A friend and I were driving through mid-week and were looking for an interesting place to stop and have dinner. Pit Road Bar & Grill was suggested, and so we stopped. I heard right before I arrived that this had been features in Triple D, which should give a pretty solid indication of the food quality. It turns out Pit Road is inside/adjacent to the Victory Lap Carting business, maybe co-owned, doesn't matter, but the restaurant's site is on the front side of a large industrial building. Just a head's up in case you think you're lost, you're not! It has easy access from the freeway. Anyway, It being a Tuesday evening, the place was dead when we arrived. We sat at the bar and ordered a couple of sandwiches from the girl (Paige) who was watching the place. She was super nice, chatty, and never more than 3-4 steps away. Can't say enough about the service. Even later, when more people came in to buy beers, it became obvious to me that she had been there and knew some of the regulars. That's a good sign! I ordered a Pit Stop burger and onion rings. The burger patty itself was big, nicely seasoned and cooked just right. Generally a very good burger with all the right stuff on it. The onion rings were house made, and while they tasted alright, they were extremely oily. My friend had a philly cheesesteak and onion rings. He said the sandwich was dry. I didn't taste it. Meh. Overall, they have what looks like a decent place and a good menu. There are some other things listed that I want to try, particularly the wings, so maybe the next time I'm driving through, I'll stop in and see what's up. read more

Wow this place is fun! When you pull in, it totally looks like an area where you should not be. But once you turn the corner you see that it just seems like the building was built backwards. The place has a go-kart track, axe throwing, escape rooms and a restaurant. We went here because it's a DDD and Guy Fieri visited here. The service was not great or friendly as no one greeted us or told us what to do. You sit yourself and wait, realize that no one is coming to wait on you and then wander to the bar where you order your food and drinks. They will bring it to you once ready tho. I ordered the egg rolls and potato skins and both were amazing! Bf ordered the shredded chicken sandwich called the hot lap. He said it was really good but salty. You can sit right by the track and watch people drive incorrectly lol. It was a fun time! read more

Paige was our server for today. We came with a small group for our friends birthday party. The bar and grill was not busy at all, but you would have thought that it was packed and overwhelming. Paige service was extremely biased and horrible. Very unprofessional and rude. Everyone was patient, but it seems as if she picked and choose who she wanted to serve at any given moment, not paying attention to how long people were there, but just picking and choosing. Even if someone said I'm next or if someone allowed someone to order she still ignored them. Me Being a bartender, this completely tore my nerves up. read more

Introduced to this place via a coworker and it's good solid eats. I often find myself craving their Buffalo chicken wings here. They are big with a punch of flavor but not drenched in a Buffalo sauce. Their version of potato skins here are delicious as well. BBQ sauce, meat and cheese - need I say more? The kids menu is lacking a little expensive. $7 for a tiny ass pizza. I was better off ordering off the regular menu for my son. Call ahead for easy pick up orders. With Covid, they have closed some seating but there is ample Space between all the seatings. If you want to sit and eat, they have a bar and an ample amount of local beer. They have a virtual game machine and an axe throwing area. read more

Welcome to Flavor town! I was on a road trip and looked for places featured on triple d and found the "Pit Road Bar & Grill. This place totally exceeded my expectations. There is an arcade and go kart tracks (which people take very seriously, so maybe not the best tracks if you are a beginner). I ordered the bacon cheeseburger which is incredible. It had a lot of bacon on it, but everything else on the burger had a perfect ratio with the other ingredients. The Redneck Taters made me like pork. They were like a baked potato, but with pork on it, topped with incredible sauces. You can't screw up Caesar Salad but you can definitely make it better. The Caesar Salad wasn't drowned in dressing, nor barley seasoned with it. The Pit Road Bar & Grill sure know how to make food. The atmosphere here is wonderful, and I hope I can come here again. read more

Food was tasty, service was prompt. Not much else to say, would recommend especially if you are already going to play the arcade games or go kart :] read more

Excellent customer service, Mike was awesome. Event craft beer list, wines and full bar. Food was delicious, daughter's friend said best chicken tenders and ranch sauce. Great place to hang while your teen and friends hang out and place arcade games and race go-karts. They also have bowling and bazooka ball. read more

Im his was not a freestanding restaurant. It was inside a indoor go cart establishment. So I can't give it any stars just an FYI

Since I was not familar with this area and the place is on the backside of some warehouses, I almost dud a U-turn to head down the road a little more. But I did catch the sign as I was about to leave it in the dust and pulled around to the back. First of all the Pit Road is inside Victory Lane Karting---which is huge. I so wanted to do some racing against those kids but I had a schedule. I went basic with the cheesburger and it was verry yummy. There are giant glass windows to watch the races or you can just sit there and watch a game on TV. Yep, may have to venture back on my next trip since it's not too far off the highway. read more

I think this concept is really neat - let the kids ride go karts, and the grownups can watch, and enjoy food and some drinks at the bar. You don't come here for a top-notch meal, but you can still get pretty good food and drink. (Not many vegetables available, FYI!) I was interested in trying some of the main points from DDDs, which I did, and I'm not super impressed. The choices are unique, though, and I give them credit for that. Drinks are a little overpriced. They do have a full bar though, which is nice, as well as a few select wines. The moonpie sliders are actually pretty good. I was a little hestitant, though I love chocolate and I love burgers. I didn't really taste the candied bacon, though, which I think would have added a whole new element. They were a good appetizer, though. I tried the Concord for my main meal (From DDD). I was especially drawn in from the fig preserve spread, as I love figs, over the steak filet with blue cheese. This dish didn't do it for me. The steak was a little too hard and chewy, and the blue cheese crumbles just weren't working. I wouldn't order this again, sadly. The hot lap sandwich that my husband ordered seemed to be the more popular winner, with the shredded chicken and mozzerella cheese. This is a great laid back atmosphere to hang out, have a few drinks, and if you're crazy, try some go karts. read more

Just go !!! I'm in town for work from Loves Park IL and found this place tucked in behind the Pilot.. Greatest Bartenders and great food to boot. Yelp helped and didn't steer me astray, along with their other reviews you really can't go wrong.... Oh yeah, Go Karting to boot read more

Hard for me to leave a review other than this. After being asked if I needed a menu (and being handed one), no one came by to take my order - drinks or food - for going on 35 mins now. (Yes, I am writing this as I sit here.). I give up at this point so leaving. read more

Omg the food is fantastic and there is so much to do here. Highly enjoyable and a great place! Make sure you try the appetizers, the sliders are awesome, the wings very yummy! They were on guy fieri show diners, drive-ins and dives. Try the sandwiches that were on the show! Loved it read more

First, 5/5 on the food this visit. Hot lap Nachos and sandwich are my go too. Service 0/5. I really should have called the manager on this. We ordered 3 hot lap sandwiches and a cheeseburger as entrees. It CLEARLY states on the menu that "ALL sandwiches and burgers come with a side (French fries, tater tots.. Etc) and you can upgrade to a side salad for $1 of you are looking for a fresh green side. Btw the server asked how I like my chicken... Uh, fully cooked?! What kind of a question is that? He replied that oh some customers like their chicken crispy and burnt... I've never heard of this in my life. The server took our order and came back with just the sandwiches (and also messed up the additions on the cheeseburger but my friend was too nice to say anything) no sides. I love the seasoned fries here so I was pretty disappointed my entree was missing them. When I called the sever back and asked him for the included sides.. He told me it's only available on request....so I won't get the side included with the entree I paid for like the menu states because I didn't request it??? Wtf kind of policy is that? It's the sever's responsibility to know these things and ask which side I want. I'm not sure if it was his first day or he was a little off that day but I made him read the with me and he just said oh ok and asked who wanted fries. Uh, EVERYONE who got jipped out of their side! Why would I call you back and ask for just me?! So he finally brought us our fries, YUM. The hot lap sandwiches were also served on brioche instead of ciabatta like stated on the menu, I'm sure this was to save money. He also did not refill our water once, I had to go up to the bar and ask for water. But of course, he only refilled 2 out of the 4 glasses. When the check came around, he charged us $3.00 a piece for the fries that were already included with my entree. Needless to say we were furious. I had to come up to the bar and have him adjust it. He looked at me for a second and thought about putting up a fight but the look I my face was all he needed to turn around and comp the sides that were not supposed the be charged for. Seriously unacceptable. I feel like Pit Road's kitchen staff and servers are cutting corners to save what like 20 cents by not giving sides included with entrees and proper buns. That's cheap as fuck. I hope management isn't in cahoots with them. Pit road bar and grill, get your act together. read more

Awesome concept. Great facility and the restaurant has a great view of the racing. The food in the restaurant was as good as advertised. Not anything that will change your life but definitely better than your average bar food. read more

I can see why the Triple D went there. I was there last week and order the buger and I was extremely please. The quality of the meat was exceptional for a game centered facility. I can't wait to go back and order another Burger. My only complaint would be the coke was slightly flat simple fix the carbination to syrup ratio is off. read more

This place is awesome and you would never know something so amazing would be in an indoor kart track!

Plus they have giant jenga! I mean what else could you want?!? read more

They have a vast variety of legendary bar food and cold flowing adult beverages. Most of the barkeeps are friendly and easy to deal with. Chef Donnie is THE MAN! Cool to see Guy Fieri add PRBG to this list of his visited establishments on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. read more

Food was on point. Get the hot lap nachos. They are amazing. Also amazing beer selection that is eclectic and local. Also excellent staff and met the owner. Seems like he put a lot of work into this place. I'm from Chicago and driving from NC to GA. I don't write reviews but I wanted to write one because at first when I realized it was in a go cart place I almost didn't come, but I am glad I did... you will be too. read more

I had the "Hot Lap Sandwich", which was a (not too) spicy shredded chicken sandwich with a cilantro jalapeño crema, provolone cheese, on a brioche bun. I had the pub chips on the side. M'lady had the pulled pork. It too was fantastic. We got a double order of the pub chips for the long drive home. The service was excellent, the drink selections at the bar were abundant, and the facilities were clean. They also have indoor go-karts. read more

So I read the mixed reviews going in with "no expectations " as another reviewer posted. I went into this establishment and was greeted at the bar. The bartender gave me a menu and took my order. There were 4 or 5 people sitting at the bar. Turned out they were mostly employees. Because they were freely going behind the bar. Some of them were eating. I ordered a dozen wings and an order of fries. While I waited an employee who seemed to be the person in charge. He said to the bartender. " Can you throw in a batch of fries? " He went on to explain, " There's something wrong with the ranch, fries, or fryer oil." And said "There's something wrong with the food" That was my cue. I got up walked to the front door and explained to the girl that that's really not cool. And soo unprofessional. And was I to be a boob waiting to be sick? No thanks! Maybe someone else will find good things in here. Not me. read more

I like this place a lot, go-karts aside, this restaurant definitely stands alone as a great dining destination. Part of the charm is the awesome bartenders/waitstaff - all of the ladies are super nice. There's a a large selection of brew - gotta love seeing locals represented - plus a good-sized cocktail menu. I've tried the cheese sticks (love classics done well), nachos (nice spicy bite), redneck taters (basically bbq potato skins - yum!), and burgers (huge - only get the double if you dare) and have always been impressed. One note: you do need to place your order at the bar, but they will bring it out to your table once your meal is ready. Ambiance is good, there are 4 TVs over the bar, so sitting there or at one of the counters looking out over the track is your best bet, but there are a lot of additional tables if you have a larger group. They've got a couple of games to pass the time - 2 skee ball machines, 2 sets of cornhole, and a jenga-type game - plus the venue overlooks the track so you can watch the races and see live scores projected onto the wall (always fun to see how you stack up against the competition!). It would be nice if they added a few more arcade games for folks waiting on an order or between races. They do host a lot of corporate events, so if you're looking for a place to stage an event, or even if you only need a caterer, you know the food is sure to be good. All in all, it's a fun locale just north of uptown Charlotte, right off the I-77/I-85 intersection, and definitely worth a weeknight/weekend visit. read more

This place is awesome! A truly unique experience where you can get good food, go race your friends on their kart track, or take them to the bowling alley. Cool concept with super friendly staff. read more

What an awesome place. Guy F has not let us down yet. The Hot Lap and Concord sandwiches. Went in during a road trip. Dont think this is just some snack bar at a kart track people. We even got to talk to the chef and try some samples of other things, AWESOME. I just wish we were local, to be able to be here and try everything else on the menu. Kudos, sir. read more

So, so good. Hot lap was ridiculously awesome. Inventive, delicious fare in a great atmosphere. We went on a road trip so we didn't get to hang around and race... Maybe next time! read more

WOULDNT LET US RACE traveled from California to enjoy the fun things north carolina has to offer, thought it would be fun to go kart and have some dinner and drinks. Went in on a monday night was told it was a league night and we could not race. There was probably 10 prople in the whole place including employees. As a fellow business owner i would recommend trying to accomdate all customers. I dont feel it would have been hard to let some other costumers race between the league races. read more

Don't be fooled or intimidated by the factory type of building and business park, this place is great! I travel a lot for work and am always interested in finding hidden gems and this place qualifies. The hot lap sandwich is so good I ordered another one to go and eat at the airport. Not really all that spicy, just right. Staff, Dijuan at the bar, is really nice and accommodating and although it's a racetrack the facility is clean and nice. Don't miss this place! read more

It's all about the go-carting and not the food. Food was average at best. Service was lacking. One person behind the bar doing everything. She was nice but for the amount of people and tables, she should have had help. Also tables were not clean. I had the specialty chicken sandwich and it was over cooked. Disappointing to see endorsement by Food Network. read more

We came in from out of town to check them out. It wasn't busy at all. No one greeted us or acknowledged our presence. We sat at the table for over 20 minutes. We left. Never going back! read more

Stopped by here after seeing Guy Fieri's episode featuring Charlotte. I tried the Hot Lap sandwich. I was expecting a little more flavor altering seeing it made on the show. It was ok, a solid 3 out of five. The dining area is dark, yet does provide a place to watch the karts go around the track. read more

Hubby and I decided to stop by on our way through NC. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the hot lap sandwich. Great flavors. Could really taste the smoke in the pulled pork sandwich. Fries were run of the mill. Prices are fair. Went early on a Saturday afternoon. Hardly anyone in the place. Decor is neat. Pool table and skeeball in the restaurant. Watch the racers from your table. Would go back if I lived close. Might dream of the hot lap sandwich. read more

Fantastic place with great service. Food is great and affordable. The burgers are juicy and the salad tasted fresh. Great atmosphere too!

Saw this place on "Diner's, Drive-ins and Dives", with Guy Fieri. I seriously think Guy Fieri smoked a large amount of marijuana before he ate at this shithole. First warning sign for me should have been the fact we were the only ones eating at 6:30 pm. We ordered the two sandwiches that he ate on the show, "Concord ", filet cubes on a ciabata roll with a mission fig paste and blue cheese crumble. The filet was undercooked but tender and the paste was too sweet. French fries were even undercooked. The second was the "Hot Lap" chicken sandwich. Also on a ciabata roll with a jalapeno crema sauce. Chicken was shredded, somewhat tender but the crema dressing was overpowering, very spicy, I like spicy but this was too much. We also ordered nachos, just terrible. Looked like they opened a bag of chips and threw it in the microwave with some cheese. Even the fountain drinks were flat and tasteless. To top it off, the waiter tried to overcharge us for our soft drinks that we didn't order. So, I deducted it from his tip. Just to make sure I glanced into the kitchen to see if the chef was the same one from the show and it was. Guy, I need to smoke the same stuff you do, it's obvious we didn't experience the same quality meal here, I don't think anyone else will either. Not only will we never eat here again, don't think I will be watching that stupid show again either. We had to go and get something else to eat at another location to get the taste out of our mouths. ******also, very important ****** I recommend bringing your concealed carry weapon just in case. The other crowd hanging out there didn't look too friendly. read more
