Just in case, this restaurant opening flew under the radar, chef Ashley Christensen's burger joint called Chuck's opened last Thursday. I went there for lunch Monday and the crowd was sort of sparse.
Chuck's is one of the three enterprises Christensen of Poole's Diner opened at 237 S. Wilmington Street: a fried chicken restaurant called Beasley's Chicken + Honey and a basement bar called Fox Liquor Bar.
If you like a thick, juicy hamburger, then you'll probably be a fan of this place. The burgers (half-pound, house-ground 100% chuck meat on a potato roll) cost $9 a piece and a half-pound of Belgian fries cost $4. One word of advice: the burgers are so big, you should split the fries with two or more people depending upon how hungry you are.
The hours for Chuck's are 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday, 11:30 a.m.-midnight, Thursday-Saturday. (The same hours as Beasley's.)
I've uploaded a copy of the menu below.
