    Enjoy the wall art

    Stable Café is located within the fairgrounds. An attended will wave you down the path and you will find the café and parking at the end of it on the right. You'll enjoy the beautiful horse-racing artwork on the walls. The staff is friendly and he service excellent. We enjoyed our late breakfast and the order was prepared quickly and correctly. All good!

    Chilaquiles

    Such an improvement over the old Stable Cafe. I got the chilaquiles, which were fantastic. The eggs were cooked perfectly.

    Vibrant paintings of race day.

    Maria greets us with a warm hello to welcome us back. This place is a rare jewel full of good food and fabulous people at the grill. Coffee is hot there is plenty of seating for small and large groups. Maria opens at 5am and closes at 1pm she was so gracious as we were still eating at 130pm. There is love in her food and service we had a wonderful meal.

    I've lived in the area most of my life and been to the fairgrounds so many times, even gone to horse races in the past and volunteered at the horse races years ago...but I never knew this place existed! My husband found this cafe and we stopped by for brunch on a Tuesday mid morning. It's a pretty casual place and we had to pass security to drive to it but we just told them where we were going and they told us where to park. There were a few tables of people and only two people working, one of whom looked to be on break, so the lady greeted us, got our drinks, took our order, and cooked and delivered our food! She was genuinely happy and super efficient at her job. Our day was made a little brighter by her positivity! The food was delicious and affordable, it was super fresh and hot. I would get it all again in a heartbeat!

    We've always wanted to try this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The service is great. All our dishes were flavorful with care in the details. We had an omelette with hash browns and toast, eggs and hash browns with toast, french toast and a turkey sandwich. Everyone loved their food. I'm getting the french toast next time since its so good! I also liked how the french fries had more than just salt and pepper on them. Best part is that it's reasonably priced. The amount of food given is great value for the price. It was a nice touch to have the place nicely decorated for the holidays- a full sized tree, santa hat seat covers. made it feel homey. We found our new favorite breakfast spot.

    This was our first time here, and we will definitely be back! Delicious food, generous portions, and excellent service.

    Support local businesses. Highly recommend this place! Food was delicious and at a great price. Our server was very accommodating. Thank you!

    I had linguica and eggs and it was great. Hashbrown done just right. Service is always good.

Great selection for menu offerings. Sharing the tri-tip steak and eggs with my daughter. And an ube latte, ube matcha iced coffee and mango matcha. When it comes to the Bay Area's ube drinks, I'm always let down and I surprise myself when I do order it. Like tell me I'm lying when Starbucks' ube was a massive fail for me as a Filipino. Post- meal: steak was medium rare and juicy. My younger daughter was in heaven with her tri-tip and A1. Country potatoes were well seasoned. My daughter had club sandwich which she ate voraciously. She's not typically a sandwich person so this was a good sign! Our specialty drinks. Now, with the ube. The ube foam had the tiniest hint of ube flavor but it was more of a purple foam and didn't satisfy my craving. My younger daughter had the ube matcha and although she liked the ube foam, she kept asking me to ask for more because her drink only tasted like matcha. It was more of the same for my daughter who thought there wasn't enough mango in the mango matcha. If we don't finish our drinks, we usually take it home to go but we decided to leave ours. It's not enough to have a good presentation of specialty coffee drinks but the taste leaves one wanting. I want them to do good. There are better foams and syrups out there. Check out the syrup that Porto's uses for their ube matcha. There's great small batch syrups as well. Our waiter was lovely. You get the sense that this is possibly his family's business. If not, he definitely had pride in this restaurant and his work which leads me to believe that I would give this place a try again to eat their food and see if they've improved their coffee menu.

This time we both had salad. He had the Caesar chicken salad that has a little bit of a surprise in that they add sun-dried tomatoes! This gives it a unique pop of flavor. They do not have anchovies to add if this is something that you are looking for in a Caesar salad. We often have the spicy tater Todd's (play on words for tater tots, named after the owner). They aren't too spicy and we really enjoy them. This time we had the Scoozie bread (we used to get this at Skip Hinsley's Girasole restaurant years back and he and Todd went into business here at Sidetrack bar and Grill... bringing some of those special recipes with him). Lately, I've been trying their street tacos. Todd is smoking his own meats and the food is delicious! Their burgers never disappoint either! Have some fun. Hang out. Todd and this restaurant give back a lot to our community! Always fun and delicious!

We grabbed a nice big table on one of their outdoor patios with a decent-sized TV, which turned out to be a great place to catch the game. The beers were good, although quite a few were out of stock, which was a bit of a bummer. For appetizers, we ordered the edamame and coconut shrimp. Both were solid. For our mains, we tried the Grilled Ahi Tuna with rice and ginger sauce, the Caesar salad, and their signature burger. Overall, the food was good, but not great. The grilled ahi tuna was definitely the highlight of the meal, and my daughter really enjoyed it. The only thing that surprised us was the portion sizes, which felt a little on the smaller side. The service was friendly, and the overall vibe was relaxed and easygoing. That was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted somewhere we could watch the game without the super loud, rowdy sports bar atmosphere, and this place fit the bill perfectly. I'd recommend The Side Track if you're looking for a casual spot to grab some food, enjoy a few drinks, and catch a game with family or friends.

Got our first order of rinks and food. Once the food came out she came by to ask if everything was fine and it was. We noticed a lot of regulars came in as she knew people by name. However, we finished our first drink and wanted a 2nd, but she never came back. We see her attending her regulars and neglecting us on our side of the bar. She walked by a couple times and we tried to get her attention by raising our hand and saying "excuse me" but she ignored us or did not notice. 20 mins of this and we were frustrated. The regular next to us noticed and saw us this whole time. So he said "JULIE!" and she came over and he said they need you. And at this time we just said give us the check and a box. We did not want another drink anymore and just wanted to get out of there. The guy said to just call her name next time if this happens again. I just felt like she enjoyed talking to her regulars a lot more and catering to them. The food was only okayyyy. The chicken lettuce and too much of that cheep crunchy thing and not enough meat and other stuff. I liked the tater tots though. Maybe I will go again, idk. We will see.

It's going to be dry, but they were both so soft and juicy and waste. We ordered the oysters and the tuna tartare for appetizers. Very very good. We didn't get a dessert menu, so that was sad, but we were full anyways. I didn't notice once I drove home an hour and a half away that the Valet let a key in my car to the lockbox. They did ask me to drive it back. However, I live an hour and a half away so that's not happening. So next month when I'm in Sacramento I'll drop it off.
