Joe's is a great place! The menu has healthy options, local ingredients, and is very tasty! The history of the building (at one time a house/residence) is cool too. There is indoor and outdoor seating, which is really nice during the cooler months in AZ. The set up is different than many restaurants. It seems to me to be a hybrid of a cafeteria and a restaurant - definitely casual.
Patrons wait in line (snakes around and out the door like an amusement park) to place their order at the window. Laminated menus are provided for perusal while in line. Once the order at the window is placed & paid for, then seats and drinks are next. Seating inside is limited to a side room that seats approx 40-50 and a long pub height table near the line to order. Additional seating is located outside in a "back yard" with shade trees, picnic tables and some tables with chairs. Soda fountains are also located outside.
The ordering and pick up area for the food tends to get congested. There seems to always be a line...which is a testament to the food! It's a local favorite. Family friendly. Healthy and flavorful options. Price range is $10-$15 per person (including beverage). On your birthday bring your ID and they'll give $10 toward your meal for your birthday!! That's always nice, right?
I've enjoyed everything I've ordered here - ever. So despite the congestion I will come back. The quality & consistency make it worth it.
