Went to a car show and had chicken quesdilla, and a orange cranberry smoothie with mint tree. It was very delicious.

Solid 3.99/4.

I was curious about this place since I started going to great barrington for dispo runs but I either never had money or the time. I did today, so I stopped by after work. There was a car show so it was pretty crowded. The crowd was chill with some kids but not too bad.

While we're on the subject of crowds, it was packed but the wait looked worse than it actually was. However the larger your group the longer you have to wait. I didn't mind. It moved slow but you get your food quickly. Service was friendly.

I had enough chicken and burgers so I had the steak and cheese sandwich. It was a bit of a letdown. The portion was small, the cheese sauce overpowered everything and was not worth the tall price of $14.50. The chili fries were decent, bit again on the high side. Fantastic raspberry lemonade, though. The most praised item was the burger so I'll return to try that next time. They also put flowers as garnish on your food which was kind of weird. Well, this is the eclectic berkshires after all.

I would return during the week when the whole state isn't hanging out here.

A little pricey for a shack where you need to eat outside or in your car. Food is good though.

Haven't been in 4 years. I got there 30 mins before open and I was 3rd in line. The chicken sandwich was good. The coconut shrimp were somewhat lackluster. The sweet potato fries were okay. I probably would skip the next time I'm in the area.

There's a reason the line forms at 11 and needs to be cutoff at 3:15. The food is spectacular. Recently tried a coconut shrimp special, gazpacho soup, Tuscan panini and onion rings. Everyone gets the burger so we went with other choices and weren't disappointed...the shrimp and gazpacho were amazingly tasty. Honestly you can't go wrong here. Aside from the food, the team that runs the Box couldn't be nicer and everyone always greet you with a smile. That goes a long way...they are so busy but never lose their laid-back Berkshires vibe. It's a special place.

Nice on a day when the weather is good.
Lovely countryside setting.
Simple American style menu, and delicious.
Service was shockingly slow at lunchtime, like the entire place was being run by one person. But if you’re not in a rush, give it a try. The food is cooked to order, so there’s a reason for the speed. And they have a pet menu. You can’t exactly get that everywhere!

If you're going to get the french fries, just get the normal french fries, not the boosted ones. Ours came with a ton of oil and Parmesan cheese on it and the fries were limp and soggy. We also ordered the local Frank but was fairly underwhelmed by it. The falafel sandwich was great and all the drinks are spot on. Next time I go I'll just get the standard burger and the standard fries.

Besides their fantastic burgers we had some great drink specials, ice cream shakes and light bites! The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Worth a long wait!

Undeniably the best burger I’ve ever had in my life!! The box burger is my absolute go to, I honestly cannot complain about anything and although it usually packed, it doesn’t take long for you to get your food! Another favorite of mine is the chicken tenders, Absolutely delicious. Fresh, juicy, perfect crisp and flavor; perfect for kids. The atmosphere is also family friendly. My family enjoys it here. We sit at the picnic tables and eat then play with the games that they offer. I absolutely love and recommend this place. Money spent happily!!

They would make a killing with a bigger kitchen. The food is outstanding. The wait will make me second guess coming back.

Awesome, awesome spot. The falafel burger, veggie fries, and onion rings were all so delicious. The grounds are great too, lots of green space and picnic tables. There was a long line to order when we got there midday weekday in the summer, but the food came out in less than 10 minutes, even though it was all made to order.
