| - Joe's Farm Grill is a jewel on the southeast side of the Valley. From the retro 60's farm decor to the reuse of the old farm buildings to the top-notch food, Joe's is worth a trip from any part of town.
My wife and I had been to Liberty Market, one of Joe Johnston's other restaurants and we wanted to try Joe's Farm Grill. After a trip to Schnepf Farms, we decided it was a good opportunity to try Joe's for lunch.
I had a Fontina burger with fries and I was highly impressed. The burger itself was juicy and flavorful, without being greasy. The meat itself is lightly season with a mixture of herbs and spices, probably including salt, pepper and thyme, but I don't know for sure. Regardless, it made for a great patty. The mushrooms, red pepper, and arugula on the burger were fresh and yummy. I would have gone a little lighter on the pesto spread, but it was good, so I won't nitpick too much.
The fries were done just right, cut to a good size with the skin on and fried to perfection...crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My wife had garlic fries with her meal and claimed they were the best garlic fries she's ever had. I tried some and I'm inclined to agree. The garlic seasoning mixture was done very well and wasn't loaded too heavily on the fries, nor was it too skimpy.
I look forward to returning to Joe's for many meals in the future, especially for a breakfast.
