Guide Review - Joe's Farm Grill
Don't worry--there is indoor seating (crowded and pretty loud) when it is hot outside. Here's how it works. Grab a menu. There are so many choices! Place your order, get a beeper, and wait at your table until your food is ready for pickup. Grab your tray, head outside to the condiment and beverage bar, and then find a seat and enjoy.
Today we ordered the BBQ Bacon Blue Burger ($9), the signature BBQ Chicken Pizza ($9), the Grilled Peanut Butter sandwich with bananas, chocolate chips, pineapple and strawberries ($6). Even though I'm a traditional pizza lover, I loved this pizza. Not too much barbecue sauce, thin crust, and an unusual shape. Plenty for one person; share it and a couple of sides or a salad with a friend. The burger was very good. The garlic fries ($4) with fresh herbs were addictive, and not overly greasy--no excess olive oil sat in the bottom of the paper tray.
I glanced around the dining room and many people were ordering salads. Did I feel guilty? No, but they looked good. You see, Joe's Farm Grill obtains many of its vegetables and ingredients from the farm out the back door, and most of it is organic.
The chocolate milk shake ($4) was thick and plenty, and the small Fresh Berry Sundae ($3), in a 12 oz cup, was the delicious bargain of the day!
I'll definitely be back, but I won't order the fried peanut butter and fruit sandwich....
If you are in Gilbert in the evening, just stop in for ice cream or a milk shake or malt, and enjoy it in their park-like outdoor setting. Aaahhhh.
