I find it funny that B-LUX Grill & Bar in Lake Delton sounds similar to DLUX in Madison, and both restaurants serve specialty burgers. B-LUX opened in May and is located near Pizza Pub (in fact, that’s what the billboard ads say).
The spacious restaurant includes several dining rooms, a large bar, a game room and outdoor seating, plus flat-screen TVs along the walls. Basically, you can go there for any occasion or circumstance.
Let’s take a look at the burgers first:
- The B-LUX doublestack ($17) is a massive, super-filling burger sporting two thick patties and lots of toppings. I liked that the egg was runny and the bacon was crispy, but the pulled pork was bland and dry. This monstrosity would be helped with some BBQ sauce.
- The Cheesehead burger ($14) also is over the top, with cheddar cheese and really tasty cheese curds, plus a nice, salty crunch from the chicken-fried (breaded) bacon.
- You also can make your own burger, or you can order sandwiches such as the southwestern turkey burger ($14).
Unlike DLUX, B-LUX also serves many items besides burgers:
- The B-LUX chili ($5 cup, $8 bowl, $3 as a side) is beefy and not overloaded with pinto beans, thankfully. The chunks of beef were tender, and the chili is complemented by the Fritos and fresh-cut jalapenos.
- The tater tots are crispy and seasoned. They’re even better in the loaded chili totchos ($11) topped with chili, cheese and sour cream. Great way to start the meal.
- On my next visit, I look forward to trying the B-LUX Donut Shake ($8), which is a Nutella shake along with a glazed donut.
B-LUX Grill & Bar is open every day for lunch and dinner.

I was pleasantly surprised by the pulled pork sandwich ($2.99) because it uses a Carolina (mustard-based) sauce. It’s actually quite good–the meat is super moist, and the bread does a good job of keeping its structure.
In honor of National Sandwich Day, I thought I’d take a look at some of the nation’s most famous sandwiches, coincidentally all from the State of Pennsylvania.
In Pittsburgh–as well as in cities east of our state–you can find Primanti Bros. Its crown achievement is its “Almost Famous” sandwiches that are packed with cole slaw, tomatoes and french fries.
