| - My first Chuck Box experience was in 1989. It is good to see a business that has maintained through the "redevelopment" of the area around ASU.
Fast-forward to my return to the Valley in 2011...and in cruising through my old stomping grounds, observing that ALL the favorite spots (Mama's Pizzaria, Ozzie's Warehouse, 6 East Lounge and Long Wongs) are no more. The Chuck Box, complete with rusty-appearing roof, still stands, though. It is gratifying to see the puffs of smoke from the grill.
On walking in, the decor has not changed. The tables still have copper tops, and when you sit inside, you are sitting on wooden crates. The condiment bar is certainly one of the best I have seen in a burger joint. It makes customizing the favored double burger with cheese and bacon SO easy!
The prices are good, the beer is cold, and the onion rings are certainly up to par. The only thing that has changed (and maybe it is because I am 20+ years beyond my first visit) is that students seem to get faster service.
