Dawson's On Main

06/18/2026

Twenty years ago, Dawson’s on Main opened its doors with a simple goal: serve good food, create a welcoming place, and be part of this amazing community.

Over the last 20 years, we’ve watched families grow, celebrated milestones, welcomed race fans from around the world, and shared countless meals, laughs, and memories. Many of you have been with us from the very beginning, while others have become part of the Dawson’s family along the way.

Every May, we look forward to seeing familiar faces return to Speedway. Every week, we’re grateful for our regulars who continue to choose us. And every day, we’re thankful for the incredible staff, past and present, who have helped make Dawson’s what it is today.

On Saturday, June 27th, we’d love for you to celebrate with us as we mark 20 Years on Main.

🏁 Throwback Menu Specials
🎸 Live Music by Slap Daddy
✨ And More

📅 Saturday, June 27
⏰ 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for 20 incredible years of support, friendship, and memories. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to the next lap around the sun. ❤️

To our incredible customers, race fans, and the entire Speedway community, thank you for another unforgettable Month of May.

Being just a block away from the track means we get to experience the energy, tradition, and excitement in a way that never gets old. Every May brings familiar faces back through our doors, new memories made, and a reminder of how special this town truly is.

The Month of May is extraordinary in so many ways, but none of it would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our amazing team. It takes an incredible amount of effort, energy, and heart to prepare for and execute these busy weeks, and we are beyond grateful for every single person who helped make it happen.

To everyone who stopped in, supported us, shared a meal, or made us part of your race weekend tradition, thank you. To our regulars and locals, thank you for supporting us year-round and helping make this place feel like home every day. And to our yearly race fans, we already can’t wait to welcome you back next May.

The most exciting time of the year always seems to fly by in a flash, and we truly appreciate everyone who made this month so special. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
