    Get ready for an experience! The Chuck Box has been around since 1972 and they cook over an open mesquite fire. Warning, this place is cash only! They do have an ATM available inside the restaurant, but it's better to come prepared with cash in hand. There is limited seating inside, but honestly, it's part of the charm of this place. When temperatures are more agreeable, there are some tables to sit at outside of the restaurant. It is very rustic inside, and you stand in line and order at the counter. It reminds me a lot of the Seinfeld episode The Soup Nazi. Don't worry, the line moves pretty fast. Of course they serve up fantastic tasting burgers and recently I decided to go for the hot and spicy chicken breast sandwich. It was phenomenal. There is a condiments bar so you are able to dress your burger or chicken sandwich however you would like. If you're visiting Arizona State University or Tempe Arizona for the first time, you definitely should check this place out.

    Love these delicious burgers! Have tried several times to eat here but there was always a line! Finally got a chance to experience these BIG burgers and surprisingly the line moves fast! Definitely got stuck in the smoke from the grill after I ordered...just do what I did and stand super close to the person in front of you and strike up a conversation! I got the great Big 1/2 pounder with some of the onion rings and I'm not afraid to say it, but I finished every bite! I don't want to leave anything behind! I love being able to put my own toppings on as well! Looking forward to my next visit!
