Well, I'm clearly missing something here. This is the second "Joe's" restaurant I've been to now and I remain less than impressed.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't OMFG great either.

So we had a caprese sandwich and what they called a liberty sandwich.

Ok so for the caprese sandwich. Cheese, good. Tomato, good. Basil, good. Bread, not good. For whatever reason they toasted the bread to the point of it being a crouton. Really?? It was supposed to be a panini type sandwich, but it comes out like a crouton?? For all the hype behind this place you'd think they could toast a piece of bread. I mean I can and I don't even run a restaurant.

Ok, on to the liberty sandwich, which is actually a turkey sandwich with green apples, candied walnuts, bleu cheese and red pepper aioli. Good news, they didn't toast the bread so it actually came out pretty good. Turkey was good. As for the combination of all the ingredients...not so much. I get someone sat down and put this all together and somewhere along the line thought it was a good idea but in reality, too many competing textures, too many competing flavors.

Both sandwiches came with potato salad...not bad...but I didn't come here to eat potato salad.

Now having said the above, the place was as busy as a Greyhound bus terminal (lunch time). So is this place as good as everyone says it is? Or is it me? Here's what I'm thinking, it's just ok. People give it way more credit because it's in the old part of Gilbert and as such makes it extra "cool." Well, just like you can't eat ambiance, you can't eat cool.
Output:
3 stars
