| - Delux has been my go-to Burger place (other than In-n-Out of course) during my time in Arizona. Delux is open until 2AM.... 2AM!! Open until 2AM on sundays is unheard of! Given that I'm a night owl, Andrew and Delux are a match made in heaven.
The owner of Delux also owns the Zen 32 sushi bar and Revo Burrito, which all happen to be in the same shopping center. He controls 4 store fronts (also Delux To Go), which makes a pretty impressive representation in such a small area.
Delux offers indoor and outside seating, but like other yelpers mentioned, if you come with a party with more than 4, be prepared to wait. Most tables only sit 4, and will have to be moved together. There is a long community table in the center of the restaurant, which is a nice change for Phoenix... I say this because Phoenix seems like a place where people in restaurants pretend they're eating in their homes... and it's a social faux pas to talk to your neighbor.
Now for the food. The burgers are delicious. I personally recommend the delux burger. This comes with a cheese blend (which I always ask for no cheese, so I can't review it), bacon, sauteed onions, and arugula. I get this medium and with added tomato and pickles. Ask for a side of the aioli and ketchup to smear this on your bun, you'll thank me later.
As a compliment to your meal, order the sweet potato fries. The french fries are pretty standard, but the sweet potato fries are excellent. They come in a mini metal grocery shopping cart, which adds a nice touch. These are served with a side of the aioli and ketchup.
Delux has a very nice drink menu, with a large variety of beers and interesting drinks.
For the atmosphere, the restaurant is very hip, but far from hipster (which is good). You'll feel comfortable here dressed in either a jacket and jeans or even shorts and a t-shirt (you'll see both groups represented).
In summary, the food is excellent, the atmosphere is great, and the hours of unbeatable.
