When I dropped by Lux Lounge fairly early last Friday (around 5pm), it was still too early for any sort of after-work bar crowd, and I think I was the only person to order any food at the time (this will be important later).
The "Veggie option" for the burger was not on the printed menu, and I was told that they were in the process of changing the menu, and the veggie burger wasn't being phased out. There were a few veggie patties left, however, so it was still available.
De-Lux Burger $14.50 (Veggie option $12.50) House Made Beef Patty, Lettuce, Tomato, Sautéed Onions, Mushrooms, Bacon & Cheddsar Cheese topped off with House Mayo & a side of Crunchy House Cut Fries or Crispy Garden Salad
- The burger itself was decently put together. Two things jumped out at me right away:
- One, it was just lukewarm. I think mine was the only food order at the time, I guess I really had hoped for a bit more attention. Like, how about a freshly hot patty?
- Two, if the patty were house-made, it was the most perfectly shaped house-made patty I'd ever seen. It was probably from a pack of something bought somewhere. This may or may not irk you depending on whether you expect every food establishment to make everything from scratch--but honestly, do you expect all buns to be baked on site too?
- Sautéed onions was a nice touch and something I don't often see. Other than that, the burger itself was decently composed. The fries looked a bit dark (but not burnt) and were OK, but something about them was just not as good as your typical order of double-fried french fries.
For vegetarians, Lux Lounge may be better just for drinks, ambiance, and the free-to-use pool table.
