My boyfriend and I stopped in today for lunch on our way home from Payson after a recommendation from a friend. Loved the decor, the waitress, Kim P, was very friendly and attentive. My boyfriend ordered the carne asada tacos, while I had the chicken and rice soup and a chicken quesadilla with green chile. Everything was very good and we even found a shortcut to get back over to Gila Bend! We WILL be back!!! Â The quesadilla was HUGE so my boyfriend had to take one for the team and finish off 3/4th of it for me.

Ambience/décor.
- Great music played on a decent sound system combined with an eclectic mixture of antiques, old license plates etc. couple of pool tables in the back, and outside dining, all make for a fun, hospitable vibe!
Service.
- We're guessing our young waitress the late shift the night before because she was seemed to be dragging and lacked any enthusiasm. While friendly, once we got our food she never saw her again until it was time to pay.
Food.
- The better-half's chicken tenders ($7) were OK, to me they seemed over-breaded and I'm guessing they were frozen. The accompanying fries were very good!
- My Philly Cheese Steak ($9) was excellent! A fresh roll contained thinly sliced strip steak with peppers, onions, mushrooms, and melted mozzarella - absolutely delicious. I substituted the fries for a garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette which was good, but nothing remarkable.
Beverages.
- We tried their two dark draft beers, and both were very good. We thought it odd that they don't have a beer menu as their website advertises over a dozen beers on tap.
Location.
- About ten minutes from Maricopa it is a very easy drive, and easy to find. My only wish is that they would move to Maricopa!
A group of about 15 of us stopped in to the Raceway when we were out for a ride. Â With only a few people in the restaurant and bar, I would have expected the wait staff to be all over us asking Us what we needed. Â Instead we had to go looking for Them repeatedly to order anything. ...very frustrating.
Review Source:We drove 11 miles from our home in Maricopa to try out Raceway Bar & Grill. The atmosphere was fun, country, down-home, and comfortable. We enjoyed all the antique signs and the personal touches, right down to the old chairs that had seen better days.
The food was just OK - we paid $11.99 each for fish 'n chips, and substituted onion rings for the fries ($1 upcharge) and skipped the jalapeno coleslaw. We paid about $2.50 for a refillable Diet Coke, which tasted odd, like the water had come out of an unfiltered well. The fish was fine - several long, squarish strips of white fish (cod?) that was tender and breaded just right. The onion rings were overdone, and it was hard to find the strip of onion under the heavy, hard breading. I wouldn't order them again.
Bottom line: the place was interesting, the service was GREAT, and we may go back to try the burgers and fries. Just not the onion rings, which is a shame, cuz we'd drive quite a ways for really good rings. We would like to support a locally owned business!
We love Raceway Bar and Grill.
My fiancé and I found this bar about four years ago when we were living in Maricopa. It's approximately two miles south of Harrah's and a mile west on Papago Road. You can drive your car, your motorcycle or even ride your horse to this grill.
It's a very eclectic place with old signs and memorabilia all over you can even find an old phone booth.
Great place to have a few beers (if you're not driving) watch a game or NASCAR, play some pool or listen to some music.
The food is typical bar fare but good. We particularly enjoy the fish tacos and the Candied Pecan & Craisin Harvest Salad of course the pizza and burgers are also excellent.
Next time you want something to eat and you are in Maricopa stop by you won't be disappointed and you will have fun too.
