We met for a social lunch here. We tried 2 pizzas and the California burger. The burger was solid with a great bun. The chips were good, wish we had upgraded to fries. We tried the Italian Stallion pizza, and the sausage was great. The cheese was very fresh and gooey, reminded me of pizza when I was a kid. The toppings were all generous. It was a cold day, so I ordered a hot chocolate that ended up being nothing to write home about. The team service did not work well round 2 p.m., not enough staff.

I went to the Chatterbox just off of Ford Parkway and Finn. Like the original location, but bigger, brighter, and more family friendly. We got to watch The A team while working on a large plate of loaded fries made with watery cheese "fondue". Their menu has something for every price range. The fast lunch special gives some nice choices. The waitstaff was attentive. This location has much larger rooms and more seating, with the same games, couches, and tasty menu as the original location.

The Chatterbox is great for beers and gaming, however the food is among the worst I've had in the cities. I can tolerate the Irish potatos but that's about it. The home-made ginger ale is good though.

This is a really fun bar to go to with friends. You can play video games on a ratty old couch, sing silly songs at karaoke, or shoot the crap with the cute waitstaff, all while enjoying a frosty mug of Chatterbox Ale.

First time guest, will return! The food was unique, nice and varied menu. Great beer list, I had too many Wittekers for my wallet! I ate a southwestern themed burger on tasty cibatta bread with green peppers and sweet onions and a jalepeno spread of some sort. The fries were crispy and hot. My friend had a generous sandwich that he would not let me taste! We were sad that their dessert menu had changed. It's not really a dessert place I guess. Lots of games and comfy seating.

Chatter Box has always been packed with a hip young crowd everytime I've been there. They have yummy appetizers and great beers.

Called ahead and received wrong information on brunch. Could only get buffet, and couldn't order off menu until later. Waited to order, food was not as described. It was ok. Server went out of way to find tabasco, which a bar/restaurant should have!

I decided to go for the adventurous "Mediteranean Burger" on the cabbiata bread which included sun dried tomatos and feta cheese crumbles. So far, every burger tried there has not dissapointed. Normally I don't like big chunky breads holding in the goods of the sandwich, but the cabbiata was nice and light with a slight crust.
Aside from the food, priced right for the American style menu, the atmosphere is fun and varied with lots of fun games available to rent, including Atari!
