I n September, Maricopa’s Parks and Recreation Committee got the first look at a Restaurant Row concept that could anchor a new park complex around city hall. The culinary strip would line Bowlin Road, just south of the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center. The concept may include some East Valley favorites like West Alley BBQ, Ghett Yo Taco, Ginger Monkey Gastropub, Over Easy and Puro Lounge. Maricopans want BBQ and brunch options. In October, a reader poll showed Maricopans would gleefully welcome a new barbecue or brunch spot to town. InMaricopa asked readers which Restaurant Row candidate whets their appetite the most. Nearly half of voters said they’re most excited for a new smokehouse, voting for West Alley BBQ. Coming in a close second was Over Easy, an Instagram-worthy brunchery that gathered 40% of votes. “Over Easy would be awesome,” local resident Angelina Havermahl said. Maricopans were least excited about an urban taqueria coming to town. Ghett’Yo Taco claimed just 6% of votes.
