If you get a hankering for a cheeseburger from Joe’s Farm Grill on Wednesday, you’ll have to move fast.
The airy, retro eatery in the middle of a shady grove will give out 4,000 free lunches from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to mark its fourth anniversary and say thank you to customers.
Last year, the restaurant served more than 5,500 people. A similar crowd, waiting in a line that snakes out the door, around the building and down the sidewalk, is expected for Wednesday’s deal, which includes a hot-off-the-grill cheeseburger, French fries and a canned soda or bottled water. There’s also a table full of trimmings — lettuce, tomato, onions pickles and condiments — to deck out your burger.
To get the free meal you must be in line by 3 p.m. No phone orders will be taken. The restaurant will not serve breakfast or dinner on Wednesday, but will be back to its normal operating hours and menus beginning 8 a.m. Thursday.
Joe’s Farm Grill has been featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” It uses produce from a 12-acre urban farm right outside its front door.

So, I am familiar with the place, but why are they feeding the upper class free? They could be real patriots and serve vets or anyone in the service free first. There are also vet homes and a hospital where they could serve vets. Those who have jobs get free food but those who are struggling or fought for our country or are fighting for our country - stand in line for hours. This is crazy.
I am not that needy (I live on a fixed income and ate at this place) but I won't be won't be one of the greedy people in line. I'll eat a can of beans before I stand in line with greedy people who have a stockpile of food. That area is not hurting.
