You can expect consistently tasty beef burgers and fries here. Maybe a bit more expensive than others but well worth it. Even the GF lettuce wrap option works well. It is a bit overwhelming to choose from the extensive list of toppings but then again they are quite tasty.

I have to hand it to this place. It is the cats meow for burgers in the Portland Maine area. I have always been a fan of Five Guys but this place has organic burgers with really amazing custom cut fries that are nice and thin. I have been to the South Portland location about 4 times now. If you are in the mood for an awesome burger this place is top notch. I have never had an issue with service or quality in any of my visits here. Real fresh organic meat!

I won't go back a 2nd time. Burger did not come with requested condiments, fries were limp, and luke warm, but a server was very pleasant in asking if we would let them replace the fries with a fresh order. Will go back to Five Guys for my next burger & fries craving.

This was a god sent for me as I only eat grass fed beef. If I lived in Portland I would be here everyday. The burgers are amazing. If you are looking for a gluten free option or to save some calories you can have your burger wrapped in lettuce. I would not desecrate such an incredible burger but different strokes different folks.

I hate to pan a place because I know how hard it is to run a restaurant. HOWEVER, with me if you're gonna talk the talk you better walk the walk when it comes to organics. It's not just the ingredients that make safe food it's the handling and maybe even more so. I suppose they may want customers to see everything is homemade so it sits on the counter... like home! SO never having been to Elevation Burger I was pretty disappointed to see really bad food handling as soon as I walked in the door. I'm not a germ freak but having an open pan of ground meat next to a hand washing station and under the paper towel dispenser almost made me leave. But I was with friends who never notice these things. Then there was the guy using a french fry cutter without gloves then going back to the fryer. The water pouring into the cut potatoes sink was running non stop and splashing all the counters near other food. In fact not a lot of glove wearing vs. money handling anywhere. Again I am not picky but there are some simple food pathogen precautions. The place just didn't feel particularly clean. I ended up ordering a veggie burger simply because of the open meat tray. I'd say ... it was good. I hope they do a assessment of handling procedures. I couldn't recognize a manager or I would have politely said something. I'll try it one more time to see if anything changed because my friends... liked their burgers.

I don't get what all the hype is about with these burgers? The fries are awesome - I love that they're thin and crispy. I like that they have that gimmicky soda machine that actually has Dr. Pepper. But the burgers?!?! You have the option to get a double patty or a single patty. You have the option of getting a veggie burger. You have the options of your toppings. The first time here, I really wasn't too impressed. It's a burger, but nothing special and really not that flavorful. I've since gone back a few times to give a 2nd and 3rd chance - I still have the same reaction. I'd rather go to Five Guys...and if I had my druthers, I wish there was an In-N-Out nearby.

I'm not a huge burger person but this place has converted me. I really hope they branch out across New England as I don't live in the area. Five Stars and two thumbs up for delicious!!

This place opened in answer to the hipster crowd looking for a theme restaurant where they could eat "gluten free" without having to feel guilty about asking for it. When I visited, the burgers reminded me of what Wendy's used to be. Overcooked and greasy, very little flavor to the meat and obviously frozen and refrozen. Far from fresh. Now that Wild Willy's has closed, the choices of burgers have gone back to fast food, which this place personifies.
(2)Mike S.
The burgers are good, I would say a hair better than 5 guys but the friends aren't quite as good. I actually tried the veggie burger once too and that was surprisingly tasty! The soda machine made a friend go crazy (in a good way) haha. Once they heard about this crazy machine they came running over -- its a touch screen with over 60 choices ha ha. I think they have these machines other places (someone said at BK) but its always fun to try new flavors, especially a million diet flavors too.
(3)William A.
Ok, not great. Burgers are WAY overcooked and I can't really judge the fries because I got it to go and fries anywhere have a 5 minute life before they are nasty. three stars because of the price and the burger could not be ordered rare.
(3)Corey G.
This place is clean, has a good concept in organic meats, etc, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. someone was even going around the dining area asking how things were. While everything tasted great, and all else lined up, it has not called me back as a place I desperately need to get back. I do want to take my family and see how it rates. That will be the true test!
(4)Christine L.
For those of you from the west coast, this place reminds me a LOT of a healthier (as in more organic) In-N-Out: fresh meat patty, cheese, lettuce, and sauce on a bun. However... it's very Five Guys in the sense that there is a list of toppings and you get to choose a whole bunch. Although they seemed to emphasize the awesomeness of the beef, it tasted a bit bland and under seasoned to me. I'm usually not a burger person (I hardly ever order them), but if I do end up in a burger mood one day, I would probably end up back here. There's nothing wrong with the place, the service is great, and I like the general vibe... it's just a bit pricey for a burger. **If you do come often, you get a stamp card for a free burger!

This was my first time in Portland Maine and was soo happy to find this place.I am allergic to seafood and fish so I was excited to find a place that had GREAT burgers , fries, customer service AND cared about the environment. This place ROCKS!
(5)Dani C.
I am not a meat eater but my boyfriend is. Luckily, elevation burger has TWO veggie burgers! They even offer lettuce wraps instead of a bun! Both burgers were fantastic. My boyfriend loved his burger as well- the elevation sauce is fantastic! The french fries are also great- thin and crispy! They are also fresh and made right there with fresh potatoes! There is also a neat soda machine that you can choose typical sodas but many unique flavors! I have also heard the milk shakes are delicious.

I came here for dinner on Saturday night with my sister. It was my first time but I'd heard great things from a number of sources. I was immediately attracted to their use of 100% USDA certified organic, grass-fed, free range beef! Also, they claim to ground all their meat in the restaurant and cook with olive oil. My kind of place! When we arrived, I was surprised that there were only a few other groups of people. The place is spacious and has a very open feel with high ceilings. You order at the counter and the the food is brought to your table when ready. There are a few different sizes of burgers, all with different names - beef and two types of veggie burgers. There's even a burger that has one beef patty and one veggie (called "Half the Guilt Burger"). You will also find a salad on the menu as well as a grilled cheese. I ordered the Elevation Burger which is two beef patties with aged cheddar cheese and choice of toppings. There are many free toppings to choose from. I also shared an order of crispy thin-cut fries with my sister. We both ordered milkshakes. They have vanilla and chocolate milkshakes and you can add two items free of charge. I got a dark cherry vanilla with oreo cookie milkshake. The milkshake was so thick it came with both a straw and a long spoon. Chunks of freshly ground + still crunchy oreo cookie bits were mixed into the tasty shake. My sister ordered a chocolate milkshake with organic cheesecake and blueberries. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come here again. In fact, I could go for some Elevation Burger right now!

Great concept well executed. I wish we had one in Boston. To address some reviewers comments concerning prices and the flavor of the burgers,"the big deal" about Elevation is that it serves 100% percent grass-fed burgers. It's far more expensive to produce beef this way and the product offers a nutritional profile that is far superior to factory farmed burgers. It is also leaner and tastes different than the industrial product, which is bland (but juicier) by comparison. Given the lower impact on the environment and healthier nutritional properties of grass-fed meat, it's probably a taste worth acquiring. To put price in perspective, I ordered a kid-sized burger (really just an ordinary-sized single-patty burger) with tomato, lettuce, mustard, ketchup, pickles and hot-pepper relish. It came on a really fresh-tasting potato bun and cost me less than $5. A comparable burger from a chef-owned grass-fed burger joint in Boston sets me back twice as much. I enjoyed the Elevation burger more. Service was fast and accommodating. The outdoor patio is a nice touch and the interior is clean, spare and arranged for efficiency. The business is committed to environmental sustainability in its construction ongoing operations. Elevation donates used cooking oil for recycling and use high post-consumer content paper products. How they do all this right and sell a very tasty burger for under $5 is beyond me. For me, there is really nothing not to like about this place.
(4)Karl J.
I lived off burgers for the last five years. Because I was on the road most of the time. Ate a ton of burgers all over the U.S. So I do believe I know what is towards the good end of the burger spectrum. And what falls into the mass of general so-so burgers. Sorry to say, Elevation burger, IMHO falls into the average class. But worse is, for an average tasting burger, it is not cheap! In fact, time you get fries and a drink. You drop an easy $10 or more. So do I recommend Elevation Burger? Not really, unless you are concerned about grass fed VS corn fed beef.
(3)Harry M.
Inordinately I guess another scam in the food businesses. For a place that has organic written all over it the bun they use is just another commercial product filed with preservatives. So I guess it is good that part of what you eat there is organic. So they say.
(2)Robin B.
Very tasty burger! Love fact the fries are cooked in olive oil. This has become our family's go to burger place. 1 grass fed beef, 2 we don't eat grains and they wrap your burgers in lettuce upon request. The service is great, and clean too.
(5)Paul T.
I collect wax cups---the sort you get when you order a to-go coffee, or Coke; I have 500 of them hanging on mini-christmas lights, like lanterns, from my kitchen ceiling, and, given the cost to produce them, most come from some of America's most hated food product corporations. There are exceptions, and a TV ad sent us here, when I saw the cups in the back of the ad. Woo Hoo! Bright colored, blue cups with a great design. AND---wait for it----Great burgers. Just not as flavorful as Smashburger. Can't say what's missing---it's the big burger dilemma the Partner and I have been having. And I went into Smashburger for the cup, too. When I say "not as good" I mean a key element is missing, not that it's NOT good. These are grass fed burgers, and are really good burgers, and while I'd hate to send someone from picturesque Portland, out to a strip mall in South Portland, with all of those local restaurants in town (more per capita than San Francisco, with 1/10th the population) face it: You're going south to see the Old Portland Head lighthouse (commissioned by George Washington), so you're down there anyway. And, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but just like those Oregon crabs, and frozen fish, at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco; way too many of the big, waterfront, local joints in Portland aren't using local Portland lobster. One famous hole in the wall sources its junk from Chesapeake bay! Hissssssss! What wasn't good, were the fresh cut fries. Better than the paler, but just as limp, fresh fries at In N Out, but still not as good as Good Fries Elsewhere. It's not rocket science, so why are they not so good? Whatever. Drive down, eat up and enjoy. We've got lots of primo-big-buck burger joints in San Francisco, and so far none of them have proved quite as good as Smashburger, just a closer walk. And so I heartily recommend Elevation Burgers, and if you know me, don't forget to save your cup and bring it back, next time you're in SF.

The staff is always friendly and the food is fresh and awesome!!! We came in with a large group and they bent over backwards to help us out!! Fantastic
(5)Nathan K.
Love this place. As someone who doesn't eat wheat, it's tough to find a place to grab any kind of burger quickly, let alone one that is made with quality ingredients. Elevation burger lets you get your burger wrapped in in lettuce, which for me is a total godsend when I'm out and hungry and just want something quick and easy. The establishment is clean. The staff is friendly. The ingredients are quality. The food is made quickly, with tons of options for customization. Heck, they even have one of those cool new soda fountains that lets you pick/mix dozens of different sodas. This place isn't going to replace McDonald's, as there are always going to be people who want the cheapest, fastest meal possible with no concern for the quality of ingredients, service, or lettuce wraps instead of buns. That's okay. There's room for everyone in the burger economy. For me, wheatless enthusiast for grassfed beef that I am, Elevation Burger will always be my go-to for a good burger.
(5)Gary B.
I have been here quite a few times and have to say that it is a solid choice for a quick , delicious burger . The fries are great but I don't come to a burger joint for the fries , I come for a great burger. It seems the fries get equal billing to the hamburgers so either the fries are that great or the burgers are not as good as touted . If you're looking for a better burger go next door to Wild Willy's (my opinion only) I feel Wild Willy's is a better burger on a better bun .

Last night, before a movie, hubs and I needed a quick meal. Elevation Burger hit the spot... I got a kids burger (one organic, grass-fed patty) with lettuce, mustard, jalapenos, and mayo) and my husband got a veggie burger with some toppings. The fries were being pushed through the cutter just before we ate them and the service was friendly and fast. A kids burger, veggie burger, two sodas, and fries were about 16 bucks. Not half bad. The burgers were greasy (hello people - it's a hamburger!) and tasted great. It looked like it was a burger that someone patted together just before and threw on a griddle (no hockey pucks with distinct round edges) I'd totally go back - great space to eat and decent food!
(4)Justin And Elizabeth L.
The tough part about grading Elevation Burger is the sharp contrast in quality between burgers and fries. I'd give the burger a four or five...but the fries a one or two. But as an American, how do you separate burgers and fries? That's like asking a New Englander to separate "Yankees" from "suck." My burger was tasty and fairly priced. More expensive than Five Guys, but presumably made from better quality ingredients. I personally don't care about organic, so it didn't make a difference to me. I appreciated that their burger toppings are traditional, unlike many of the gourmet burger joints that have opened in recent years. Though I am foodie who enjoys cooking complicated meals and dining on food from all over the globe, when I'm in the mood for a burger, I want a good ole burger. I don't want a burger topped with kimchi and served on a GyeRan Bbang bun (though I do enjoy a good Korean restaurant). Elevation Burger succeeds in that regard. As for the fries, they were dreadful. First, they are skinnier than shoestring, which is a major bummer to me. Second, they are fried in olive oil. Now, I adore olive oil. I use a ton of it in my cooking. But any self-respecting cook knows olive oil is a lousy frying oil because it has a low smoke point and a heavy flavor. As a result, the fries are swimming in grease and heavy in flavor...two mortal sins in french fry cookery. Bottom line: If you're somebody who can enjoy Astaire without Rogers, Captain without Tennile, or America without Freedom, then you'll have a great time enjoying the tasty burgers and awful fries at Elevation Burger. Otherwise, go in town and visit Five Guys.
(3)Kyung R.
They had decent burgers here. All the ingredients were really fresh and the fries were awesome. The prices were reasonable, but I only had one complaint. Their burger patties were severely under seasoned. Simple salt and pepper would have done wonders for the burger, but if they addressed that, this would be great. Parking is not an issue and it's located conveniently next to I295. Worth visiting if you have a burger fix and it's so much better for you then any fast food options!
(4)Karen R.
If I want a burger this is where i want to go. I love the fact that they use organic beef and your burger is made to order with all the toppings. Their fries are amazing too and one order is enough for the family. The kids love the kid burgers and they have a great punch card program. I would go here before 5 Guys any day!
(5)Sarah A.
I got the elevation burger with cheddar cheese and fries. Juicy, tasty and a good price! This definitely hit the spot! I think I would choose this place over b. good.
(4)Ashley W.
I'm originally from the west coast, and was yearning for a burger joint. Spotted this spot on my way to get some gas. My roommate said he heard good reviews of the Carlsbad location in Cali. Ordered the Elevation Burger. Though it was juicy, it lacked a "wow" factor. I guess people come here because it's healthy... which is probably why it's also priced at $5.99. A little steep for a mediocre tasting burger, IMO.
(2)Ver C.
I want to like this place so bad, and maybe I can after some time. My fiancé and I, who have been here several times, went back again for a quick bite. We both ordered burgers with 1 patty plus a side order of fries for us to share. About two hours after eating my food, I started to get a terrible stomach ache which became quite uncomfortable. Thinking I was just having a stomach bug, I took some medicine and went to bed. When I awoke the next morning, I was still having an upset stomach which really got me worried. For four days, my fiancé and I dealt with this horrible stomach ache that didn't want to go away. Knowing that I wasn't the only one not feeling well made me suspicious that the food was what got us sick. In regards to the food, our burger buns were moist, almost squishy in texture. The fries which are usually very good seemed to be more greasy than usual. Their bacon which cost a whopping $1.29 was fatty and definitely not crunchy as it could be. For supposedly being "healthy" and using real beef patties, I think they need to revise their food a little.
(2)Aesop V.
Elevation burger for me is my default when I'm trying to find a place to go eat. The burgers are flavorful and juicy, I can add a whole lot of toppings or as little as I want. They have veggie burgers which aren't all that bad (I went for a few months as a vegetarian) and the fries are pretty awesome. They also have shakes which are very thick and great to have when I'm hankering for something sweet. The staff are always nice and pleasant. Great burger joint overall.
(4)Sara S.
Very disappointed tonight. We have always had a great experience at Elevation. Tonight they were off their game. My husband, a vegetarian (he's not vegan), ordered the Veggie Burger 1 (vegetarian), but they were sold out. Bummer. He then ordered the Veggie Burger 2 (vegan) with 3 slices of cheese with 3 patties. We sat down and got our tray. My husband bit into his burger and it was 3 patties of straight up juicy meat. It was awful, and devastating if you're a vegetarian. I went to return it, and the cook said "it was entered as a Vertical Burger", like I had anything to do with it. I don't care... I told him my husband is a vegetarian, was upset, and it didn't phase him at all. The cashier who took our order, who was so sweet and nice, told the cook "it was entered as a Veggie #2." They took it back, the girl cook seemed to have a look of remorse and apology. I sat back down and they brought out the Veggie #2, with a 3 stack. No cheese. We had to ask them to take it back and added the cheese. She said, "it doesn't say cheese on the slip". At that point I thought cheese was pretty little to be asking after our experience thus far. Very disappointing, we love this place. But you can't do that to vegetarians! And if so I wished they were a little more apologetic, rather than hiding behind the counter, sloughing it off and ignoring us and avoiding further discussion with me.
(2)Kristin S.
In all honesty I would probably give Elevation Burger a 3.5, but since yelp doesn't offer that feature, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I had the "Half-the-Guilt" burger with cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and jalapeños, it was very tasty. It is a little greasy, but what good burger isn't? I didn't care for their fries, too skinny and kinda limp, but the burger filled me up so it isn't a big deal that I don't like their fries. They have a ton of different toppings to customize your burger, and they have two vegetarian options, one made with cheese and the other is a vegan option so there's a burger for everyone. It kinda reminds me of a Chipotle but instead of burritos it's burgers. And their soda fountain is pretty cool as well, I've never seen more options in soda then they have. I will definitely be back:)
(4)Michael L.
Do you want to have farm fresh meat with a price tag on Betsy's cow bell? Well you came to the right spot. We were recommended to come here because the fries were good. Yeah they were and the burger too but for the price of this place, which reminded us of a mix between Five Guys and Steak & Shake we could have gone there for just as good of a meal... well not Steak & Shake...but yeah...
(3)Rajiv A.
[1 visit, march 2012] Both my friend and I felt ill a few hours after this meal, leading me to question the quality of the ingredients. The menu is inelegant and confusing, assaulting the customer with the paradox of choice, and inevitably leading to buyer's remorse ("Would my meal have been better if I'd ordered Y instead of X?"). A better solution would be to have specials be more prominent, and have the option to customize further. Witness the Inn-N-Out model. Only 3 menu items, but customization is possible. The lettuce-wrapped burger is a cool idea (I like lettuce, and I like burgers. The bun I could always do without), but perhaps a different cut of lettuce would be needed. The lettuce burger I got was impossible to eat without having it explode everywhere. Sure one expects to get messy with a good burger, but I was starting to get embarrassed. I was glad for the metal box-tray that came with the burger, though. The fries are overly thin for my tastes, and somewhat limp. The burgers need seasoning. Like Five Guys, Elevation suffers from the "looks good but doesn't taste like much" burger problem. My triple burger (the patties aren't that big) initially appeared to have no toppings. It turns out they put one thin slice of tomato and a few scraps of onion at the bottom, so essentially it was just burger. 3 burgers means at least 2 tomato slices, folks! The shake ingredients sound better than they taste. Cheesecake is not chunks of cheesecake - it's cheesecake powder. Oreo chunks seem pre-soaked so they have zero crunch. Key lime isn't chunks of key lime pie, it is a syrup. Overall, I liked the concept of a burger with better ingredients, and the ability to customize it is also nice, but there were lots of execution flaws, and I think I'd sooner go to Five Guys and Wild Willies than back to Elevation.

I have been so far twice and although the concept and food are wonderful the management is terrible. The first time I went in it was around 4pm. it was dead. The employees were almost robotic. no one looked up, nobody had any expression. It was almost like a video game? I was the only one there and ordered an elevation burger with fries and a malt. $15 bucks and it was amazing. The burger was much better than 5 guys and of course both are heads and shoulders over anything fast food. What bugged me and I am offering this as constructive is that it lacked any style or personality. The 2nd time I went in around the dinner hour and it was about half full, however it was like a school cafeteria only dead. the only noise was the awkward white noise of the diners and then the buzzers from the kitchen. The noise it makes sounds like a police pursuit in France or something. It needs music.....something fun and upbeat.When you walk in to 5 guys they have awesome music, welcoming employees and its a warm causal atmosphere. If the management had any idea what they were doing.....they would know its a proven fact....music makes patrons stay longer, enjoy...order up...want to stay. Eating here was awkward. The employees didn't have any facial expression....like they had no other choice but to work there. Employees (especially in a low key burger joint) need to be happy, glad to see you are there....these were.....I don't know just ROBOTIC. They were OUT of malt spoons and when I went back to ask about the burger punch cards they were out of those. I am a business owner and that is UNACCEPTABLE at my business. You should never run out of basic supplies. They gave me the envelope to a gift card for the punch card. When I asked to trade my free kids burger for an order of extra fries (which was about $2.00 cheaper) they said no they cant do that??? -ok fine didn't have the authority. I just felt the business plan lacked any management. The owners of the franchise need to look into this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best burger east of in n out. You can actually eat healthfully here-get the burger wrapped in lettuce! I pray this place goes nationwide-delicious grass-fed meat, awesome toppings, hand cut fries, and really nice staff.
(5)Dave P.
The burgers pour grease and the fried were nothing special....I'm gonna stick with 5 Guys.
(2)Kathy B.
The 1/2 guilt burger was very tasty. Veg burger was moist not dry, beef burger was not greasy, lettuce and tomato were fresh. Fries are thin cut and crispy. Strawberry shake was very good. There are many choices for burgers and shakes, something for everyone.
(4)Kimberly L.
Just OK. Found it to be very overpriced and really, nothing special - kind of bland even. We will probably not return.
(2)Jessica S.
good hamburgers and milkshakes. the cookies are good, made with oats so they are dense. my boyfriend loves this place. i wish they had different sizes for the milkshakes though
(4)Sharon G.
Finally! Someone has put together the perfect restaurant for me. I love cheeseburgers, and the elevation burger is the perfect burger joint for me. The meat is delicious and natural, and you can tell that human hands touched it and had something to do with the preparation. I love the choices of free toppings. The fries rock, although I don't think I need them because the burger is so filling. My husband had a shake and it was made from real ingredients, not plopped out of a machine. And they have the most amazing beverage machine. The people that work there are so pleasant! I highly recommend this restaurant!
(5)Kelly M.
Delicious grass-fed beef burgers with vegetarian and organic chicken sandwich options as well. Shoestring fries are tasty too. And if you are feeling over-the-("elevated")-top decadent you can finish with a shake or malt. Because of the burger to bun ratio, I'd get the Elevation Burger instead of the Base Camp Burger... a double versus a single patty (have had it both ways). I find them a tiny bit over-salted and there is no option for different temperatures on your patty. Pricey for burgers but not for grass-fed beef. Business modeled after Five Guys who do the best burgers in the world.
(5)Amanda B.
It's a burger joint. It's got well done greasy fries, chicken sandwiches, and shakes. They source things responsibly, which is awesome, but I repeat, it's a burger joint. I know some people rave about this place, but I think it has just got a standard, quickie burger. The fries are pretty good, though.
(3)Mr S.
This place is definitely rocking. What i love about elevation burger is that not just it is organic and grass fed, there meat is halal as well so muslim who want to have a burger, skip McD'd and BK and just head to elevation. I wish there was one in MA as well. The mushroom burger was great, and elevation burger was good too. Chilli fries were top notch and so were chicken tenderloins. Our server was really nice too, but the girl behind the counter taking the order felt like she just hated her life. The store was nice and clean but nothing crazy as far as decor goes, I am not sure why these same chains have such nice stores in middle east and not in US. The only reason I am knocking down a star is because the price is little on the high side. 2 cheese burger with 3 friend and 2 drink along with chicken tenderloin for 40$ is a little high. I think even 30 might be reasonable.
(4)Ken L.
We ate there last night... nothing fancy, just "Base Camp" burgers. My hamburger tasted like there was paper in it. I looked carefully to see if I was biting into the wrapper, but no. Two hours later my granddaughter had stomach pains and I felt uncomfortable for 24 hours. Three burgers, 1 fry and a milk shake for $24. You got to be kidding. IMHO, there are many places with way better burgers, including MickyD's.

I have been to Elevation Burger dozens of times. The food is always consistently good. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable considering everything is organic and fresh. The establishment is very clean and doesn't have that greasy burger place smell or appearance. I usually have a cheeseburger and my boyfriend and I share a drink and an order of fries. While the burgers are messy, depending on what you get on them, they are a juicy, cheesy, pile of goodness! I will most definitely be going back.

Elevation Burger is so good and I wish they would open in CA. Grass-fed burgers, aged cheddar, and olive oil fries are amazing. I went there all the time when I lived back there.

Organic doesn't mean tasty. Or in this case, healthy either. I ordered a single patty burger for lunch with a side of fries. The burger meat was a little dry, but the outside of the patty was greasy. At the time I felt the burger was not anything really worth mentioning or going back for. The french fries were extremely greasy, I only ate half of them before I became disgusted at the idea of eating more. Upon leaving I felt like I had a lead weight in my stomach. The food just sat wrong and I felt tired, like I had just eaten a Thanksgiving dinner. I did like the cleanliness of the place and the blue tiles. But for a fairly new restaurant, my table was beat up and wobbled. I felt the place was too expensive for the food I received. I'm glad I didn't get the regular burger, which has two patties on it. Between the cost and the fact that the food wasn't good, I will not be coming back.

Stopped in on a rainy Saturday night and ordered a burger and a shake. The place is set up well for handling lines and you can watch the food being prepared. Menu is limited but they are following the Five Guys model of doing a few things well. Restaurant was clean. A little noisy due to the crowd and all the hard surfaces. The shake came out in a minute or two. Very thick. I ordered a chocolate malt. Malt was there but not pronounced. Overall a good but not great shake. The burger came a little while later. Orders are delivered by a server shouting your name across the restaurant. That is annoying when it is already busy and noisy. I wish they just gave you a number to put on your table. The burger was tasty. I got it with cheddar which was very good. The meat is a little crumbly but was flavorful. Overall, I thought it was a good value and a tasty meal. I will definitely go back.

I really like burgers, and Elevation Burger does not disappoint. They clearly present themselves as a competitor Five Guys based on the posters on all of the walls. I think the biggest difference between Five Guys and Elevation Burger is not the food but the outdoor seating. The beef is pretty good for a fast food place, and they use high quality condiments and toppings. I do recall the bacon being very good. They have one of the new soda machines that allow you to create flavored variants of almost any kind of soda that you want. Want Grape Sprite? Well you can have it. The service was fast and efficient. The restaurant itself is kept very clean. The other nice perk of this place is plenty of outdoor seating, including an upstairs deck. Overall Elevation Burger is a solid choice for a quick bite of food when you are in the mood for a burger.

Grass fed beef, real cheddar cheese and French fries cooked in 100% olive oil. Hard to beat for a quick and good burger

Order: *Veggie burger with everything on it except pickles *Fries For all you meatless eaters, this place is pretty good. I am a carnivore but I like to eat veggie patties from time to time. Cooked well and with pretty fast service. Their fries are decent and don't order the large size. I couldn't even finish the small order of fries. This place is "OK." Would go here again if I'm craving it but I don't see myself coming here very often. Tips: *Plenty of parking *For those who are looking for sponsors for their event, the manager was able to donate a gift card for my school's charity event. The assistant manager is super cool.

Delicious. Perfect for when you're having a fast food craving but don't want to get sick afterwards.

Not really pricey if you consider what kind of beef they're offering=\ good experience overall. Especially the fries since they were unique in texture and using vinegar as a condiment!

Really great burgers, and even better fries. I like shoestring fries which don't seem to be very common but they have them and they're great. My burger was cooked perfectly and juicy. They also have a nice upper deck dining area that has a great view.

Great product! I'm not even a huge beef fan but I will totally grab a burger from this place anytime. They have 100% organic, grass - fed, free range beef. I'm am GF and they wrap burgers in lettuce wraps for you (hard to find!). They offer a variety of toppings; cheese , pickles, bacon, etc .... Great customer service as well! Would recommend Elevation Burger to anyone.

I like it here. The fries are shoestring -- not my favorite type, but they're yummy. The burgers are delicious -- there's just something about them that's awesome. Not too greasy, grass-fed beef, delicious. My biggest complaints? 1) The pricing is not the greatest. The burgers only come with the burger itself... EVERYTHING else you'd put on it, including condiments, costs extra. Stupid. 2) The ordering process, because of what I just mentioned, is SO stupidly complicated. Like, just take a note from Five Guys and give me a burger with everything on it -- or AT LEAST a freaking cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard...
