| - As an avid Food Fight fan, I was excited to finally try DLUX . We arrived later, around 8 pm, and found the place still to be bustling enough to be fun...assuming it's because their food is so good. While I've heard pretty mixed reviews on the place I went in without any pre-conceived notions. Our server was very friendly and open to making suggestions. We were excited and surprised to see Lagunitas IPA on tap here (yes I know we live in Wisconsin, but we love their craft brew from Cali too!).
Appetizer: the queso with corn served with fritos...kind of gross, but kind of good. Reminds me of the velveeta with rotel dip you make in the crockpot. Wouldn't order it again.
Burgers: We had the mushroom and swiss and the sunrise burger (with bacon added). Both were just OK...the bacon and swiss was cooked to our liking, but as a basic burger with just a few toppings, it wasn't anything special. The sunrise burger had the egg cooked over hard (I thought most times they were at least over medium) and had no sauce or ketchup on it at all. The addition of bacon I thought was priced reasonably at $1.25.
Fries: We split the bacon blue cheese fries. The fries were cooked well, but were drenched is some sort of other cheese, not blue cheese, then sprinkled with blue cheese crumbles and bacon. If you want real blue cheese and bacon fries, head over to the Tipsy Cow just a few blocks away...those are amazing.
Ambiance and interiors were "meh". Our topic of conversation was how many other better burgers there are downtown (Sardine's bar menu, Tipsy Cow, Old Fashioned) Overall this place was just OK...if I want a good burger and fries downtown there are MUCH better options...I'm surprised it's a Food Fight restaurant!
