Was looking for a good burger on Saturday and found the OBW on Yelp and decided to give it a shot although it was a little bit of a drive since I live in Buckeye and this is in downtown Phoenix little bit of a drive just for a Burger however after finishing The Big One completely satisfied and will return read more

Its so funny I grew up down the street from this place and never knew it existed. But I came there today and was blown away by these awesome burgers. Even the fries were out of this world no katchup need. Great job guys keep up the great work! read more

Love the Works! My fave Fri night hang out with family and friends. Great food and atmosphere, and the staff is very friendly.

I go there often. It is a great place for a get together or something, and the food is great too. I love the old fashion design they put on it too!! And the cookies are chocolate chip and the they are so BIG!!!!! I love Hamburger Works!!! read more

Here in Phoenix for vacation. Came here after screwing up directions. Chicken burger was good and service quick.

Well me and my wife after reading the reviews on ohw decided we would make the drive from the east valley. Upon entering we were greeted rather slowly, the interior was comfortable and inviting. Upon reviewing the menu I was sad to see it is just the chuckbox with a diff. name. The food was good not spectacular, I could have gone to the chuckbox and saved some time and money and had the same experience. My wife had a diff. Experience, she kept getting hit on by the ladies everytime I Wasn't by her side. We are no haters but she just wasn't feeling it. If I was in the neighborhood and was starving id go again, other than that ill see you at the chuckbox. read more

Just went her for the first time Sunday. I added a salad bar plate to go with my meal and it was $4.01. That's crazy. The salad bar wasn't stocked and the lettuce was brownish. Even if I wanted more salad or to get my $4 dollars worth they only give you one small plate. Definitely not worth it. The kids chicken fingers were all breading and really dry and my burger wasn't anything special. read more

This is a classic, simple no-nonsense burger joint. The burgers are perfectly cooked and yummy. My only issue: the long lines during lunch time. read more

This place has always been amazing. Since the time I can remember my family would come and bring me here to eat and now that I'm having a boy, I'm definitely passing the tradition down. Wife got the "big one" and I got the "double big one" and I couldn't finish. Atmosphere is relaxed. Definitely recommend his place read more

Burger was good, got onion rings and fried zucchini and they were both over cooked overall experience was just okay

I love this burger joint. Lots of options and quality meat offer great lunch options if you work in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy a tasty burger. It's not easy to find a good one in Arizona. read more

This place has a lived-in, part-of-the-neighborhood feel that I really enjoy. And if you want to see an artist at work, watch them perfectly land burger patties on the charcoal grill from several feet away, bing-bang-boom, one after the other, and none of them out of place. The results are delicious...except for the buns. This seems like a terrible place for a hamburger joint to economize, but they have. The buns are dry and flavorless, which is a real shame, because it takes away from what would otherwise be an outstanding burger. read more

Great food, great service!! $5 for a pitcher of beer? heck yeah!!!

i love the style of the place,the food was ok... not great... I didn't order anything exciting though... just burger and fries.. i think they could have a good business if they expanded hours and worked the bar angle more... they have a good place for it but only open til 11.... the wagon of salad was funny. read more

bland. dry. underwhelming burger. sure they have many options but so does fuddruckers and fuddruckers is crap as well. chicago hamburger co is where it's at. spent 20 for girlfriend and i ate original hamburger works and won't be doing that again anytime soon. and that burger was not 1/2 pound. the only good thing was that they had red cream soda. by far the most disappointing place i;ve been that i heard about via this website. thanks for misleading yelpers. this place doesnt believe in seasoning. btw. chili fries tastes like carl's jr's. 100% crap. read more

While struggling on where to eat lunch last weekend we came upon Original Hamburger Works. Read the reviews here on Yelp and decided to give them a try. I am sure glad we gave then a shot. We walked in to the dinning room which was pretty full (a good hing) and up to where you would make you menu selections. The great thing is you walk right past the grill where you see what is the beginning of your burger. Awesome to see this right out front. Kind of a honesty approach to how we build a great burger. So we order a Bacon Chess Burger and California Burger both the largest size burger. Both burgers were exceptional and the prices were low to what you receive. Extremely affordable. The staff was great and our surprise the location is about 3-4 blocks from where we live. A win win! So if you want a extremely tasty, affordable, very large portion and just a all around awesome burger the hit these guys up. You will not be disappointed. Just a great little gem on N 15th Ave. Once again you will not be disappointed at all...... read more

Their grilled chicken sandwich makes my mouth water just writing this. Absolutely the best in Phoenix. The chicken is juicy and oversized . Love the self serve condiment bar to dress your sandwich to your liking. Prices are inexpensive. The beer battered onion rings are very tasty. This place is a bit shabby but who cares because the food makes up for it. read more

Food as always is good. The Service on the other hand is very unaccomdating. The girl at the register let us know when we asked if there was a manager available that they were all on vacation. So I am guessing that customer service is the last thing this place realy cares about. Because of the rudness. read more

Wow, this place is still here? I went there as a girl (15+ years ago) with the family on a regular basis. If it's still around, then it MUST be good! read more

Just moved to Phoenix from Ca and have not been able to find a good burger anywhere! Finally I came to yelp and found this place. Thank God because the burgers here are AMAZING!!!!!! I love the inside of the place too it was very comfortable also. My husband and son ordered the #1 and I got the #4 the fries are also amazing too. Oh and you have to try the Bargs vanilla cherry soda, yummy!! Highly recommend and cant wait to go back. :) read more

This place is so freakin good!!! I love coming here for some fresh burgers! the best I have ever had!

Best burgers in town and the fish and chips to die for yummy!! I love that. Try it can't go wrong..

2nd time at this carnivore lovers spot. Co-worker says that this is one of his favorite burger places downtown, so we headed there for lunch. Quaint historical decor. Since I was told burgers were what they were know for, that's what I got. I did the burger lunch special with fries. White, Wheat or Onion was the 1st question asked, followed by the type of cheese. My "no bun" request seemed like something that they didn't get a lot of? We got there around 11:30, and they seemed to very quickly get busy. Waited a bit for our food, but what came out was hot and fresh. I loved the fixings bar. Lots of fresh items for you to dress your order. I would have liked to see leaf lettuce instead of shred, but just meant I asked for a fork and knife to eat my burger. I prefer my burger naked in lettuce rather than with a bun. One co-worker ordered their veggie burger, and she said that it was also tasty. I'm not a huge burger fan, but when I want one there is just something about a grilled one that is so much better. =) Come hungry! read more

Great spot with the family. Food was great. Place was chill....wish we had one back at home. Kids loved pac-man. Place Rocks!

It's really good. It's affordable and provides a condiments bar so you don't have to worry about them adding anything you don't like. I will definitely come back. read more

My husband's Burger was tasteless! My Grilled Fish Fillet Sandwich was cold & also tasteless! Salad Bar (if you want to call it that) was seriously lacking in variety. Bathroom stunk & was filthy! Personally, I don't think this place even deserves one star! Seriously, don't waste your money! read more

This was second visit. Great burgers. Will definitely visit again. Only complaint, if I ever order the "Retirement Burger", cheese should be included at no extra charge since it comes with everything else. read more

Great place, fun setting, great value, great food. Very ample servings. You may not to order as many sides or dishes as you think! You'll enjoy read more

I went to Hamburger works for probably the 3rd time. Decent hamburgers, HORRIBLE service. We got there and sat in the bar. We were there probably around 11 am on a Saturday. There were only 3 other people in the bar area. The bartender came out and took our order. 2 out of the 3 other people came after us. We waited a good 30-45 minutes when we noticed the 2 other people got their food before us. The issue with this is that the waitress/bartender wasn't busy and knows her customers (or should know). We called her over (after 30-45 min) and asked where our food was. She left to find out and came back and said she never put the order through. She said she'd get that taken care of. My husband and I asked to pay for our cokes and that we were leaving. She gave us the drinks for free (she better!!!) and we left. We went to another hamburger joint and had great food and service. Never going back. The food is great but the service isn't worth it. read more

I love their burgers and bomb waffle fries! They have a divey bar in the back where you can chill out and watch sports while you enjoy a beer and your burger. Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel at home. read more

Great flame broiled burgers. Used to be my favorite place, but it is still up there (#2 now). Has the college hangout feel to it. Worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood. read more

My wife and I were referred to this place by a patio furniture salesman in the area who claimed it has the best burgers in town... yeap.. it is confirmed.. this is an excellent place to grab a burger! Delicious burgers and fresh toppings. Reminded me of a fuddrucker restaurant style.. but better.. and more local, which I'd the best way to spend your money. read more

This place is decent to grab a burger or chicken sandwich. The decor isn't fancy & the food is served on paper plates. The condiments bar is nice because you can fix up your burger like you want without an extra charge. The bar area has several tvs which will make it a cool spot when football starts. read more

I used to come here about once a week about five years ago. Then I realized just how much more expensive it is than the Chuckbox and that the food was really going downhill here. The burgers are usually overcooked, and they want almost $2 more for Zucchini than Chuckbox. I ate there the other night with a friend and it is still about the same. There's more room, a bit more going on, but I'm there for the food. The one thing I will say is that they have some better iced teas, unlike the fountain crap at the Chuckbox, but that's about it. I still go occasionally, but since I'm out in Tempe regularly, I'll stick with Chuckbox. read more

Greatest burger of all time, get a big one with fries on white bun with Swiss cheddar or my favorite the jalapeno cheese. Put some Tabasco on it and you are ready read more

Hamburger Works has the rudest bartenders in town!!!!!! They never acknowledge you when you walk in, they aren't friendly, and the only time they may be a little courtesy is when it's time to pay the bill! They look and dress so unprofessional! It's too bad because you could have a really good thing going!!! I wont be back or recommend this place to anyone I'm a professional in my business and deal with a lot of people! The only reason I gave them one star is because that's the only way I could write a review otherwise I wouldn't of given not even one star!!!! read more

We went to this usually very pleasant restaurant recently after attending the Lights of the World show at the Arizona State Fair Grounds. We have been here before and had very pleasant experiences however, this time, was different. There were 9 people in our party, 5 of whom were children. As soon as we walked in, the attitude was one of dismay because we had small children with us. The man who served us, I believe his name was Gregory, was very rude and tried moving us; first to an isolated high top table which would not have worked for our children and grandchildren and when we said we would move to the booth near the bathroom so that we did not disturb other diners, he tried moving us outside!!! Very rude and still we stayed and spent over $150.00 there! We should have left and spent our hard-earned money elsewhere...somewhere where we felt comfortable. I will never go to this place again which is sad because the food was good but we were made to feel unwanted. I called Management when we left but he seemed very disinterested and unconcerned. read more

I went here to use a buy one get one free coupon 2nite, good upto $8. I ordered 2 10-pice wings for about $8.xx per order. I figured I'd order a small onion rings too since I was getting a good deal on the BOGO wings. Well boy was in for a surprise. When I got there, the cashier said the BOGO applies to the onion rings. I said fine, take that off the order and then I can apply it to the wings. She STILL said no since the coupon said upto $8 and the wings were a bit over $8. Now any moron knows that with this kind of coupon, you'd just get the credit of $8. In fact I used a very similar Q-pon just the previous nite at another restaurant and they had no issues with me using in. Even worse, I have used this EXACT qpon at this EXACT same establishment many times over the years! I ended just canceling the order and walking out in disgust. I think management needs to train their cashiers on how these Q-pons work. The cashier 2nite was clearly clueless. I worked a 12 hour day and came in here very hungry not expecting this at all. Instead I left hungry and angry. Disgusted with this experience 2nite. Dont eat here, they will screw you!! read more

Being convenient to Encanto this was a after golf lunch stop for me and my buddies. Yesterday I ordered unlimited salad bar for close to $6 which is more than most burger entries. What a limited, sad assortment of limp offerings with everything having traces of it's neighbor as if there was a food fight. With the dim lighting and greasy plastic sneeze guard it gave the veggies Gaussian blur I imagine you get just before you croak. If the bar in Star Wars had a salad bar this would be it complete with interesting and diverse looking patrons. After lunch over our empty paper plates, plastic utensils and round aluminum pizza tins we made a vow to never return. Black tee shirts for the staff, dim lighting and grease everywhere brought on thoughts of a prison mess hall during a black out. With all the choices in Phoenix we will have our lunch in a cheerful environment with personable servers and fresh food read more

i just to work there, it was agreat and clean place, the food was good i would like to see how its doing now
