| - Went late last night with the family after a long day. Wanted to try The Grind, but they close at 9:30. Next up; Delux.
Went in, got seated promptly. Service was excellent. Ordered a Delux burger, and 2 Chinese Chicken Salads. $9.5, and $9 respectively. 1 beer, 2 glasses of wine, and two Ketels and Soda. The basket of mixed fries; get ready for it.... $6. Are you effing serious? Grand total, $77. Tip and total $83. (edit: my numbers were off, and it was brought to my attn that the tip sucked... so it was closer to $87 or 88.. we did leave a fair tip because the service was good.)
Value. It sucked. 6 bucks for a basket of mixed fries; it had better come with a blow-job. The bread on the burger was a little firm. Not saying stale, but a little firm. The burger was cooked right, but it just missed something. The salads were good, but not great. Just a ho-hum meal.
Great selection of beers on tap, and a great bar. Great service, too, but the food left too much on the plate to be taken seriously as a $100 burger joint.
For almost $100 you should leave with a big smile on your face, not holding your ass like someone just raped you.
Gotta say... It was entertaining watching a girl make out with two different guys at the same time. (+1 star) The whole group was snowed out of their minds. (-1 star) Think she put that in the, "things I did last night that I do not remember" category? Eh, maybe. But, it was a little awkward sitting with my family while watching the sexcapade.
So, the lesson here boys and girls is, when it's the only late-night game in town, you can charge whatever you want.
