation. No apology. No empathy. No acknowledgment that their website is actively misleading customers. Just a shrug and a reminder that this is "how you learn for next time." My son was in tears. What's most frustrating isn't the miscommunication, it's the attitude. A good manager finds a way to soften the blow, acknowledge the failure, and make a family feel heard. Cameron did none of that. When I pointed out that if calling ahead is policy, it should be stated publicly, she had no real answer, just more deflection about how popular they are. K1 may be too busy to care about losing one family's business, but we had been planning a birthday party there. That won't be happening. If you value clear communication and basic customer service, proceed with caution.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Due to an Uber address mix-up, we ended up at this location by mistake. Upon arriving near closing time, we just asked if we could come in for a drink as we believed this was a bar: After being told it was a private event, I calmly tried to explain our Uber mistake. Instead of handling the situation professionally, a female staff member completely lost her temper. She started screaming at us, talked to us terribly, and physically aggressed us and telling us to go away. Given the unprovoked hostility and the way she treated us, I strongly believe her behavior was racially motivated because we are not from America. She tried to physically attack us. Her actions were so completely out of line and unwarranted that even several guests from the private event came over to apologize to us for her deplorable conduct. No one should ever be subjected to discrimination, verbal abuse, or violence over a simple misunderstanding. I highly advise avoiding this place, customer service, safety, and basic respect are completely nonexistent here. To make matters worse, I didn't even say a word to provoke her, she completely misdirected her anger at us just because of other people standing nearby. Being targeted, screamed at, and pushed when you haven't done or said a single thing is completely unhinged. She literally screamed right in our faces: "Hell no! Get the fuck out of here!"
