Fun dive with great bar food. Open late with a lively, laid back crowd. Pretty well stocked bar but then again they don not pretend to be upscale either. read more

Great wings! Small atmosphere. Will return, I loved the food! Try the garlic parm and char buffed! read more

Came in & sat at the bar which had chicken crumbs on it. Bartender made no effort to clean it up, so I grabbed a napkin to brush it away. The bartender took our order then came back and used the paper napkin to go down the bar with it and brush the crumbs into the bar side. Then she went to the other end of the bar to eat & cleaned up her hands & arms with a bar rag. The food was fine, it's just that the place seemed quite dirty. Sorry, but you need to do better. read more

I'm from out of town and a bartender at another bar recommended this place for good wings. We decided to head over and grab some wings. First off the customer service was very good. The bar was warm and welcoming. The bar staff was very helpful and friendly. The wings were nothing less than AMAZING! The prices were very reasonable and we left full and very satisfied. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for wings and brews. read more

This is my go to for char buffed double dripped wings. They are so good!! They will not disappoint. I usually get the wings to go, I have never had my meal inside, but the service over the phone is always pleasant. read more

I'm only here to talk about the wings. The wings are great, cooked to perfection and I can only speak for the hot buffalo, but they're my favorite in town. Go with charred and double dipped. You won't be sorry. read more

Went to tracks for the first time yesterday for lunch. Had wings and a salad. I ordered the hot buffalo charred with the ghost sauce added. They were absolutely delicious! Nice and spicy! Love my spice peeps! Had a side salad with ranch. Not to fancy here just a good ol dive bar with good food. Now I guess they are known for their broasted chicken. Maybe next time I will have to try. But if you like wings like me you will love this place ! read more

First time I had tracks it was awesome. Went to tracks with my wife today and got 30 wings and when they first came out had to be remade they were so bad. We had waited 30 minutes already and were just hungry but wanted wings so we waited again. They came out again and the wings were horrible. They were big, cooked unevenly, skin was mushy and we couldn't even eat them. Shouldn't have paid but we ate the fries read more

First time to visit Omaha and we were only here for one night and we didn't feel like steaks-- which was our original plan. Fried chicken sounded good and Yelp recommended this spot. We both loved it. The broasted chicken was very moist and tender, while the crust was crisp and flavorful. I would say it was cooked perfectly and was some of the best fried (broasted) chicken I've ever had anywhere. The coleslaw was spot on as well-- it appeared to be made in house. One of the best parts is the atmosphere-- Tracks is a little neighborhood pub where it appeared as though there were many regulars. We sat up at the bar and enjoyed speedy service and friendly customers. Prices are reasonable & the beer is cold. If this place was located in Indianapolis, I'd come here often. Since I'm a newbie to the area, I didn't realize until driving back to our hotel that the name of the neighborhood where Tracks is located is Nebraska spelled backwards!! read more

Tracks is a go to for wings. Some of if not the best in Omaha. My go to is hot Buffalo charred and double dipped. So good and the perfect heat level for me. The cheese curds are also a go to standard. Some of the best ranch in the city IMO. Tried their blue cheese this time as well. Also yum. We tried the fried pickles on our most recent to go order and they were really good. Takeout only right now but they seem to have a pretty tight ordering system in place. Also they dropped the fries when I arrived so they were hot and crispy when I got home (keep in mind I'm like a 2 minute drive haha...dangerous.) Anyway you should go to Tracks. Their fried chicken is also amazing. read more

Gotta love those wings! The wife got the double dip, they were crazy. I got the charred wings and they were fantastic!

Just to clear up any preliminary confusion, Track's = Trackside. The neighborhood bar originally est. 1965 is back and better than ever. Though since this was a total dive before, it wouldn't really take much. You know you've had some good times at a bar when you have the following conversation while sitting in the newly remodeled Track's sipping beers and checking out the renovation. You: I wonder if they fixed the bathroom door in the ladies room? Remember how you needed to always have someone hold it closed for you? Friend: What? I rest my case. Trackside was just... that place. The place you go to when it's late at night, you're nearly home, but tying one on suddenly sounds like a better idea. My ultimate Trackside story happened years ago now, and is probably too racy for a food blog. Suffice to say there was some solicitation involved - which I politely declined. (Complimentary though it was). Another fond memory included singing karaoke with our wedding party after a stop at the 20's club until the bartender bribed us to leave by selling us a case of bud light. Those were the kinds of things that happened at Trackside. But what now, when the idea of staying out past 10pm has suddenly lost its appeal to me? Has the new Tracks matured with us? In short... YES. I can't compare the food from before, because usually by the time we rolled in here the kitchen had long closed. According to their Yelp description, though, they have the "world's best chicken" and roast beef sandwiches. We started with some buffalo chicken balls. Basically just orbs of blue cheese and chicken fried up nice and crispy. These were definitely a winner. I wonder how many I could eat..? Unfortunately we were only allotted four. Next time maybe order more... or come for happy hour when they're just $2.99 for an order! Speaking of which, HH is 3-6pm with $3 wells and beer. Also, pickle cards for all domestic beers! Not sure what the difference is between fried chicken and broasted chicken, but either way it's delicious. Too hot to eat when it first arrived, I dug in anyway... nearly burning my fingers trying to get at that moist perfectly cooked chicken, stopping only to shove more fries in my face. Then a Jolly Rancher appeared under my fries. Was it supposed to be there or did someone accidentally drop it on my plate? Who cares, it's blue and we all know that's a good flavor. I ate it and appear to be no worse for the wear because of it. This isn't the kind of food you feel especially good about after eating, but it's enjoyable if you know what you're getting into. And I'll definitely be getting into it again. Just writing this gets me in the mood for bar food, actually. read more

I ordered a 12 piece chicken and large fries on Friday august 4. When I called I asked if I could have the order ready at 7. (It was a little after 6) so the order needed to be sent to kitchen at 6:30. The voice on the phone assured me it was no problem. I picked up at exactly 7pm. When I got home the chicken had steamed in the box so long that the batter was doughy and falling off. The fries were also cold and limp. The coleslaw was good, but warm I reachedout to tracks lounge management via email and i got no response or phone call. This meal cost $61 plus i tipped $11. What a ripoff. So do not preorder. You will be unhappy with the results. read more

Wife and I went here today. Been here a few year ago and loved the chix. Tender, at the time, gave us a dinner of breast, cole slaw and taters and was delicious. Today, no choice. Had to take a 4-piece, which is too much for either of us. Tender suggested we get a four piece with only white meat. We split it. OK. Waited long time, which meant the chix was going to be cooked good. And it was. Hotter than the surface of the sun but good. Cole slaw outstanding. All in all, the experience was very good. Place filled with a bunce of rowdy off-work guys but I don't care. Was there myself years ago. Of course will do this place again. read more

Best wings I've had in my life. Twisted double dipped with Garlic parm and charred, Side of waffle fries. May take a bit to get them, but worth it. read more

Solid (divey) bar serving up some great wings and fried chicken for the area. I think usually they only serve the fried chicken for a dinner option, however they were nice enough to fry me up a batch at 1pm on a Saturday to take home and try. Pricewise, I wouldn't call them cheap, wings come in sets of 5. I did 5 garlic parm and 5 traditional buffalo along with the fried chicken. Nothing disappointed. Crispy skin on the chicken and sauce was not too over powering, salty, or vinegary. I think my total was around $23 with the 2 piece fried chicken meal, so I think each wing comes close to $1? A few TVS to catch the game, clean tables, and prompt service earns this joint 4 stars in my book. read more

well we were told how good it is. we will never know since the "broaster" is broken. Ordered bacon blu burger and chik wings ( i guess the wings are cooked differently). 40 min and no food . Only 20 customers in whole place. So far not impressed. When we are in Omaha again we may try it again. read more

Wings here are amazing! Sauces are good, homemade! Wings are large. Nice patio to eat some wings and have a few drinks. Staff is always kind and quick. Nice little spot to chill! I would recommend you stop in and give it a try! read more

Best wings in town!!!! Service has a always been great for me, Nora & Marcus already know my order by heart, and always treat me so well. 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Only open for take out. Unfortunately, the last few times I've picked up wings from Track's, they have been super over-done. The sauces always taste amazing, but the chicken has been dry to the point of inedible. Hopefully, we'll be back once everything gets back to normal. But, probably won't try them out again for a while. read more

Horrible service Wings are not what everyone makes it sound Waffle fries loaded was good tho read more

Great local dive for chicken wings and draft beer! Set inside of what looks like a house on the outside it has a sweet-looking outdoor patio out front and ample parking back. Went here for March Madness and wasn't disappointed. This place doesn't skimp on the buffalo sauce and their fries are awesome, fried to perfection. Try their buffalo wings but maybe just go for the original no double sauce and no garlic parm on the outside layer (a little too much going on). Original is a nice staple for them and would love to see this place crisp up their garlic layer if they keep it going! read more

Some of the best wings I have had in all of Omaha! Don't know why I haven't tried them before, but I'll definitely go back.

This small lounge has the best chicken wings ever, I love them. Actually I crave them a lot!

This place was not a bad place. I was just unimpressed with the wings especially since they were said to have the best wings in Omaha. I ordered cheese curds and charred mild buffalo chicken wings . Cheese curds were good. They had a good ratio of cheese and breading. The cheese pull was impressive . Wings were not dry on the inside. I think I should have ordered them double dipped and charred because the buffalo sauce flavor was lost. I was also hoping to get the curds before the wings, but maybe you have to specify. read more

Honestly, the food is pretty dang good, but the service is absolute dog shit. My experience tonight was met with a unpleasant bartender who forgot to put our order in and announced it loud enough that we had heard it. Oh yeah, and this was at minute 20 and we had ordered appetizers too. About 5 mins later, giving the kitchen staff some time to rush our order out, I walked up to the bartender and had asked about the status of our appetizer. Instead of apologizing or even checking the kitchen, he didn't even break his gaze and said, "It's coming!" I responded with, "how do you know that if you didn't even check?" "IT'S COMING!" immediately followed my question. I didn't catch his name, but he was rude and unpleasant to deal with. Not even an apology. You don't have to even mean it, but he just seemed like he DID NOT CARE AT ALL. Didn't even try to rectify the situation or reprioritize things. At about 30 minutes in, my boyfriend decided it was his turn to say something because someone who came in after us got their food before us. He didn't even get to say anything, because the bartender saw him coming, so he snuck out through the backside and dropped off our cheese curds quickly as to not have to deal with the confrontation. Again, no apology. I will admit, those cheese curds are delicious! The right amount of breading to cheese. I have so much more to say, but this is JUST about the appetizer so far. To end a longer story, the wings were amazing but I won't be back. read more

Love this place- it's my favorite wing/ bar spot in town. I even have to drive about 40 minutes just to get there and they never disappoint! Marcus and the Tracks team do a great job at taking care of my friends and I every single time we go in. I recommend hot-parm sauce combo charred up for the wings- damn near a religious experience every time. Cheers! read more

Tracks wings with the CHAR are so good! We got the BQ and Parmesan wings and they were cooked perfectly! The server was working hard but they seemed understaffed as we got our food about 50 minutes after we ordered and she was speed walking through the small place. Def fav wings now! read more

It's got all you need for a neighborhood dive. TVs, a few flat screens, and a deck to smoke stogies on. Can't say it's anything to go out of your way for but a lot of others seemed to like it on the hot day we went while avoiding the Maha music festival crowd in Aksarben. Not much around there but we enjoyed watching a random music festival on the flat screens in the A/C while sipping on a refreshing Blue Moon. Worth a try if you want to branch out. read more

Tracks Lounge - Askarben - Cold Blue Moon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Neighborhood bar with friendly atmosphere and cheap drinks. It's a bar through and through with nothing fancy to the decoration. The reason for visiting Tracks is to get a drink or several. I had 3 beers over the course of an afternoon for a scant 6 dollars (before tip). The patrons and staff were jovial the entire time. When you visit Tracks, it feels like home even if you're a complete stranger to everyone inside. I would highly recommend Tracks if this is the kind of place you would enjoy in Omaha. read more

I have been to this bar 3 times. It is always something. Last night the bartender mentioned to me in front of my friends that I left a 12% tip. His math is that of a publicly educated moron. How rude to think when I have to wait 15 min to be greeted when there are only 8 people in the place that he deserved to be tipped on the taxes also. Or possibly he just sucked at math. This person has no business working with the public. read more

Don't let the dive bar image fool you, this food is phenomenal! Very cool environment with tons of great Aksarben race track memorabilia. This is hands down the best chicken in all of Omaha! I highly recommend the charred wings as well as the fries which are extremely tasty. Only thing holding this back from being a solid 5 stars is the service which doesn't quite live up to the food, other than that the perfect place to grab a beer and some wings. Wings and Beer couldn't ask for a better exacta! read more

Tracks is my neighborhood bar, and let me tell ya, it's worth the trip. Fire wings. Touch tunes. TV. Golden tee. Just vibes

I do not plan on giving out five stars like candy on Yelp. But I am SCREAMING from the rooftops that the wings here are the best in town. Maybe best in the Midwest. The way to order them is to get the buffalo charred and then tossed in their garlic parmesan. They will not char the garlic parmesan on the wing because it would be DISRESPECTFUL to the sauce and it deserves to be treated at it's full flavor and creamy texture. Trust me.. it is delicious. 5 STAR ALL DAY!!! read more

Since living in Omaha for over 8 years, I struggled to find great wings but look no further because tracks have amazing ones! They have a variety of flavors and their charred wings are great. read more

Definitely give this gem a try. I've known Ann for some time and occasionally drop in. However, today's special of buy one get one half off chicken dinner was definitely worth the visit. Have to say the crispness of the chicken was divine and while I've been a fan of Cheddars tenders (which is real chicken) these tenders give that discussion some competition. Again, thanks Kayla for your attentiveness to service and will definitely return sooner than later. Keep up the good work. read more

Been there few times and it's a nice small place! Food was unfortunately a let down way too salty wings. You should get lucky to get good service. It's a hit or miss. Restroom can be awful so watch out. I may not go there unless I want to booze after midnight since they are open until 2 AM. read more

Here for the College World Series and a local at the game recommended this place. The food was outstanding. Make sure you get the charred wings! read more

I hadn't been to this spot since it was called the Trackside. Aside from a little name alteration, it apparently hasn't changed much at all. It's dark, small, divey and neighborhood-watering-hole-cozy. I came specifically to try their wings. I played it safe and ordered the sweet bbq. The wings were good, but not great. I kind of felt they were cutting corners. By default, they gave me super-runny ranch dressing. This paired with the two smallest pieces of celery on Earth. What kind of perplexed me was the fact that the wings come in orders of five instead of six. That means you'll either get more drumettes or wingettes. I'm a fan of both, so it didn't bother me, but I know this might seriously irk some other people (for the record, I got an extra wingette). So yeah, the wing experience here seemed a little skimpy to me. I'd happily pay and extra dollar or two for six wings, thick cuts of celery and some house made ranch or blue cheese to dip them in. On another note, one of my fellow Yelpers ordered some fried chicken and it looked/smelled fantastic. I'm going that route next time. Overall, I did like the vibe of Tracks and will definitely be back. read more

Food--Small menu, but I do think most places try to do too many dishes. Stick to what you can do well. Track's does that. Moist, juicy broasted chicken (I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever tasted...or the best in the world...but good), decent burgers, and refreshing homemade coleslaw. Bar food at its finest. They boast about their homemade cocktails (no mixes apparently) but I didn't find anything that suited by fancy so I went with an oatmeal porter that was slammin. We went on a Wednesday night, and didn't realize that we'd be treated to free entertainment. :) A local band came in after a while. I'd never heard of them, but they were pretty good! The guy serving our food was nice but didn't portray a service attitude at all. I don't mind casual, but he didn't make us a priority. We didn't feel like we were the reason he was there...he seemed more interested in hanging out with coworkers and texting. That's really the low point of this experience. Location--It wasn't hard really to find, but I did go around the block because I wasn't sure it was the right place. It is indeed next to Jonsey's Tacos. read more
