Deluxe Hamburgers
A Sudbury delight that holds its own against the McDonald's across the street.
Deluxe Hamburgers is a local fast food restaurant in Sudbury. They have two outlets with the flagship on Regent Street in the south end of the city.
There is one other location on Lorne Street.
The Regent Street restaurant sits right across the street from a McDonald’s. You would think that this would be the kiss of death for the Deluxe.
However, the Deluxe is more than holding its own. Their secret? Good food and great service. Every company talks about customer service but the Deluxe is a local Sudbury restaurant that understands what customer service means.
Menu
The Deluxe has an extensive fast food menu at reasonable prices.
I appreciate how the sit-in dinners are completely wrapped in aluminum foil. This insures that your meal remains hot.
This is the hamburger dinner. It consists of a hamburger, a large serving of French fries, a coleslaw and a container of chicken gravey.
I was surprised that they served chicken gravey with hamburgers. The gravey is fine when poured over the French Fries but it does not go well with the hamburger.
Their burgers and fries are good but their chicken dinners and chicken-on-a-bun are superb. The Deluxe chicken-on-a-bun consists of chicken slices and not a breaded chicken patty. The chicken is similar to what Swiss Chalet serves.
Covid-19
During the Covid-19 shutdown, the Deluxe was limited to drive-thru service. I wondered if this would discourage their customers and if business dried up.
On visit on this February Friday evening showed that their loyal customers had not abandoned them. (There were longer lineups at the McDonald’s drive-thru.
Our two quarter-chicken dinners were fully wrapped in tin foil to keep them hot until we got home.
Butterball, our family cat, loved the smell of the chicken dinners. Of course we had to give him some. He liked the taste of the chicken as much as he liked the smell.
As this seagull shows, both beast and fowl love the food at the Deluxe.
