Ok, so my favorite casual there is Mexican Connection. If you like Mexican food, this place is fantastic and is quite reasonable price wise as well. It is on Nelson just past the track headed towards the harness track. A darkhorse that I really love is Karavalli on Caroline St. Really good Indian food and generally not too full even on busy nights because people are afraid of Indian food. Many people seem to like Mama Mia's for Italian out in the shopping center on Balston Spa Rd. I do not like it that much personally as i would prefer to go to some higher end Italian places, but to be fair i should mention it. There's always a place like the Olde Bryan. Nothing spectacular but you will find something you like. I find that sort of dining boring, but that's me. Of the Broadway bar-ish places with food, I like Druthers the best. Stadium and Circus have just had way too poor service too many times for me to even consider going to them during the racing season. Also fairly casual that I have liked a lot are Boca Bistro on Broadway, which is primarily Spanish, Phila Fusion (on Phila of course), which is Asian fusion and closest you will get to decent Chinese in town and I was very surprised by Scallions on Lake, which is American fare that tends more vegetable but is not strictly a vegetarian place. If you decide to go to Hattie's do not order anything other that the fried chicken and corn on the cob (which are great) as the rest they have is pretty poor. Honestly I would skip it and just get some chicken at the track if you really want some.
