Phoenix’s Best Restaurant and Bar Patios for Outdoor Dining | Eater Phoenix

"Connect with Arizona’s farming roots by dining outdoors at this rehabbed ranch-style house, which was owner Joe Johnston’s former childhood home. One edge of the property still backs up to cultivated fields (now devoted to urban organic farming), but the old place has been transformed into a ’60s-era burger stand, bordered by a sprawling lawn, a towering shade tree, and picnic tables. Although Joe’s was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, there’s a fresh slant to its menu, which makes use of fruit, veggies, and herbs harvested from the Farm at Agritopia. Besides eight different burgers, choices include chicken and waffles, crispy Brussels sprouts, corn fritters, and an ahi tuna sandwich with wasabi mayo." - McConnell Quinn
