grand river raceway

a nice night out a place to go to for relaxation races are exciting food is good drinks are alittle pricey but over all still cheap night for the wife and i and some nights even better when we win

Stayed for the day, won some, lost some. Went with family and friends to try our luck. All in all a good day.

This is located in Elora - not Kitchener. Don't go expecting a 'Trump' kind of place - it's quaint, smaller - perfect for our area and the food in the restaurant is some of the best I've ever eaten.

It was a beautiful evening, and I had never been to the Grand River Raceway before, even though I have lived in this region most of my life. The staff at the track were all quite friendly, but I found the place to be quite small. It took moments to check the whole place out from one side to the other before race time. Very clean place, including bathrooms. There is a casino here as well, but the races are what we came for, so we didn't visit. I had a good time! I even picked the winning horse in the third race, wished I'd have bet more.

This was our first time at Elora Raceway, so we played the slots for awhile. It is a small casino and has no poker machines, which my husband plays so he was disappointed. Then we went up to the Club House for the buffet and races, it was nicely set up and for $16.99 it was a decent buffet with enough choices. If it was a nicer day we could have walked down main street of Elora which is quite nice and would have been enjoyable. We would go back there for a day out.

Horse racing is always exciting, the small pretty town of Elora makes it even better. Always something special going on at every race night. Food is pretty good too - slots for fun afterwards - great place for a group gathering

A great place for friends and family to meet and have some fun cheering on your favorite racehorse. Looking forward to the 2014 race season.

Grand River Raceway is a fun place to visit but please don't look for it in Kitchener, it's in Elora Ontario.

dining raceside was entertaining. The slots were fun. ordered fish and chips which was a large portion. Also opportunity to place bet steps away.

We had the buffet, the food was terrible; trays were left empty and it was a race in itself to get a full plate at any given time. It was my birthday dinner and it was embarrassing to have invited friends to such a lunch bag let down.

Excellent fun for the money with a great buffet and family excitement. Whether you are in the restaurant or on the field the atmosphere is terrific

Thinking how best to entertain visiting friends we decided on an evening at Grand River Raceway. The buffet was not very extensive but was good value. The service was excellent and although we did not win on the races everyone in our party had a very enjoyable time.

We went out for a night at the races and slots on a Friday night and made a reservation at The Captains Table Buffet. ( You need a reservation ) We were seated at a table that had a perfect view of the race track, then our waitress took our drink orders. We then headed for the all you can eat buffet ( $13.00 ) We were pleasantly surprised!! They had three choices of meats, seafood, 2 kinds of potatoes and veggies along with cabbage rolls, baked beans, nacho's and cheese, battered fish wonderful caraway rolls and lots more. They also included a small salad bar and an assortment of hot and cold desserts, pizza too. The food was all good but they were a little slow replenishing the food trays, some of the items could have been a lot warmer. All in all I would go back...it was an inexpensive buffet, we all enjoyed ourselves, all twenty five of us!! Limited seating only open Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the buffet during the summer. Recommendation: reservations, go early. Enjoy!!

Nice track, with Standard Bred Races, not overly crowded. Great BUFFET. on Race Nights, if horses you follow, follow horses can always hit the Slots

This facility was just alright , nothing really stood out with regards to the races , slots ( small ) or the food . It's in a great village so there's lots to see before you go in or when you come out .
