| - Delux is good...it's just not as great as people make it out to be. They've got decent burgers, but they're nowhere near the best around. It's not worth a special trip to eat there, but if you're in the neighborhood anyway Delux isn't a bad place to eat.
You can tell they use high quality ingredients in the burgers, but the overall combination of flavors isn't out and away mind-blowing or anything. They are good. I could even say they're "tasty"...but I can't extend any praise beyond that. Also, for a place that's supposedly known for their burgers, I find it odd that there are only 2 burger options on the menu. Another note: if you want your burger Medium Rare, then order it Medium; or, if you want it Medium, then order it Medium Well. They have a tendency to undercook your burger by one level -- at least they keep doing it to me. The last time I was there, my (supposedly) Medium Rare burger possessed all the color and delicious slimy texture of red, raw ground beef. "Mmmm....!" (said with sarcasm)
The inside is narrow and cramped -- hardly a place to kick back and get comfortable. The service is okay -- not super friendly, but not over-the-top rude either. The fries are delicious though. And the beer selection is good. Overall, this place is "just alright." I'm not a huge fan, but sometimes I'm in that neck of the woods and someone I'm with will want to go there. So, I can't say I'll never return...but I'm not looking forward to it. There are just so many amazing burger options in the Valley (SEE MY LIST), so I really don't see the point of going out of my way to get to Delux for their burger.
