PLEASE READ: About 10/25 of us wanted to race together, start time was 2pm. When we got to the room, one of the staff yelled at us to get out of the room. They were extremely rude and several of his friends were not able to join him. We spoke with one manager and he couldn’t do anything for us, only saying that we could wait (after paying $1,000+) until 4pm for only two other kids to race by themselves. The entire time, the head manager (in the pic) was chopping it up with whoever this is, over several hours never came to talk to us even once. With a group of about 25 people, and money spent, i would have hoped that ANYONE would have done something to make our experience better. Also, our kids went to mini golf and were kicked out of that area even though it was included. The only person who was helpful and accommodating was Zonathan. He was helpful and went above and beyond to take care of us. Apart from him, everyone here sucked.

We have been coming to Need 2 Speed for our football watch parties and we've had so much fun here. Great food, great service and all of the staff members are so nice, friendly and accomodating to guests. Our server today named Sara was especially friendly, courteous and overall amazing with our big crowd.

Been to Need for Speed both at old location + then recently visited the new location. Now it offers a variety of activities- gokart racing (2 story track), arcade games (a brief stretch/hall of games), mini golf, + bowling. PROS: ●ATMOSPHERE 5/5- environment nice + gorgeous compared to old location. They have abundant area for seating, including nice couches to watch the track from behind glasses, and ample by general food (I feel you can't see much watching as a track spectator-which is kinda normal but its still cool.the lights+the two stories make it a fun for those go karting. ●Limited noise- my husband and I recently checked out the new Dave and Busters and it was a disappointment (far too noisy/worse than any casino ive been in), smaller than expected+seating was limited to the food area. Here was a step up for me on an atmosphere level. ●Outside patio 5/5-corn holes, plentiful seating (fire pit), ping pong table, bowling pin area. I would say I like this area the most/it is the saving grace. Id argue to say I like it better than the outside of the Eddy.. if they added like jenga towers etc, maybe huge connect four. There is another bar just inside from where you exit to patio. CONS: ●OVERAL PRICE 2/5: Expensive fast. Arcade has limited selection+ feel the price makes me prefer going elsewhere for what it is. ●GAME SELECTION/PRIZE AREA 2/5: Redemption area is just okay/ehh for me not worth it but remember the main attraction is the gokarts. I ended up getting my son a FAR TOO NOISY light up sound sword+ a screaming chicken (1800 tickets spent) Several games were out of order/oddly glitched- the 50 ball drop machine only let my husband drop x amount of balls ( Somehow there wasn't all 50 to drop and then for 26ish seconds nothing could be done... ●RACE COST: I believe each race cost $32 a person (14 lap), but because this was a company event, I cant speak what deals they offer for groups. 2 story is nice, but FOR ME, not $32 nice. I tried it out but don't think I'll be back for $32. Keep in mind compared to Coconut Bowl these go karts are high grade AND faster but 1/3rd of $100 for ONE RACE? If you are a gokart junkie, take a look but they are FAR stricter on the rules than prior location so dont be caught drifting bumping into each other, refusing to let others pass etc. Placing is based off top lap time. ●Mini Golf:(DID NOT TRY). Not sure if worth $12 for 9 holes. ●FOOD 3/5: Decently good mashed potatoes, breaded chicken topped with cheese, + balsamic with tomatoes was good. I'd AVOID the tritip (especially as a group cateering option). They did a decent job at keeping it stocked, warmth on food wasnt HORRIBLE- neither cold nor hot.. but the meat was a disappointment. 3/5 stars because Id think maybe NON large group events can be better. Tritip was tough+ chewy, flavorless (only tried like 1 piece). By the end of the night, I heard that no one had good things to say about the tritip,+ it was tearing people up (abdominal cramping, nausea, unpleasant gas?). I thought this was more of a laughing joking matter over it BUT I do think theres more to it as a good chunk of us started having experiences by the end of the night. Was typing this as I am experiencing stomach upset- cramping, and lower grade nausea from what I assume HAD TO BE the meat. As gen Zs would say.. the food we had was mid BUT the chicken was the saving grace. ●SUMMARY 3-3.5/5: In the end, come here at least once if you want to check out the karts- form your own verdict on the other amusement aspects. For people who truly love go carts/more of a drifting experience, I hear people Like Carson Raceway+ can actually drift if desired on circumstances. (Haven't gone). However if you have a big family itll be a pricey night. Looking for all over experience/fun- bowling, arcade, axe throwing, VR..etc.. check out GSR if you haven't -offers more options (-gokart) and what may be better bang for your buck for amusement. Coconut bowl is also continually high demand by the younger generations but the Jungle Karts are slower.

So far...not pumped about how I was treated on the phone. Hopefully, I will be changing this review after my kids race. Still going to check it out, however, if we are at the desk, and are treated the way I was on the phone ... Well... we'll see. I really hope to erase this review in a couple hours! //Update. The desk folks were nice. The race kids were great! The racing was fun! While we were racing...most of the time we were red flags on the laps, meaning, they shut our karts off, because one person in the race really liked slamming in to the walls. Maybe if we had a different group it would have been more fun. However, we didn't and it was less fun. After mentioning it...we got an, "okay". That's all. We had fun, when we were having fun.

Everyone was super friendly and attentive. Pamela helped us while we were bowling and was especially kind and helpful. The woman who checked us in was also informative and awesome. The arcade, bowling, and go-kart racing were great. We definitely had a lot of fun.
