Perhaps the hippest joint to open in L.A. in some time. Wait a sec. Did we say L.A.? Sorry, but Lenny Rosenbergs concept is so cool that even erstwhile Angelenos will be impressed. There are $9 gourmet burgers, 40 international beers on tap, and a jazzy vibe with which only nearby Zen 32 can compete. No surprise there: Rosenberg is the brain behind both places, and we offer him our gratitude for a grill and bar that serves both food and brew into the wee hours, catering to a young, attractive crowd of sophisticated urbanites. Eat your heart out, La-La Land.
Their self-named burger is the best. Perfect toppings, great bread and always perfectly cooked. Make sure to order their sweet potato fries, you won't be disappointed. I'm surprised sweet potato fries aren't served in more places after trying them here. Highly recommended!

Overall:
It's your typical swanky environment with the attempt at being a posh and hip place to be. The service is okay, nothing over the top. The menu isn't extravegant, it's limited. Food is okay, the burger is by far the best thing on the menu. The salads are okay, nothing spectacular. The prices are what you'd expect for the area. The sweet potatoe fries are so-so, I've had better other places. I think on the whole the place is a bit over-rated.

Overall:
This place is phenomenal. I think the first review is a joke. These burgers are a steal for $8 bucks and the mixed fries are amazing with the secret pink sauce. The most important thing that has yet to be touched on is the fact that they have over 100 beers to choose from. Delux isn't trying to be the hippest place in the world. It is great burgers and great beer. What a match!

Overall:
Good burger. First two bites of mahi burger were great, but I lost interest in the fish after tasting the burger. After all the hype I read about the sweet potato fries, I was underwhelmed with the soggy texture. Then again, I like my SWFs crispy! I've had better elsewhere. Atmosphere was nice (and blue!), but not for me. Service was lacking- not only did server forget about our fries, (which may account for the sogginess), but he wasn't very helpful when it came to menu recommendations.
I may be back, but there are other places to try first!

I've always sat outside here so can't rate the inside, but it looks kind of crowded in there. The burgers are wonderful. I agree with above review - SWFs are a bit soggy, but I still scarfed them down.
