The Speedway Club

Had dinner with some colleagues here and was impressed with the experience. The food was very good. The restaurant itself was comfortable. The service was magnificent. And looking over the speedway was really cool.

After spending the day in Charlotte, strolling through the NASCAR Hall of Fame and sim racing, the Buffalo Wild Wings attached to the HoF was not cutting it for me. I have friends with more NASCAR memorabilia than that BDubs. I decided to try my luck with the Speedway Club. After all, as a single person, I would be happy eating at the bar or just enjoying a drink there. The host was so kind and made sure I got a seat with a view even without a reservation. The server allowed me to try a few of the wines I was curious about, as I was impressed by their collection, which even had some famous drivers/team owners own brands. As a big fan of RCR and with the steak I ordered, I knew the Childress blend was right for me. The steak was so tender and juicy and it was cooked and seasoned just right. The mushrooms and risotto added a perfect balance to the meal, which was tied up perfectly by the cake at the end of the meal. Portions here are not stingey and everything tasted great. I wish they had a racing-themed cocktail menu, but that's just my own dream, haha. The view is what you really come here for. There was a mustang out practicing while I enjoyed the complimentary bread, but otherwise the track was quiet. The Outlaws dirt track was holding finals that evening, so that must be why. I could definitely hear them racing across the street. All in all, great experience and I highly recommend it to race fans looking for a unique, upscale experience!

The food is delicious and the desserts are the best . I tried fried chicken green beans . The desserts taste homemade

Great place. We went on Valentine's Day sat at the bar until our reservation was ready. We had a great view of the race track. The drinks were good. Will at the bar was very attentive and Shawn was our waiter he was great he recommended a lot of the food we ordered and was spot on.

I have always enjoyed my dining experience at the Speedway Club. The scenic view really enhances the atmosphere and overall experience. The food is always good and the service is very attentive. This trip to the Speedway Club was to celebrate a birthday. The birthday boy was impressed and happy with the choice of venue. I ordered a 6oz filet mignon with a side of mac and cheese. I also ordered the red wine demi for an upcharge. The red wine demi added nothing to the steak. I wish I had not ordered it. The steak was good. The mac and cheese was okay. The dinner rolls were awesome. I tasted my son's blackened salmon. It was amazing. The lemon chicken breast was a good choice. I also tasted the side of Brussels sprouts. I wish I had ordered them! Our cocktails were really good. The bartender mixed the drinks strong. ALL of our drinks came out correctly. Our server was great at her job. We never wanted for anything. She was a big part of our special night. She was friendly and fun in addition to being good at serving. The service was 5 stars.

Food was outstanding. This wine and the horrible waitress service is why I am going it 2 stars. Not once were we asked if we liked our dinner. Had to ask for water. Had to ask for dirty plate to be removed. Table of 7 next to us was her only concern . The water flowed, the plates cleared ,wine poured , asked how everything was. To top if off.with the.garbage wine, she poured it away from us and brought it to the table. We were like, aren't you going to show us the bottle?The small tip we left was for the food runners .

The food and service was amazing. I'm not a huge NASCAR fan, but it was a pretty spectacular view. We actually visited during the Christmas season and the track was all lit up as a "Drive Thru Light Display"Would definitely recommend this place.

It was so bad it brought tears.First the positives: the setting is elegant. The views are amazing. Our reserved table was ready with water already poured. The food was good. Not great but good.Then, a disaster began to unfold.To the bartender- look up "martini" and study how to make and serve it and other drinks in a timely manner.To the manager- find out why the drinks and food take so long to come out and fix it. Keep tabs on your waitstaff. Do not cram your guests into tables in one corner, especially when one table is loud and rowdy.To the waitstaff - when you make mistakes, a sincere apology and/or explanation goes a long way. No attitude or back talk please. The guests are not present to please you, it's the other way around.A group of us came to celebrate a very special occasion and it ended in tears. The drinks came out sporadically and one was undrinkable. The replacement was undrinkable. We were pushed several times to order food before the drinks had all been served. If we had known how long it would take the food to come out we might have ordered sooner. Maybe bring some bread without us having to ask for more while we wait. Bring enough wine glasses for everyone so we don't have to pour out our water glasses. Finally, some of our food came; the guest of honor received his food 15 minutes after everyone else. The medium-rare steak was rare.The whole experience was an extreme disappointment. We agreed it was the worst service ever experienced in decades of eating out all over the world. I did not demand to see the manager or to get anything for free, I just wanted the evening to be nice and it wasn't. Yes, the manager did come around. I suppose he got only the part of the story about the late entree. By that time I was in tears and didn't want to discuss it or make a scene. I just wanted to go home. A price adjustment was made and complimentary desserts were offered (mine was grocery- store-quality red velvet cake,) and when the bill for hundreds of dollars came, there was not even a pen to sign it. A wet pen was found at the bar after wandering around for a while (used to stir drinks?) Except for the company of good and good-natured friends, the whole experience was painful. I made a mistake to select the Speedway Club.

Came here with my family tonight to celebrate a birthday, our reservation was for 11 and a toddler. The first red flag was that they split us up between two tables and when asked if we could move to one of the bigger tables to fit everyone, they told us that those tables are reserved (we were the only people in the restaurant, stayed until close, and no one sat at those tables once). The next red flag was how long it took us to get our drink and food order taken. When we finally did order our food, it didn't come out for almost an hour and a half (we got a bunch of steaks, which typically don't take THAT long). When the food did come out, not only were the fries cold, but three out of six steaks were well overcooked, and had to be sent back. After being sent back, it took another 40 minutes for the next steaks to come out. The server looked like she was sort of trying but I could tell she wasn't all there. I'm a server myself and tend to be very understanding and empathize with servers, but at the end of the day she had two tables and took 15 minutes to bring out a few sweet teas. However, at the end, she did help us out and give us a few discounts for the inconvenience, so that gets her some points back.Overall, not worth the price in any way shape or form.

Place is amazing. From venu, ambiance, food and service. 10 out of 10. Surf and turf Fridays is awesome. Prime rib and snow crab legs.
