The Chuck Box in Tempe 1/3/2012

I had the most wonderful experience at the Chuck Box. Not only was the food cooked perfectly delightful, but the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Aslo, the rustic nature of their establishment was very appealing! I would definetly be a repeat customer there. Staff members such as Rod, Andy, Ken and Will are usually working when I go and make a great burger! I highly recommend the Big Juan with guacamole, bacon, and pepperjack! Go there or you are missing out! more

Great burgers, but dirty restaurant 8/24/2008

I went to Chuckbox after not having been there for probably 20+ years. I used to eat there a lot when I was a student at ASU in the late '70's. I was excited to eat there after so long, but I was disgusted by the fry cook, first off. He had a cell phone right next to the grill that he kept picking up and texting on (we all know how germy those cell phones are!) and then he would proceed to handle the hamburger buns with his bare hands. Also, the condiment bar was bare, to say the least, and didn't look very clean, either. The hamburger was tasty, but I was afraid I might get sick after eating there. Luckily, I didn't, but I was disappointed that it wasn't more clean. I think if a Health Dept. official had walked in right then, he or she would have closed the place down on the spot! Too bad, because the hamburgers are still yummy! Pros: Delicious chargrilled burgers Cons: Dirty restaurant and unsanitary fpractices of ry cook more

Good Food 6/16/2008

This place has really good food i only had their burgers and fries. I would recommend take out for this place since the atmosphere is not so pretty and seats are VERY uncomfortable, and its very warm inside which also makes it even more uncomfortable. Pros: Really Good Food Cons: Hot and Uncomfortable Seats more

The dirtiest resturant i have ever been inside of. 5/9/2008

Beyond any doubt this was the dirtiest and most unkept resturant i have ever seen. The dirt and grime can be scraped off of every surface in a thick paste. I cannot believe that the County has not shut this once proud institution down. If there is any doubt to my claim go see for yourself. Take a good look around before you order. Wash that burger down with a nice bottle of Pepto cause you are gonna need it.. Pros: It used to be a good place to go 10 years ago. Cons: The dirtiest, most disgusting resturant i have ever seen !!! more

Great burgers and fries 11/15/2006

The Chuckbox has the best hamburgers in town. The condiment bar is varied and plentiful. The cheeseburgers and fries with a Coke are a great lunch. The only drawback is that the ordering is slightly intimidating as 'fry cooks' kind of yell at you from behind the grill. Pros: Food Cons: Ordering more

Burger Heaven! 7/22/2005

I've been eating at the Chuckbox since the 70's and it is still the best burger joint in town. The burgers are cooked over mesquite before your very eyes and have that delicious, smokey flavor. After adding whatever you want at the condiment station, settle in with a cold beer and watch the ASU coeds file by. I used to arrange an hour between classes at ASU, just so I could eat there for lunch. Years after graduating, I still love the place! I am getting hungry just thinking about it! See 'ya there! Pros: mesquite grilled, cold beer, fast and convenient more

Still the best 7/18/2004

Used to go to the Chuckbox on University when I went to ASU. Still go there when I can (visiting), although I live a few thousand miles away. Cheap, good, solid chow, not like the frou-frou generoburger chains. I appreciate the ambience at Johnny Rockets but they have one in airports, what's more generic than that? With Chuckbox you get an original. Pros: Quality, Quantity, Ambience more

Good as home grilled! 8/20/2002

These burgers have been consistently flavorful and juicy for 30 years. Quick service and lots of condiments make this a favorite place for family outings. The price is very reasonable and the atmosphere perfect for kids, or a date on a budget. Pros: Taste, Inexpensive more
