Champing at the bit for more places in town to sit down and have a bite to eat? Your patience will be rewarded this year. Here’s a look at the fast-food chains and sit-down restaurants coming to Maricopa in 2022 and beyond, including a fine dining establishment ranked 5th on Yelp’s list of the Top 100 Places to Eat in the United States.
Chili’s Grill & Bar
Location: The Wells, tentatively
Anticipated opening: November
What to expect: A real estate broker for the fast-casual chain restaurant says Chili’s has committed to building a restaurant in Maricopa. The tentative location is at Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway and Stonegate Road at The Wells, next to Jiffy Lube. A favorite in local Facebook discussions about the most-desired restaurants in the city, Chili’s offers American food, Tex-Mex cuisine and dishes influenced by Mexican cuisine. The 5,700-square-foot restaurant constructed here might be a new prototype design that features more exterior glass.
