If you don't mind standing in front of a steaming, charcoal broiler while you order, you'll be handsomely rewarded. The comfortably rustic decor goes well with a homey and friendly atmosphere. The bargain-priced burgers, cooked to order over mesquite flames, are hard to beat at any price. Just off the ASU campus, the Tempe Chuck Box attracts hordes of students who don't bother reading the wall filled with multiple awards, including several "Best of Phoenix" designations. They already know the one-third-pound Big Juan is as good as it gets, with a selection of cheeses and guacamole or bacon toppings. Super hungry? The half-pound Great Big Juan will satisfy the biggest appetite. When it's ready, take your steaming beauty to the fully stocked condiment bar and pile on the fixings. It goes down easy with a frosted mug of beer, though for age-challenged underclassmen, make that root beer.
