    Outside patio area

    Ambiance was great and the Margaritas were even better! I wish I would have known this place was here two weeks ago because I had no idea. This place was as interesting and huge on the inside. it looks like a little dive bar on the outside so I kept driving until the next day when my friends said they had a really fun place to go to and it ended up being the same place.I drove by. I guess you can't touch a book by its cover!

    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!

    Pet friendly

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    This was the second best meal I have ever had. (The best was at Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris in…read moreVegas.) The service was friendly and everyone was always on top of things like water refills, bringing out food and checking to make sure everything was to my liking. I ordered the Caesar Salad, 8 oz Filet Mignon and the Baked Potato. The Caesar Salad was the best I've ever had with the included roasted tomatoes being just the touch to tip the scales. The baked potato was a good sized potato with the butter, sour cream, green onions and bacon brought out on a separate plate so you can dress it to your liking. Now, to the filet mignon which I ordered medium well. For one of the very few times in my life, the steak came out having been cooked to perfection and with a roasted jalapeno as a garnishment on the side. The steak was juicy and oh so tender without even a hint of fat or gristle. Now, let me just say, I love steak but I usually need steak sauce to make it a little more flavorful or juicy. This steak was so good that on my first bite I decided the steak sauce actually ruined it and the steak was delicious on its own. However, I did cut up the jalapeno and mixed it in with my bites of steak, and it added an amazing extra kick to the natural flavors of the meat. Although my meal was comped by the casino, I now know that the meal is worth every cent of what they are charging, and I will happily make the 45 mile drive to indulge in the meal again. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. A++++++

    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.

    3 star pizza, 5 star calzone…read more My daughter and I were craving deep dish and decided to give Vero's a try. It was our first time visiting. The crust was nice and the bacon was delicious, thick cut, and crispy. That said, the pizza looked a bit thrown together and the sausage tasted underdone, which was surprising considering it took nearly 45 minutes to prep and cook. My son ordered a calzone and was audibly demolishing it. It was very large and he said it tasted great, so that was a plus. Our intention was to dine in and enjoy our meal there, but the very limited seating and the fact that the table is positioned right in front of the register made it feel awkward. We ultimately took our food home to eat. I would not consider this a dine in restaurant. It feels more like a pickup and takeout focused spot. It is definitely on the expensive side. It was about $60 for one pizza and one calzone. Both items were priced as cheese only, so each topping was charged separately. $3 for sausage, $3 for bacon, $2.50 for spinach, etc. The total came out to $37 for the pizza and $19 for the calzone before tax and tip. We might give it another try, but it is unlikely.

They have a couple small dining tables in the lobby area, which are convenient to sit out while you wait or if you want to dine there while your pizza is still hot. The staff is great. They are always friendly and helpful. They know me well enough to give me ranch dressing, which is fabulous. I love their onion rings with the honey mustard, dipping sauce. I know it sounds odd, but the combination together, is just great. I would've never thought to put those two items together. I have never been disappointed by their pizza. It is always top-notch. Vero's does not skimp on ingredients. MY PIZZA always weighs about 10 pounds or more. I have always picked up my pizza and it has always been hot and fresh when I get home which is another plus. They do have some summer specials left until the end of the month. Check it out on their website.
