Original Hamburger Works

Pretty dang good place for a burger. The condiment bar, has all the usual stuff and jalapeño’s. A hamburger just NEEDS jalapeño’s, you know what I mean?
This place isn’t too much more expensive than going to BK or McD, so why not try it out? You won’t be disappointed.

This is my go-​to burger spot. Thick greasy burger on an onion roll with Arizona fries and I’m set! I just don’t know the hours. Please post them!

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.

Came here for the first time on a Saturday evening for dinner, it wasn’t very busy. The food was good and came out quickly (once given the chance to order.) The 2 star review is bc of the service that my party was given by the 2 middle-​aged barkeeps. They have mastered the «I saw you but I’m going to act like I didn’t» move. I was perplexed when I saw that the restaurant employs younger people. why aren’t they the bartenders? If you’re a server and suck at your job, you better at least be good looking. The bartenders at this place have nothing going for them except undeserved pride.

Great burgers at great prices! It’s hard to find good food that doesn’t break the bank, but this is the real deal. I didn’t give it a full 5 stars because I had to wait about 20 minutes for my burger – but it was worth the wait! I had the small one with onion rings and a chocolate shake and ate every last bit. I would highly recommend this burger joint because of the yummy food and fun atmosphere. I am already planning on returning and bringing more friends!

Good food at a good price. Don’t expect anything fancy, but good tasting and good quality food. You can grab a beer and watch the game too!

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!

In the years passed I would have given this place 5 stars. As writting of this review the neglectful service and food expectation is so bottom basement I can no longer ignore it.
The chicken sandwiches and burgers are no longer consistent. When you order it’s a coin-​flip whether you get a great sandwich or a freeze dried specimen ready for space exploration.
Besides your server taking the time to explain you will be charged $.50 for requesting ranch dressing unless you self serve… The worst part about The Original Hamburgerworks is any given order of 10 wings will feature two to three broken ones. What a tasty thought… A broken, exposed bone chicken wing or three to wrap your mouth around.
Avoid this place unless you’re desperate. Or being held hostage.

Burgers, fries, zucchini, chili fries were all on point. The staff was great, fast and friendly. Perfect spot to bike ride, enjoy football and drinks. Will definitely return.

The wings and rings are both killer!

Good hamburgers, chicken and fish sandwiches. They cook over charcoal and that gives a great taste. And a condiment bar so you can pack on the lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, etc.
BUT: No CCW, I won’t be back.

Not sure if it’s all new staff, or new management, or what — but the quality of the burgers the last couple times has been markedly different. Mine was over cooked both times though I asked for medium. Tonight they seemed under staffed or inexperienced — salad bar was a mess — most of the tables and booths hadn’t been cleared either. Hopefully just a couple off nights and not a new trend.

We enjoyed the quality of the food and the décor of the restaurant. To be honest, their simple hamburger was quite small, however the teriyaki burger and such were fairly good. The condiment bar is a nice addition and the fact that you can create your own sodas in the machine is a big plus for the kids. We would go back.

Just completed a round of burgers in many locations. The Hambuger Works total package is tops. Definite char-​broil burger, fries to order served hot, cooling at the table, build your own. Best chocolate shake for miles. Completely local business. Excellent service. Five stars.

This place is old school Phoenix funky and cool. Across from Phoenix College it has a real niche along with some tasty burgers. The burgers are big but very good. Flavorful and topped with many different types of burgers — teriyaki, western, Big One — all sorts of choices. Get some homemade fries and onion rings to complement that tasty burger. Now, to wash it down they have one of those high tech fancy schmancy Coke dispenser and it is fun. I like getting the Cherry Vanilla Coke Zero. It is fun and they usually have some local sports on and they have a full bar where you can have an adult beverage with your burger. The staff is always courteous and the food is really good. We go by here whenever we want to have a good meaty burger that is local and part of the community.

As a person that hails Fuddruckers as one of the best burger joints, I was amazed and would say this place will take Fudd’s place.
This place is half sports bar and half vintage dinning experience. With sport memorabilia around the bar and old Route 66-​type décor in the main dining area.
The burgers are taste in a backyard sense. Ever cooked burgers in a open flamed grill before? This is what you’re getting and much more. I haven’t eating a good large burger with this taste elsewhere and I would gladly invite my friends and family to at least try this out. There isn’t much to say but I really enjoyed this place and there is no excuse not to try it out.

Best burger for the price. Just about the same quality as fudruckers but less expensive and locally owned. Great atmosphere

We just happened on this place the other day. It is a little out of my normal stomping grounds. When there are hamburger joints all over the place — both fast food & local neighborhood places — it takes a really good burger to make you want to return to a specific place when gas is expensive & time is short.
Would I go back? Food was definitely good enough. Not gourmet, but a good «home-​cooked» tasting burger. Best part about mine is that I ordered it with green chile on it. (Remember I am from the Land of Enchantment?) Instead of coming with canned chopped chile, it came with a nice big slice of real roasted green chile. I ordered it «mild-​hot» and it was perfect. Tasty, without covering up the burger flavor. These folks definitely know the difference between chile & chili. Family must be from New Mexico?
Oh, yeah, i scarfed every last crumb of that green chile cheeseburger! And now I’m craving another one. Guess where I’m going today?

I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Who needs a sports bar when you can go to the Original Hamburger Works. The restaurant might not look like much from the outside but like the old adage goes «You can’t judge a book by its cover» the same can be said about The Original Hamburger Works.
The Original Hamburger Works has a sports bar vibe and inviting atmosphere, with lots of TV’s that show sports all over the restaurant, and the restaurant is spacious, well kept, and clean.
The burgers are big, fresh, and made to order. You select what size burger you want, type of cheese, and type of bun, and then the fun begins.
The Original Hamburger Works offers a condiment wagon filled with various burger fixens. The condiments bar is a nice addition because your simply given your flame grilled burger and bun and the rest is up to you. So be prepared to pile on the «fixins» at no extra charge.
Great food, reasonable prices, and amazing customer service. What more could you ask for.

This burger place was really good. I had the number #1 combo (no drink included) for $ 5.99 which is a pretty reasonable price. Burger was pretty good size, i dont think theres a need for double or bigger than the Big One. I added bacon and I appreciate its in round shape so it covers more bites than strip bacon. Fries were good as well. Onion rings could be skipped nothing special. We also ordered a side of chili i would skip it too.
If you know Anthony Bourdains top 3 burger joint in the word named Sams in San Fran then you could compare the flavors and feel. This reminded me of that place. I highly recommend it.
