My family and I have been coming to Lush Burger often over the past few months. Our experience overall has been great. The servers are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the food is consistent.
The lunch special is 2 dollars plus the price of the burger you order. I usually get the Lushburger classic (normally $8) with sweet potato fries and an iced tea. I like my hamburgers medium to medium well, and Lushburger delivers. The sweet potato fries are fantastic, and you can get the iced tea in a giant to-go cup to take with you after you leave. So for $10 I get a great meal. Sometimes my mom and I even split it.
Yes, the burger is pricey. But in North Scottsdale, it's pretty hard to get a lunch under $10 that isn't Subway or In N Out. And you can only eat at AJ's and Wildflower so many times. I tried the new BluBurger location at the Summit (North Scottsdale and Lone Mountain) but was not impressed. Around the same price but the atmosphere and quality was lacking.
