Five to try... if you´re hankering for a hamburger
Chuck Box: Made-to-order burgers and killer fries and onion rings are on the menu at this no-frills joint near ASU. (202 E. University Drive, Tempe, )

Giant Hamburger: A great greasy spoon with juicy, 3/4-pound thin patties on seedless buns topped with iceberg lettuce leaves, thick tomato slices, a slice of onion, two completely melted pieces of American cheese and dressing for less than four bucks. (2753 E. Broadway Road, Mesa, )

Islands: Try the sinfully delicious Maui burger with guacamole, Swiss cheese and mayo — and try not to think about the nutritional info. (Several Valley locations)

Roaring Fork: The Big Ass Burger with green chilies, bacon and Longhorn cheese is a happy-hour favorite. (4800 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, )

Teakwoods Tavern & Grill: The menu features more than a dozen burgers, including the The Great Nate with jalapeño coleslaw, string fries, sautéed peppers and onions, horseradish mayo and jack cheese on grilled sourdough. The crispy tots are the tastiest of your nine side options. (5965 W. Ray Road, Chandler, ; 151 E. Williams Field Road, Gilbert, ; and 8880 E. Via Linda, Scottsdale, )
