[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The fabulous new menu at the Luxe Lounge features new items and retains the classic favorites, too. Come and try it out!
At Ak-Chin Indian Community, The Luxe Lounge is the luxurious 21-and-older venue located in the UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle, Executive Chef Frank Abeyta created the new menu, which offers American comfort food with a twist. In an interview with Chef Abeyta, he said he conducted an online survey of their customers and employees, resulting in the new menu items. Cowboy Lifestyle Network went out for the night to Luxe Lounge for a taste of the new menu. This is what they thought: “We enjoyed the BBQ Brisket Quesadilla with all the fixings, delicious! JoJo’s Crisp Potato Wedges were also very good, drizzled with cheese, sour cream, bacon bits and green onions. The Red Chile Enchilada Cheeseburger made with a half pound burger patty covered with two red chile cheese enchiladas, grilled pink onions, and topped with sour cream and guacamole on a brioche was fabulous. The best of the night was the Sonoran pulled pork, green chili, white onion, jalapeno, bacon, avocado, shredded cabbage with lime aioli French roll sandwich, yummo! Of course, we had to sample the delicious wings, cooked to perfection.”

On Mondays, the Cheeseburger and Fries deal fills you up for $5. Or try Taco and Tequila Tuesdays, with $2 beef or chicken tacos, $3 Dos Equis beer, and $3 tequilas.
