Dining At The Races
Since 1872, Fair Grounds Race Course has been woven into the cultural fabric of New Orleans. Our newly reimagined Clubhouse by Messina’s elevates the tradition of enjoying exceptional dining while taking in the excitement of live horse racing.
This season marks an exciting refresh to our clubhouse experience: Messina’s Catering is now the exclusive food and beverage partner of the Fair Grounds Clubhouse. Featuring a daily buffet and the signature hospitality Messina’s is known for, Clubhouse by Messina’s is poised to become one of New Orleans’ favorite destinations for race-day dining.

Purchasing tickets in advance is recommended in the Clubhouse Dining Room as space is limited.
Dress Code: Men must wear collared shirts. No shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops, or sweatsuits allowed.
