The Porch @ Saratoga Racetrack

One-of-a-kind, old-world experience!

The food was absolutely horrible. The pastries tasted like something that was IN BJ dumpster for being old. The eggs were disgusting. I don't expect much out of buffets but a little better then that. They need quality control. I would definitely buy a sandwich outside and bring it in and sit on a bench.

Breakfast is sub par, Actually wondered if scrambled eggs were real. They were a very odd plastic texture. No toast either…
Not worth $30 per person for sure.
Service good and loved the horses.Beautiful Saratoga racetrack full of history

It's closed now -off season. Took my brother who was visiting by to see the race course from the street.

A romantic and relaxing way to enjoy breakfast! The service is exceptional, the food is a B+ coupled with the majestic view of the track makes this restaurant a must do.

The Saratoga Race Course is always worth visiting.

The horse that makes the whole town run.

Reserved a table which cost $71 for five, tHree were children. Requested finish line but got a table with a pole blocking some of the view. Requested another table but they said they were reserved for people who come every day. We had fries, sandwiches, salmon, Sodas and iced tea. My daughter had a bloody Mary and they had the nerve to charge $24 for it. I questioned the waitress and she said it was because it was kettle one! I had a split of Moet and Chandon and that was $25 Which I expected. The bill with tip was $240. I am aware of the pricing but not for the bloody Mary. Food is average. Last year someone stole our friends credit card number. This year they did your credit card in front of you .We enjoyed the races and won.

I have read past reviews about horrible service and do not agree. The service is a little on the slow side however you are there for an entire afternoon so it was never a problem. Also our hostess, waitress and all the support help were all delightful and a pleasure to converse and joke with. I have also seen complaints about pricing. Well you are at the track and it is expensive. There are picnic areas out back with free tables that you can bring your own food and beverages and not many sporting or entertainment venues allow that. Also a $20 cheese platter had plenty on it and the Barrata salad was delicious. I was not impressed with the chicken tenders and fries but she enjoyed them. Beers and drinks were a little pricey but no more than you would pay at a pro sporting event or concert and the drinks were made well. You throw in the atmosphere of being at the greatest horse racing track in the world and it makes for a very pleasurable afternoon. Saratoga Race Track has one of the most professional and courteous staff I have experienced. I would recommend The Porch to anyone. It is worth a few extra bucks for the exciting atmosphere and view and I already mentioned the wonderful staff.

Everything was ice cold, including the coffee (when you could find someone to give it to you). Got a slice of ham at carving station, could not even cut it with my knife. Thought this was great, at track, have breakfast and relax. NO SO! for the cost of $17.95 without tax PER PERSON was absolutely outrageous for the food quality and service that we received. Convenience is not always the best.

For only $7 it is a great whole day activity. Doesn’t matter if you bet or not it’s still a fun atmosphere

Hostess was excellent, we were seated promptly. Shortly after sitting our waiter came over and introduced himself. Unfortunately our table was in direct sunlight and we asked to be moved, which was done very quickly and without fuss. Our new waiter was obviously getting the run around from a near by table. But he made every effort to get us back on track. Atmosphere was AWESOME and everyone working was super friendly

The food was decent but once we were seated, the waitress only asked what we wanted to drink. She never came back for any food orders. A gentlemen waiter who was clearing tables took our food order. While the current waitress for our table was busy staying w/ a bigger table that was drinking and still avoiding us, just looked at our table but never asked if there was anything we needed. Another waitress had to take over to give us our check.
