Trackside Bar & Grill

Lived in Bloomingdale for a while and I must say I was skeptical of this place when suggested by a friend. Its literally a hole in the wall location. However, once you go upstairs there was a healthy number of people.

We sat down at the bar and just had burgers. I was not impressed with their beer selection whatsoever (I just changed my rating from 4 to 3 stars). Why they dont have anything from High Point Brewing just a few blocks away I do not know. In either case, this is the place for burgers.... stuffed burgers! Ordered one of the usual ones and had it slightly customized. They will literally put anything in there! Mine was something with fresh moz and some veggies. I had requested red peppers and they forgot to include that in there. However, I only noticed this a few hours after I demolished the burger. The thing was huge and delicious! Could easy feed 2 people for lunch, but I was hungry.

As for service, it was a bit slow and had to ask a few times for water refill and they had to get more straws as they ran out. The burger took forever - however, this is good! It was definitely made to order!

In summary, get a growler from Greg at High Point Brewing in the day and come here for lunch/dinner to order a stuffed burger (they have a special menu for these, ask for it!). Afterward, drink the growler somewhere discrete.

Food here is awesome. Well priced n original. The chef created new n interesting meals. Try this place, don't judge it by the bar its attached to.

This dingy spot, according to my aging relatives, hasn't changed much since the late 1960's.  There's a shuffleboard table, a long bar, and a seriously nasty men's room.  The clientele are usually friendly, but I can't say I've never gotten a sideways glance at the Trackside.

There was a really nice restaurant upstairs for a while that had, literally, track-side patio dining, but last time I checked the restaurant was no longer open for business -- bummer.
