luxe burger bar

great burgers, great spot. great place to grab a beer and a quick burger. burgers are pretty good, and thebarfood is equally as tasty. not a knock-your-socks off place, but it is a burger joint. i like to go there from time to time.

great food, excellent casual service. there is something hypnotic about thebarhere. it is one if my favorite places down city, but i've managed to over indulge on more than one occasion. the kobe beef burger is heaven on a bun. long live luxe!

room for improvement 4 sure. so, three of us made our way down to providence for a burger and bbq crawl.
my main objective was to hit a place called harry'sbar& burger. the other stops were mainly to indulge the rest of the away team. not wanting to eat what i hoped to be the best, first, we hit luxe as soon as we arrived.
they had just unlocked the doors as we entered. despite the tacky, retro, décor it was a clean and inviting atmosphere. the server was friendly, knowledgeable and the service was very quick. not wanting to load up, the three of us opted to split two burgers. rings, fries and some mac/cheese were agreed upon for sides. everything came pretty quick which might have been great except that a lot of the food had that rushed feel to it. out of the three of us, two liked the rings. they were of the bread crump type, a little light on the seasoning but crispy and somewhat flavorful. the traditional fries were the frozen kind and needed more cooking time. they were not golden brown and certainly not crispy. all three of us liked the plain mac&cheese although i thought it could use a bit more flavor, it was creamy and the pasta was still al dente.
k. none of us liked the burgers. we ordered one kobe and one traditional. one was to be med/rare and the other one med. both burgers arrived as if they were meant to be served on a rawbaralong with oysters and little necks. we didn't order those! they're not even on the menu! i said, it was a burger bar! pay attention! the cheese wasn't even melted. in the end, there was more burger left over than eaten. had this been our main and only stop i probably would have sent them back. as it was, we just took a few bites, observed and discussed how disappointed we were, told the server everything was great and got the hell out of there. under other circumstance, it would have been easy to put that experience behind and move on but…..
my friend had told me that harry'sbar& burger was owned by the same conglomerate as luxe. gulp, i struggled to take my anticipation of that place down a notch. easier said then done. curious to know how that went?
well, read my review for that place! after all this was about the luxe so pack up and move on. we did.

upscale burgers. i just came from this place at 10:00pm on a saturday night with a buddy of mine. they told the people in front of us that there was about a 30 minute wait. we went up to thebarand found two chairs so we got lucky there. i made a burger with kobe beef, american cheese, baby lettuce, caramelized onions, and roasted red peppers. my friend had the second biggest burger on the menu which was death by burger, it was a double patty, bacon, egg, and a few other things i forget. the food came out very quickly. everything was delicious. the bartenders were not the best but we were only at thebarbecause there was a long wait. we definitely will be returning. it can get a little messy so if your all dressed up, be careful. all in all, well worth the money, we both left ready for a nap.

centrally located, inexpensive comfort food. luxe is sort of like dressed up sportsbarwith a build-a-burger menu. the red neon lights in thebarand the dark interiors lend a hand in making the diner banquets seem a little more fancy than friendly's. my wife and i met at luxe due to its central location -- just down the hill from the commuter rail/amtrak station where i was getting off the train. she had a pulled pork sandwich, which was served with cole slaw on top. the pulled pork was sweet more than spicy, tender and juicy rather than stringy and dry. i had the $6.99 goldbarmeat -- some sort of house blend from hereford cow cuts including of sirloin & chuck that supposedly is sourced from local, small farms. it was served medium rare and came warm and red, as promised. i topped my burger with swiss cheese, sauteed onions and mayo (plus, added sauteed mushrooms for a buck extra). it was juicy and delicious. coke, ginger ale and sprite are $2 for a bottomless glass. you can also get specialty root beer, orange and cream soda in a bottle for $4.

luxe burgerbaris a new providence hot spot nestled on memorial boulevard. the concept is an established american tradition, comfort food headlined by burgers, but the execution is nothing but professional. the interior is nice a modern, and the restaura
