We are no longer accepting reservations via OpenTable. Please visit our new reservation platform at https://www.exploretock.com/dlux-madison/. Walk-ins are always welcome as well. See you soon.

We make awesome smash burgers—that’s our thing. All-beef patties smashed thin on a hot griddle for a caramelized crust, layered with cheese and whatever wild toppings we can get our hands on. Naturally, we back up our burgers with fries and milkshakes, and a full bar of beer and craft cocktails. Great wings and curds, vegetarian options, too, and every month we invent a new Burger and Shake of the Month.

    The service was good and the food was alright as well. However, the menu was much shorter than the online menu so there weren’t many options to pick from. Overall, nice place.

    Compared to past visits, this place has gone way down hill! Upon entering, the floor was filthy. It looked like nobody cleaned up after a room full of toddlers. Once seated, we ordered drinks and waited over 30 minutes for them. The server forgot 2 of the 6 drinks ordered. The server apologized and said she was leaving for the night and a new server would take over. We waited another 30 minutes to order. Service was bad. Food was mediocre. We likely won’t return. :(

    We had a girls night! The food was good but the service was a bit lacking. They brought out our food but did not give us any napkins. Had to wait several minutes from when our server brought our food out before they asked if we needed anything else. We got our paper napkins while everyone else had cloth…thought that was a bit odd. We were also only asked if se wanted another round of drinks once we were done eating. Minus that the food was great! and drinks were good too!

    Ordered a beer that I have always been served in a bottle on prior trips there. Guy brought out a draft and I told him I requested a bottle of beer. He asked if I could live with it and Seth it down. It was flat and not very cold. Bad experience with drinks persisted thru water - also served at room temp, two tiny ice cubes. Food was good.

    Terrific server and delicious food. My father in law, who's a burger fan, loved his burger. I loved my chicken salad - and I'm picky. The fries were hot and delicious. The boozy shake my sister in law had was, she said, delicious.

    If you like boozy milkshakes this is the place to be! Our French toast shakes for dessert were the highlight of the meal. And the service was great too. But our Cobb and Green Goddess salads were plagued by a few pieces of slimy lettuce lurking in the bowls and the chips we used to get as homemade-style potato chips are now served in a coffee cup and come from a bag. (The added seasoning didn't fool us a bit.) Our server said she doubted they would be bringing back the real thing anytime soon, if ever.

    It was our first time here. Ordered two burger flights to try several kinds. Had 6 different ones, with the DLUX burger being the favorite at the table. The rest were okay. We had not realized that they serve smashed burgers, which means you don't get to pick your finishing temperature; all burgers are cooked to well-done, which isn't terrible, but we prefer the thick patty kind that you can cook to your desired doneness. Order a couple of kid meals for a couple of children - they loved the fries but did not care for the grilled cheese sandwiches. Overall it's an okay place. Very good service.

    We had brunch/lunch on Sunday. The DLux will take a reservation! The brunch menu is limited to “brunchwiches”, so our party of four ordered from the regular menu. The burgers are á la carte and seemed starkly alone on the plate. The service was excellent and the food arrived quickly.

    My only negative: for dessert, I ordered a boozy vegan shake. The server brings it to me, sets the glass down in front of me and says, "There's a chunk of glass missing from the top and it's sharp so drink from this other side. Oh, and there's a crack going down the side, so don't squeeze too hard." She walked away before I could say anything, but I was able to flag someone else down and ask them to remake it.... for all I knew, the chip of glass could have been in the drink! Was amazed that a server thought that would be OK to serve it like that! Dangerous!
