| - I first heard about this place from my dad in Arlington, Tx. He had seen an episode of Diner's, Drive Ins, and Dives, and thought the food looked really good. Since my brother was in town, I thought going to eat here would be something to do in my dad's memory. I had also seen the Diner's, Drive Ins, and Dives show about this place and thought it looked worth a try. After reading some of the reviews I must say I believe they are buying into some of the hype created by the aforementioned show. We went around noon, so we expected it to be busy, but the line to order was like standing in line waiting to board an amusement ride, as you circle through metal line dividers. You grab your menus from a menu holder up by the window. You figure this out on your own by the way. So after about a 20 minute wait, we get to the window. The woman taking our order could have cared less. Her hair was long (past her shoulders) and not tied back, or clipped up which I think isn't a good idea working around all that food. She was obviously not having a good day and got the order wrong. I didn't realize the order was wrong until we were outside at the fountain drink place. Thankfully my daughter went back inside to clarify the order. There was another line at the fountain drinks/condiments area, but again, it was lunch time. They give you a beeper that signals when your food was ready. Our beeper went off, we gathered our food, and went to sit inside. There were plenty of people sitting outside, but being that it's June in Arizona, inside felt a lot better. This was especially true for my brother visiting from Seattle. He had almost melted in Texas due to the humidity, lol. My daughter had the grilled cheese, and sweet potato fries. She liked them both. My brother had the farm burger, and I ordered the barbecue chicken pizza. We ordered garlic fries, and onion rings on the side for all of us to sample. The pizza was ok. Granted I expected it to be phenomenal after watching the TV show, but it was just ok. The garlic fries, and onion rings were good. My brother said the farm burger was good as well. Now, the dark chocolate shake was heavenly! I ordered one of these as my dad loved chocolate shakes. He would have loved it. It is a cute place to eat as it's has such a retro feel to it, but the line was something my dad would not have enjoyed. After looking at some of the pics reviewing this restaurant, and reading the reviews, I think breakfast here looks really worth a try. The food is good but the experience was a little lacking.
FOLLOW UP-ALL IS GOOD. Truly a business shouldn't be judged by one less than stellar experience. I still haven't tried breakfast yet but plan to do so soon. Joe's Farm Grill is a breath of fresh air and originality in a world of chain franchises.
