Cactus Racks

I just discovered this place in late November 2025, when searching for a place to play pool, without having to deal with the typical pool hall vibe. And wow, what a gem this has been! From my first visit, I was warmly greeted by one of the owners, Jairo, and he happily explained that he and the other owners had just recently reopened this place with the goal of creating a family friendly spot that people could enjoy good food and drink, while playing some pool in a safe, well-lit environment, instead of the stereotypical biker bar scene. When I met the other owners, they echoed the previous statements about building a family friendly hang out for the local community. I had more or less stopped playing pool some 20-25 years ago, expressly because of wanting to avoid any sketchy environm

Clearly a good Italian beef near (in) Cave Creek! It's the real deal. Also, Vienna hot dogs. And a pool hall to boot. Great place! Oh, and don't forget the cannoli! Old Style and Malört served here!

Food is so good! Delicious Chicago dog that was devoured instantly. Cheesecake that tastes like a 5 star gourmet Michelin chef created. Sausage and peppers that tastes like a like home. Very filling Phili cheesesteak sandwich with soft roll, tender meat, flavorful veggies, and homemade cheese sauce that melts in your mouth. Wendy, our server, spent time with me and helped me select the best items on the menu. Thank you Wendy! I’m coming back very soon. Personable owner. Clean environment. Lots of pool tables for fun! Sports games on the tv’s through out the building. Very comfortable place to bring family and friends.

I’ve always loved billiards, but after the last good place closed, it was hard to find a clean, well-kept spot. This place recently reopened and it’s the best in Phoenix—great tables, good food, and friendly staff. The cheese sticks and wings were especially good. It reminds me of the top-notch service I experienced back in Ukraine. Highly recommend!

This place is great. It's a combo restaurant and pool hall that just opened in October and is a nice gem for Cave Creek. The service was friendly and the recommendations were perfect. The owners stopped by to say hi and to make sure everything was good and took time to talk with us. We sat in the restaurant side and couldn't even tell there were pool tables on the other side of the wall with many people playing. They have 5 large screen TVs hung up with the football playoffs on. I had the Vienna Italian Beef combo with mild Italian sausage. It was served on perfectly toasted Gonnela roll from Chicago, a hot side of Au jus for dunking and giardiniera for a little bit of heat. I paid a bit more and added provolone cheese and upgraded my frys to onion rings. It was like eating a sandwich
