I have never had a better time losing money!…read more This spot is legit old school. Upon walking in for derby day ladies were given a rose and seated in front of a ton of screens where one can check out races from all over. Being from the Bay I get super excited about seeing races at Golden Gate Fields where my dad would take me as a kid. Food took awhile but it was pretty good. They have surprisingly huge salads that made me wish I had ordered one! Being exceedingly annoying AND a veggie I was happy when our waitress was able to wrangle up a veggie burger for me! I ended up eating way too much. Drinks are basic but why are you ordering that piña collada with muddled chocolate mint at such a place anyway? Save that habit for people like me... Unknown amongst the younger set I can see this spot being a fun place to do up the races in a style that is as authentic as it is interesting. Just think twice before inviting Camilla the Yelping Hen, she is not so great at losing. I forgot to mention the super cool Yelp Booth and thank Trish. It was something I would not have done without Yelp and I am thankful for the chance!

Such a fun experience, especially if it's your first time at the races. The energy is exciting, and…read moreit's really cool watching the horses up close. The atmosphere is lively without feeling too overwhelming. Definitely a great spot for a different kind of night out.

Fun race track in Los Alamitos , Ca. On the older side, not very modern but is a throwback to…read moreplaces like Hollywood Park in some ways...tv sets are on the older side...beer selection isn't great and probably wouldn't eat here outside of the Vessels club which seems to be the upscale place in the track....decent horse races in the day when the thoroughbreds are here, the quarter horses at night are okay as well but a totally different type of racing....have been here a few times now and wouldn't hesitate to return again in future if the opportunity presented itself....not for everyone but for those interested in racing it is highly recommended....

My husband and I were in town for a soccer showcase and stopped in here for dinner. We got greeted…read moreby the host and sat right away. There are a bunch of tvs all around the place mostly on horse racing but some also had different sports on them. Our server was really nice and she was attentive and greeted us right away. My husband and I both ordered burgers. I had the derby smash burger with waffle fries and he had the Cali burger with steak fries. Both burgers came out cooked perfect. They were fresh and juicy. My smash burger came out different than I was expecting, the patty was thicker than I'm used to for a smash burger but it was still flavorful and delicious. The inside of this place is a bit dark but has a cool vibe and it is also kid friendly. We didn't have any kids with us but there were other families that had young kiddos there. When we are back in town we will definitely stop here again for dinner.

6/8/25 - 2:15 PM This is a late post that was previously…read moredrafted, and I have not returned since this visit. My family and I spent the day walking around Lake Perris and decided to stop by The Derby Room afterward. First and foremost, Tabitha was an AMAZING server. Despite being completely overwhelmed and handling more than seven tables on her own -- while also bussing tables -- she still managed to provide excellent service and made sure our food arrived in a timely manner. She truly did the best she could under the circumstances, and it did not go unnoticed. The reason for the 3-star rating is primarily due to the establishment being severely understaffed during our visit. In addition, the overall presentation and cleanliness of the venue appeared neglected, likely from the UFC fight night event held the evening prior. I do want to give credit where it's due though -- Tabitha remained professional, attentive, and hardworking throughout the entire experience. The food was very delicious which my children could attest to! Thank you!

If you do come to this venue, prepare to walk, this last event my steps hit over 19,000/9.something miles so wear something comfy. Also a lot of hotels start over charging near event times so try and book ahead of time if attending any of the events. One last thing research the parking sitch as well. PLUR y'all
