So I came to the chuck box off of a recommendation from a friend. He stated that it was the best burger he's ever had and even was wanting to throw down a 20 dollar bet on this burger he was so confident. Well after my first visit here I think he owes me 20 bucks.
First I want to say that I've had a lot of burgers in my day. Some really good and some really bad. One of the first signs to me of a burger that won't break my top 3 list is when I can't order it medium rare.
We got to the chuck box around noon and the place was packed to the gills. We waited in line and I ordered the big one with cheddar on a white bun. The burger looked decent off the grill but the bun was something I could buy at Costco (another sign of a top 3 ranking burger is a good home made bun)
I didn't have an issue with the lack of options at the condiment bar other than how the onions were diced to put on a burger made for an awkward experience.
First bite was decent enough and all the onions then fell off the burger due to how they were diced. About half way through the burger, my bun was completely falling apart. The onion rings were decent but yet again I've had better.
All in all it wasn't a bad burger but it wasn't at all the best I've had. I'm pretty sure this place stays in business because it's on a college campus, it's cheap, and what college kid doesn't love a good cheap burger. Since I have no college memories of this place to make it seem better than it really is I am impartial and can just rate the food. All in all a decent experience but doubtful I will make the drive again for lunch.
