Delux is different, yeah it's different ...
Think outdoor pool club scene meets Niman Prime Angus gourmet burgers on Ciabatta meets sushi meets retro bakery menu. Sound weird? More like a true condensed description of Delux if you ask me.
To be honest I bookmarked Delux, because i love me a good burger and the little shopping cart holding the fries here are just so darn adorable- hey, what can I say I'm a sucker for cute packaging and eccentric food presentation.
I decided to go for their signature Delux burger and had a bottle of Kirin to share with my roomie- don't judge it was Happy Hour and the bottle was only $7.
Delux Burger- Fresh ground, all-natural, grain fed, niman ranch certified premium beef, caramelized onion & small bits of applewood smoked bacon, a blend of gruyere & maytag bleu cheeses & topped with baby arugula. served on a toasted, handcrafted demi-baguette (seems more like a ciabatta to me)
This is hardly a burger, if anything it's a burger for two. Comes in a demi baguette so it's in a strange oblong sandwich shape, nonetheless it is damn good! I got my patty medium- well and the beef was tender, juicy and had that signature niman ranch flavor. The cheese wasn't strong in bleu cheese and the touch of carmelized onions added a good sweetness. The arugula gave it a kick of pepper, but slightly and the bread was substantial enough to hold this huge burger all together without getting soggy.
Really good burger though I would say if you're a small gal like me share a burger with a friend and share an app as well. I ate only half of my burger and took the other half home and was stuff with the beer and all.
The environment was awesome to be in and service was good. A bit pricey, but for a gourmet burger this good- it's well worth it.
