Churchill Downs Fall Racing

Enjoyed the Buffet. Turkey, ham, and all of the trimmings. Did not like the cakes and pies. Had competitive horse racing with full fields.

Churchill Downs is a beautiful venue to enjoy the races and the excitement is palpable as you you keep watching one race after other. Food and amenities are awesome overall a great place to enjoy with friends.

Our Family of 8 celebrated our Thanksgiving on the last day of the Fall Meet. The buffet was delicious (and I didn't have to cook or clean up). Our server was attentive and so helpful. The day was special and perfect!!! Thank you Churchill Downs...we will celebrate like this again!

It was a great day for horseracing. Will definitely be going back and this time with a group of friends.

We enjoyed Churchill Downs Thanksgiving, but it was too crowed.. food was average.. The races were ok, but we prefer Keeneland in Lexington.

Our small family has never been big on holidays, but we always get together. Most of us are a little high strung, so we get bored sitting around the house. The Churchill Thanksgiving Event Offers a welcome alternative, no one has to cook, and it s a buffet that runs the entire day, along with bar service. The people at the track are very friendly and parking is free and easy. Being early in the season, the weather is typically pretty nice, sunny and near 60 several years. Your assigned table is inside with betting window, bar and buffet steps away. In addition, you can watch the races from you table via multiple monitors or just step out the sliding glass door and you are in the stands where you can watch them live or on huge screen in the middle of the track. It has become a family tradition for us and is recommended.

Our family had a wonderful day at the track. The food was delicious and the staff made you feel they were glad you were there.

Enjoyed the food but service was slow. Had to ask for drinks numerous times. Waited 30 minutes after a number of requests.

The food was great, no cooking or dishes to do and horse racing too . What s not to love?

We visited the Stakes room this year. The dining room, view, and waitresses were very nice. However, only ONE buffet table was set up for the entire dining room. The food was good, but the buffet table quickly ran out of food, and the items were very slowly replaced.....also, the buffet table was messy and sloppy looking. For $100.00 a ticket, I expected much better.

We had a great time. The food selection could have been a little better, but what was there was great. Dining inside on a chilly day right at the finish line, what could be better!!

We love Churchill Downs! So for our Anniversary we thought we would go up to the Skye boxes in Millionaire's Row to celebrate. I wasn't impressed at all. When I ordered our tickets I didn't know we would be seated at a small table for 6 people. Also food was spilled all over the floor and some of the table innings were dirty! Lunch was just nothing to write home about. It was just Ok! Chicken was good but just an baked herb chicken. Some type of pork tenderloin mixed in a soupy veggie mix. 2 cold salads but kinda plain. Nothing impressive! When it came to gambling, there was only 2 windows open. If you didn't get into lines as the race was finishing up you didn't get to bet the next races. Needed more windows open! We left that area after a few races and went to the 2nd floor and enjoyed every bit of That! We could have saved our self over $70.00 and brought general admission tickets.

We love the small venue of The Roses Lounge. It is classy without being a large room. The service and food are always good. There is a nice view of the track with outdoor seats available to enjoy the races.

Great day at the track. It was cool outside and the Sky Terrace was the perfect way to enjoy the day. The staff did a great job and took great care of my husband and I all afternoon.

You really need to go with a large group to entertain yourself between races (30 minutes!).

Our family had a great time at the Halloween Fall Meet Family Day at Churchill. Our 6 and 3 year old loved the face painting and pony rides. And we all enjoyed the races.

We shelled out $180 for 9 of us to go to this event. This included programs and food. Was cold that day. Parking was a nightmare. No one knew where the "included lunch" was located. We walked for 1.5 hours from one end to the other and repeatedly. When we finally found our lunch, we were served cold hot dogs, chips and a pop. Not my idea of fun. I wouldn't suggest buying the family pass - buy your lunch. I would also buy preferred parking.

had to constantly flag down wait staff to get anything - had to go to the bar to get refills or fresh drinks

Always enjoy going to Churchill Downs-first class operation

The food and racing are always great on Black Friday, the only complaint I have is they try to pack too many tables into the room so it is difficult to walk around. The wait staff also had trouble not bumping anyone.

My experience was underwhelming. The food was subpar, the service was lackluster, and the ambiance was reminiscent of a cafeteria luncheon being held at a middle school. I, however, enjoyed the horse races, the company of those I attended the event with, and the couple that sat next to us.

It was easy to make reservations although the layout of each specific dining area at Churchill Downs is difficult to decipher online. Tables were conveniently near sliding glass doors on the sixth floor. The balcony provided a great view of the track. This dining room was long and narrow. Betting windows and rest rooms were not convenient to those who sat at the far end of the room. Would not recommend this room on a day of a major turnout of fans as negotiating the room and getting to the betting windows would be difficult. The Thanksgiving lunch display was outstanding and the turkey was the best I've ever had.

If you don't want to cook but want good food or just want to shake up the holidays this is it. My family had a table in Sky Terrace. Wonderful meal and enjoyable afternoon watching the races and hanging out. No one lies down to sleep and no one is glued to football. We all talked and laughed and bet on horse for fun.

We had a ball. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Churchill Downs is always a pleasure.

Rose's Lounge at Churchill Downs is a great place to watch the races, but the service was terrible. Tables and chairs are VERY close together, there is nice seating on the outside to watch the races from, pretty close to the finish line. Signs all over the outside say to download the Churchill Downs Racetrack app and you can order from you seat, but once you go through all that you get the message that they are not serving like that right now.

Sitting in Millionaire's Row is a joy! For no more than you would spend on a good meal, you get to enjoy races, dine on a fantastic buffet and people watch! I would highly recommend Churchill Downs to anyone who likes the horse races or just wants a great day with friends and/or family.

Sitting in Millionaire's Row (level 4) is a great experience. The service was excellent. The buffet was good but not great. Need more "healthy" items in my opinion. The desserts looked store-bought instead of made-in-house.

It was so much fun to watch the races and bet on favorites. The museum is so interesting as well. Churchill Downs has such a place in history of horse racing so it was exciting to be there in person.

The track was in great shape. We were wanting a fun crowd and a nice bathroom, with a close bar. The crowd was older and rude. The staff at Churchill was awsome but couldn't make up for the other folks. We won't be back.

We had a blast and the staff at Churchill Downs took great care of us from start to finish

I've been to the Stakes Room and Millionaire's Row on a few occasions and it is always enjoyable. For those two rooms, I always thought the food was included with the price, and you have to pay for alcoholic beverages separately. However, when I went to leave this time, there was a lot of confusion over our bar tab. Reason being, the waitress/bartender tried to charge us for everything, food, sodas, coffee, and cocktails. We finally got it worked out but it certainly was a downer to have to provide proof of payment after an otherwise enjoyable day. What a bummer.
