Placed order for delivery and they didn’t give us half the food we ordered I called 30 times before I got an answer and they said they were out of food but didn’t even offer replacements or tell us until we called to complain then was rude on the phone when I finally did get an answer horrible experience

I’ve been coming on and off to Mitchell’s throughout the years when Mitchell had the Texaco he ran the it right when Mitchell died the flavor was still there these last few years that I have experienced it I’ve got old meat and burnt fries every time and I’ve mentioned it to them Mitchell wouldn’t go for this This has to change bring back fresh burgers, fresh meat, fresh onions, fresh bronze I don’t know who’s running the joint, it’s not being supervised right and I’m not trying to be mean or anything It’s a staple of eateries in Indio I probably will never go back again. It’s sad and I mentioned it to them. Have a nice day.

Don’t want to eat here!!! Today my husband went to pick up a doordash order from here and him and another customer saw and witnessed a employee that decided that it was okay to scratch herself inappropriately and not wash her hands after and proceeded to mess with food!!! They both looked at each other and shook their heads and the one customer left, and my husband is letting his customer know what happen… I already reported it to the health department, that’s disgusting and just utterly unacceptable behavior in that kind of work place.. I just wanted to let everyone know before hand so just be careful

We have eaten here many times - we come specifically for the “fries” as nothing else on the menu is special. Unfortunately this time our fries were severely undercooked, soggy and greasy. They were absolutely disgusting, inedible. We ate on site so it was not a delivery/timing issue.

This place was a neat stop if you like pop-culture history. Opened in 1954, Burger Box is a decent fast food joint built into a former combination gas station/motel. Imagine travelling America's remote highways in the 1950s, where you have a gas station, motel and restaurant all in one convenient place. Today the gas station and motel are closed, but the original structures remain. It's a bit of a time machine that allows you to glimpse a bit of interstate travel life back in your grandparent's day.
Furthermore, any burger joint that's been around for 70 years is worth a visit because they must be doing something right. The food is very well done but not spectacular (it's fast food after all). They also have a unique take on french fries. Instead of the the traditional stick-cut fries, they cut them into thick potato chip-style slices.
The staff was very polite and helpful, and the bathrooms were clean (a rarity for a roadside stop!). I came on a weekday at lunchtime and it was moderately busy, so plan to wait 15 minutes or so for your order to be ready.

Hmm… what can I say? This was average to not really. The best thing was the fries were unique; thick cut slices for good potato taste. The burger was rather blah, no tomatoes or lettuce. Just meat American cheese and onion. Not much condiments either. Kinda like a White Castle burger but just a little bigger. The date shake was alright and the people were friendly. Don’t think I’d go back.

Stopped at this little place on the way back from Indio. Given the reviews, I was very interested to try this restaurant. After having tried it, I do not believe I will be going back. The servers are very nice and kind. However, you always need to have an ear out because they will call your name from the window to pick up your order, so you always have to listen.As for the food… let’s begin with the burgers: The cheese burger was… okay at best. It felt like frozen re-grilled meat. Not much taste; the main taste is from the mustard sauce and the onions. Otherwise, the meat itself is derived of any taste.As for the fries: These are not really french fries. These are fried potatoes, and not great fried potatoes at that. These were so sticky (as in all of them were stuck to each other like a moist stack of paper) and soggy. They were full of oil and did not taste good at all. It doesn’t really come in a box either, so I’m not sure why it’s called “Box of Fries”. I was expecting them to come in a box.Overall, I don’t believe I will be going back. I’m only giving the 3 stars because of the nice people working there. Otherwise, it would be a 2. Maybe the nostalgia factor would have played into it if I had grown up here like others, however, with so many better options across the desert that are comparable in price, I will be choosing another place next time.
This place is, what do u call it....BASURA!!! Pretty much microwaved McDonald's
