If you are looking for a bite to eat before or after your trip to Philadelphia Park Racetrack, you’ll find yourself spoiled for choice. The stretch of Street Road around the racetrack is thickly populated with both chain and independent restaurants suitable for all budgets. You’re sure to find something to suit your tastes.
Chickie’s and Pete’s Crab House has been voted “The Best Place to Watch the Game” by Philadelphia Magazine and “Best Seafood” by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Chickie’s and Pete’s serves only a few dishes that aren’t crab related. Expect a friendly, casual bar atmosphere and a moderately priced menu of seasonal crab choices. Located within the Philadelphia Park and Parx Casino complex, the restaurant also boasts Play2, an interactive sports bar where you can challenge your friends to a big-screen game of PlayStation 3 or Ninetendo Wii.
