I had to try this after reading all the positive reviews here on Yelp. I was not disappointed.

The look of the place is very modern an chic. The wait was only 20 min on a Saturday night, the service was excellent. The group seating was unique, but enjoyable.

I savored my Delux burger and tried my gf's Panini Chicken sandwich - both were delicious. We also tried the sweet potato and french fries with an amazing mayo-chili sauce they served along with ketchup. The iced tea was really good too (which is hard to find).

I will definitely keep Delux on my radar.

So, I know I am not the first to review Delux, but it was a pretty good experience, so here I am.  First, let me be honest.  I don't eat red meat.  This makes eating at Delux a little unusual but pleasently enough, not impossible.  I went with my friend (early, because I have seen how busy it gets when I hit up Zen 32).  The decor was super cute (which I find important) and I love that french fries come in a shopping cart.  

Anyway, I went because my friend had a major hankering for some of the cupcakes.  I got the turkey burger (because of the no red meat thing) and it was pretty fantastic.  I took off the tomato (I hate them), but they had a cute sign that told the customers why theirs were still safe.  My friend had a burger (of some sort...I didn't pay too much attention...sorry) and she really enjoyed it (although she asked for medium and it was probably medium rare...she couldn't eat the middle).  I am telling you that it is good.  I want to go back for sure.

Oh yeah, one last thing, the burgers are huge!  I couldn't finish mine...but I really did want to...

Ah delux you little fancy hamburger joint, that must have a corporate account at Ikea or something because that place is chalk full of swedish furniture. Any how this place is pretty fun, its open till 2 in the morn which is a big plus in my book, the tap beer is extensive but in a beer snob way its kinda boring. It reminds me of the fathers office, I'm sure they ripped the shopping cart thing from them but its all gravy if you like fancy burgers at 2 in the morn than go getcha some son.

Delux, seriously. It's well-done. The kitchen stays open until 2am and the Grilled Cheese is out of this "californian cuisine" galaxy. I had to switch from the Delux Burger because I think it stopped my heart for a few seconds in my sleep the night I decided to take it all in. I'm usually just here for the beer anyways and it's not bad with 17+ on tap.

No can do on Friday/ Saturday night. The wait will be an hour. Yes, still.
Shut up you CenPho/ Biltmore trendsters.... oh wait.

Pretty awesome joint, except it left little to the herbivores. The potatoes are great, serving either french or sweet fries, the little shopping cart they come in is interesting (and confusing). good place to go in Phoenix when you got a hunger after midnight and Denny's just ain't cuttin it any more. sad though that it seems out of place in a strip mall sandwiched (or hamburgered i might say) between an Asian restaurant and a nail salon. awesome hip, feel, but packed at 1:30 am. the cranberry and white chocolate chip cookies are orgasmic by the way.

DUDE, I would TOTALLY go back. The atmosphere of this place is absolutely awesome. You walk in and it feels like a modern, classy lounge. The first thing I noticed was the ridiculous amount of beers they have on tap. As I sat down, I proceeded to count and they had 40 different beers on tap. FORTY. I've NEVER seen that many in my life!! That's raw -- way to go Delux.

DELUX BURGER (the first one on the menu) - Um, YEAH IT HIT THE SPOT. I wasn't brave enough to try the cheese that was on the burger so I swapped it for some melted cheddar. The waitress even suggested I do that if I wasn't bold enough to try this two cheese mix that was supposed to go on the burger. Shrug.

FRENCH FRIES - Kinda tasted like McDonalds...so it was GOOD.

SWEET POTATO FRIES - This is a MUST ORDER.

Anyway, your fries come in a cute small shopping cart w/ a side of ketchup and I believe what was a chipotle mayo sauce. It was tasty nonetheless and the chipotle mayo sauce tasted magnificent on your burger.

This place can get somewhat pricey but it was $10 for an orgasmic burger. YUM. Definitely a cute place to go on a casual date.

The only down to this place is the stripmall-esque location. But this is not your average burger joint. These are creative, high-end burgers. You have your choice of regular our sweet potato (not my cup of tea) fries, served in a mini table-top shopping cart. Great selection of beers and an AWESOME trendy bar. Definitely worth check-in out

Good food, good service and nice environment.  I ordered the hot dog with fries and had a Kemp's root beer to drink, for lunch.  The fries (regular not sweet potato) were excellent and the hot dog was pretty good, too.  The only thing that could be improved upon is the seating.  I sat at the long community table and I liked that idea, but the bar stools are bolted to the floor, so I had to sit an uncomfortable distance from the table.  At the least, I'd prefer to be able to move the bar stools.  The best change may be to get rid of the bar stools for more comfortable high seated chairs.  All in all a very good experience.

I loved everything about this place except the location.  I was a little drunk from a wedding when I visited & all I could remember about the location was that it was in a strip mall next to a Safeway supermarket. No Bueno!  

Get past that & there's no turning back.  The atmosphere draws you in like a moth to a flame & then curiousity strikes....it looks like a bar so will their food taste like 'bar food'?? Nope, not at all!!  I had a delux burger, sweet potato fries, a red velvet cupcake for dessert & a martini (I forget what's it's called) to wash it all down.

Ahh...that's the stuff [food] dreams are made of.

My boyfriend just reviewed this place and although we have never  been here together - I thought that I might chime in as well. I really enjoyed this little burger place.  It makes eating a burger seem fancy in a very modern setting.  I really LIKE the sweet potato french fries....Mmmmm!

Great burgers!  If you're going to pay $9 for a hamburger, this is the place to do it.  Don't forget to get the sweet potato fries.......& if you wanna go for a real calorie fest............ the milkshakes are good too.  
Unfortunately, I will say I was rather disappointed with the Red Velvet Cupcake.  It was just the opposite of what it should be.  It's dry & there is waaaaaay too much frosting.
Service is good, but expect to wait a little bit for a table, no matter what time you go.

Ohhh Delux. This is definitely the spot to cure a hungry stomach. The panini's are pretty incredible and their french fries in their little carts are their best match. Their burgers are equally as awesome, they're not your typical burger joint. This place adds character to their burgers, something that doesn't come around often.

One of the few that is open late (2 AM), which is always a plus, but the only downfall is that it is always crowded whenever I go.

Oh heavens.

I think of this place when I'm at work on a stressful day, willing my bottled water to morph into a chocolate Delux martini.  I am on pins and needles waiting for their new location to open on Scottsdale and Camelback so it'll be just a hop, skip, and a jump away from work.  

I'll admit it: I've never had a Delux burger.  Oh, I've had their sweet potato fries and orgasmic chipotle sauce; I've had their French vanilla and chocolate martinis; I've been there in both the afternoon and the evening.  But I stick to what I know and love, and that's the caprese salad (or, "tomato mozzarella salad," as it's listed on the menu).  It really doesn't get much better than that.  

The ambience is hip and cozy, my favorite spot being not the booths or the bar, but the long blue lit table in the middle, where you have a bird's eye view of the whole room.  It's a good spot to sit and drink and watch the sun go down.

I used to go here with one of my best friends, Chris Page, who recently passed.  I wasn't sure how I'd handle it, going back for the first time since he's been gone, what with the times we'd had there fairly permeating throughout the place.  However, the bittersweet nostalgia was quickly squelched by the idiocy of our waitress, who clearly was not aware of what planet she was on.  She was harmless and sweet enough, but not very bright.  She had to ask us several times for our order, and then brought out the wrong things.  She even brought one of my friends a coke without rum when she had very clearly had enunciated her choice of beverage.  It took her at least half an hour to come back and check on us, at which point she didn't note our empty glasses and listlessly said something vague about how she didn't know when our food would be out.  Frankly, I was embarrassed, because having been there numerous times with impeccable, speedy service, I was worried about my friends to whom I was introducing Delux for the first time thinking that the service was utter crap.  I laughed nervously and remarked to my friends in a low voice that the "tip meter" was running.

Thankfully, the sweet potato fries were amazing, and we tried to eat them slowly as our stomachs rumbled during almost an hour while we waited for our food.  When the entrees came out, my guests were duly impressed by the quality of the cuisine and quickly forgot the ditz waitress, albeit an empty drink or two...or three.

In summation, the food is excellent, and the martinis are even better.  But perhaps nowadays the service is touch and go.  I'll have to go back and reassess.

FOOD: Arguably the best burger I've ever had. The sauce they have on it is what makes it. The bread is also good. The sweet potato fries are a must have! Get a pint of beer to wash it down, they have a good selection.

PRICE: Expensive by burger standards. A burger is about $9, drinks are around $6, fries around $3.

SERVICE: The wait can be painful, I once waited over an hour with some friends for a table. The dining area is simply too small for how many people want to eat at Delux. Luckily, they gave us a discount on our meal for waiting so long.

ATMOSPHERE: Really odd blend of stylish bar and a burger joint. It's funny to see people dress all up for a burger.

SKINNY: Come here on weekends with a group of friends for an excellent burger and good drinks. You will be back again.

Atmosphere is a little too "hip" for me, but not bad.  Food is REALLY good.  Had an excellent burger, and sweet potato fries (Ta-HAY-STEE! - and served in a mini shopping cart).  Oh, and a chocolate shake as well, which was really good.  It's served with 2 straws, date or not, so there ya go.   No alcohol for me so I can't comment on that... but the vittles are top notch, yet at bar room prices.

Excellent!  Sometimes a little noisy.  Sometimes a wait.

I pretty much always get a lettuce wrap cheeseburger, their bread is too big AND sweet potato fries!  I love how the fries come out in little shopping carts.  

It was the first restaurant I had been too after living in NYC that reminded me of NYC!  That was one of reasons we kept going back.  And now they have cupcakes too!  Or just head across the street for gelato!

I would move back to Phoenix just for this restaurant.  My roomate introduced me and although I've been there only once, that was all it took for me to fall in love with this unique Burger joint.   Its probably the best burger I'll ever have!  The fries (regular and sweet potato) come in cute little shopping carts!  Great beer selection and the menu isn't too extensive, but don't bother with anything else than the burger! Not too pricey, and the wait staff is friendly.  Unfortunately is so damn good, its always crowded and the seating area is just so friggin small!  You're kinda seated family style on this long table on bar chairs that don't move.  Wait can be looong sometimes, but trust me, its all worth it in the end when you take your first bite!!  Gosh, my mouth is watering!!!!

I have been here so many times... to many to count in fact.  And I always resisted writing a review because there are so many already that I didn't think it would matter.  But last night I went to dinner there with Michael and a couple girlfriends of mine... we had a great time and the service was awesome!  Our server's name was Jaime and she was wonderful!  I just wanted to let everyone know that good service at delux is possible:)  Of course I got the delux burger and a basket of sweet potato fries... Yummy!

You can't spell overrated without a D and an E, and those letters are also in Delux.  Coincidence?  Well, probably so.  Delux is decent.  The food they serve tastes good, but not good enough to warrant the price or the hype.  I wouldn't go back there with out either A) a fight, or B) a very good reason.

The first time I went there there could not have been more anticipation
Graham:  "Dude, Delux was voted best burger in the city!"  
Me, thinking:  holy crap, best burger in the city?  That must be amazing!  Zips has some fantastic burgers, the bacon bbq, or the sweet jalapeno...Delux must just blow it away!  I wonder what crazy topping they put on their burgers that make them so good?????

Once I saw the menu I was immeaditly bitter.  There was no amazing selection of cleverly named burgers with glorious toppings unknown to man.  No caramelized onions with real caramel.  Just two options of burger, a turkey burger, and maybe a veggie burger.  I felt like we went to sonic, "hmmm, do I want the number one, the burger with tomato and mayonaise, or the number two, the burger with pickles and ketchup?"  

So the burgers are what, like $10?  Not bad right?  Wait, that doesn't include fries, so now I'm paying like $14 for a burger and fries?  Better be an amazing burger and fries!  

It wasn't.

The burger is average.  The fact of the matter is, ground beef can only get so good.  A good burger is made by toppings and toppings alone.  Well, that and not being overcooked.    The sweet potato fries were good but not good enough to make it worth the trip.  

If you want a good burger, go to Zips and if you want a good burger in a more refined environment, go to Houston's.  If you want fries just go to McDonalds - or better yet, buy your own sweet potato and I'll give you my recipe for home fries.  The only reason to go to Delux is to feel important because you just paid $14 for a burger and fries.

Delux is always a good choice for a burger and a beer.  The hosts, servers, and bartenders are all very helpful, hip and seemingly all cool.  The real draw for me is the 25+ eclectic craft and micro brews on tap.  You can try some great Belgian style brews as well as eccentric American craft lagers and ales.  Good stuff for sure and if you are OK with a wait, Delux is a great burger and beer spot.

Delux seemed a little yuppie for me, but we tried it anyways after my friend kept raving about it. I got the original Delux burger with the caramelized onions and whatnot on it. I liked the soft baguette it came on; but at the same time when I want a burger I want a BURGER, you know? So one of those oversized buns would have been better, I think. We shared an order of the sweet potato and regular fries, which were good with that aoili dip that comes with it. They were crispy and thin cut, which I liked.

I was disappointed with their small selection of burgers. I like variety. But they did offer salads (the chinese chicken salad, by the way, is great) and I think a few other items. On the plus side, they're open to 2am... and they have cool bathrooms if that counts for anything.

Overrated.

I finally got up the motivation to make the 16 mile drive to Delux. Went for a late lunch on Saturday. Whilst good, I was not wowed by any means. I had the delux Burger. First off I ordered my burger medium, which apparently means medium well at Delux because it was cooked and labeled as such. This is not such a big deal for me but I wouldn't expect to get orange juice if I ordered lemonade. Secondly, they pre-mix their cheese so you can't subtract the Bleu cheese and get only the Gruyere. Ok, I'll do pre-mixed cheese, but why?.

Service was fine and not much of a wait for food. Burger comes out and the amount of grilled onions on it I would classify as insufficient. Taste, meh, it's just a burger to me. What I have learned recently is that I prefer thin double sloppy burgers like those from Lenny's as opposed to burgers served up at places like Delux (and Stax).

Since they have cupcakes I must partake. I got two to go. Black & White and Raspberry (flavor of the day). Cracked into them an hour later and again, no wow. Frosting was tasty, but the cake part was a bit dry. I'd pay $3 for one quarter of a Cupcake Jones cupcake (Portland, OR) before I pay $3 for a Delux cupcake again.

Pricewise, also disappointing. $9.50 for a burger with no side? Cmon! Take that hokey wasted beet/carrot garnish and make it into a coleslaw at least. $6 for a side of French Fries? I can get 2lbs of deliciousness for $2.50 at Islands. They're also very wasteful when it comes to their ketchup/zesty sauce for French Fry dipping. My girlfriend and I definitely didn't need one tray each. Of what was given to us, more than 3/4 was thrown away.

I had higher hopes for Delux, makes me a bit sad, I really wanted to be wowed by this place.

Delicious food! Sweet potato fries are to die for, wish I could make them myself just like theirs. They come in a little mini-grocery cart, so cute! I remember we had these seasonal beer samplers - I think you get like five samples of beer or something; they tell you all about each one. Very cool. I like sitting outside so you can people-watch. Gelato Spot is a must afterward (100 feet away or so).  

My only complaint would be the size of the place. You are in close quarters with everyone and can't really get the intimate feel if you're on a date.

I visited this place on the way home from getting my taxes done and I was famished.  My wife and I sat at the long, blue table along the middle of the restaurant...We ordered the mixed fry shopping cart with both normal fries and the sweet potato kind...Great!  The spicy aioli mix was great and the fries were seasoned just right...The Delux burger was worth the hype I'd heard..Grain-fed, well-cooked and perfectly well done!  My wife's turkey burger was good too and I usually hate turkey burgers..
They have an amazing beer selection...I actually got a Four Peaks Hop Knot and I wasn't at Papago or Four Peaks...
I was really pleasantly surprised and recommend this place highly...
I can only imagine after a night of drinking how a burger would taste at one in the morning!

Can you be a member of PHX yelp having NOT reviewed Delux?  This is like being jumped into Los Yelpes Gigantes.

Since Delux has been reviewed consistently for over two years, there is nothing that I can offer as a varied opinion, but i thought, what the hell?  I don't stop breathing air just cos everyone else has already done it.  Some things are necessary.

Delux is like your all-time favorite song.  Sure, you've had it over and over again, you know its intricacies, you've interpreted, and digested its offerings.  And then something happens that shocks you.  You get sick of it.

So, you stash it away, lose it on your memory's playback, and banish it from your favorite playlist.

Sometime later, it comes up again, and you think ... "Oh yeahhhh!"

This is Delux.  

So you go back, get your usual pint of Anchor Steam, your maytag burger, and the halfer of sweet potato/boring potato fries.

Then you wonder why you ever shunned it.  

This shit is great.  I won't ever dismiss it again.  Pretty soon, it will be a classic and you'll hear everyone talk stories about it, how they were there in 1972 when Delux opened for The Kinks.

Its open late, its tasty, its better than seating at a Denny's late night, but I don't think I crave anything from there except for the Sweet Potato french fries, and if your a slob like me and don't mind a mild heart attack along with your food, ask for the Pesto Mayo with your Burger...yummmm

It's a small joint with a very stylish modern trendy atmosphere.  I agree with Paul K.  Go for the fries and atmosphere!!  Get the Delux burger, not the original (even though it's cheaper).

+Beer selection is extensive.
+Try the Gazpacho soup!  It's amazing!  Good for an appetizer.
+Best for dinner b/c the blue lighting is more apparent.  
+Best to sit at the middle bar table.
+Staff is very friendly in all my several times there.
+Turkey burger is great!
+Deserts are rich and yum!!
+Sweet potato fries are some of the best in the Valley.  Fez and Delux are at a tie with their sweet potato fries, but Fez does offer a twist to theirs by adding cinnamon.
+Get the mix basket of fries. Fries come with ketchup and another good sauce.
+Fries do not come with burger

However, I love that it is open late and they also happen to have the best damn sweet potato fries in town (think aioli!). The burgers are the only way to go here, I've had the tuna sandwich and the fish was horribly dry. As well as the veggie wrap. The salads are mediocre for their price.

Def stick with the burgers.

Don't come for the burgers or the sandwiches.

Come for the fries and the atmosphere.

I agree with most of the reviews, the fries are awesome and its a great people watching place.  They have the tilted mirrors.  I would have given it one star but the fries are really good (mainly the dipping sauce).

Its kinda cramped so look out for large parties.  The bathrooms are large, clean, stylish, lockable, and unisex. So if you don't go for the food at least go for the fun.

So I stopped eating meat a while back and often find myself lusting over a big, juicy burger.  Delux has the best 'gourmet' burgers that satisfy my occasional burger needs.  On top of that they make yummy french fries that come out in cute mini shopping carts.  I like to get the regular and sweet potato mix.  Order up a Grey Goose martini with two olives and I am in pure junk food heaven.  Perfect for the late night crowd too since they are open until 2am I believe AND they now have to go orders.  Cute little place.  Forget Wendy's, Burger King and Jack cause this is where one should get some tasty burgers!

An upscale version of Papago Brewery, pricier for beer than Papago, but it serves good burgers.  Since Phoenix metro is a mass brand beer town, many of Delux' taps have been sitting for periods of time, so the quality could be suspect, imo.

This is one of my favorite burger places...and it doesn't hurt that they make some fantastic martinis to go with :)

The sweet potato fries are the best in the city - if I say so myself (and I think I've tried them all).  Sometimes you have to wait here, but it is always worth the extra time.

OMG I just found this little place no one has ever heard of called Delux. Yea, Delux, without the e at the end. Tre creative. Ok, so it's my first visit and here goes. Service was great. Thank you Lacy. Room was comfy, we sat at the large community table, had great people watching. Fries were yummy tho a VERY small portion in exchange for one Abraham. The Delux Burger had no flavor of Maytag Blue cheese (or Kenmore for that matter...god that's not even remotely funny) or bacon. Cupcake at the end was dee lish. My favorite part was a picture of Pink's hot dog stand on La Brea in L.A. that adorned the wall.  Although my freshman Delux experience was aight....I couldn't help but stare at the framed photo of my second favorite weenie stand in the good ole u s of a! Three stars. That's all.

I am not sold.....yet.

We came here for lunch on a Saturday before hitting Fashion Square to do Christmas shopping. We figured that we'd need the energy to battle the crowds at the mall and that we could walk off the caloric intake of this meal.

There was quite a crowd when we arrived, and we waited for about 20 minutes for a table...not so bad, but it was sort of annoying to have to wait outside with the scenic view of the strip mall parking lot since there was really no room to stand inside.

Neither my husband or I were blown away by the food. The atmosphere is really neat, and for some reason I was incredibly intrigued by the fact that the restrooms' sinks are outside of the restrooms themselves.....what a quirky but neat set up. Random that I noticed, I know.

The food was mediocre, but the service was good. Our waiter was attentive and got everything to us correctly and in a timely manner. However, the food wasn't anything special in my opinion. If the fries weren't served in whimsical grocery carts, I doubt they'd really impress you, but that's just a guess.

I also didn't love the fact that I could overhear the conversations on both sides of me. Not that it wasn't entertaining to hear a gentleman try to explain to his table why it was more intelligent to withdraw large sums of money from an ATM that charges fees because it effectively decreases the interest rate. I 100% agreed with his logic but did not need to hear the explanation 42 times. On the other side of us was a curious couple that appeared to be on a date, which was worrisome in itself since it could have been a father/daughter combo. However, I highly doubt that fathers ask their daughters generic "tell me about yourself" questions.

Anyway, the main point is that I am not sold on Delux. I'd like to go back to see if my opinion changes. I like the atmosphere, and I like the service. I just don't know if I agree with the prices - I'd call it overpriced I think. So if you'd like to treat me in an attempt to change my mind, be my guest.

Great fries and sauce. Pretty much it. Waiters and Waitresses are usually very friendly but very busy. Kind of over-priced for what it is and very yuppie filled.

We had a friend in town and wanted a place to stop at before going bowling (not in the mood for bowling alley food).  Delux was only about a mile away and was pretty much perfect.  We split the mixed order of fries (half sweet potato, half plain old potato) which were DELISH.  They brought the fries out before the rest of the food, which was fine with us since we were hungry.  We also split a shake three ways which was fantastic.  We were all happy with our meals (Delux burger, beet salad, and mahi-mahi sandwich), and it was great sitting outside.  The only reason I didn't give a fifth star was because the service was a little spotty at times.  I'm pretty sure our server didn't come back to see how the food was though he was there several other times.  Overall a fun experience, and I'm really excited that they're open so late!
