I really loved this place on our visit to Chattanooga. First, the decor was nice. Second, the staff was really nice and it was closer to closing time. Third, the cost is reasonable. Last the food was delicious. They have an open bar salad where you can pick and choose what you want on your sandwich. Me and my husband ordered the double cheese burger, it was huge, and we got kids meal for the kids. We went back to get chicken sandwiches the next night but I liked the burger better. We will come back for sure if we ever come back to Chattanooga. read more

Had carry out on our way through town. We order the gyro. Came back to the hotel to find out it had nothing but pita with lamb meat. They forgot everything including lettuce tomatoes and most importantly the sauce. Meat was good but without the rest very disappointed. I'll stick to the other 6 places to eat around the area. read more

The food here is great. I've been here twice because I live out of state. If I lived closer I'd go all the time. I've had their philly steak which was pretty good; just basic. But their firebox bowls are amazing! Everything mixes so well together. The restaurant is nice and clean. Employees are not the greatest...the two times I've gone they always seem like they have something better to do & not the friendliest. Other than that. I'd definitely recommend! read more

Firebox Grill - Burgers Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Pretty neat burger joint. I like that they have a toppings bar where you put the toppings that you want on your burger...actually do get it your way! Prices are a little higher than the other burger restaurants but I think it's worth the few cents difference. read more

The food was so bad I made an account just to leave this review. Terrible food. Has to be microwaved and so overpriced. We ended up throwing away more food than we consumed. read more

We're from out of town and stopped by randomly. Love this place! We had the burger, chicken melt, milkshake, fries, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks. All were amazing!! This place is local family owned but seriously needs to franchise. read more

Really great food but dang are they slow! I sat 15 min in the drive through with not much acknowkedgement and people just moseying behind the window But seriously food is great read more

We stopped by on a road trip and went through the drive thru. The girl that helped us was so nice and the food was INCREDIBLE!! We live in Atlanta and wish there were a Firebox Grill here. If we ever drive through Chattanooga again we will be stopping! read more

Haven't tried this place in a long time but decided to give it a try yesterday. Now I remember why I stopped going here. I placed an online order thinking I could go in and pick it up or they would have curbside delivery like every other restaurant. Nope! The building was locked down because they are remodeling the entire dining area and they do not have curbside pickups. Even though I placed my order online I had to sit in a very long line at the drive through and waited for 30 minutes while they prepared everyone ahead of me order. If I had not ordered and paid online I would have left without my food. When I did get my food it was cold and awful! Will never go back to Firebox!!!! read more

The name brings into question what exactly happens inside...so we decided to find out. As with our last review (of Wendy's) our journey began walking through not one, but two doors. Vestibuled again. We finally recognized the potential for the benefit of this set up in the event Firebox converts to a butterfly conservatory. Upon reaching the counter we were greeted by a very helpful young lady who made the order process quite easy by only asking us questions requiring answers in the affirmative or negative. A peanut butter milkshake was the first item ordered by my rather excited co-reviewer. We added a philly cheese steak, cheeseburger and the hitherto undiscovered "Frings"; we don't want to ruin the suspense. The ambiance was strong...a word overused during the experience though we are not sure why. Clean, well decorated, comfortable. We sat in a booth separated from the other side of the restaurant by a small glass wall, more on that in a minute. Our pager buzzed and we reported to the front counter to retrieve our order. A large, clean and well stocked "toppings" bar was available and, of course, we took advantage of maximizing our free pickles. Despite the gentleman sitting on the other side of the wall having contracted black lung (we do not believe he did so at the restaurant) we rather enjoyed the meal. Philly cheese steak being ubiquitous I was concerned, but it was above average. Frings provided a nice variety, and my co-writer ate the entire rather large burger, commenting that it was tasty and making no "I hate you for choosing this place" faces. A number of times throughout the meal we expressed our surprise at how good the food was. Bathrooms were immaculate; tables were cleared and cleaned as soon as patrons exited, and employees we encountered were friendly. While the name may be mysterious, the restaurant is a winner. With a menu of casual comfort food, quick service and a reasonable price, FireBox is a winner. read more

The young lady running the front cash register on Friday 01/08/2022 at lunchtime seemed to be a miserable soul. While not downright rude (other than not making any attempt to reply to a "hello" or "how's your day?) she looks like she absolutely hates her job and anyone she has to wait on. Competition for customers is fierce these days... if she is incapable of doing any better she needs to go find some other line of work and get some sort of training. Every job has customers, whether you're a doctor, lawyer, etc. How you treat them in one line of work is probably how you'll treat them in all lines of work. read more

How so many people give this a 5 star is beyond me. It's at best... maybe.. drunk food. The shrimp on my taco tasted like it came out frozen food isle. Taco was bland soggy and tasted like my grandfathers flip flop. Bad. read more

Was very surprised by the quality of the beef and all of the burger toppings. You top it yourself so you can visually see that everything is fresh and clean. It is worth the price. I hope they end up having one closer to where I live! read more

Firebox Grill - Double burger!!! - Burgers Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Was a good meal. I had the Steak Burger and fries and the wife had a smaller burger and fries. She also ordered the 3 bean soup which was really a taco soup but she said it was a really great soup. I have no complaints about our meal. The restaurant was very clean including the restrooms. The only thing I would ask of them is to change the French fries to crinkle fries. Everyone loves crinkle fries and it would improve the meal extremely. read more

I have been a LONG time customer of Glen Gene Deli (all the way back to when there was one in CLEVELAND, TN) I have been going to to the Firebox Grill on Shallowford road for years now, and I hate to officially say that my last time going was today. I ordered a house salad, and it is absolutely rotten. Brown lettuce is ALL that was in the box. There was no cheese or tortilla strips, either. I placed a to go order and unfortunately did not make this discovery until I got all the way back home. The lettuce is so rotten that I cannot even eat the salad. 5.50 pretax for a box of rotten lettuce just doesn't cut it for me. I hate this for the owner, because I know this wasn't his intention, obviously. Seems like the staff just doesn't understand that u don't serve rotten food. Super disappointed and wish I could be reimbursed. read more

I use to eat at Glen Genes every time I come to Chattanooga so I was a little disappointed to see it changed to Firebox Grill. I have always loved that you can add your on condiments when you eat inside. I was glad to see it has not changed that option. I was a bit hesitant to return since the change but decided to jump in feet first. I ordered a regular hamburger and side of fries. It was not worth the money in my opinion. The burger was bland, meat and bread. It had no flavor whatsoever. Didn't taste like anything! It is a pretty good size burger but by the time I ate a few bites, it was a soggy mess. The fries were just....basic. Blah! Maybe I romanced my previous love affair with Glen Genes and maybe it has always been this bland. Maybe I was able to step outside my Glen Genes haze when they changed to Firebox and see it for what it really was - crap. I'm sorry I wasted my calories on this. Don't waste your time and just go to Wendy's across the street, you will save time and money. read more

Meh. Ok burger. Nothing special. Step up from Wendy's/BK/McD, big step down from Five Guys/In n Out etc...

This place has great food especially for vegetarians or vegans. Try the firebox with the veggie burger instead of chicken.

Ok this place has awesome burgers! Very unique and different everything is fresh and fix it your way angus beef. Wife had the American excellent she says I had the spicy kick with jalapeños and Cajun fries excellent and boy had the grilled chicken and it was awesome he says read more

Food was fresh, well proportioned, and absolutely delicious! Wide variety on the menu. Restaurant was clean. Cashier was friendly. Wish there were more locations, but we will make the 60 mile drive to eat here again! read more

My husband and I stopped at the one in Chattanooga TN on Shallowford Rd. for lunch. Neither of us had ever been to a FIREBOX GRILL before. We found it to be ABOVE AVERAGE PRICE for BELOW average food. We could have spent half the cost for as good, or better food, at Wendy's just a few doors down. Save your time and money and skip this place! read more

Second visit here in 12 mos. consistent from first visit. Double burger patties not pretty, but tasty. Nice bun, not overdone for a fast food burger. Cajun fries are nice size, good amount of seasoning, plentiful and stayed warm almost through full meal. A little more costly than a BigMac, but priced right for better quality food and environment. Pickles off the self serve condiment bar are pretty good! Crunch and no mush! Wire Baskets are hard to eat burger from so I place the burger's paper on the serving tray. read more

Skip the food entirely and order a milkshake-it was the only decent thing we received from our order of a cowboy burger, seasoned fries, and "macho taco." The spicy sour cream is practically inedible, and the microwaved cheese on top of my taco left me wishing I was eating Taco Bell instead (it would've been a lot cheaper, and the booth may have been cleaner) Kind wait staff..just have them prepare your milkshake and don't come hungry! read more

Firebox Grill is my favorite fast food restaurant in Chattanooga. Their entire menu is unbeatable. I have never ordered something there that was anything less than amazing. The standouts here include cheeseburgers (any of them), onion rings, and strawberry milkshakes. read more

My brother is not picky when it comes to burgers and he didn't get half way through his before he quit. It is a nice sized burger but it was cooked to death. Fries were bland. Very expensive for what you get, they should rename it Fartbox. read more

Fire broke half way through. The to-go box wasn't heated. Their iPad wasn't updated to snow leopard. Napkins wasn't efficient enough throughout the night. read more

The food tastes microwaved- nothing was fresh or grilled , and is extremely overpriced. If I'm paying $8+for a burger and fries I shouldn't have to make it myself. the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because it was reasonably clean and our order was prepared quickly and correctly. We won't be back read more

The food was very good but a little too pricey for my taste( for a drive thru). An asian salad w grilled chicken and a regular sweet tea =$12. read more

Nice place to get a good burger. I got the steakhouse burger with fries. It was really yummy. I reccomend. read more

Firebox Grill - take out menu - Burgers Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I live in Atlanta and was traveling home and decided to stop here for dinner. I never heard of the place but it looked interesting. My wife and I went thru the drive-thru and I ordered the club burger. You need to order any sides separately. I ordered some fries and found there were a ton. They could have used a little more salt but overall they were pretty good. A nice, thick fry. The burger was fantastic. It was well seasoned, perfectly cooked and had two or three thick slices of bacon. My wife had the mushroom burger and said hers was excellent also. The prices are reasonable for the quality. I paid $9 for a burger (with bacon and cheese) and fries, but it was restaurant quality; this is no fast food burger. They also clearly make them when you order them as it took about 7 minutes in the drive-thru. Maybe they're faster at lunch but I wouldn't suggest this place if you're in a rush. I reallly was pleased and the next time I'm heading up I-75 I'll be sure to stop back by. read more

Gave this place a second try only because my coworker insisted on going there even though I tried my best to dissuade them. The burger was a frozen mass produced patty that you would get from a major food supplier. NOT fresh hamburger meat. It had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. I'm glad my coworker paid for my meal because I didn't feel so bad wasting $12 on a school cafeteria-like burger and fries! read more

We loved Glen Gene and I wish this place had kept their menu. I miss the Ruben. The fries were not greasy, but they were only warm and limp. The burger was larger and you could add your own toppings. It cost us almost $19 for 2 meals. Nothing special for the price. The service was fast but the fries could have cooked longer. We probably won't be visiting this place again. The decor is an upgrade from Glen Gene buy the food is just okay. read more

friendly staff. brooke and andrea are super sweet behind the counter. great food. 11/10 experience

Delicious grilled burgers, chicken, fries, tortilla bowls, gyeros and other foods. The food was so good I ended up eating two nights in a row! read more

As me and my fiancé were driving down from Wisconsin, a 10hr drive, and hadn't eaten all day, we were recommended to eat here as it was fairly close to our hotel. WE'LL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN! Due to being given mildly warm onion rings and fries, as well as our entree, which was all completely cold within a the time span of us getting our food to getting comfortable in our chairs, readying ourselves to eat. Not to mention how old my guacamole was (brown) and my fiancé tortillas felt as if they just came out of the fridge. Also, consider the fact that me and my fiancé will give any food a try because we aren't picky eaters at all! This place is a NO-GO! Gave 1 star because can't give zero. read more

This used to be a great place when it opened as a deli. Stopped for lunch on the way through town and discovered the owners changed the name and drastically reduced the menu. Where are all those great subs they used to serve? The pita bread on my hero was hard and tough like it was warned in a microwave. My homemade chips were soggy and soft! Over all very disappointed! read more

If I could write this with negative stars I would. I just got off a heated phone call with the "owner". My food was disgusting, I couldn't even eat it, and it was made incorrectly. I called and asked to speak with the manager and shared with him this news. He was so condescending I am at a loss for words right now. I have never been so disrespected. I told him when he kept correcting me "what is the fucking difference" and all of sudden I was "cussing him out" and he told me I need a father figure. I cannot even with this guy. I have never been so mad in my entire life. He did offer me a refund but when he got so rude and short with me I just hung up. HE NEVER ONCE APOLOGIZED FOR ANYTHING. Not his attitude, or his employee's mistake. Horrible food, horrible service. Steer clear at ALL costs!!!! read more

I had the bowl and the Buffalo sauce wings. Both REALLY good. I would have been full with just the bowl but the wings looked good and I am not disappointed! Very clean, nice place. Food came up super quick and everything was good. I was not expecting much due to the fact it looks like a fast food joint. But I am surprised in the best of ways! Will 100% come back if I'm passing through again! read more

Since changes from Glenn Gene Deli to Firebox, not much has changed but the menu and the price of the food, Still nasty facilities and prices as high or higher than J. Alexanders across the interstate. It is fast like it should be if you have a drive thru but not a good value for your money. I am not cheep but do expect a good value if from Waffle House to Ruth Chris. I have been three (3) times since they changed the Image to the "Firebox" name but they always get my order wrong and after three consecutive strikes, like with baseball, they are out and now off my list!!!! Good luck read more

Wow...nice interior decor. Nice place to go if you do not mind food that has no taste. We decided to try this as a new place that reinvented itself. What a huge disappointment. Paid over $20 for a cheeseburger and philly steak and cheese. The philly had no taste whatsoever. The burger tasted and had the texture of a used tire. Time to close this place. We certainly will not be back. read more
