The original restaurant is located in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood, near the intersection of 50th Avenue, Foster Road, and Powell Boulevard. [3] Co-owners Micah Camden and Matt Lynch opened the drive-through in July 2018, [4] [5] [6] in a building which previously housed a TacoTime restaurant. [7]

In 2019, Lynch confirmed plans for a second restaurant in northwest Portland's Pearl District. [8] [9] [10] A third restaurant opened in Sherwood, Oregon, in 2020. [11] A fourth opened in Bend in 2022. [12] A fifth location is planned to open in Lake Oswego in 2023. [13]

The company's logo was designed by Portland-based graphic designer Aaron James Draplin. [14]

In February 2024, SuperDeluxe declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing heavy debt caused from the COVID-19 pandemic. [15]

Reception

In 2018, David Landsel of Food & Wine wrote, "the vibe at SuperDeluxe feels more San Fernando Valley than Pacific Northwest, all hot asphalt and thumping bass and exhaust smells, except that the strip club facing the restaurant parking lot, overflowing with cars trying to get into the drive-thru, sports a cheeky sign, advertising 'gluten-free lap dances.'" [16]

Bill Oakley called the burger "the best burger [he's] ever had in Portland". [17] He named SuperDeluxe one of the best Portland-based fast food chains in his 2021 "guide to dining in Portland". [18] Portland Monthly writers ranked the Double Deluxe number 12 on a 2020 list of "Portland’s 20 Best Cheeseburgers". [19] Naomi Tomky included SuperDeluxe in Thrillist's 2021 list of "15 Pacific Northwest Fast Food Chains the Entire Country Needs". [20]
