Fontina in Foenix

As part of our family's vacation in the Phoenix area Wednesday was scheduled as a spa day for the girls and a visit to Desert Valley Auto Parts and a burger at Joe's Farm Grill for the guys.
My nails looked fine.
Joe's was recommended by a friend from Waukesha WI. They saw it on Diners, Dives and Drive Inns.
I never heard of Fontina cheese before I saw it listed on the menu at Joe's.
The description read like this:
6 oz., roasted red pepper, grilled mushrooms, field greens, farm made pecan pesto and imported fontina cheese
Wow, what a combo. If the burger is good to great, these flavors are going to make it outstanding.
The place was packed when we got there. Maybe not too surprising, it was around 1:15PM. Upside of a crowd, fresh food!
We put in our orders and then took a seat outside in the little grove of trees out back of the restaurant. The farm was our back drop.
A short time later, the buzzer went off. Time to find out.
Fries and onion rings looked excellent. The burger, stacked and beautiful. I snitched  a piece of just burger off the one side. Mmm. Pretty tasty. A little overcooked for my liking but, seasoned nicely. As I thought, the flavors all really came together.
The price was a bit steep but, it's really fresh everything. I won't pick at it too much. The staff was very helpful. They seemed to understand that not everyone has been to Joe's before. The outside area was clean and really just a great place to sit and take in the scene.

4 of 5.
Price and a little too done had an effect on my rating.
