If the recession is hurting the Valley’s restaurant industry, it’s not readily apparent at Joe’s Farm Grill in Gilbert.
More than a dozen customers are standing in line to place their orders at the window of the retro-looking burger stand on Wednesday night.
Outside on the grassy grounds, picnic tables are filled with families devouring hamburgers, hot dogs and milkshakes.
“We’re sometimes surprised there’s a recession because we see so many people eating out at restaurants,” says Kristina, a 30-something mother of two who declined to give her last name.
