Pros:
- Delicious burgers
- Creative toppings (Love the caramelized onions)
- Friendly (enough) staff
- 2 Veggie Burger options
- Great concept
Cons:
- 1 fry size option - too much for one person, IMO.
- 1 shake size option - also too much for one person, 700+ additional calories
- Dirty tables and floor - the floor was very greasy on my last visit - almost a slip hazard
- Lacking atmosphere - All you hear is the sounds of people talking, the fryer, and random beeping from the kitchen - would be nice to have some uplifting, low-playing music on in the background... something to make you feel good while you're eating food that is good (at least better) for you.
Also, as a side note - I feel emasculated always asking for a "Kid's Burger." - Why not just name it a single or double burger? Â Men can't order a single patty without calling it a kid's burger?
Thank you, Elevation Burger, for thinking through a good "fast food" experience. From the farmers that you partner with to serve your customers fresh and local ingredients, to the sustainable efforts put into practice at your store, we are taking notice while we stuff face with your yummy burgers, fries, and shakes.
Also, thank you for not one but TWO vegetarian burger options! I'm addicted to your fire roasted veggie burger and my husband still gets the beef-- a nice compromise for us when we need a quick but satisfying meal. Keep up the great work.
I don't understand why this place has such a high average rating when the experience of eating here is so incredibly unpleasant.
A friend of mine visited me and I brought her here based on the overall 3.5 star Yelp rating for the place. I wasn't expecting transcendent greatness but I was expecting an enjoyable meal, which we didn't get.
First of all, ordering food was chaotic and unorganized, with the woman at the register practically barking at us. We were honestly sort of stressed a little bit by the time we took our seats!
The system for getting food to people is ridiculously haphazard and unprofessional, with workers barking your name through a crowded, loud restaurant full of unruly children running around back and forth. No buzzers? No table number system? Why not?
My friend got her meal and then I waited another five minutes for mine, even though we ordered directly after one another. Awkward and strange. We also spent a non-negligible amount of time trying to figure out where the heck we could find salt. Turns out they don't have shakers, only tiny salt packets tucked away behind the soda fountain, where you can't see them while seated in the main dining room.
Now to the food itself. I actually have to defend Elevation's fries. They get criticized here but while I would not say they were anything really special, mine were perfectly adequate. They were hot, crispy, and tasty enough.
The burger however was straight-up weak. My "6-month aged" cheddar that I paid an extra 50 cents for was bland and anodyne with no real flavor and sharpness. The beef patty itself was microscopically small and on the dry side. For being "grass-fed" and what-not it did not taste any different from a burger made out of supermarket beef. I have eaten some delicious grass-fed beef before but this was not that.
I ordered the "Half the Guilt" burger which is one beef patty and one veggieburger patty. I ordered the veggieburger patty that is meant to taste more like veggies than like a beef replacement, and it was actually alright, although it had too much brown rice. Why do people load veggieburgers with cheap brown rice? I was a vegetarian for fifteen years and I do not recall at any time jonesing for a hamburger bun wrapped around a delicious scoop of brown rice.
Needless to say, I only ate about half my burger and didn't make much of a dent in the fries.
My friend ordered the classic Elevation burger and was similarly unenthused about the meal.
There are places in Philly that take the burger to a level of artistry and even places that do so within the same casual, fast-food context that Elevation is aiming to achieve. But this was just such a bland, chaotic, and annoying disappointment. This place quite simply does not have its stuff together.
Good food, fresh ingredients. LOTS of fries come in the order. Free refills on fountain drinks. Tons of options to customize your burger experience. Service is a little slow - every time I've been there it's super busy! They also have a frequent customer card which is great because you can earn a free burger.
Review Source:Why we went: We wanted to get a good burger this evening so I checked the trusty Yelp app and conveniently found that Elevation Burger was in the same shopping center we were in. I normally don't travel past the video game store, but I am glad I did this time.
The restaurant: Elevation Burger is a casual, walk up to order burger joint that prides themselves on being eco-friendly and having organic food. It's a good place for lunch or dinner. You can be in and out quickly so you can go there on your lunch break. From the sound of it you can even call ahead. There is one or two tables for larger groups but I would be safe and limit the size of your party. I'm not really in to the whole organic food thing but my fiance is so it was a good choice and made her happy.
My meal: I had the elevation burger and fries. The burger very tasty. You could tell it was fresh, very juicy, and cooked to perfection. A 10/10 for sure. The fries appeared to be home made, not to greasy or salty, and thin cut. I give them a 8/10. (it would have been a 10/10 if I had gotten longer fries and not just a bowl of cut off pieces.
Next time: I want to try one of their veggie burgers in a lettuce wrap and a milkshake.
After my initial joy in this new chain, I have downgraded them after numerous burgers and shakes...I consistently find gristle in my burgers here...and after eating a dozen or so burgers, I am finally missing American Cheese on my burger...I'll still go if someone else is making the plans but I prefer Jake's Wayback Burgers in Wayne, even tho it's a little far and they don't have outdoor seating for the dog...my favorite burger is still Charlies in Folsom/Ridley, and I haven't found anything that can match it, but would love to someday! Â I drive 30 minutes to get to Charlies, but won't drive 10 for an Elevation Burger...
Review Source:The local competitor to Five Guys had a lot of work to do in matching it, but almost does. I love the bun and the cheddar cheese is great. The fries are nice and thin and very tasty. The meat maybe could use some improvement, but isn't altogether bad. If you're somehow tired of Five Guys or just wanna try something new, check this out.
Review Source:This is my favorite burger in the area. I don't give a flying fish about the health benefits, since I get the double burger with the elevation sauce every time (though I've so far skipped the bacon). Thought about the guilt-free option, but I can never bring myself to do it.
I love burgers. Eat 'em a few times a month. Coast to coast, for years now. I love Five Guys, Five Napkin Burger, Island Burger, Burger Joint, and many more I'll never get around to reviewing. And the fancier gourmet burger joints, too. If I haven't tried it yet, it's likely on the list, even though I stick close to favorites sometimes (like Five Guys at airports).
That said, I don't dissect my burgers and fries like they're a four-diamond meal, so you won't hear me whinging about the lettuce being a tad wilted, or the precise amount of searing of the damn beef patty. If it's bursting with flavor, it's a win. And if it sucks for some reason, it's a fail.
The Elevation Burger and fries both get a big win in my book. I like thinner fries more than the fatties at Five Guys, which are always way too much anyway. The burger is a bit better than 5G, but the loyalty card is a nice bonus, plus the discount EB offers for the local school district. Add it all up, and for me they're the reigning local champ.
You can just taste the difference in the meat at this great little burger joint. They only use 100% grass feed free range beef. Â Elevation's burgers resemble a smaller healthier version of 5 guys. Â They cut their fries in house and cook them in olive oil.
You can't beat the $5 price for a double cheeseburger. Â I really love the simplicity and dedication to organic ingredients at this place. Â I highly recommend that you stop in and give it a try. Â
I need to stop back and try one of their hand scooped milk shakes and fresh baked cookies.
An above-average burger with a nice selection of fresh toppings. Fries are tasty as well. The patties are on the small side, which I actually prefer sometimes, but it does necessitate either getting a double or two singles to feel full. Staff has always been friendly to me and the food comes out very quickly.
If you want a burger and would normally just grab fast food, this is well worth a couple more bucks a couple extra minutes.
I was raised in California, aka land of the glorious In-n-Out burger. Â Thus, I'm hugely skeptical and typically disappointed when I try out a new fast food burger.
Elevation Burger? Â What a delightful surprise! Â Seriously, the closest thing to In-N-Out that I've tasted on the East Coast. Â They have the same health conscious philosophy, and even the fries are practically identical. Â Everything is fresh and made to order... I wish they would open up a location in center city! Â Solid 4 stars.
One of my favorite places to go when I am near the area. The burgers are nice and juicy, a single can be a little small so I always order a double. The bun is light, held together with the power of potato and didn't overwhelm the small-ish burger the way some burger buns can. The cheese was real cheddar, none of that processed flavorless American cheese. In my opinion, the only room for improvement would be the lettuce. I really adore a nice leafy green piece of lettuce, but the standard at Elevation Burger is a piece of Iceberg. I understand the need for crunchy textural contrast, but I think that can be achieved with a nice piece of Romaine or Bibb lettuce just as easily as Iceberg.Overall service is quick and the burger is delicious, if in the area stop by and have a bite
Review Source:A better burger for the main line. While nothing beats a steamed ham made in the comfort of your own home, I really must recommend Elevation Burger for some on the go dining. These burgers are MUCH better than any local fast food.
Expect to wait a few minutes for your food, it is cooked to order after all. Burgers aren't huge, but they are juicy and the standard comes stacked high with two patties. Fresh toppings complete your meaty masterpiece. Â
I've got to take one star away because of the price. You'll pay around $12 for one person, so keep that in Ming if you're teating a date or taking out your family. There are plenty of tables, so at least you'll have a place to sit.
For anyone who doesn't know, Elevation burger is basically a wannabe In-n-Out. Â To anyone who's never been to In-n-out Elevation might be alright, but for anyone who's been to In-n-out, it's better to not compare the two.
I like Elevation for their grass-fed beef, and other healthy alternatives.
With that said, the burgers are okay. Â Their Elevation fries (wannabe animal-style In-n-out fries), are nowhere near as good. Â This place is good for me when I need a quick, relatively cheap grass-fed beef meal without cooking, but this is not the place to go if you're craving a good burger.
Elevation is my go to burger joint because in this area a grass fed burger seems hard to find. The price is good and I love the club 7 card.
Two visits ago there was a total snafu in customer service. Â I waited for 30 minutes and watched the restaurant clear out before I asked about my order, which had mysteriously disappeared.
Initially the staff seemed surprisingly ambivalent but fortunately the lead came to the rescue, made the food, and more than compensated for the mix up.
Finally managed to get to my 1st Elevation Burger.
The fries were awesome - thin, crispy, hot, healthy portion, but they were lacking a little seasoning - I could barely taste any salt. I'm not sure which ketchup they use because it's in generic bottles - but it seemed like Heinz, not Hunts.
The burger was two perfectly cooked patties w/ an average slice of cheddar and let, tom, and raw onion. I would have ordered extra let. tom and onion if I knew it would be skimpy portions. The bun was decent. Their mustard seemed like a basic yellow - nothing special. I would recommend also carrying a decent stone-ground dijon mustard.
Chocolate shake was pretty damn good.
Service and pleasantness of staff was great, especially because it was a very busy Sat. afternoon. The place seemed to be running on all cylinders.
I'm feeling kind of neutral about this place.... Not great, but not bad either.... It's clean, the service is fast and friendly, and the food was decent.. I had an Elevation burger and fries... $9 bucks... While the burger was smaller than I expected, it was cooked well, and went well with the cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and onion.... The fries were decent also.... They were shoestring fries, and were cooked crispy like i like them....
Overall it was a good meal.... But it wasn't memorable enough for me to say "I gotta have an Elevation burger".... Probably a one and done visit for me since I really was hoping that I was gonna get something that would make me tell everyone I know to try this place.....
Just a side note.... When I walked in, there was one woman sitting in having her meal... Within minutes of handing them my money, the place turned into a freakin daycare... At least 3 women walked in with their toddlers that started touching and dropping every ketchup bottle on the tables.... The noise and crying afterwards obviously bugged the manager... The look on his face and his staff's face was priceless...
When it comes to burgers, I don't so much care about grass-fed this or organic that. I really just care about the things that matter: Is it juicy? Is it tasty? Is it thick enough to hold up to a bun? And how are the fries?
At Elevation Burger, the answers are yes, yes, yes, and awesome!
I usually get the cheeseburger with mayo, tomato, and lettuce. The burger is thick and fits the bun well, unlike places like In-n-Out on the west coast where the bun gets a little lost and has a slightly sweet taste. Elevation burgers are as good as Five Guys burgers, and I think the fries are better too, since I love the thinner cut and the inclusion of many crispy "skin fries," which is what I call those little french fries that came from the edge of the potato, where they are more skin and less potato.
If someone would make just "skin fries," I'd buy 'em!
I have a beef with Elevation Burger.
This place has good food and great marketing material but there is something that really irks me.
Their marketing slogan is "ingredients matter" yet they don't have any nutritional information available? If this was a local place I wouldn't care but we are talking about a multi-state chain with 25+ locations.
The whole premise of the place is based on their ingredients well who cares if its "grass fed" and "organic" if you have no idea how much fat and calories you're consuming?
Absolutely inexcusable. Even Five Guys posts their nutritional info.
If you live in the Lower Merion School District area, this is the place to go to get a good, distinct-tasting burger. The first time I went here I noticed the melted, sharp cheddar cheese, which is really what pulled me in. Adding on the fact that the cows are grass fed, the farms are free-range, it's organic, and olive oil is used as an ingredient for french fries, is what makes this the best burger joint within the 5-10 mile radius.
If you are a student in lmsd, you get free fries if you come from 2-5:30 pm (right after school).
I'm not sure if they're working on it, but the iPhone app to order wasn't functioning a month or two ago, but I've deleted it since so I'm not sure if that's fixed.
Overall, Its a very friendly place definitely beating out BRGR joint in Bryn Mawr (maybe not Five Guys though). When I'm hungry I always find myself coming here.
Ps. I'm not sure if other people have mentioned this, but the single burgers are pretty small, though they are very cheap.
Also, I wish the fries were bigger; the size makes it difficult to eat them.
A friend of mine had the complaint that the burgers were way to greasy. I disagree. They're not terribly greasy. On my return trip here, the line was long but the service was great and the line moved quickly.
For the omnivores, I highly suggest getting a "half the guilt" burger with the veggie (non-vegan) patty with some hot pepper relish, so good.
As far as suburban Burger places go Elevation can be mighty tasty. But compared to other options like BRGR Joint I just found it to be somewhat likely.
The first and major thing I do have to commend them for is their commitment to organic and free range foods, and in a lot of ways it does pay off in dividends.. But although it might of just been my first couple of attempts, I just found something to be lacking as far as variety and toppings. I can't quite put my finger on it, but compared to what I've seen most other full scale burger places roll with of late, Elevation just seemed to play things a little to safe.
I'm not saying you have to slather everything onto a Krispy Kreme like PYT (in fact PLEASE don't!). Or that you have to offer up multiple meat & veggie options. Just that what I saw on the menu and tasted kind of suffered from a hum drum been there done that kind of vibe.
Could it be that it's been awhile since I checked up on suburbia? Maybe I just ordered wrong (which wouldn't be the first time)? Or maybe its been awhile since I've been and they have something to open my eyes to? either way I welcome the next round!
Let's get one thing straight. Â Up until I had an Elevation Burger, I was quite possibly one of the most picky burger eaters in the world. Â However, since my first Elevation burger, the burger has become one of my favorite food on the run options.
The options at this all organic burger joint are simple yet perfect, kind of like Chipotle. Â You get a ton of topping options and it takes a couple of tries to figure out which combination is perfect for you. Â For me, it's elevation sauce, lettuce, tomato, pickles and caramelized onions on the double stacked elevation burger with cheese. Â The meat, while well done, is still super juicy. Â The only additions I could think of that I would want in the future would be bacon, guacamole and maybe a fried egg option (though that might be asking too much).
While the olive oil fries may not be for everyone, my wife and I love them. Â They have the perfect amount of crunch and salt to them and one order is enough to split if you are also having burgers.
Finally, if you're not to full after eating one of these scrumptious burgers, have one of their awesome shakes, you won't regret it!
After digesting a bellyfull of fine art at the Barnes Foundation, an equally substantial late lunch was in order. Â Luckily for us, organic fast-foodery Elevation Burger is tucked in a suburban shopping center just a 1.5-mile car ride away.
As a shame-filled carnivore, I vacillated between a virtuous veggie patty or a single meaty one until I saw the doublestacked "Half the Guilt burger" featuring one of each! Â Optional cheese and a choice of toppings like lettuce, caramelized onions, hot pepper relish, tomato-based Elevation sauce and balsamic mustard customize your sandwich, which is made to order and delivered to your table bare minutes later.
Shoestring French fries had a limp look but were quite tasty, with a perceptible olive-oil flavor. Â Upon first bite, I regretted my Half the Guilt burger and extracted the unwieldy veggie patty so I could actually taste my well-done, but still moist, meat. Â
Overall I enjoyed the burger, which was like a less-greasy Five Guys. Â Two Half the Guilt burgers, two order of fries (totally unnecessary - we could have easily split one), two fountain drinks and a package of three small oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies rang up at $19.75. Â
Next time I'll stick to a single burger and skip the fries for a lower-calorie, lower-cost experience.
So, it's the middle of November and I was walking around outside with a head cold, drinking a chocolate milkshake. Insane? Probably, but if you told me a place had good shakes, I'd have to try one. Plus, the old lady in front of me ordered one. If she had the cojones to do it, shouldn't I?
It's a small price to pay for the honor of telling you their shakes are above average.
The lanky shoestring fries are a little soggy but have a distinctive flavor from the olive oil used to cook them. The burgers are a little lacking, kind of like Five Guys off steroids.
Overall, the food was worth about a 3.5 stars but Elevation gets a bump to 4 stars because of the joint's focus on organic food and being environmentally conscious. The staff was also cheery and very friendly.
A Groupon deal was the only way Elevation was going to draw me out of the city. Â My buddy Walt was willing to drive, so hot damn, I'll hitch a ride. Â One issue though, driving from Philly to Elevation is super annoying. Â Unless there's another way that's quicker, it's traffic lights galore. Â A bike lane on Lancaster ave just kept taunting me as I sat passenger side. Â Anyway, use your preferred method of transportation.
Elevation at Wynnewood, PA sits in a strip mall. Â Right next to Tiffin^2, actually. Â First impression: Â This is so suburbia. Â Inside, it looks like a fast food joint. Â It smells like a fast food joint. Â But, brother, it ain't a fast food joint. Â So we pay a total of 48 cents thanks to our meal coupon and head to the outdoor tables. Â There's seats and tables sitting right on the strip mall sidewalk so you can catch a glimpse of... the other side of the street. Â Just keep your head down and look at the food.
We both got the namesake burger, "Elevation". Â Two thin, smashed and griddled patties, orange cheddar, "Elevation" sauce (just another Ketchup+Mayo concoction ala the numerous island variety). Â Take a bite. Â And another. Â You know what, this is better than I expected. Â Although you can't ask them for a specific temperature of done...ness, for some reason these well-done griddled beauties were really juicy. Â They were not juicy only because of grease runoff, there was also a very earthy, robust beefy taste in the meat. Â This is coming from a guy telling everyone most organic foods are an unguided movement, a waste of resources, and typically an inferior product; grass-fed beef is the real deal. Â Always has been.
Olive oil fried fries were meh, so I'm skipping it. Â After eating that well-done burger and amazed by the result, even if well-done insinuates a hockey puck texture in my mind, I can't stop thinking if I had access to their kitchen for like 10 minutes. Â What if I can form, myself, the perfect burger here?
A few weeks ago I grabbed a great deal on Groupon: A $20 Elevation burger coupon for $10. Â I've been meaning to make the trip out here for a while, and at 50% off it's even more worthwhile. Â Dan and I drove out last weekend. Â We both love a good cheeseburger, and expectations were high.
In appearance and atmosphere, the location is a pretty standard fast food joint You order at the counter, and take a seat while your food is made. Â For counter service, the girl taking our orders was pleasant and helpful.
Everything is made to order. Â The "Elevation Burger" comes with two patties and two slices of cheese on a small bun. Â I believe they only offer cheddar cheese. Â At any rate, we weren't offered any choices. Â Toppings are free, and I went with Elevation sauce (basically Thousand Island dressing), lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onions. Â The patties are small and thin, but to the perfect amount. Â The ratios of all of the ingredients are great. Â The burgers aren't cooked to order; everything here comes out close to well done. Â While it's not my preferred style, Elevation serves up a delicious cheeseburger. Â The meat tastes great, and the patties are still juicy despite being well cooked. Â Overall I was thoroughly impressed with the burger, especially as it was a delicious, well crafted small patty burger. Â And all that is priced at a cool $6.
I ordered a vanilla shake and fries to round out the meal. Â The fries are thin cut. Â Essential, they're a forgettable filler when compared to the burger. You could skip them completely, or order one basket to share among several people. Â The shake was very thick, but lacked any real flavor and/or texture. Â I feel like I could make a better one in the comfort of my own home. Â Neither of these were worth ordering in comparison to the burger.
The Bottom Line: Elevation Burger is delicious. I like their sustainable approach, and it's the closest to In-N-Out we're going to get in PA. Â While the fries and shakes leave something to be desired, the burgers themselves are reason enough to visit this suburban location. Â I'll visit again.
Look. I hate fast food places. But after living in California for 2 years, In & Out Burger has a special place in my heart and Elevation reminds me a bit of In&Out - burger or cheeseburger, fries, and milkshakes.
Elevation has the added bonus of being organic grass-fed beef which is much better for you to eat, as well as grinding their meat on site which makes it much less likely to have e coli in it! The french fries are made with olive oil, the milkshakes just scoops of ice cream. Â Elevation allows you to customize more than In&Out (unless you know the secret menu of course!) They have all kinds of toppings for your burgers and different milkshake flavors and toppings.
This has become too much of a staple - don't have time, but gotta eat place. But I feel a little better about myself for choosing organic!
I'm a huge fan of burgers so this only makes sense for me to do. Go and eat burgers. I heard that this place serves up hamburgers of cows that wear socks, listen to classical music and are petted a lot. great, lets see if this really makes a difference in the taste.
Well it didn't seem to much different. The burgers were good...a little greasier then expected but good. The place was very crowded but we managed to get a table. Yeah its a burger place. I would go back back becasue it was better then McDonalds/Burger King if I'm looking for a fast food fix.
Finally, a burger joint for those of us who care where our food comes from! Â Elevation Burger opened a few months ago, and they sell only 100% organic food, from the meat to the potatoes they use for their fries. Â Now people can enjoy a burger without worrying about hormones in their food or about the inhumane treatment of the cows or the negative impact on the environment of that burger. Â Finally, guilt-free burger goodness!
EB keeps things simple. Â You can get a fresh burger, double burger, or triple burger with a choice of several toppings. Â They also sell two different kinds of veggie burger. Â Their fries are made right there. Â You can watch the workers pop a peeled potato into the fry cutter and then fry the lovely shoestring fries in olive oil (no trans fat here!). Â They also offer shakes, malts, and cookies to go with their meals. Â
Honestly, I'd eat here all the time, except I'd probably go broke. Â Three cheers for organic eateries!
Imagine a place that dedicates itself to using only 100 percent organic ground beef and keeping the menu sharply focused on one thing only: burgers, including a veggie burger, which kind of tastes like meat.
The burger, ultra-thick shakes and fries are definitely worth a try. The fries are cooked in olive oil but are not a good as Five Guys...but still very tasty.
Watching the kitchen staff is entertaining, since they're only a few steps from the seating area. The customer service is probably the best I have ever seen in a fast food eating establishment.
Kind of surprised at some of the negatives on this place (perhaps they were created when this spot just opened - they did have some bugs early on). Â Elevation Burger is my new fave neighborhood joint. Â I was sticking to their burger, with cheddar and raw onions, and fries until I finally sampled their Veggie Burger #1 the other day. Â It is awesome! Â A nice mixture of finely chopped veggies, rice & mozzarella - I get mine w/ the balsamic mustard and ketchup. Â I like Elevation about on par with Five Guys, but hey, it's organic and it's closer! Â
I hear another reviewer about the ice cream - cheap stuff. Â Methinks Bassets would be much better. Â They should also go w/ organic ketchup if that is their USP - it tastes WAY better'n Heinz. Â Think about it: Â if your whole USP is the "grass-fed|organic|farm fresh" scenario ... well then you gotta go whole hog (pardon the pun). Â That means organic veggie burgers, buns, ketchup, etc.
Elevation's fries are also rather inconsistent - sometimes bordering on how McDonald's fries USED to be, thin, light and crisp - and other-times appearing as a greasy soggy mess. Â They'd do well to emulate Five Guys' fries, which are a good deal better and definitely more consistent. Â Olive oil "sounds" healthy but it's not the kind of oil you typically use at high heats for frying. Â Guys we're all tellin' you - the fries don't work.
-----------
ALERT TO OWNERS: Â WE ARE TELLING YOU: Â THE FRIES DON'T WORK. Â GET WITH THE PROGRAM!
I was pretty excited to hear we were getting an Elevation Burger because I've read it is like In-N-Out Burger or Five Guys, but organic. Hey, I am a young idealist who likes burgers! I can get behind that, right?
This location is very new, shiny and clean. Their system is you order, they bring it to your table. The staff was super friendly, they were checking up on customers after they had received their food, making sure everything was to their liking.
So, on to the food. I got a cheeseburger, which has a single patty (the elevation burger has two) with cheddar, elevation sauce (like "special sauce"), lettuce, tomato, pickles, and grilled onions. Chad and I split some fries, too. They also offer two kinds of veggie burgers and grilled cheese for the vegetarians.
Burgers come in those cute little paper pockets, making for some easy eating. The meat itself was a bit disappointing, it was pretty dried out. Fast food burgers are usually overcooked/well done, but I think these could benefit from either a bit more fat or less cooking. I can definitely taste the difference between a regular steak and a organic, grass-fed, free-range steak, but the meat on these burgers do not taste any better than other fast food burgers. I'm not sure if it was because of the toppings or how it was processed. However, the rest of the burger was great, which sounds weird since I just said the patty kind of sucked. But the cheese was, like, real cheese. And the bun was really good, a little eggy, like a light brioche. The veggies were really fresh and the onions were sweet. The whole thing could have used way more sauce, though.
The fries were not as good as Five Guys, but they were definitely not bad. If you like shoestring style, you'll love these. They cook their fries in olive oil and you can taste the difference if you don't douse them in ketchup. They were a bit like McDonald's, cooked to the same color and well-salted. But they were still quite tasty and did not need any additional condiments.
The milkshakes looked good, they're made with Blue Bunny. I did not partake this time, because a burger and fries is enough for me.
Conclusion: sticking to Five Guys, even though I don't like their buns as much.
