| - This is probably one of the places our family loves coming to the most. I know there's always a line that many complain about, but it's not because Joe's has a poorly run kitchen or skimps on their service. It's because it's arguably the most unique and popular of restaurants in the East Valley.
My "go to" item here is the Bleu Cheese Bacon burger. My wife and I are fairly enthusiastic foodies, and I can say without reservations that that burger is the best I've ever tasted. After a few years I started asking for extra bleu cheese on it because it seemed the longer they've been around, the more stingy they are on it. And that stuff, which I think is homemade, is what makes that burger. They also have sweet potato fries with pineapple salsa that my wife raves about. Every once in a while I get a yummy chocolate shake too.
This place was also featured on The Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives," and they definitely are good and proud of it. TVs are everywhere showing the episode on repeat, even in the bathroom. (Something that while cool, I think patrons make a bigger deal out of than necessary. Nothing against the restaurant though; I just laugh when people go crazy over a tv in the bathroom. If it was playing the Suns game on it, then maybe you can freak out.)
Once or maybe twice a year they do customer appreciation day and give out free burgers all afternoon. This restaurant has a loyal following and I think it's pretty cool for a business to show value in it's customers in such a manner. With that being said, I NEVER go to Joe's on "Free Day." You think the lines are bad on a normal day? They're ridiculous on Free Day, requiring even DPS traffic control to maintain some sense of order. What people won't do for a free handout! My time is worth more than saving 7 bucks on a burger. Just to make a statement to all the freeloaders (and I say that in the nicest way possible, hardy har) that show up, I'd love to come in on Free Day and pay double the normal price for the burger if it meant cutting the line or something. Not saying it should happen, but it'd be funny. But that says more about people in general than Joe's, and again, I commend them for valuing the community like that. I think one year we arrived at Joe's not realizing it was Free day, and all I could say was "Ah crap." lol.
Joe's is the best. I'm telling ya, try the Bleu Cheese Bacon burger, and make sure to ask for extra bleu cheese on it, even if they charge for it. It's SOOOOOOO good!
And if you "Like" their Facebook page, you'll get all their announcements, including the year's "Free Day," so that you know when NOT to go to Joe's, which should be the only time you shouldn't. I haven't had their breakfast yet, but I hear it's equally thrilling.
