A Hidden Gem Down a Dirt Road
Rating: 5/5 stars
I’ve been to my fair share of greasy spoons, but none have compared to this hometown gem. Located down a dirt road, you’d expect a rough-around-the-edges kind of place, but what you get is so much more. As soon as you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warm smiles that set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.
The kitchen is run by generations of family members, each one bringing their own love and dedication to every meal. The original cook is a master of her craft, pouring her heart and soul into every dish that comes out of the kitchen. Watching her move around the kitchen with what appears to be her great-grandchildren is a beautiful sight – it’s clear that values are being passed down through the generations.
What sets this place apart is the palpable sense of love and passion that goes into every meal. You can feel it in the atmosphere, and it’s reflected in the food, which is cooked to perfection every time. This isn’t just a meal – it’s an experience that leaves you feeling full and grateful.
I’ve written many reviews, but this one is my favorite thus far. If you’re looking for a truly special dining experience, look no further. This hidden gem is worth driving down that dirt road for.

Yummy and friendly! The building is a bit dated but we enjoyed looking at the photos of famous horses, jockeys, drivers and riders. The dining room really needs a face-lift after a good cleaning. The building is just old and unkempt. For horsemen though, its just fine.

100% local character!!!! Greasy Spoon at its finest. Only one person working , she told me she’s been cooking there since 1978!!
This place sits right next to the race track and serves a good cooked yo order breakfast.
Fun place to go. The walls are covered with vintage photos, news stories and plaques.
LOVE the homey feel-when we were told to step behind the counter to “take a cup and get your coffee”.

This place has been around since 1957, and it looks like that! It has a very unique feel to it and definitely is just a hole in the wall, type of shack diner. It’s located right smack dab in the middle of Aikens Horse District. It’s just a very open floor plan with peeling paint pretty much everywhere. There’s a huge amount of history up on the walls dealing with horse racing, especially in the Aiken area. The kitchen kind of gives you a grandma’s kitchen feel. We understand that this is a very local Patron restaurant. There was a nice elderly lady working the kitchen and she took our order. Looks like she pretty much makes everything from scratch and told us that since we ordered hot cakes, it would take a while for them to come out. And that was quite true! Matter of fact, 3 other gentlemen came in, ordered eggs and bacon, got their food, ate it, and left before we still got ours. A nice gentleman wheeled our food out to us on a tray and gave us all our food. We were pretty happy with everything, I thought They had some of the best grits I’ve ever had.
Do be aware that:
Cash Only
Need to bus yourself
Can go into the kitchen to refill your water or coffee.
If you like divy type places, this is a must go for you. If you’re a horse person, it’s also a great place to check out. I’m not sure if I would make it a regular, but I could see myself eating here again.

Very unique Aiken experience. A country kitchen located in the middle of the horse district of Aiken. You will mostly find locals but they are all very friendly. Food was good and the horse racing pictures on the wall are interesting.
PRO TIPS:
– Cash only
– Be nice and bus your tables
– The “Do Not Enter” sign into the kitchen is optional. Want a coffee refill, go get it

My wife and her horse have been spending Jan, Feb, and March in Aiken for past ten years. This year I came along. She had been singing the praises of the Track Kitchen. The food was good, the service was good, and the ambiance relaxed. Strangers became friends as we sll shared two passions, horses and grits.

Delicious basic breakfast that was perfectly cooked. Lots of memorabilia on the walls to look at. It’s a “track kitchen” not fine dining. Go for the food and unique atmosphere.
