The fire wood grill is absolutely a wonder. The flavor of the burger is definitely enhanced by it. We got a few of the great big one burgers and they were very flavorful and you can choose what you put on your burger which is nice. The hotdog was okay nothing crazy but the burgers were for sure above average. I recommend it for sure.

My nail tech told me abt this place when I told her I was going to Tempe. OMG one of my top 5 burgers in life. The flavor from the wood is AMAZING. Burger isn’t salty. It stays busy but the employees are efficient and have it down to a science. Mushrooms were amazing Going bk before I drive bk to Vegas. Make sure you have cash

Nice little place. People make it more than it is, but it’s good. Minimal topping selection in the buffet..simply lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Of course condiments as well, but he basical 3.
$50 for 4 burgers, 2 fry, and 1 drink.
Plan accordingly, the line went out the door!

We had a great lunch. Super simple spot with a limited menu that is all good. We tried a few items and I was pleased with everything. The condiments and all add ons are offered up in a salad bar setting letting you build your perfect burger. We live out of town but will definitely be coming back when we pass through the area again.

Went here for lunch. This place is pretty cool; it’s an old Western-looking building in the middle of high-rises. ️ The way you order is different: you wait and watch your burger get cooked on the flame grill until it’s done. Then you move down the line, get your fries and drinks, and pay. The guy at the register didn’t seem like the nicest guy, but hey, I was there to eat, not make friends. The burger was very big and delicious. They have a bar with all the fixings you need to make a masterpiece. This is one of the best places in town for hamburgers; it reminds me a lot of Bunhuggers in Flagstaff, another flame-grilled burger joint we love. ❤️ I highly recommend this place: no glitz, no glimmer, just great burgers!

Part of why I come back to Tempe…
Have been coming for 40 years and just as good as my memory said it was… onion rings are to die for. Had the roasted green chilies with pepper Jack cheese
Awesome sauce!

I think I randomly found this place looking for 4.5 stars and up near the airport.

Wow, it’s amazing!

They yell toward the back of the line to take your order while you queue and then track all of it by memory and tooth picks, zero order tickets, computer kiosks!

By the time you get your to the grill you are gifted with a few minutes to watch the grill, magic and take in the sights, sounds, and delicious smells – then it’s all ready to go.

BOOM!

Everyone was really nice, friendly staff and customers, and overall a total throwback to what I remember from my childhood in the 80’s.

I’d give this place 9 stars if I could it was that delicious.

Cash only, so come prepared. They have an ATM if you don’t plan ahead.

Sofa king good!

We just happen to find the Chuckbox online. It looked so we went. The place is GREAT, we loved it. It’s FUN! You stand in line to order which was cool. The guys behind us must have been regulars and they helped us order. They just call you in line and ask what you want. Best order system ever! The gent taking the order just yells to the cook beside him. No paper just a good memory. We each had a burger and shared onion rings. You add your own condiments (see picture). Also awesome. I guess I must I must have order a unique burger so they just added extra stuff. Just fine with me. All the staff were really nice and when they found out travelled 3000 kms they said that was great. Parking – the parking is ok and free! I suggest being there between 1:15 and 3:00 PM. It may not be as busy? We were there at 1:15 on a Thursday and the lunch crowd was just clearing out. We did get a parking spot. Also there was a parking attendant. Food – burgers were top notch and the onion rings, I would go for just the onion rings! My better half thought her burger was a bit over cooked. The decor is rustic. I really like this type of place because it feels homey. The place is very clean and unlike some places they actually come around and clean the tables. One of the fun things is you get to see the cook being the master of the grill. There is also some outside seating.
All in all we really liked the place.
VERY IMPORTANT: CASH ONLY no
EXCEPTIONS. ATM on site.

I’m so glad I found this place. I came into town for a bjj competition and scoped out good food in Tempe area. Given the copious positive reviews, I decided to try it out. The wood fire smell is what immediately grabbed my attention outside and I knew I was in for a delicious meal. The packed interior also confirmed my decision. The menu is simple, straightforward. I ordered a hot and spicy chicken sandwich, double big burger, and fries. The food is cooked to order and very fresh. The chicken was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The burger was also juicy and had that amazing wood fired taste you can’t get anywhere else, closest to a backyard bbq burger but way better. There is an assorment of toppings and condiments you can add. The only negative thing I can say is parking in front can be difficult, but you can find a surface lot a short walk away. Don’t hesistate on trying The Chuckbox if you’re looking for great burgers and sandwiches.

If you love smoke and slow grilled, you will LOVE this place. I am a vegetarian and the smoke adds to the garden burger taste + the help your self dressings bar puts this over the top!

Enjoy the line and wait of slow/fast food. Cash only.
