    Normally I give this place 5 star but tonight we walked in and was seated towards the back. No menus were given to us as we were seated. We waited over 10 minutes without being acknowledged so started to get up to leave. Just as we were walking away our server came over. We told her we were leaving because we sat there over 10 minutes without an acknowledgment. The owner was sitting to the right of us, he looked up from his phone as we were telling the server we were leaving, he didn't say a thing, I would of thought he'd at least address it while we were there but never said a word. Also while we were waiting another group came in and as they were seated they were handed menus instantly, we didn't even get that.

    We had really great service. Love that there are separated dining area and bar areas. And the walk decor is awesome! We really enjoyed the menu options. Although they are famous for their pizzas, we tried the chicken flatbread, wings and meatballs. The sweet potato fries were good but advertised with a spicy seasoning, which was lighter than we were expecting. Wings were good. We love the meatballs and sauce and the flatbread was our favorite! We will be back.

    not much to look at but boy did it taste yummy!

    This is a little gem in Maricopa. A little of a drive down to Papago but it's worth it if you visiting family or friends out this way. You will get to see all the farm fields and whatnot. Staff is a bit stretched but the food is stellar. I've been here a handful of times and I think you could even bring your grandparents to this place for some of the classic history, even though it has the bar / biker look. Would visit again.

    We keep going back to Raceway Bar and Grill, almost on a weekly basis! It's become our new hangout! This past Saturday we came with a license plate in hand to donate to the owners to put up on the wall! It was an Alice Cooper Arizona plate, which they said they did not yet have! The owner actually came over to our table and chatted with us and thanked us profusely for the plate! Also, the food was fantastic as always. This time I had the green chile cheeseburger with fries and hubby had the garden salad with vinaigrette dressing. We also shared a bowl of cabbage soup, which was the BOMB! Yum-O, and so warming in the almost-Fall! Also, because we brought in a license plate, we got a free dessert! So we went with the cheesecake with raspberry sauce. OMG! Everything so tasty! We have never had anything sub-par to eat here! LOVE this place!

    We came on the Saturday before St. Patrick's day so there was a bagpiper playing. It was nice when he was across the restaurant but it was just so loud when he was within 20 ft of you. Also they seemed very busy but the staff seemed to handle the tables well. We got pizza, wings and fried pickle spears. BBQ wings were perfect bar food. Pickle spears were good but definitely have to eat with knife and fork. The breading falls off completely after one bite. Pizza was crispy thin crust with just the right amount of sauce and toppings. Must have if you like crispy thin crust pizza!

    This is a pizza box

    Last night must have been a bad night for our waitress (T). I specifically asked fir my salad first, her reply "no problem". We'll she forgot. She neverbcame back to fill our drinks or ask if we needed anything. We got her attention long enough to ask for a box for leftover Pizza. As the photos show, we were given this small cardboard box which required us to stack our pieces on top of each other, making a sticky mess. Hopeful it was abbad night.

    We were absolutely blown away by the hospitality, service, and the wonderful patrons at this establishment. Passing through town I looked this place up randomly on Yelp. And we decided to stop by because we read it was pet friendly everyone patronizing the establishment was absolutely amazing. The staff was super friendly and we had an amazing pizza. It was just so much fun to walk around the grounds and see all the amazing treasures that the owner has collected over the years. Once the pizza came? It was pretty darn good too. We powered through that in no time at all. And they even made a hamburger patty for our dog Piper. I will definitely be back to this place again in the future. If you're in town, it's absolutely a must.

    Ricotta & Tomato Flatbread pizza with Coca-Cola

    We were immediately sat down by our awesome server Micheal M., and he was just great overall. He was quick with the refills on drinks, the food when it came out was cooked perfectly, and it felt like the perfect portion. It was admittedly pretty loud but that was partially because it is a Friday night and there was a little graduation party. Besides the noise level we honestly had a great time. Thank you again to Micheal for making our night great!

    Meatball sub
    Lindsey F.

    Raceway never disappoints! Great food, fun atmosphere, really good service (Brianna was awesome!). This time we brought our puppy and enjoyed their awesome patio with the heater turned. Their pizza is always good, but we finally found our perfect combo- cherries, jalapeños, pepperoni, and garlic. Delicious! And the meatball sub the next day... just wow. High quality and fantastic. If the owner, Rand, suggests something- trust him!

    Mmmm cowboy pizza
    Lisa R.

    Perfect spot to get cooled down, grab a beer and shot and a pizza. Good vibe, friendly bartender and the pizza is good. Would recommend.

    Here's 2/3 pepperoni from the large I ordered. What a shame.

    I just ordered a large pepperoni pizza to go and got home to three pepperonis. Seriously! I use to love raceway pizza for their friendly staff and great pizza. The older lady in the front register said one moment. I guess whatever on the register was more important. But when she finished immediately walked off and left me hanging there to be helped by another employee who was great. Don't know what her problem was but she didn't bother to assist me in any way. I tipped the other employee that services me so I hope she gets it. But the pizza. The pizza was horrible! Even with the three pepperonis. I hope they fix this because I used to always recommend....

    This gem of a restaurant is absolutely fantastic…read more It's a little difficult to get to if you don't know the directions, but it's in an old-timey building that was once a consignment store. It's cool though because it's rustic while providing outdoor seating both upstairs and downstairs. This place kind of looks like a barn but in a very vintage, very cool way. The space within is open and comfortable; tables are reasonably distanced from each other, there's a stage with a drum set and mic for live music, and country themed string lights wrapped around the stair rails and upstairs banisters. Country music plays in the background and on the TVs above the stage while sports play on other screens across the restaurant. Shelby was very nice. When we initially arrived, she was the only server, so her manager stepped in to take our orders and help. I love this because more managers should be hands on and help their employees. I can't speak for the drink menu while I'm sober, but the food is as roadhouse as you get, but in a great way that isn't generic. You can taste the smoky flavor in the sliders from the sampler and even in the baseball sirloin. The meat is very tender. Even the chicken in the sampler was moist and tender. The cowboy bites were addictive with cheesy goodness and mushroom juice exploding on your tongue. Not a fan of the asparagus, which I felt was bland and overcooked, but asparagus is very difficult to get right, even among experienced cooks. The potatoes had too much garlic, but my husband liked them, so I guess that comes down to subjectivity. He loved the ribs. Excellent service and food for a moderate price. The steaks can get up there in price, so be prepared to dig a little deep, but everything is appropriately priced for what you're receiving. On our way out, a server greeted a pair of customers with genuine excitement: "Oh you're back!" And they told her they returned because of her. I think more people should understand that customers get attached to servers. So good service matters for more than a review or requirement. It makes people feel good, and it makes the servers feel good too when the service is genuine. I am inclined to agree. Everything about this restaurant was excellent.

    We split the hummus trio (4.25/5), and I got the Grilled Chimichurri Chicken (3.5/5).

The side salad that came with the main was fine (3.5/5). The chicken itself was pretty good (4.25/5); the chimichurri added an excellent flavor. However, the vegetables were clearly frozen (2/5). The service was very slow (2/5); we waited quite a while to order and to get our appetizers and mains. Also, our drinks were empty for most of the time. The ambiance is ok (3/5), but it's a little loud inside.

    Where do I start! Disappointment is an understatement! We definitely were not welcomed! No…read moreexaggeration included! For starters, the seat yourself arrangement is the most uncomfortable arrangement in the city. You stand at the front door with other hungry patrons literally hovering over already occupied tables trying not to stare while patiently waiting for them to finish. This is unavoidable since there's nothing else to look at while waiting. Uncomfortable for those eating and those waiting. Lol, The hungry will always win the staring contest. Gives off the vibes of being rushed or rushing those seated. Get a number system or incorporate some other form of notifying waiting guest that can comfortably wait "outside" considering the minimal amount of space. Once a table came available we begin seating our kids when the grumpy busboy says " I usually don't let people sit while I'm wiping the table". Which we completely understood and apologized but felt the need to quickly make our way to an open table before the other surrounding groups did since theres no way to tell who arrived first. Granted, we watched him clean the table once but decided to make a second pass. Not too big of a deal but there's more. Once seated with drinks we watched the group(s) behind us finally get seated and thats when the hospitality true feeling of our presence began to show. After finishing a cup of coffee we watched the family ahead of us get there plates, start smacking on the country fried steak, licking the gravey running down the side of their arms and an abundance of refills of coffee for every table except ours. We are now 45 min in watching this atrocity take place next to us while our stomachs touch our backs. At this point we're debating on paying for the drinks and leaving. From the time we received our drinks, the family ahead of us were not only served but finished eating and now chatting it up. We're pretty patient people and understand that eating out during peak hours will take time, but with that being said, taking time doesn't mean that the group in front of you can be fed and finish along with the groups 10 min behind you placing order, getting refilled coffee AND receiving their plates before our second cup of coffee let alone a plate or apology for the delay is cool. Nope, 1 hr + in and we just kept getting ignored. Made eye contact with the gentleman taking orders with the mobile register and the heavy set waitress skipping out on the coffee refills and both quickly looked away. It wasn't until the grumpy busboy saw us and asked if we needed anything. At that point I thought he was being sarcastic but he actually slightly redeemed himself by taking care of the 2nd cup of coffee. We took two sips and decided enough was enough. I made my way to the register to let the busboy (hate calling him that but I didn't get a name) know that we will just pay for our drinks and exit stage left. He apologized and told me not to worry about the drinks and we left. In short (sarcasm here) Thank you Headquarters for providing a teachable moment for my kids and shout out to Deny's for unknowingly recovering this fumble. SMH! I'll just continue to keep passing by this place without hesitation. Never thought I'd say this about any establishment because we all have bad days but I would give a zero if I could. Unfortunate for sure because it smelled really good, it was the service that stunk!

    Hear me out, if you're looking for hip and trendy you're not going to find that here. At…read moreHeadquarters you're getting a classic diner feel and amazing delicious food!!
