Arizona has a long list of mighty fine restaurants that serve delicious meals in a wide array of cuisines. Among those are restaurants where you can find hot, juicy burgers and fries that are cooked to just the perfect level of crispness. Throw in a touch of nostalgia from your youth and you have the perfect burger restaurant! One of the places that tops the list for us is The Chuckbox in Tempe.

Located right across the street from Arizona State University’s main campus, this restaurant looks like it could be a remnant from the university’s early days when it was known as the Territorial Normal School.

It may not be quite that old but The Chuckbox has been serving delicious burgers since 1972, effectively feeding generations of students, faculty, and locals. Even the interior looks like little has changed over the years.

Adding to the nostalgia factor: this burger joint operates as cash-only, so make sure you stop at an ATM ahead of time.

In fact, many of its staff have been here for years, so rest assured that a professional is handling your beloved burger.
