Red Shores Dining Options: What to Expect at Charlottetown and Summerside

Red Shores operates four unique dining locations across its two Prince Edward Island properties — three at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino in Charlottetown and one at Red Shores at Summerside. Both properties emphasize local foods and a professional culinary team, and at Charlottetown you can bet on the horses right from your table while you eat. If you're deciding where to eat, the main split is between Charlottetown's larger, track-facing dining setup (including a buffet in a three-tier dining room overlooking the historic horse track) and Summerside's single, locally popular West End Bar & Grill.

Dining at Red Shores Charlottetown

Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at Charlottetown Driving Park (58 Kensington Road, attached to Eastlink Centre) is described as a year-round entertainment property in the heart of Charlottetown. Its dining offering includes:

• Three on-site restaurant options — the most dining choices of the two properties.
• A buffet in a three-tier dining room — presented by an award-winning culinary team and overlooking the historic horse track. The site notes you "likely haven't experienced a buffet like this."
• Track-side betting from your table — you can bet on the horses without leaving your seat.

The Charlottetown property also includes live harness racing with a climate-controlled grandstand, a casino with slots and live table games, pari-mutuel betting, and an enhanced simulcast racing theatre — so dining can be combined with a full race day or casino visit.

Dining at Red Shores Summerside

Red Shores at Summerside (55 Greenwood Drive, attached to Credit Union Place) has a single dining location:

• West End Bar & Grill — described as a popular dining spot for both locals and visitors to the island.

The Summerside property sits next to Credit Union Place at Summerside Raceway, which the site says is believed to be the oldest continuously raced horse track in Canada. The gaming floor there has recently completed renovations and offers a mix of VLTs in a new modern destination. If you're in Summerside, the West End Bar & Grill is the on-site dining option; for a wider choice of restaurants and the track-view buffet, Charlottetown is the property to visit.

How to Choose Between the Two

Choose Charlottetown if you want the widest dining selection, the track-view buffet, or to combine a meal with table games and simulcast racing. Choose Summerside if you're already in that area or visiting Credit Union Place and want a straightforward bar-and-grill meal alongside VLT play.

Practical Notes

• Local focus: Both properties highlight local foods and a professional culinary team, so expect Island ingredients rather than a generic casino menu.
• Hours and contact: The site lists a "Hours + Contact" section but does not publish specific dining hours in the available content — check the Red Shores site directly before planning a meal around a race or event.
• Promotions: Red Shores maintains a Promotions and Events page and a Rewards Club that offers benefits each time you play, which may be worth checking if you plan to dine and game in the same visit.
• PlayWise: The site includes a PlayWise responsible-gaming section (What is PlayWise, How the Games Work, Assess Your Play, Break In Play, Helpful Resources) if you want to understand the gaming side before your visit.
