Homestretch Steakhouse

Never had Bison before, but was delightfully surprised. Very well prepared dish. Coming from out of town I wasn’t sure what to expect, but everything from service to the food was well above what I was prepared for. Nice selection of sides that were all very tasty. Added bonus that we had a nice view of the races.

OMG, If you’re planning on coming to the race track do yourself a favor and avoid this place explicitly. They profess to be a high-​end steak and seafood restaurant but they’re not quite up to the level of Outback. I gave them 1 star because there was nothing lower, giving them 1 star is an insult to restaurants that are actually 1 star.
First off, as I’m quite particular about how my steak is prepared I asked the host about their kitchen, you would think being the host he would know their kitchen’s ability, he was clueless and told me to ask my server. Our server (Marshall) was equally clueless, she couldn’t tell me if their chefs could prepare a steak «Pittsburgh», I decided to go a different path so I wouldn’t make my dining partners uncomfortable. Sadly, they had issues with their own dinner, both ordered the Halibut, and its bad enough to destroy a piece of fish as delicate as this but the kitchen did it to both entries.
My dish however, Grilled Chilean Sea Bass was perfect. Sides brought to the table were cold, the Avocado Salad was lacking enough Avocado to be called an «Avocado Salad». Speaking for my colleagues, I told our waitress to discuss this Halibut disaster with her manager and they took both entries off the bill without so much as a visitation to apologize.
When you come to the track, stick with the lower end restaurants which if its disappointing than you’ve not wasted your money.
Overall, our time at the track was fun had we avoided Homestretch. Next time we’ll know better.

As a new resident of Anderson, I’ve been searching for a place to get a decent meal. It hasn’t been easy. Someone recommended Homestretch Steakouse, and I figured, what the hell — casino food can’t be any worse than what I’ve eaten in town so far. What a nice surprise. Service was great and the food was fantastic. All 6 of us really enjoyed entrees, sides and deserts. We’ll be going back. The only downside is that you are in a casino with a racetrack… or is it a racetrack with a casino? So the dining room is littered with TV monitors showing horse racing which is a little distracting. Overall it’s the best place to get a nice meal I’ve found in town so far.

I hosted a surprise birthday party here this weekend. I had 27 guests. The manager and i created a menu that suited my guests tastes. Each guest ordered from the pre set menu with their individual preference for how they wanted their main dish prepared (rare, medium etc.) Each meal was perfectly prepared, service was outstanding and the food itself was outstanding. I live in New Jersey and the event was just after Superstorm Sandy. The manager was very understanding of the difficulties I was having organizing the event in the middle of a catastrophe. His help, the great food and a wonderful wait staff made for a perfect evening for everyone. I highly recommend the Homestretch.

This is my first visit to Hoosier Downs, or to an active horse track for that matter. They had several restaurants, but we chose the upscale steakhouse. The entrees were as good as any restaurant I have been to. I did not like the LOUD amplified music. It was interesting to watch the harness racing. I was amazed at the number of number of politically connected persons I saw there that night. You CAN get to the restaurant without going through the casino if you enter from the south doorways.
