Delux Burgers are excellent. The french fries are shoestring and served in wonderful shopping carts. Delux is may be the ONLY restaurant in Phoenix open until 2AM nearly (or every) night of the week. And they have been in business for over five years now, no surprises about hours changing, running out of menu items etc. Very dependable. Decent wait staff too.
Negatives: Besides the burgers, I think the rest of the menu is mediocre. Don't try to go at normal dining hours, else you'll wait and wait. Try to avoid sitting at the long plank-style table in the middle of the room, unless you enjoy sitting on an uncomfortable stool with everyone else in the room staring at your back. Oh, and its noisy too.
Who wants to eat a greasy bland burger with a thick bun (doubles the meat) with fries and pay $15.00 for it? If you said yes, then Delux is the place for you.
The only reason why I even gave it 3 stars was because it's one of few restaurants that is open until 2:00 AM and the interior is nicely decorated. It actually looked like a fun place to grab drinks but not the burgers. After reading reviews about Delux, I was excited to try a "gourmet" burger. Instead, I ended up with their "Delux" burger, which the meat was tasteless and overly greasy by itself. The burger was minimally saved by some of the savory toppings like grilled onions. The bun was grilled (drenched) with butter. We actually split the burger and fries and boy was I glad!
The day after my burger experience, my stomach reminded me that Delux is just not the place for me.
I'm not a hipster. No really, I mean I should get kicked in the shins and then deported back to lame-world where I came from for being such a conformist. So really, I should like this place right?
...but this place just didn't do it for me. The fries were delicious, but the burger was terribly bland. Service was a little sluggish. I give it A for effort though, as it was probably one of the cooler spots to chill in Phoenix. I'm sure there's all this great culinary goodness that went along with making their burgers, but it fell short in flavor IMO. You'd think that after my Camelback hike, I'd swallow every thing whole, but in the end... left only finishing 1/2 the burger.
Cliffs notes:
Ordered: Delux Burger 3 STARS
Basket of sweet potato fries 4.5 STARS (yummy dipping sauce)
Price: $9.50 burger, $6.00 Fries
Service: 3 STARS
Atmosphere: 4 STARS
The best BEST best BEST sweet potato fries. Good consistency with awesome seasoning! Sweet potato fries never really crisp up the way regular fries do, but there is so much flavor to these that you hardly notice they're a little limp! And served in mini silver shopping carts, which is surprisingly more cool than trying-too-hard.
Burger patty is seasoned really well and is HUGE. Be careful when you order it medium-rare... it might come out a little more rare than you're expecting (soggy in the middle... but still oh so good).
When I die, I would like to be buried with the Delux Burger, Fries (please don't forget the aioli) and a yummy IPA fresh from the tap.
The Delux Burger brings you a little closer to heaven. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Topped with a guyere and blue cheese mixture, coupled with sauteed onions and arugula. All on a brioche bun. The ingredients are super fresh and the meat is all grain-fed. Mommy daddy this thing is a symphony in my mouth!
Then add this lovely burger into an equation of a massive beer list. Not your usual Crud Light but lovely Microbrews. AND good prices? AND they are open until 2am 7 days a week?!? Not to mention that the service was outstanding?
I'm floating on a cloud.
Please don't get me down.
The taste of Delux Burger and Sunbru is lingering in my mouth.
What's that?
I'm slipping!
The Burger is weighing me down.
Falling.
NO!
Back to reality.
Damn.
I contemplated ordering another Burger to get that moment back...I guess I will have to come back tomorrow...
The hamburgers are great and the sweet potatoes fries are sooo fantastic.
Well, I finally made it here!
I went here with a group of coworkers for lunch the other day and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Delux burger, but I'm not a fan of bleu cheese so they were able to substitute it for me. The only bummer was it was a bleu cheese and gruyere mix and I would have loved to still have the gruyere. So good, but a little messy! We also had a basket each of the regular and sweet potato fries. Yum!
It's busy during lunch time, so try and get there early if you have a bigger group. The service was very good. I really can't say anything which hasn't been said already. I'll definitely be back here again.
Love it! I work nearby and it is always a struggle not to go there for lunch or after work. Be warned, unless you go off hours be prepared to wait. But they are open late so it is a good place to stop for a late dinner or drink.
Try the Delux Burger...medium rare...it's juicy and cheezy delicousness. Skip the regular fries and go for the Sweet Potato fries. They have the perfect balance of sweet and salty and excellent aioli for dipping.
There is a large beer list and the salads are huge and perfect for sharing if you want to go green. All in all, a great place to grab a excellent burger and cold beer.
I love this place! Looking for a good late night eat? Come here! I usually get the Delux burger and its best to get it the way its suggested on the menu (med rare). Their fries (especially the sweet potatoe) are out of this world! They come in a little wire shopping basket on wheels! I have been tempted to take one home with me!
They have a very extensive selections of beer and wine, all sorts of imports are available. This place does fill up fast but will not disappoint the palate!!
yeah, use to be awesome. but maybe not. i don't really remember. i think i just always really loved the super strong martinis.
otherwise, overrated. completely. but, recently i did come to learn that the hot dog here is better than roosevelt. which is saying a lot.
Delux is a definate staple in the Phoenix food scene. This is one of the better establishments in the Phoenix area.
If it is your first time heading to Delux, I would start with the Delux Burger itself. This is a very good burger that is best served the exact way that it is spelled out on the menu...including the medium rare serving temperature. Trust me, I am a medium temperature on my burgers (the only thing that is not red), but the juices that flow through this burger are unbelievable. Start the table off with a basket of mixed fries (sweet potato and regular fries) for every 2/3 people there. Well 2/3 hungry mid-20s men. If you want to venture away from the burgers on the menu, I suggest getting the grilled cheese and adding chicken and bacon to it. The chicken sandwich is pretty good, but the grilled cheese is better.
The restaurant is definitely cool inside, and the patio is nice. This restaurant is busy, but never seems to be longer than a 20 minute wait time. The bar is cool, and a great place to grab a few beers. They always have something new and exciting on tap, so ask for a draft list and enjoy something cool and refreshing.
This burger is a total rip off of the "Father's Office" burger in LA, right down to the sweet potato fries and "a la carte" that they come in. Having said that....WOW that's a delicious burger! I've been on a quest for the greatest burger in town for quite awhile, and while it falls short of the famous Father's Office burger, it is quite good indeed.
The restaurant is pretty cool, with a great menu selection and some delicious beers on tap. I enjoyed my burger medium rare and accompanied by an IPA, and thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, but at 17 bucks, it's a little on the pricey side.
Check this place out if you haven't already, I'll be sure to go back from time to time....
FANTASTIC!
The sweet potato fries steals the show.
The burgers are great and the beer selection is only second to the Yard House. I may or may not have had six too many beers on more than one occasion.
There is a reason this place gets Best of Phoenix every year!
Hip, good prices and the best sp fries I have ever had!
I'm not going to lie, I go here for the amazing sweet potato fries with the aioli. They are worth the wait - seriously one of my all time favorites. I'm not really a burger person, but the burgers are pretty good. Also they have a great beer selection...a lot beers. I have been here a couple times and it always is busy - they must do something right (my guess is the fries and the beer selection!)
I was so completely ready to love Delux. I had been waiting to try it for a reaaaaally lonnnng time, and was excited to make the little trek down Camelback and give it a go. Pre-review context: it was a Friday night, and it was very busy.
My boyfriend and I rolled up into the strip mall parking lot, and spent a solid 5 minutes hunting for a space. And not just, you know, driving around looking for one. I mean competitive space hunting. Horns were honked. I became a little afraid. An ulcer was formed. After finding a spot some distance away, we walked up and in to the trendy, blue darkness of the restaurant.
The whole place was almost completely full, including the outside patio area, (which is where I really would've liked to sit - October, you are finally HERE!). But I wasn't mad at 'em. Good for them. A frosty hostess seated us at the bar-style table in the center of the restaurant, and stalked away. I think we interrupted her composition of a text message. Whatever, lady!
The table we sat at is probably exactly the place I would've LEAST liked to sit. While it is, you know, "cool," and lit from beneath by fluorescent blue lights, I felt very cramped in between the parties to our left and right. They weren't being loud, or obnoxious, and I even felt they were being conservative with their elbows. All the same, it was not a comfortable fit. Plus, my man and I prefer to sit next to each other when we go out. I know...I know. We also like to converse during dinner, and, since we could barely hear one another over the din, this would probably be the kind of place I'd go with a group of tipsy friends rather than on a date night.
In contrast to the disgruntled hostess, our server was very sweet and pleasant. She was friendly and patient with us as we made our drink decisions, and also remained unobtrusively attentive for our meal. My boyfriend was excited to see that they had Sierra Nevada on draft; I ordered a French Vanilla martini, which I chumped out on and couldn't finish. This, from a girl who used to order three Long Islands at once...I think my heart cracked a little, to witness myself so far removed from my former glory.
We shared an order of mixed fries, "a la carte..." CART, get it? Get it? Very cute presentation, but I think I would've been more tickled if I didn't know it was coming.
Know this: I am a sweet potato fry maniac. In fact, Delux's sweet potato fries were really the big reason I wanted to give it a go. I had anticipated them for months! ...and they were just, okay. In fact, both varieties of fries were "just, okay," and I also didn't really see any reason to rant and rave and Yelp about the ketchup or the aioli, the latter which I feel I make a better version of at home. So, yes. I was happy to munch on some sweet potato fries, but it's not like wings sprouted from my back or anything upon touching the first golden fry to my lips. My boyfriend said they were "fine," which is his stock answer for assessing the quality of anything that isn't a beer or an action movie.
My boyfriend got some random burger, and I had the turkey burger. I agree with the several reviewers that have whined for "more seasoning, please!" on the turkey burger. Let's face it - the noble turkey is one bland-ass bird. It requires a heavy hand, a smackdown of spices and seasonings. My turkey burger seemed to get something more akin to a pat on the head, although I did still enjoy it, especially with the creamy sauce that came alongside. My boyfriend enjoyed his burger, but prefers the Original Hamburger Works. Oh, well. Apparently the fancy presentation, ("what is this stuff?", was his response to the julienned carrot garnish), wasn't enough to compete with the sheer grunge of OHW.
It was easy to pay our bill and leave. I know people complain about this sometimes - you will not have to complain here.
We will probably go back. I'd like to try one of the "real" burgers, and my boyfriend has mentioned the great beer selection several times since our visit. It wasn't a bad experience...it just wasn't all that and a cart of fries.

The sweet potato fries here are droolworthy. The gazpacho was good too except that it was a bit too chunky. I didn't know the serving sizes though so I asked the server if the fries+gazpacho+caprese salad would be too much food and he said no. Well it totally was so that put me off a bit on the service.
This is seriously the BEST burger I have ever had (The Delux Burger, cooked medium).
Sweet potato fries are great as well. Open late every night. Also do takeout.
One of my favorite Sunday night go with the family in shorts place!!!
Menu is small but doesn't have to be any bigger. Just get a burger, the sweet potato fries and kick back with a beer or 2.
The only complaint is that I end up eating too many fries before the burger comes and I am full.
I would go every night if I didn't care how much I weigh.
I came here after having wanted to try this place for some time. I love hamburgers, and a good burger is a real treat for me. Nothing complicated really, just a good well made burger.
When my date and I arrived, we liked the interior. The place was smaller then I had anticipated. Very narrow seating. Anyways, service and menu selections were excellent. I went with the traditional burger, and my date went with the Panini. I went with the French fries, and date went with sweet potato. I loved both. The excitement of my night was the fries in the shopping cart!!
Anyways, I was happy with my experience here. I would return, and liked my food. So did date. Aside from tight seating, lovely place!
Everyone I know has ranted and raved about Delux, but I could never really see the real connection. What I found is this:
-The location is great. It's near the Biltmore, and not even 50 yards away is the Gelato Spot, which makes for a great dessert.
-It's crowded. Yes, it's popular, which means 2/3 times, you're going to have to wait. Sometimes for a substantial amount of time. And I'm not personally the most patient person, so that alone made me believe that Delux isn't the place for me. I like small restaurants with a few people, but that's just me.
-It's pricey. Indeed The food is good, but not great, and they overcharge you because they can. They've been voted the best burger in Phoenix, so they have a right to I guess. I don't mind paying a bit more for things, but I didn't think it warranted the price they were offering.
-It's loud. The masses of people and blaring music may appeal to some people, but that's not my scene.
But overall, I thought Delux was okay. It's expensive, the service is decent, it's crowded, loud, and they serve alright food. But nothing really amazed me.
Probably the best burger in Phoenix in my opinion. They use grain fed beef, which is a plus. Their sweet potato fries are great too. Delux is open until 2 although I've only been there for lunch and dinner. This place is always busy it seems. I went at three in the afternoon and it was still packed.
The decor is hip and the waitresses were very nice and welcoming. Check it out!
If you love burgers than you should eat here at least one time, especially if you love sweet potato fries!
Just get their standard issue burger with a "basket" of sweet potato fries. Literally, it's a shopping cart basket filled with their fries. It comes with this orange sauce that's amazing. They'll cook your burger any way you want it so if you're the kind of person who wants the beef still mooing, they'll bring you the cow.
This place needs another good review like a hole in the head, but too bad. Any place that my uber-picky, easily disgruntled, vociferously opinionated tipsy father finds no fault with should be heralded with a choir.
The Deluxtini, which you feel like a dumbass ordering, is some concoction of orange vodka, pineapple juice, champagne, and peach nectar. $11 sounds like a lot until you see the shaker that comes out with it -- easily, there's three full martini glasses' worth in it. Okay, I was solidly buzzed. The beer list is huge, and they have my SO's Chimay, so bonus points there.
I love sweet potato fries, even these, which were a bit on the flaccid side. The much-heralded orange sauce is tasty as well. The roasted vegetable panini was excellent, but not quite cheesy enough; next time I will stick with the grilled cheese panini, which is a fatty bit of heaven. My dad and SO split a burger and the caprese panini, and again, both seemed relatively content, a rarity.
Dessert (chocolate cake and a vanilla malt) and coffee were generously portioned and delicious.
Our server was fabulous - very helpful, friendly, genuine, and never once tried to rush us out of there, even when it got super busy. Oh yeah, and we get to the minus-one-star area: it's fucking busy. The parking lot is a Range Rover disaster waiting to happen. The whole shopping center is really a trendy yuppie Mecca - pure chaos. Getting there early, as we did, circumvented some of that, but in general - it's verging on a Xanax moment.
Any review of Delux requires an obligatory mention of the Los Angeles landmark restaurant Father's Office, whose concept was all but completely plagiarized by Delux. I always say, though, it doesn't matter who came up with the idea, it matters who executes it. And, I like how Delux executes the concept. High-end burgers, delicious craft beer selection and great service in a cozy (and hip) location.
Of course, I have to be the weirdo -- I am also a vegetarian, so I can't have a burger anyway. Instead, I grabbed the amazing grilled cheese, which they grill panini-style, cut into quadrants. The baguette, as usual, was perfectly toasty, firm, yet chewy. There is a great variety of craft beers -- everything from Alaskan Amber to Stone IPA. The service is always good, although this time our server was particularly flirty. He actually sat down with my dining companions and I to chit chat. It was charming and fun and certainly added to the fun (and enjoyment) of the meal.
Another mandatory purchase at Delux is the fries -- available in sweet potato, regular, or half and half. The fries are served in a mini shopping cart (familiar to anyone who has been to Father's Office). They are perfectly seasoned and served with a delicious aioli dipping sauce.
Delux is a perfect place to have a sandwich and day drink on a warm afternoon, and I am looking forward to the temperature cooling off so I can waste a few Sundays there. And, of course, Delux is open till 2 a.m., so it is a great option for late nights as well.
ATTENTION Single Ladies: Attracted to corporate-types that like $9 burgers? Like a man in a suit who isn't afraid to eat french fries from a tiny shopping cart basket? Like that frat-guy-turned-accountant who enjoys a good beer while seated at a cobalt & chrome underlit diner counter? Like a man who knows what color cobalt is?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then let me direct you to Delux. One more tip: go on a weekday at noon. The diner counter/table will be full, with maybe two seats available between two possibly good looking businessmen.
Oh, and the burgers (I had a turkey one) and sweet potato fries are delicious, just like almost all the other 186 reviews have claimed.
Go forth and enjoy the food and midday eye candy.
The turkey burger was ok. It needed seasoning. The sweet potato fries were not that great. I have had better ones at Bumsteds and Zin Burger in Tucson. The regular burgers were better and so were the regular fries. My burger came with a cucumber sauce that was really good! The aioli was meh. I liked the atmosphere and the beer list was really great.
It is expensive there but at least now you know cause I just told you.
Will go back for the regular burger.
1st: sweet potato fries with aioli
2nd: of course their burgers are great, but so is the chicken panini!!!!!!!
3rd: last but not least, great beer selection!
Never had a problem here, other than getting a seat right away. I kinda wish their take out area was dine-in instead, but it's fine!
Wow. I really had thought I'd already found the best burger in the Valley. Then what happens? I find myself out in the Biltmore area to study and *BAM* there's Delux. Can I resist trying it? No. No I cannot.
Right when you walk in, I was struck by the 'cool' factor they have going on. Dark paneling and blue accents, as well as an awesome long blue table in the middle. It's not a big place, and I can see it would be easy for it to feel really cramped in there. Luckily, the lunch crowd had dwindled, and my friend and I had enough space.
Sweet potato fries? Done. I was wildly amused that they came in a little shopping cart. They are also served with side of ketchup and some some of vaguely-Cajun rémoulade. They. Are. Awesome.
And then my burger came out. I really think I heard a choir sing. They win huge points for presentation here. The colors they use to accent their burger are truly masterful. It helps that the burger tastes awesome too.
And, truth be told, we went back that evening after the coffee shop gave us the boot for a post-studying drink. We got to sit at the big blue table and enjoyed some of the many, many beers they have on tap.
It's a great place for a meal or a drink. Now if only they had a quiet little corner I could put all my books out on...
Wonderful food and service. I got the beet salad and mixed fries. The salad was enormous. Easily good for two. I would have preferred less dressing is my only complaint. I've been here numerous times. Last time I got the veggie sandwich which was delicious. I'm a vegetarian but everyone else ordered burgers and enjoyed their meals. If you go you HAVE to order the sweet potato fries.
One of my all time favorite places to eat. I don't get in here nearly often enough, but that is probably best, if I want to keep wearing the same sized pants.
I am a huge fan of the "Standard Classic Burger" here. It is fresh simplicity, at it's best. A hot, greasy burger on a fresh bun and tons of good fixings.....I go back here again and again. Pair this up with a "grocery basket" of mixed fries (regular & sweet potato), and you've got yourself a great meal. I always order extra sides of their "fresh aioli" sauce, which ultimately finds itself all over my burger, as well as my fries.
A quick note on their signature "delux burger"....very good and I love that it's served on a demi-bagette, but the maytag and gruyere cheeses are just a bit much for me. I'm not a big blue cheese guy, and I think it just overpowers the burger. But, if strong cheese is your thing, order away....they don't call it the "delux burger" for nothing!
One last comment that you may not know about delux......they serve until 2:00 AM. So, after a night of power drinking, divert your taxi to Camelback & 32nd Street for the ultimate anti-hangover gut bomb. Expect to wait for a seat. I've found the wait at 1:30 AM is as long, if not longer, than it is during lunch!
First impression is a decent one. It took some goading to have my small party seated on a Sunday evening, the hostess didn't seem too keen to actually find tables for us beyond looking at her little dining zone map and throwing out a very conservative ETA to a group of starving people. After a little nudge from a lovely lady in my group and a shorter wait we were seated and ready to look over the simple, well designed menu.
Food was a solid three star affair. No complaints in my party beyond having all the meals a la carte but I think that complaint was more a function of the frugality of my posse mixed with the hunger we'd worked up prior to heading over.
Sweet potatoe fries are overplayed and rarely done well, at least these weren't thick and mealy in the middle, the standard potatoe fries had that long frozen taste about them so like I said, solid three stars, nothing spectacular just really a-okay as far as first impressions go.
My chicken panini had well cooked meat, fresh cheese and good bread. The boyfriend demolished his burger and was not slowed down by any sort of issues with it not being cooked to his specifications or other surprises.
Service was attentive, the place was busy without being packed and everyone seemed pretty content. Splitting the bill a billion ways went off without a hitch and it was a frill-free, headache free meal.
I guess this place makes up for frills by having pretentiously dim bathrooms. What. The. Hell. While I enjoy the flattering light I don't like having to use my mini-flashlight to dig things out of my purse when dining out. I understand carrying the dim lounge vibe through the whole restaurant but don't make the restrooms even dimmer than the dining hall.
I can see my next review being four stars after exploring the menu a little bit more and seeing how their drinks are.
As I looked beyond our table this evening I noticed the lovely decor, the funky blue neon lighting, and was reminded that people do dress up for dinner. Everyone was chatting and having a grand time. Then my two year old pushed aside the french fry cart and smeared her hand through the ketchup dish and on to my shirt. Yup - gone are those free evenings to sit around and savor time out with friends and loved ones!
This place was nice. The seating outdoors looked a little more spacious however with a record high of 111 today it did not sound appealing. The inside seating was tight.
The wait staff was friendly. I ordered a burger served medium. It came out medium rare. It was tasty and the bun was delicious. My hubby ordered the grilled cheese panini. It was made with three different cheeses and arugula. It was very good. The sweet potato french fries were well seasoned and I loved the aioli dipping sauce.
I would warn if you do have young children - this probably is not the best place to take them. Delux does have carry out. Next time we go perhaps it will be for "date" night. :)
Overpriced burger, served in a cramped spot with a great view of a parking lot. For a better burger visit the Chuck Box in Tempe, Cheeburger Cheeburger also in Tempe, Johnny Rockets, the Hard Rock Cafe or even Carl's Jr! Spare yourself the pain of fighting for parking with people trying to get their groceries from the grocery store a few doors down. Unless you are a size zero, this place is CRAMPED! A more unwelcoming hostess I have never encountered. This is a burger joint people, not Nobu or the French Laundry!
Any place that serves sweet potato french fries rates high in my book. Couple the fries with the savory dipping sauce and a cute presentation --the fries came out in a little metal shopping cart (everyone say "awe") --and I'll give the place a five star rating.
So, why the three star rating? Well, the place is just too small for its britches. The space is cramped. For the price I'm paying for the burger, I don't want to feel my elbows rubbing against a stranger sitting next to me.
Speaking of the burger. My husband ordered the Delux burger and proclaimed it one the best burgers he's had!
I ordered a Chinese Chicken Salad and was surprised that the chicken looked and tasted like it was processed (not freshly grilled). It was a savory salad -- I just want fresh chicken on my salad - especially when I'm paying $12 bucks for a salad.
Another downside is that Delux is located in a strip mall. I think I would find the place more endearing if it were located, say, on Central Avenue as a standalone restaurant. Also, one other thing to note: The place seems to be frequented by a younger crowd (high school and college age kids driving up in their BMWs and Land Rovers). I'm not making judgements. I'm just sayinggggg.....
So after hearing good things for a while, I finally got a chance to check out Delux last night and I had to put my two cents in.
It was a Friday, so I expected a bit of a wait, but the wait wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, especially since we decided to wait for an indoor table. I was excited that we were seated at the blue-lit center table - the only negative is the stools become very uncomfortable after some time, but everything else more than made up for it.
I was pretty impressed overall. Friendly service, cool atmosphere and really good food - and I definitely felt like we got our money's worth. I ordered a dirty martini that was really more like two, since they left the shaker with me. Both their regular and sweet potato fries are really good, with a great dipping sauce. I decided I had to go for the delux burger - and for $9.50 you get a lot of burger, not only in size but also in flavor. It's smothered in maytag and gruyere cheese and caramelized onions and I love the bread they use for the bun. Oh and I love how they recommend it cooked medium-rare - perfect.
I didn't have beer this time, but I'll definitely go back for the beer selection. It was very exciting to see how many they had on tap for such a small restaurant.
Due to it's smaller size, it's probably not a great place for a big group, but if you have just a few people, it's a fun place and you definitely you get your money's worth. Oh and did I mention they serve food till 2 a.m., everyday? That's amazing for Phoenix. I'll definitely be back.
Yummy!! I had a tasty tasty Delux hamburger!! And their sweet potato chips are just perfect combination. Decoration is original and you don't even feel like eating fast food. Service was GREAT! My hamburger was forgotten (we were in a large group), but when the bill came, it included a 10% discount on the house for the delay! Worth to try!
Delux's fries, sweet potato fries and aioli (garlicy, olive oil sauce) are really what makes them special. Try them and get out. Bar has a great selection of beers.
Service was nice and the ambiance aspires towards a Deutsch discotech. We opted to sit outside because the neon blue lighting inside looked overbearing.
The Delux burger itself is much meatier than most burgers, and I think this is what impresses most people. Unfortunately, the meat and bread lack flavour. On return visits, I tried it a few more times, but there's something about the meat that sets me off. I usually walk away feeling not quite right and suspect the meat has been treated.
Nice place for people who don't care too much about the food but want an interesting ambiance; otherwise, it seems to stretch its image of itself beyond reality somewhat. I don't object too strongly to coming here, but on my own accord, would not choose to visit again.
Great burger (absolutely melts like butter)
Lots of tasty beers
Delicious fries (regular and sweet potato)
not much more you need to know.
As a long time Delux customer (I even have the 10% off VIP silver card) I'm sure to eat here almost a few times a month. You can't be the classic Delux Burger (medium) and a basket of mix fries.
I do want to say that over the past few months however the service has seem to have lost the personal touch and attention to detail I remember. Smiles and warm greetings have been replaced with sometime forgotten orders and rather robotic sever personalities.
Normally that would get a 3-star rating in my book, but there's a special place in my heart for Delux, so they still squeak by with 4.
De. Lish. Us.
Delux was one of the first restaurants I went to upon moving to Phoenix and I have gone back a few times since, mainly at lunch during the work week. It's my favorite burger spot.
The atmosphere is slightly on the pretentious side. However, it's very small and pretty cramped. Even at lunch during the week it can feel cramped at a table and there's a big chance of waiting in line awhile. I've sat both inside and outside and felt a little too close to the other tables. It's a little complicated with bigger groups also.
The food however is amazing. I always get the same thing, a delux burger and sweet potato fries. I don't care if you are scared of medium rare, you need to try this thing. It's one of the most amazing burger's I've had and I can never finish the entire thing. I'd love to have a mini one. That would be perfect. A regular order of fries comes in an adorable metal mini shopping cart. Also good to note is that by default you do not get just ketchup with your fries. Being a non tomato eater, it's nice to not have to remember to ask for another dipping sauce.
Oh the beer list you ask? Phenomenal. Being able to order a red velvet always makes me happy. Unique beer flights make me happy also.
I never have room for dessert while I'm there but I did have a friend order the cookies they brag about one time. It was rather hard and I wasn't impressed. That cookie should have been soft and chewy and full of deliciousness.
It's a bit on the pricey side, and you typically are going to have to wait awhile and/or be cramped, but if you're not in a hurry, it's worth checking out.
