“ Best Hamburger I have eaten in Phoenix and possibly anywhere! So good! 1/2 pound of chargrilled, juicy deliciousness with great crust, cooked to perfection. Onion rings were really good too. Sat at bar, bartender was too busy for great customer service but he was nice guy, several regulars at the bar. Highly recommend! ”
“ So I have been in the valley for 25 years.. and frequented many burger places.. One of my favorites has always been the Chuck box in Tempe.. but when I found that Original Hamburger Works was under the same ownership, I needed to give it a try.. I was not disappointed. The same fantastic burgers grilled over an open flame.. perfectly cooked to order.. choice of cheeses, choice of buns.. fantastic sides like beer battered onion rings, beer battered mushrooms.. and amazing French fries. Great atmosphere, and a friendly staff made this a truly exceptional place to get a burger. I will be returning.... Often. ”
“ Stopped by after it was recommended by a friend! Robert was a great help when it came to deciding what to order! The burger was so good! Chili cheese fries were great! Definitely skipping adding the bacon next time! ”
“ This place was surprisingly good. The price is reasonable and the food is good. That burger I got with the pineapple slice was pretty tasty. The fries and onion rings were okay. I want to go back to try other stuff. Maybe my rate might change. ”
“ This is a great both bar and restaurant there's a separate bar section for after hours or day drinking and an acceptable area for work lunches or family dinners. It's an interesting style of service where you order at the window and your name gets called. All of their appetizers that are fried are amazing and the namesake the hamburger is delicious, you can taste the flavor an inch before it hits your tongue, although in the effort of full disclosure some people say it's a bit charred, but that's the whole point and I think they are amazing. The bar has margarita and 12 different beers on draft as well as a full alcohol service and Top it all off with friendly service and decent prices make this an easy recommendation. ”
