The staff was great... our server Amy was amazing but the place is a dump...the place is run down...no air conditioning...we were sweating sitting at the table...needs alot of upgrading !!!

Had a great time with the family. Very unhappy that they closed consesions early. We wanted some SOFT SERVE

Went there for a dance. The atmosphere was great. You could not, however get any drink you wanted. The bar was understaffed and the wait was extremely long.

DO NOT PLAN AN EVENT HERE! You will be falsely accused of vandalism and theft!!!! You will be forced to pay for someone else's actions! Think twice before talking to the event coordinator!better to stay with OTB! the whole place should be updated.maybe this will help them with revenue instead of trying to make up slow months by blaming other people and having them pay for things they didnt do!

Needs an update on their bathrooms and inside. Love how close you can get to the horses too. Their staff are always friendly and helpful.

Horse racing is the sport of Kings! You can't beat the entertainment value of live horse racing. The admission fee is super reasonable especially compared to other sporting events. Lots of fun and excitement.

If you like betting on live thoroughbreds horse racing this is the track to be at.Hawthorn recently celebrated 125 years in the Horse racing world.It's a game of king's.

Not good , people watching to see if you leave your tickets on the table ,I or in in the tot, I come to gamble not worry about who's watching me......

It's a great adult place to enjoy racing with a friend/ spouse.Iwouldnt take my children or grands.Happy&friendly people thru out the park...

Love being at The Racetrack, my Mom won my Prom Car - Red - 1975 Electric 225, best family times ever.....

Animal abusers, starving cats that are not hurting anyone. Let the people that want to trap, move and take care of feral cats take care of them.....

It's a huge place that is a throwback to the yesteryear of horse racing. It looks and feels like how going to the track was in the late 70's or 80's. The place needs to be updated and cleaned up. The bathrooms were filthy and the place could be a little cleaner. I didn't try the food as the place and the look of the kitchen kept me away. If a place looks like this how good can the food really be. As far as betting and affordability it gets better. Beer prices are very good, reserving a table or booth is very easy and cheap. The tables on the main concourse have a $20min of food and beverage service and a day at the track will certainly hit that mark. Great amount of large screen tv's plenty of machines but they also are old but still you don't have to wait in line to place a bet or check your ticket. The people taking the bets are very friendly and helpful and were funny and made it fun to place a bet so great window service. Our waiter for our table did not come by often but the bars were easy to walk up to and just order a round of drinks very quickly. As far as watching the races, plenty of TV's a nice upper deck and a nice paddock however the railing is a little high and actual road dividers as the wall you cannot huge the railing like you can at Arlington or other horse racing tracks. If you are regular guy who is just going for the racing and you are there for betting the horses rather than playing Kentucky derby dress up day then this is your place. A no thrills horse racing place and not a fancy joint at all but a easy place to have affordable fun then this is it. So with that in mind probably a 4 star place but since it's old school decor and cleanness and clientele of the people it's a 3.
