Andretti Indoor Karting & Games

I’ve been to the Andretti in Roswell and can say I’ve been treated better there. The restaurant manager at the Marietta location needs a little more training regarding her position. Simply telling a customer «I can’t kick anyone out of their seat» is not the greatest of responses. That wasn’t even the question… where did that come from!!! Didn’t need that attitude or response from her. Wait times were insane, but so as not to ruin my son’s birthday, I went with the flow. Hopefully in due time, the Marietta location will improve on their customer service. Not too happy right now.

*Food based only. Building is new and clean. Sat at the main level bar. Too many children allowed to sit up at the bar! But the food is definitely not up to par. Almost inedible… Got a mound of nachos with cold clumps of unseasoned beef and chip crumbs for the bottom half. Boyfriend got chicken club sandwich in which the bun was so over toasted the top and bottom were rock hard and playfully drummed on the bar table. The bartender asked if our visibly picked on plates needed to go boxes and we all 3 kinda laughed. But he was super friendly. Probably will stick to Dave and busters just so I can have something to eat while playing tho.

its hard not to love this place. the go carts are awesome and indoors, the helmets are a bit heavy but still good. the dark ride was my fav. get a group and have a great time shooting zombies are aliens. The games are good selections and bowling seemed nice. The place was paid for by my company a good rate but going on my own better have a good groupon because its seems a little high priced.

This was my first time coming to Andretti’s, and I had so much fun!
FOOD & Drinks: The food was great, I loved the variety that they have. For lunch I had the grilled salmon with teriyaki sauce which was delicious but my favorite menu item had to be the Cowboy Stack, because I love sweet potato fries and that was my first time ever seeing them shaped like a waffle fry with such flavorful garnishing’s to go on top. The barbecue pork on them sent me through the roof. Afterwards I went to the bar and tried the «Pace Car» which was a rainbow colored drink and the bartender made sure I got plenty of alcohol in it.
THE GAMES: I played games like a kid that evening. I started off with the darkroom where I tried two separate games and both of them had me screaming with excitement. Afterwards I played a few arcade games, and went beast mode on the basketball goal. Later I played laser tag, And even though my team didn’t win, I still came in first place on our team. I also tried the race simulator, but that wasn’t as interesting as I thought it would be. Last but not lease, the race track. As fast as I was going I still suck when it came to cutting corners but it was an adrenaline rush anyways even though I didn’t come in first place I still brought my A-​game.
OVERALL: this is a great place for parties or meetings with your office, and there are so many things you can do. I had a great time and my coworkers did as well and we most definitely will be coming back on a regular basis for at least lunch, or catch a quick game of laser tag.

Went to Andretti’s with my coworkers after a long day at work… this place is 10, no I mean 100% better than any Dave and Busters or main event I’ve ever been too ! The food and the drinks were amazing and all the little games they had, exciting… I did everything with the exception of riding the go karts.
PS– If you don’t want to deal with the crowd, come during the weekdays

I had a pretty fun time here. The racing was really fun, and the laser tag was 2 stories so it was very cool too. There are a lot of pretty nice games, my favorite was the Jurassic Park one, and the Star Wars one as well. The staff all seemed very friendly and helpful, and the bathrooms were clean too. The food was pretty tasty, good drink options as well. I would come back here with friends or family for a fun time.

Clean new place, enjoying the nice new carpet and customer service is great so far!
Good food, average bar food nothing to write home about. The cowboy stacks were really good, plus the Italian slider was tasty.
Carts were very fast and fun to drive! The track is narrow and short but still fun, race time could be longer for the 20.00 bucks that it cost!
Laser tag was good, two stories, but only one ramp up which I did not like!

First time at Andretti Karting and it was a great experience! Staff is very friendly and there are tons of options to keep you entertained. We especially liked the 4D zombie shooting game… it was thrilling and a little scary at times! They also have laser tag, a bowling alley, and various arcade games. Some of my favorite classics… skee-​ball, basketball and air hockey. The actual karting was really fun too — could get pretty aggressive when people start bumping you (which isn’t allowed), but all in all it was a lot of fun. This place makes you feel like a kid again and is such a great alternative to the routine of going out to a bar or restaurant. And it’s a great workout too if you run around enough in laser tag!

What a fun spot! I love the new Marietta location. It offers several different activities than the one in Roswell. While it lacks a rock climbing wall, and zip lining, it does offer an arcade, bowling, racing simulators, a 7D laser arcade game that is out of this world, a two-​story laser tag, a sky walk ropes course, and two levels of karting for beginners and intermediate/​advanced drivers. There is also a great skyview bar that looks fantastic — a perfect place to watch sports live on one of their several flat screen TVs aligning the entire bar area, a restaurant, and meeting spaces. Not to mention the staff is amazing. With so much to do, I can’t wait to return and be a kid again!

This is an ‘entertainment complex’ and it had everything! There are multiple dining areas and TONS of games. There are huge TVs inside the bar and other areas in case you just want to *watch* the games.
I wasn’t pleasantly surprised by the menu selections. Usually the food is an afterthought at places like this but the menu was well-​planned and delicious. I had a little bit of everything — wings, sliders, etc. but my favorites were the Cowboy Stack and the apple cobbler which came in shot glasses.
I tried the Karting on Track 1 and it was a hoot. Note you have to sign up ahead of time to reserve a time/​track and be sure to keep the slip of paper with your name and time. There was very little wait and everything went smoothly. Though I suspect that might be because it was a weekday night. I would expect more of a crowd on the weekends.
There were a variety of arcade glasses from old favorites like air hockey and skeeball to newer ideas like Jurassic Park and alpine ski racing. There was something for everyone so I think this is a good choice for everyone from couples to families. And it’s definitely nice to have something out this way for OTPers such as myself.

Went there tonight and had a great time. The wings were really good and the games were a blast. The bartender was also very nice. Kellie did an amazing job hosting the event tonight. We had such a good time and would recommend people go try it out.

At first, I thought, «Where is Google maps taking me?» But it brought me right to it thankfully.
They had everything: bowling, two-​story laser tag, arcade, two bars, catered dinner and a full restaurant with booths, and the must-​do G-​force go-​karts that make your cheeks flap! No joke!
Remember to sign up for a race time as soon as you walk in. Then show up 5 minutes early to get your helmet on– yes, you’ll need a helmet– and don’t forget your pass & ticket with time stamp because you’ll need that to jump in a kart.
No bumping allowed but the grown man behind me still bumped me– knucklehead. Alright Mr. Testosterone, so what if I was holding up traffic and had the slow poke flag waved at me a couple times, ok maybe three times but that was one vicious tight turn! Luckily the drunks girls were in the next group– whew!
No worries though, Unilocal can help you find a good chiropractor. So of course you sign a waiver first. Gotta sign if you want to ride! Must be 16 and have a license to ride.
This high tech, 10,000 sq. ft. place is first class fun! Who knew they held team building events?! It’s beautiful with all brand new state-​of-​art sky bar with tons of big flat screens.
Andretti’s will make you feel like a big kid and remind you to have fun! It definitely added balance to my life after a long day at work. Staff was amazing; the place was well staffed and they made me feel important; like they appreciated my business. Gotta love it!
Plenty of pictures for Unilocalers.

Went here with my daughter to have lunch and watch all the NFL games on Sunday, only to walk in a realize this place had only one football game on and the manager couldn’t figure out how to put all the great brand new tv’s on the NFL games! We walked out and spent our money somewhere else! It’s a great new place, hope management can get it together!

Well, after some additional months into football season, the bar finally has a handle on their NFL Sunday ticket and was happy to change the channel to whatever game we asked for. They have a beautiful rooftop bar but it wasn’t open because it seems like most people do not know it is up there so they do not have the business. I hope to see more people using it because it really is a cool spot where you don’t have to listen to the loud track noise.
The food is really good and fresh. The kitchen is open so you can completely see the line and how they freshly prepare everything. They even have a HUGE Big Green Egg they smoke the meat on everyday!
Be patient as they are new and clearly still working on things. I hope this time next year to change this to 5 stars.

The Good: It’s clear a lot of money was spent on this facility. Quality games combined with a good balance of eating and drinking outlets. A lot of potential.
The Bad: Registering and scheduling to drive the karts is painful. The queue is messy and you don’t get the info you need on when slots are available on what tracks at what times until you get to the attendant.
The Ugly: Customer service. Of about a dozen staff I interacted with only two seemed to remotely care about service. At the bar I was totally ignored for about 10 minutes (note: bar was only 40% occupied) until an embarrassed staff member checked on us. At the ticket redemption store four employees seemed more interested in having a conversation than helping anyone. Many of the staff just seem to wander about.
The Result: We’ll try this place again but unless it improves we’ll likely drop it from our list of places.

This is one the worse run businesses I have come across! AVOID this place! Brought my niece here to do go cart racing. It was a nightmare experience. The sign in process is very confusing and no one is around to answer questions.
After buying tickets, the cashier didn’t tell us that we needed to be early for our race. We got there a few minutes early only to find out that our race had already started. So I asked the attendant about it and her reply was that «it was on our ticket!»
Poor customer service and an expensive money pit. Should have gone to Dave and Busters!
I wish I could have left no stars for this review!

Came here for an office outing and had a blast. We had a chance to bowl, play tons of arcade games, and race the karts. While the food didn’t really impress, it was sufficient. Even though there was obviously other groups there along with our pretty good sized group, the place never really felt crowded and the employees were knowledgeable and eager to assist in any manner. Looking forward to a return visit here in the future.

The two stars is just for the build out. The facility itself is just very well done. They clearly spent a good bit of cash renovating an empty Burlington Coat Factory, but unfortunately they don’t have the staffing right.
What was supposed to be a quick, alcoholic fueled meeting as we waited for a race or their zombie theater game turned into a two-​hour-​and-​forty minute endurance test as we were largely abandoned by our server for most of our stay. I get, there were 15 of us, most of us were on separate checks — which is a giant pain — but had she paid attention she could sold us a good bit of beer and alcohol, because that was what we were there to do. Instead, we were abandoned.
I realize this place only opened a month ago, and their opening was delayed several times, which makes it hard to train retain staff when you’re continually pushing back your opening date, and then open in November when most servers are wed to their job through the holidays. Still, their staff is just missing the mark. To get any information you had to find a staff member and question them. No one was forthcoming with greeting guests or with information. The night we were there, their F-​1 simulator — which is just a dumbed down version of rFactor — was buggy and they decided to close it. They let us wait in line for 30 minutes before letting us know that anything was wrong, and that they were probably going to shut down the line.
On to the food. We told the hostess we needed at table for 15, and were led to a table for 12. After they tracked down enough seats and another table we finally got to order 45 minutes later the food arrived. At no point after ordering did our server come to the table again. We finally had to approach her, ask for our checks and then we were able to leave. The food was Dave and Busters quality, which if you like that thing is respectable and reasonably priced. I probably would have ordered three or four drinks, but you can’t order if your server doesn’t come back to the table. Speaking of drinks, they brought water pitchers, but no glasses. So, I don’t really know how they planned on us actually drinking the water they brought to the table.
Randomly I ran into an old friend who also had a fairly big party. We were servers for a long time, and neither of us were impressed with the service. I get it, you don’t come to Andretti’s for the food, but still.
They just got everything wrong from the service standpoint, Had a manager done the standard table check in they probably could have saved the night, but they seemed to be so understaffed there weren’t a lot of managers on the floor. Also, their speciality drinks are $ 10, which seems pricey, because they don’t involve any craft, or top shelf liquor. All of their drinks are basically 1.5 ounces of vodka, 0.5 ounces of schnapps or flavored vodka, four ounces of fruit juice, shaken and served in a high ball. It’s the sort of drink menu you put out when you don’t have any depth behind the bar.
So needless to say it was disappointing. I want this place to be good because I live close by, but they’re not there yet. Their staff just can’t handle the place at max capacity. My advice would be to wait until May or so, or come, make reservations for a race, then go a better restaurant — and they’re all better at this point — and come back in four hours for your race.
Personally it’ll take a bit to get me to come back. Parents just let their kids run wild at this place, and while that’s in no way reflect of the restaurant itself, it is of the people who come here.

Came up with my car group, had a great time! Staff was awesome, the racing and laser tag was a blast! The food is also very good, the pizzas out of the brick oven were fantastic! Would definitely recommend, and will be back in the future!

This place has promise, but as it is it is overrated, and overpriced. Having had many good times at the Andretti location in Roswell, and having moved on to exploring other karting alternatives since then; myself along with a dozen or so friends decided to try this location for a friends birthday.
Now I want to preface this review by saying that I’m a little jaded when it comes to karting. If I’m spending almost $ 30 for 8 minutes of track time, I expect the karts to be at full power and able to achieve the 35mph speeds the company advertises.
I’ve done karting at K1, Atlanta Grand Prix, and the truly epic Atlanta Motorsports Park, as well as the 50+mph Track at Centennial outside of Denver. So if I’m going to pay prices similar to any of those locations; I expect at least some level of comparable performance. This is not to say that I expect the same level of performance on an indoor track that I do from an outdoor track, but I do expect the karts to at least be exciting to drive.
Instead, what me and my friends got were go karts that were limited to something like 24 mph on the upper level course. The karts have been so effectively neutered that you no longer even have to use the brakes to do a full speed lap around the course. You can just rest your left foot on the karts frame, and drive the course at full throttle, having to lift only for hairpins.
It was only after we had spent $ 51 a piece of our money, for three sessions, wasted our «buy 2 get 1 free» coupon, and complained to get a partial refund; that we were told by management that the speeds on the upstairs track had since been limited due to safety reasons. This is why they now call the upstairs track «intermediate», despite neglecting to mention inside the facility itself, that «intermediate» also means just over roughly 60% of the advertised speeds.
This is a huge shame, because the upstairs course layout is genuinely excellent, and wide enough for some actual spirited racing, as well as actual passing. (Which is a frequent complaint against the Roswell course layout.) Upon closer inspection, the intermediate speed reduction is actually mentioned on their website, but it seems that myself and my friends were charged single adult race prices, for the intermediate track.
Unfortunately, the designers of the facility apparently lacked the foresight to either enclose the holes in the upper floor, or install adequately tall and secure barriers to prevent karts from potentially falling from the second story in occasional freak accidents, were they to be run at full speed. This is a pretty embarrassing oversight for a company whose business model is centered around «racing», and when the upstairs track is clearly the faster of the two adult tracks.
I realize there is a delicate balance to be struck between allowing spirited and fun driving and keeping Andretti’s patrons safe; but if a company is going to advertise and sell a product that’s little more than a children’s karting experience they had better reduce the cost of that experience accordingly. Karting is an expensive indulgence, and few things annoy myself and my fellow gear head friends more, than spending a bunch of money for 8 minutes of track time in karts artificially limited to golf cart levels of performance.
Other complaints: The bowling area should have been expanded, and there isn’t adequate seating for large groups, and the bar was extremely understaffed. Maybe if some of the space in the mostly empty and unused restaurant facility, had been used for additional kart track space or bowling the experience would have been better.
If the safety issue on the upstairs track, and the karts are returned to full speed, I’d happily give it another shot. Until then I’ll be looking elsewhere.
