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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tracks has the best wings in Omaha by far!!!!!! Everytime l come it's mad lit!! And the food is amazing! read more

Hands down, some of the best bar food in Omaha! The bar itself is a dive and you can tell the staff and ownership do the best they can in keeping its authenticity. There are numerous photos and memoirs from when the old horse track was in town, hence the name. Very charming, very cozy. As far as the food, gosh, it's truly the best. They're known for their wings, but the tots, sliders and cauliflower are wonderful as well. Unlike a lot of bar food in Omaha, you can be completely sober and still enjoy it tremendously :) A tip: You will probably need an antacid after. Worth it. read more

A friend and I were on a search for the best chicken wings in Omaha and stumbled upon this place. The wings were crispy and hot. The sauce was great and just the right amount of spicy. We were pleasantly surprised! read more

World's Best Chicken. It says so on the sign. True? It is my relatively informed opinion that Track's has the best chicken in Omaha. I have not had fried chicken in the South so I assume there is better chicken in its ancestral home. The chicken is broasted. That means juicy and very hot. That's the key to Track's claim to being the best. It has a good and salty flavor. Man craves salt like he craves love. My review would be incomplete without a comment on price. Yeah, the price is high but the value is there. I suppose the relatively high prices are justified by the small number of tables. The space itself is tiny, cozy and charming. It is essentially a large basement in an old house. Historic. A final word. As good as the chicken is, the dessert is way better. The dessert is outstanding. Sweet and salty. I had several helpings. I will return for the dessert alone. Just love it! 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

Was at this bars patio on Sunday and want to compliment the waitstaff and bartenders on how they handled a very unruly table that made the whole patio uncomfortable. This table was screaming at the staff and treating them so rudely but the staff was nothing but professional even when the large party tried to walk out with out paying their ticket. This group even tried to say they could sue me for bringing my dog on the patio when it was clearly a dog friendly patio. The way the staff handled this party while still serving a full bar was very impressive and we will definitely be coming back! read more

I hear this place has a lot of omahaian history in the atmosphere. Something about a race track. I don't know about all of that but I do know that they have pretty good fried chicken. The sign out front beckons you to come in and try the world's best chicken at least once. Went here on NYE and it was easy to get into. The service was kind of slow but the crew was downright friendly. read more

Tracks is easily my favorite bar in Omaha, which is saying something. They have the best fryer and their Mac and cheese bites are phenomenal. The cheese curds are the best around. The chicken is the best in the game too. If you're there to watch your baseball or basketball team on tv? They'll accommodate to you as well. I absolutely love this bar and feel like it's a second home to me. Whether you're up there for just a night cap, dinner or a night with your friends, this is THE Aksarben spot. The juke box is great, the crowd makes it, and regardless who is behind the bar, you're guaranteed to have a great server. There's nothing quite like sitting out on 60th on the patio with my closest friends. Oh, and for all the females out there... The bathroom is clean and the door shuts! Sign up for their loyal customer card if uo plan on being here a lot. Every $100 spent = free drink (yippee!) read more

Tracks Lounge - Love this place! Scott is a great bartender! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Food was fantastic... service also was also great they were polite and will surely recommend this place..

The best wings in Omaha. Period. End of story. If you are from out of town, make sure you do order your wings char buffed if you are unfamiliar with the concept. The pickled jalapeños you can add to your wings are a nice feature if you like them hot. Be warned it's a tiny bar, so often can get crowded. Does feature a nice patio on the front end, which is usually filled most weekend nights. read more

wings we're a 10/10 stopped by from out of town and the burgers were good as well you wont regret it !

This bar was very unprofessional, I had their wings before and they were good but they have a file taste in my mouth after this last visit. They had a fly infestation in the building so we moved outside. The customers were allowed to have dogs and the hair was flying on us and our food. If I had been allergic that would've been a lawsuit. Lastly we waited over and hour and half for food that came out cold. They were not busy and were not cleaning the tables either. read more

This place is AMAZING!! The waitstaff is best of the best!! Their wings are fire!!! if you're looking for a great environment with awesome food then check this place out!!! read more

"Best Fried Chicken" while I can not say it was the best I can say it was finger licking good! What I love most about Tracks is how much of a home it is to so many in the neighborhood. Love how there are people who have been coming here for 20 years and those of us who have merely just discovered. Prices are fair and drinks are stiff. My kind of place and my kind of people. read more

Best hamburger sliders and fried chicken in the Aksarben area! Currently, they are doing take out only but I am waiting patiently for them to re open so I can experience that Tracks lounge fun. It's like a gem hidden on 60th street that I never knew existed until I moved in the neighborhood! Keep up the great work Tracks and we miss you! read more
