If you are ever in Chatsworth or near there and love great junk food, The Munch Box is the place to go. Parking is usually not a problem.This place has been there forever it seems, I think sometime in the mid 50s it went up. It has chili dogs, burgers, fries. They thought of closing it once and that did not go over well with the neighborhood. This roadside burger stand has been owned and operated by the same family, kept the same Googie architecture, and nearly the same menu, with a variety of burgers, hot dogs, and fries since it opened. The prices have gone up, but other than that it is the same.When development threatened to close the restaurant in the early 2000’s, the community wrote 1,700 letters and petitions to the city council, urging that the burger stand be placed on the list of Cultural-Historical landmarks. They won and it is now a protected landmark.The food is the best. We love their chili dogs with raw onion. Their burgers with chili are great. I don't care for American Cheese, not really cheese now is it, and that is all they have, but my grandson loves it. They still sell root beer and even though it is the same you can get at a grocery, it seems better there.It is go to the counter, order, wait a minute and either eat there, outdoors, or in your car or take home. We always stay and on cold days we eat in the car.

Cash only burger place with cheap, high quality burgers, hot dogs, fries (all with tasty chili and cheese options), sodas, lemonade, rootbeer floats and free chili peppers. It's run by a great, salt-of-the-earth crew that are super helpful and friendly. There's only outdoor seating, but plenty of it. I had the double hickory chili cheeseburger and some chili cheese fries. They surely shaved some days off my life, every bite was worth it. Next time you're in the NW SF Valley, it's worth stopping by.Parking: Located directly off Devonshire as part of a strip mall.

I ordered a chili cheese dog with grilled onions. Food came out hot and the chili on my chili dog was very flavorful. Also their fries were nice and hot and were some of the best fries I’ve ever had.
This little shack in my old stomping ground is an Historical Landmark. The chili burgers and root beer are wonderful delights.

The Munch Box opened in 1956 and is owned and operated by the same family since. I’ve been going there since 1965. Their “Hickory Burger” is a chili-burger like no other. Order fries and you will get a generous amount of the best fries you’ll find. If you like chili-fries or hot dogs, they too are amazing. We now live in Idaho. Every time we come to SoCal to visit family, the Munch Box is one of the first things on our minds! It’s that good! Nice, clean (mostly covered) outdoor seating, you’ll feel right at home visiting with other people enjoying the experience of the place. It is a designated Historical Landmark in Chatsworth, California. I could go on and on, however you get the idea! Ya just have to try it for yourself.Parking: About a half dozen small businesses and a storage facility were built around the Munch Box a number of years ago. However, I’ve never found difficulty in getting a parking spot.Kid-friendliness: It’s “table and bench” style seating with awnings that cover most of the tables. Your kids will love it good hot dog or burger and fries. The outdoor experience is always fun for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for a wheelchair and flat ground all around. I’m handicapped and require a walker and sometimes a wheelchair. I have no problem getting around there.
