Another response mentioned Whisky's in LBurg. I have eaten there, and it is okay. Of course it is hard to judge a joint based on one meal. Just east of the track on 50 is a joint called Buffalo's Southwest Cafe. It, too is a chain, but not bad.

For the Brownstown race, I suggest Larrison's Diner in Seymour. (about 12 miles from the track). It is one block East of the Hospital on the corner of HWY 50 and Chestnut Street. Has a real Mom and Pop atmosphere. Good greasy burgers with grilled onions. French Fries like nothing you have ever had. Nothing fancy, just good food.
Seymour will also be your closest town to get a hotel before heading to Bloomington.

Lawrenceburg has a wide variety of food, I suggest Buffalos Southwest Grill located just 1/4 east of the track, and then theres Hollywood Casino just opened a new joint inside. Its open 24 hours during the weekend, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner anytime. We also have everyfast food place you need. Or eat at the track!!

For Lawrenceburg, everyone has mentioned the expensive steak house at the casino, but forgot about the awesome buffet there. It serves prime rib EVERYDAY that is to die for! Also, I believe on Fridays they feature seafood. For me, there's nothing like all-you-can-eat crab legs! They have a midnight buffet on the weekend too if you're hungry afterwards.

Anyone coming to the North Vernon race should stop at Sue's Pit Stop in North Vernon. It is right across from the North Vernon City Park. Sue is Sue Collins whose family used to promote North Vernon, and now helps Dave Rudisell at Lawrenceburg Speedway. She has the BBQ that was always served at TC up until about 7 years ago, and many other great selections. Plus it's a racing themed restaurant, how can you go wrong there.

In Bloomington there are many non-chain restaurants. For a greasy spoon with burgers, fries, chili, etc. you need to go to Hinkle's Hamburgers also across the street is the Crescent Donut if you need some dessert.
Hinkle's Hamburgers 206 South Adams Street Bloomington, IN 47404-5069 (812) 339-3335 For something a little fancier I would recommend Farm restaurant. One of my favorite places to eat...anywhere. The chef/owner has worked in New York, Paris, served the president, etc. He tries to use local and even wild local food when possible. Some fancy items on the menu but they also have an awesome burger and the garlic chili fries are great. FARM-Bloomington www.farm-bloomington.com 108 East Kirkwood Avenue Bloomington, IN 47408 (812) 323-0002 here are a few other great places to eat. For wings and sandwiches: Buffa Louie's www.buffalouies.com 114 South Indiana Avenue Bloomington, IN 47408-4043 For a bar with great food: Nick's English Hut www.nicksenglishhut.com 423 East Kirkwood Avenue Bloomington, IN 47408 (812) 332-4040 (812) 333-3030 4th Street which is 1 block south of Kirkwood Ave has many ethnic restaurants. There are other good places to eat along Kirkwood Ave and around the town square. Everything within a few blocks and right next to the university. It's a nice place to walk around and kill some time. |

They're normally not open much after lunch. Also be warned that the old ladies that work there can be a little mean...but in a fun way. You just have to give it right back to them. If you order a milkshake you'll see what I'm talking about.
