The Track Kitchen is a small, local diner tucked just off the entrance near the horse barns area of the Warren County Fairgrounds. The food isn't fancy, but it's affordable and really tasty. It feels like a throwback to another time. Two people can eat well here and still leave a generous tip for around $20. read more

My fourth time eating here. The potatoes and gravy are my favorite; they are known for them. Extremely affordable and delicious. Cute place where everything inside doesn't looked changed in 50 years. All are locals inside and everyone is polite and friendly. Under new ownership, so I'm excited to see how they might add a personal touch to the menu/place. The new owner was our server (Dan) and he and his wife are incredibly friendly. It's also very fun to walk over and see the horses practicing on the tack. read more

Your classic greasy spoon. Dining area isn't huge but Excellent friendly service and the food was cheap and good and came out quick. Had the full order of biscuits and gravy, coffee, home fries. Wife had the omelet with ham, cheese, toast and a half order of biscuits and gravy and a Diet Coke. All of that for under $20 before tip. Biscuits were soft and buttery. Gravy wasn't as spicy as I was hoping but I know a lot of places don't spice things like they used to. Also someone order off the lunch menu at 9:30 in the morning so was surprised to see that. I would definitely visit again. read more

At hometown favorite home cooked meals great service and good food each every time I've eat there for several times early years

We went to the Track Kitchen for breakfast the other day and it was so good that we went back the next day for lunch. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge. The restaurant is ran by a family and they all work hard to make your visit great. From the Grandma all the way to the grandson. Make sure you are good and hungry when you visit. read more

Great home cooked huge portions great priced food in a warm family atmosphere People who work there are family & an accent to the racing community for those who have their horses on property read more

A true gem and everything a modern, corporate chain restaurant isn't. Make your way down a quiet, unpaved road passing by all the beautiful horse stables as you take in the morning sunshine. Slowly pull off the path and park under the massive, majestic oaks that surround The Track Kitchen. Enter the humble little building through an old screen door and be immediately greeted "Good morning!" by smiling and friendly locals enjoying their morning coffee in mismatched mugs they selected and filled themselves in the back kitchen. Order what you like from their simple breakfast menu and find a cozy spot to settle yourself in. Put on a smile and greet the next friendly faces on the customers who enter after you. Grandma is in the kitchen getting everything together; good food takes time. Peruse all the historic photos and nostalgic newspaper articles in simple frames that adorn the walls in no particular order. Perfect eggs cooked to order and lovingly prepared, delicious pancakes, home fries, bacon, or sausage. Simple toast just like home. Grandma knows what she's doing back there. It's truly amazing. If you like fancy and pricey this isn't your place. Sensibly affordable, Cash only. read more

Traveling from New York back to Texas, came here from the reviews and it did not disappoint. Breakfast was fast and delicious, and tasted like it was cooked at home. Kathy was very friendly from the minute we walked in. Thank you for making our overnight stay in Lebanon memorable. read more

I have eaten there for breakfasts & lunches, always excellent meals . The food is loving prepared & well presented. The prices are consistently fair. read more

Cash Only but worth every penny! Outstanding home cooking just like grandma used to do! You gotta try the pancakes - they absolutely cover your entire plate - the trick is to make a hole in the center of your stack to pour your syrup in! My personal favorite is the Meatloaf! The deserts are homemade and delicious! read more

This place has a positive local diner feel. The waitresses are very friendly. Self seating and we were able to sit down quickly. Food was delicious and my whole family enjoyed their meal. The pancakes are very large, so soft and nice and fluffy. My western omelet was stuffed with a generous portion of ham. If we come back this way for another soccer tournament, we will come back! AND you can't beat the price! read more

Sorry, but we waited over an hour for food, so we ended up leaving. They need help, I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt because it's small and local. Maybe just a bad day. read more

Dirt cheap. Big portions. Small place so expect a wait. Good for a cheap breakfast. Nice wait staff.

Really good food, very very good pricing; low prices. The service from ordering to being served and checking to make sure all was good was great as well! The restaurant is not big and fancy but the food, service and friendly atmosphere is perfect. Really a perfect experience, was there the first time with a neighbor and he recommended this great place and I will return. Their menu is very nice and the quality and prices are amazing. They are more than reasonable on their prices. read more

Small diner with excellent home cooked food. Staff was very friendly. The only downside is their limited hours.

Good food served by caring people with great personalities. A dive-like ambiance but it is very worth a visit. I love the trek to the restroom. Favorite meals: Breakfast - eggs and whatever. It's fun to watch high school football players eat the pancakes. Huge, with the middle hole reserved for syrup. Lunch - Thurdsays - Meatloaf Desert - Awesome cake read more

This was the most inefficient restaurant I've ever been to. Full dining room and only two tables had their food. We waited an hour for our breakfast order and never even got our food! After an hour we just left. read more

Best breakfast around for the value! Love the western omelette and biscuits and gravy!

Here is all the proof you need that great tasting food (and coffee) can be simple and oh-so-satisfying. If you're looking for quick food or exquisite ambience, this is not the place to go. But if you're looking for an outstanding, home-cooked style meal like grandma made/makes, you'd be hard-pressed to do better than what you'll be served here. read more

First, know that breakfast stops at 10, even on the weekend. The food is just okay but the prices are fantastic. What made the visit weird was that I seemed to offend the waitress when I asked if they had swiss cheese for my burger. She said that they were an American restaurant and serve American food. Ironically the special that day was swiss steak. Lol read more

Food was cheap and tastes amazing. I would highly recommend the back and cheese omelette and the pancakes. The pancakes were huge just an FYI. The server was so sweet and kind and knew everyone in there. They brought our food out in no less than 10 minutes. The ambiance was unique as well. Old fashioned and small but a country style as well. 10/10, would highly recommend. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about the place over the years and I've been a handful of times. The current times dictate cleanliness, masks and more cleanliness. That wasn't the case this past weekend. First, the "grandson" used the same dirty rag to wipe down every table, without rinsing it off. He just wiped a table, and then put it on the counter, and repeat. He wasn't wearing a mask and served peoples drinks, and didn't wash his hands. The ultra friendly server was not wearing a mask either. She handled food, money, the dirty rag, to go drinks, it's like they don't believe anything is happening. The food was plain, bland and mostly didn't taste like anything. The clientele is redneck loudmouths who thought it was hilarious to yell cusswords. I'm sure I won't go back. Prices were cheap (so was the food) and the server was amazingly friendly and attentive. Quit pretending like the rules don't apply to you because you don't believe it's happening. When I left, you could track me down via my farts. read more

Best breakfast spot in Lebanon. Food is always consistently good and prices can't be beat. They open at 6 am which is handy for pre-work breakfast meetings. read more

I had scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. Husband had pancakes. Eggs and bacon were cooked fine; can't go too wrong there. Toast tasted off, perhaps stale or an off-brand. Husband said pancakes tasted like a cheaper mix was used. Coffee didn't come with real creamer. Not my idea of old-fashioned home cooking. Staff was friendly. Total was $15, which was very reasonable. There's a much better breakfast option in town. And honestly, anything I make at home is better. So, we don't plan to return. But if you're wanting someplace to go with a group of friends that won't hurt your wallet or just want a cup of coffee, this might fit the bill. read more

First, it's small and runs at its own speed. You'll know when you get there. Be patient, they do their best. That aside, it's a nice little hidden gem. Good-sized portions and tastes great. Be sure to grab dessert, good stuff! The people are nice and can be straight-forward at times. Adds to the charm. This is a communal type sitting arrangement, meaning if it's just you and perhaps one other, you may share a table with others. Not a huge deal, mostly families and senior regulars. Heard some great stories, by the way! It's located on the Lebanon Fairgrounds property, so you may have to u-turn. Major note! Cash Only. No cards or checks accepted, as of my last visit, about 3 months ago. read more

Traditional horseman kitchen. Craving grilled cheese and tomato with a side of fries? How about a cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato? Or try the daily special like chicken and noodles. All good. Nothing fancy. Closes at 2 because that's when most of us horse people are done work. read more

If your looking for home-cooked food, this is the place to go. Open from 6-2 Monday- Saturday CASH ONLY. Terrific atmosphere, friendly people, awesome food. You won't leave here hungry that's for sure. read more

The best breakfast stop around! Prices are insanely cheap, and the food is just like grandma used to make. Seriously - fantastic down-home breakfasts. Take cash - no credit cards accepted. read more

Just good old fashioned home cooking. Great for early risers as they open at 0600 and there's usually a table of "good ol' boys" discussing the weather. read more

If you have time than this is the place to eat. Very slow service. Food might be cheap but the service sucks unless you are a regular then they sort of caterer to you. When I say slow service I mean waiting 35 minutes just to get a drink order read more

Amazing Food!!! Friendly people!!! Reasonable Prices!!! I recommend their breakfast. You get more than enough food for the cheap prices. I usually get the egg, bacon, toast and home style fries and a drink the cost is less than 15.00. The ambiance is family sharing a meal with family. Will continue to be one of my favorite places. Please go and try it out. You will not regret it. read more

I love the small family run restaurant. This is a great example. Not much on ambiance, but a very clean restaurant nonetheless. While in the area, I took my father out for breakfast. Wow! The biscuits & gravy were exemplary. Biscuits were fluffy and the sausage gravy was well balanced in flavor and served hot. My dad added two fried eggs - cooked perfectly to his liking. I ordered a side of crispy bacon and they got it right. The prices are SO reasonable, I would definitely go back when in the area. read more

Restaurant was super crowded and it was hard to find an open table. Service was a little slow due to the number of people and a little frustrating that people coming in after us got waited on first. Appears the regulars get treated better than those they don't know, but still very friendly. Food was ok, but it was large portions and not expensive. We did not know it was a cash only business until we tried to check out after breakfast and leave. Didn't notice any postings about cash only, maybe I missed it. Perhaps it's just me but we don't carry much actual cash any more. Will probably not be returning due to cleanliness issues. Whole place just felt dirty and clearly the staff were not cleaning well when customers got up to leave. read more

Portions are large. Home fries were a hit and those biscuits n gravy fill you up! Definitely a local breakfast joint, everyone knew everyone. It was yummy read more

We love this place and we will drive 15 miles out of our way to come here. The food is excellent and inexpensive! It can be a little hard to find if you are not sure where you are going (it's in the parking lot of the old Lebanon race track). read more

Very good food, quick and correct orders. A phenomenal value too! A great atmosphere in a quaint setting!

Kathy is a great owner. We have been going on and off for years. Food is only a few bucks and the breakfast is unbeatable for the value. Just remember it's cash only or you will get sent to find an ATM. They open earlier than most at 6:00 am, so early risers can grab a nice breakfast before work. read more

Nothing fancy but great food! Service was a little slow. It was a packed Saturday morning because it's just darn good home cooked food. Ordered a sausage egg and cheese omelette was fantastic. Home fries were tasty fried sliced potatoes. The potatoes were room temperature but still really good. I'm glad I wasn't in a hurry though. The price can't be beat! read more
