   The marketing for here is much better than it actually was. The service was not great at all, just a lot of sitting around and waiting for someone to come by. I was really hoping that the food was going to be great, but it wasn't, similar to Chilis. I was also really hoping it was more of an experience, and it wasn't BAD, because it was a cool setup and looks fun, but if you are sitting at a normal table its just like eating anywhere else. We went for a birthday, so it was fine for a one time thing, but we wont be back. Was really hoping for more of an experience.

   This place was really cool. We had a great view of the cars while we ate. The food was excellent. We ordered the waygu burger, brisket grilled cheese, and breakfast tacos. I had the Chrome drink, it's pink, sweet, and quite good. After we ate we went down and toured the cars. My husband and son loved this the most. It's a nice experience for those that love good food and cars. And the service was outstanding as well. Everyone we encountered was great.

   Ambiance, service, and cars were great! I would not recommend eating at the restaurant. Shrimp and grits were tomato based with steamed shrimp. Grilled chicken salad resembled a bag of Walmart Caesar Salad with a microwaved frozen Tyson chicken breast. Sausage gravy biscuit was disappointing as it resembled 3 tablespoons of gravy with one sausage patty crumbled on top. We could not taste the jalapeño in the jalapeño cheddar biscuits. The alcohol was not up to par. The chicken and waffles were much like what you would get from a hotel free breakfast. The bacon was good but overpriced. The spinach artichoke, tortillas, potato wedges, and nachos (all appetizers) were good. The best meal was the brisket grilled cheese. When ordering soda, you receive a can drink. Overall, the ambiance and customer service were great! We truly enjoyed a tour of the cars at the end of our brunch; but $15 per person is a little steep. In the end, it was an experience… It’s one that I would not do again or recommend unless the food was changed. It was such a disappointment to the entire beautiful atmosphere. It was like going to the Hilton and being served a Super 8 Motel breakfast. Also, the presentation of the food was amazing so looks are deceiving. If their food was upgraded, I (we) would definitely return for other engagements! We had a party of 15 and our bill was a little over $700. Price was great but not worth it overall because we ate at Texas Roadhouse afterwards.

   I think due to people over hyping it on Tik Tok I had diff expectations for it , and was disappointed that we aren’t able to see the cars without a membership. Or access to what they had to offer without a membership. But our server was great, and the host were sweet. I enjoyed my pasta. My boyfriend didn’t really like the fish from his fish and shrimp. Said it was too greasy. All in all, don’t expect too much hype if you don’t have a membership.

   Horrible service and food. Rather than do better, they discounted the bill. Not just for us but most of the tables. Ultimately, it should've all been comped. They ran out of 3 of the 5 orders requested, and we even had to get our own water. Food finally came out after over an hour wait time. It seems they prioritized a private party leaving regular tables with subpar service. They really need to do better. It was highly disappointing.

    My son really loves cars so I thought this place would be perfect for his birthday. I was completely let down. The server was nice at first but he was bartending and waiting tables. He clearly had too much on his plate and it showed with the service. We told him 3 times my mom did not want shrimp on her plate and the plate came with shrimp on it. If she had an allergy to shrimp this would have been a huge problem! He said it’s too late to fix it now so here’s 20% off your next visit! Completely unprofessional! I told him it was my son’s birthday so they can bring a cake for him at the beginning. Another server brought the cake and said to my son “oh it’s your birthday I should have put a candle oh well yall can sing happy birthday.” Completely blew it off. I won’t recommend this place.
