Carmel shake
Mike J.

We came at the suggestion of a friend. The place is cute with the comic book & sci fi decor. The Raising Arizona burger looked delicious when it arrived. Looks can be deceiving. The toppings on the burger were the only good thing about it. The Beyond burger had mustard that tasted off and there was no mayo. The bun was hard and dry. I was hoping for homemade fries in a place like this, not shoestring frozen fries that taste like they were purchased from Fry's store brand. The shakes were ok. For the about the same price as Culver's or Red Robin, I was expecting a better quality burger. I guess for Globe it is a high quality burger place. I should not compare it to Phoenix Metro restaurants. The staff were nice and pleasant and we didn't wait long.

Raising Arizona burger and power bowl

Wow! This place was amazing! We are on a Route 66 road trip and stopped in for dinner. The raising Arizona burger was so good and so was the power bowl! Highly

Cute little place that is much more than burgers and fries. Most of got just that and missed the two other menus with Asian rice bowls and Mediterranean dishes. I went with the Arizona Cheesesteak where Hatch chiles liven up the sandwich. It was a monster. The shoestring fries were a little dry oddly. It is right across from the school so be prepared for a big lunchtime rush of kids. I don't know if I will ever be back in Globe but I would return to try the other menus.

I had the vegan Beyond burger with added avocado and it was prepared perfectly! It was big, but I ate the whole thing because it was delicious. The shoestring fries were just ok. Cute little patio and fast service even though they were very busy.

Smooshed wet bun, freezer fries.

They're super nice, and every time I come to town, I keep giving them more chances. But the burgers are way too meaty, way too wet, and the bun is just mush. And fries taste like they came out of a freezer bag. I really want to like it. But so far not great, ever.

Cheeseburger with avocado.

The whole place is decorated with cool, nerdy stuff. The warp pipe was the best in my opinion. We sat outside on the patio/porch area and were greeted by such a friendly server. I got a cheeseburger with shoestring fries and my husband got the Raising Arizona. We wanted to try the peanut butter shake, but they were sold out The burgers were both delicious. They were fresh and hot without a bunch of fancy. The fries were crisp and tasty. Everything was perfect. Portions are very generous, I couldn't finish!! Best hidden gem in Globe. See you next time as we FOR SURE will be back.

Cute with a diner vibe. Super friendly staff. Tasty food but wish sandwich was a bit bigger

Bacon Cheeseberger and Cajun Fries
Jamie J.

This is our go-to spot for food anytime we drive through Globe. The burgers are fresh and incredibly flavorful and the fries are exactly what you want to add to the meal. The outdoor patio has an eclectic mesh of Mario and Star Wars (search for some hidden gems hiding in the rafters)! Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food does take longer than fast food, but it is well worth the wait!

Marston Berger with onion rings

What I love about Yelp! is the ability to connect others with great, little local places! We were driving through Globe on the way home from Lake Roosevelt and needed a bite to eat. We looked up "burgers" and we were so glad it lead us to Nurd Berger! We had excellent service. We loved the small, community feel of the diner inside. Our food was great! I had the Marston burger which had jalapeños, an onion ring, bacon, cheese and bbq sauce and it was really tasty. My only tweak I could have asked for was the burgers were cooked to "doneness" and I prefer medium, but that to be said that it was juicy! My onion rings were cooked perfectly and hot and fresh. Worth the stop in!

What a hole in the wall. The food was fantastic, and the environment is unique. The servers were humble and accommodating. Truly a diamond of a spot!

This is a favorite Road Trip stop for our family. Love the diverse menu and all the nostalgia/memorabilia decor. It's like if comic con had its own small diner.. I got a Greek chicken wrap and my family all enjoyed different burgers, fries, and shakes and no complaints here on the food or service.

Caramel shake, it was awesome

This was a really great burger. If you're ever in Globe, Arizona, there are a lot of good places to eat, and this is one of them.

Have been eating here for about a year. I love the lamb wraps and kabobs. The salad is always good…read moreas well. No disappointments at all.

First time. Stopped today while running errands…read more Summary: delicious. I notice that a lot of Yelpers like hole-in-the-wall places. The little find on the corner, so to speak. Simple surroundings, but excellent food. This is one of those places, in my opinion. Ordered the Greek salad w/ beef kabob. They even asked how I wanted the meat prepared. I went for rare, and it was rare. Very fresh greens, soft and warm pita bread. Dressing on the side, which I like, because Greek dressing can sometimes be a little acidic. This was not. Smooth, with light acidity. Very tasty. The meat (see picture) was loaded on and delicious. Charred nicely on the outside, rare inside. Presented very well. Baklava for desert. What can I say - I've never really had bad Baklava. Very buttery, honey, pistachios. I'm giving five stars, because I didn't expect this to be so tasty. Expected good. Nothing fancy as far as dining, but very clean. But I don't order the tables and chairs - I order the meal, and that's what I eat. You order at the counter and they serve. The young lady was very friendly - perhaps limited English, but no one was rude. She served my food, and I forgot to grab utensils. She went back to get them w/ no attitude. I saw the cook (maybe the owner/mgr?) serve a couple and very friendly. I saw some bad reviews regarding service, so just wanted to explain that didn't happen to me. Anyway, I will go back here. Hopefully, will be as good as the salad.

How this place evaded my radar for as long as it did is beyond me! We FINALLY made it for lunch…read more What an amazing experience! You step through the door and are immediately hit with the wonderful smell of charcoal grilling . There are two spits rotating right by the door, one loaded with chicken and the other beef. The owners are very accommodating. If you spend any time talking to them you can tell they are extremely proud of their restaurant. On to the food. We split a Greek salad and a beef swarma with fries. All of it was amazing! The swarma came with a sauce that resembles tzatziki sauce (unsure if it indeed was that) but truthfully it really wasn't needed. The beef was so tender and delicious! And the fries, cooked to perfection. My beautiful wife said they might be some of the best fries she has ever had. She could be right. Before we were done we had already decided that this is going to be a regular stop for us. I recommend you give it a try too! P.S. They have what appears to be a full bar but as we were headed to a doctor appointment immediately after lunch so we did not partake this time. Next time hopefully.

We're trying more and more to focus on healthy dining when we go out. But we don't want to forgo…read morefun atmospheres and great tasting foods. We still love chicken wings and fries and burgers with onion rings, etc., but we know we need to be careful as we look around us to see what is happening to our health in America in general. Pills, injections, procedures, etc. are not the answers. So many times a healthy foods or Mediterranean theme restaurants satisfied that 'healthy' aspect, but it is a hit-or-miss experience. Charcoal Grill is average sized inside (there is no outside dining) and a bit sparse, but they have great service, is clean and offers plenty of selections on their menu. Not bad. Not bad at all and we look forward to coming back.
