Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If it wasn’t for the restaurant I’d give it 5 stars. We go to the races often and the casino sometimes as well. The racing is great fun and the casino is fun too, but the restaurant service is terrible. The food is ok, not great but ok, but is overpriced for the quality and portions. After a bit of a tip a small draft beer was $9. We’ve eaten there a few times, just to give it a fair try or when we met with others, but now we drive up the road for dinner. The outside food tent is understaffed and looked after by a couple of people who seem like they don’t want to be there. The long line is very slow, they don’t have coffee and the restaurant won’t let coffee outside.

My kids and I went to the track for a father's day outing and had a blast. There was a booth setup giving away free hair trims! Watching the horses race was fun and watching the horse activities between races was neat too. You can bet $2 per race, so you can be a part of the action without losing your shirt. The restaurant inside was nice too.

Popped into Ajax Downs to grab dinner and donate a few dollars to the casino. Dinner was excellent and as a Winners Circle member you get an extra $2 off an already special priced meal.

As for the casino. It was a bit disorganized. I wanted to just try some .25 slots but they were scattered all over, hard to find. However one of the floor staff did direct us to an area with some machines. I made my donation and we took off.

Noticed they offer a Breakfast Buffet on Saturdays for $2.99 (Winners Circle members) Thinking we may have to go check that out too.

Enjoyed the short time we were there and will return.

The restaurant was a real crappy dinner. there was three of us, and all the food was just over room temp. One member of our group ordered steak, which should have come out sizzling and it was cold. our chicken orders were unthawed, just out of the fridge, being precooked, the cheese was not even melted on the chicken parm. The three meals were just under $70.00 Have eaten there before, and not that bad, but this time was the last time we will be dinning there.
