We showed up at 8:50 PM and the employees had already locked the doors and wouldn't look up when I tried to get their attention. I even knocked. Unacceptable. read more

We placed an order online so that we could avoid standing in the store for COVID reasons. They didn't receive it, which they said was not uncommon. They then took a screenshot of our order, made our meal, and forgot our one of our burgers. In all, we waited around 45 minutes for our meal. No apology. No discount. Never coming back here again. read more

So me and Eric missed the continental breakfast this morning so we were starving by the time we got out of the museum. We tried to go to Shake Shack,,,no parking, then Bobby's Burger Palace again no parking. So we settled for this. It was ok. It was EXPENSIVE. We got 2 burgers 2 FF and one drink and it was 25$. The burger was ok,,nothing great and i didnt like the FF at all. He loved his BBQ cheese double burger. We were starving so it was ok but i wouldn't go back again. read more

Elevation Burger - Ouch - Burgers Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

Oh my God, Elevation Burger was actually awesome. The ambiance is really nice. Double Patty was so delicious, that I am now recommending it to all my friends. The service was terrific. They were quick, efficient, and got everything right. Why would you want to go anywhere else besides Elevation Burger? read more

Pretty disappointed with the fried chicken sandwich & bacon cheeseburger. Chicken seemed air fried, not crispy at all and they just put a dollop of sauce on it. The burger was insanely overcooked & the meat was VERY dry and flavorless and if it weren't for Covid I would have only given 1 star. read more

The food was so yummy! I had the spicy oneI wish the fries were a bit larger but they were still tasty

The food was terrible. I left and had a stomach ache for almost 2 days. The burger I had was something that I could have made at home. I will not be returning. read more

I love that you can get a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. And the veggie burgers are pretty good. The fries are way too greasy, and I like my fries on the greasy side. Quality seems to have fallen off since initial open. Good lunch option but not first choice. After posting this I heard from Max at Elevation Burger. I look forward to my next visit assured that the leadership is listening and cares. Thanks Max. read more

Got my order from here on Saturday due to the virus going around and my food was Top tier and milkshakes was still cold upon delivery nice service read more

Really disappointed in the veggie burgers here... Morningstar's are better, honestly. The toppings are decent -- particularly the caramelized onions -- but the whole thing is sort of a greasy disintegrated mess by the time you're halfway through, and not in a good way. Also, the fries are mediocre and the "salad" is a box of lettuce. If you're in this strip of restaurants in Hyattsville, go down a few doors to Spice 6 instead! A million times better. read more

This review is only based on the bbq grilled chicken sandwich with cheddar. The chicken was over-cooked and the sandwich fell apart from a weak bun and too much ch sauce. It cost me over $9 and tastes more like it should be $4.BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger read more

I absolutely adore Elevation Burger--specifically the Hyattsville, MD location. I LOVE their veggie burger #2. It's the vegan burger and it's absolutely delicious! I LOVE that I can order my burger w/o bread and have it wrapped (and even double wrapped) with lettuce. I absolutely LOVE their delicious fries which are cooked in olive oil. This is such a cozie and friendly place to go and grab a healthy meal! My husband loves their Elevation Burger, which is made of 100% organic, 100% grass-fed and 100% free-range beef. I'm super impressed! If my husband is going to eat meat, I feel better about him eating quality meat (that hasn't been shot up with a bunch of hormones and whatever else or fed a mysterious diet). I love that my meal is brought to my table and that the staff is so friendly! Each visit, I feel welcomed and right at home. I also like that the eating area is always clean and monitored by a staff member that will ask if he/she can take an empty tray from your table or if you need water, condiments or anything else. Great customer service. Lastly, I really like the frequent visitor card! Every time you order any burger, your card get's a hole punched in it. When you reach 7 holes....you get a FREE burger! YES!! Dream come true--an Elevation Burger for free. #Heaven Elevation Burger Hyattsville is one of my favorite places to eat. read more

I'm really surprised this place has better reviews than Bobbys burger palace. Burgers are held by two greasy cold buns. Very flimsy greasy meats. Variety of toppings are the only saving grace. Fries are disgustingly greasy, thin, often cold and tasteless. Customer service at this particular location is complete crap. I've had many sub par experiences and one extremely unprofessional terrible experience that was enough to drive my family and I away for good. (Placed an order for delivery bc it allowed it online, they took my money and order, never called, never answered the phone, I went up there to see what happened and my food had been sitting there cold for an hour and a half while employees ignored calls...wtf? They didn't even offer an apology, to warm the food, make a new order, refund money, comp future meal, nothing!) All that to say - hell no to elevation burger, especially this location. I really don't get the hype even if they did have redeeming customer service I can't see me paying for greasy cold tasteless slop. read more

We live around the corner, so have gone about half a dozen times in the couple weeks they've been open. The place is consistently busy, but never feel like there's an excessive wait. Burgers & fries both feel less greasy than Five Guys. Maybe its just in my head, but with it being grass fed/organic it feels healthier. The Cheddar is a definite upgrade from the usual American. We have a few vegetarian friends, so glad we can take them someplace that has not one but TWO veggie burger options (honestly they were amazed there was more than one option thrown at them, they seem to struggle with the idea of having a choice). Shakes are okay -- and like that they have a few topping options at no extra charge -- but would say burgers are definitely stronger. Staff is very nice & energetic -- it may just be the "yay we just opened" excitement, so hopefully they can keep it up. read more

Great place to stop for a GOOD quick burger.. stay away from the side salads though as it was just a container of lettuce.. not really a salad.. read more

Good burgers here! I had been meaning to try Elevation Burger for quite a while, largely because I wanted to get a ten patty monster of a sandwich, but I never made it over to NoVA. Now that there's one near College Park it's a lot easier to get a good burger fix that isn't Five Guys! This is probably the closest thing to In-n-Out that we have in the DC area. For one, it's the same style of burgers (thin patties). They serve milkshakes. You can order multiple patties on your burger (the limit is ten). About the only thing missing is animal style. I ordered an Elevation Burger which is two patties with cheese, and got caramelized onions and Elevation Sauce (basically secret sauce) on top of it. The meat was cooked well, with slight charring that was not overpowering at all. The bun was sturdy, and it needed to be; the amount of grease that dripped out of the wrapping could lubricate all the moving parts in an aircraft carrier. The fries are cooked in olive oil which imparts a slight flavor on them that you may or may not like. Olive oil also doesn't reach as high a temperature as other oils and so the fries are not very crispy. However, for their style (shoestring) they were passable. I've definitely had better ones but these will do. I did not try the milkshakes but they sure sounded good. One disappointment was that despite all their boasting about their grass-fed organic beef and olive oil and what not, they had no sodas like Boylans available. Darn. read more

Veggie Burger #1 is numero uno and those french fries with caramelized onions and cheese will change your life. I think the milkshake uses low fat milk or something because it has a weird taste to it but other than that I love it. It's an up and coming franchise and I think it's a great idea. Their meat is from hormone-free cows and that's cool to a lot of folks. I've only had the veggie options so I'm not sure how great the hamburgers are. Suggestion: Put caramelized onions on everything. read more

Staff was very rude and left me standing at the register. The arguing in the kitchen was so loud I would not be back. The food was good but the service and the noise out the kitchen I won't recommend this place to anyone read more

I can't enough Elevation Burger. It's a nearly guilt free way to enjoy one of the foods I love most. As I'm sure you've read, grass-fed, organic, free range beef, with local and organic ingredients for topping and sides. They give you a caloric break down of everything on the menu. Recently, they've added organic bacon and mushrooms to the menu. If you're on the paleo diet, or other low/no carb diet, worry not. You can order you burger wrapped in lettuce and not sacrifice any flavor! They are also known for their french fries which are hand cut and fried in olive oil. They have a large selection of organic sodas and juices. The best part about Elevation burger is that you don't feel like you've eaten a brick when you're finished. My elevation burger: 2 patties with cheddar cheese bacon lettuce tomato pickles caramelized onions elevation sauce hot pepper relish and balsamic mustard wrapped in lettuce If you have kids, 12 and under eat free on Sunday. I would love to see two things added to the menu, sweet potato fries and beer! read more

This is definitely my go to place for my burger and fry fix. I'm very particular about the food I put into my body, and I take extreme comfort in the fact that there is a place serving good ol' American burgers that I can feel good about eating. From grass-fed beef to fries fried in 100% olive oil, this place knows how to get to this girl's heart. My friend, who has a lot of serious food allergies, and I come here all the time since it is one of the only places he can eat and know that he will not get sick from cross-contamination or a slip up in ingredients. In short, this place is pro at responsibly-sourced, delicious, speedy food that I will take advantage of gladly! read more

This visit was a rollercoaster. When we walked in, we were confused as to how ordering worked as this was our first time. The girl at the register had an attitude and the two women working in the kitchen kept staring at us as if there was a problem. We ordered 3 milkshakes and four burgers. When we received our milkshakes they tasted like watered down milk and none of us could taste the flavour that we ordered (strawberry and oreo). We went back and asked for a refund and was told to get a refund we had to call a different company so we asked if we could get a burger and fries as the total would equal the milkshakes. During this wait, we checked our original burgers and our burgers were PLAIN despite us paying for toppings. When we brought this up, they attempted to take the burgers we had and just add toppings to them which was very unsanitary. At this point, considering COVID-19 and the terrible customer service, I won't be returning. And the burgers weren't even that good. One burger was even undercooked. read more

The food isn't bad, but it definitely isn't worth the price. Out of convenience, I've been here twice and was surprised by how much they charged for a pretty average burger and fries (about 11$ for just a burger and fries - no drink). Further, I don't like being nickled and dimed for burger toppings. 1.20$ for cheese? No thanks. I'm not a fan of 5 guys, but you can get the same thing for half the price there. You could also go to one of the nicer places in the area like bus boys or franklins and get a much nicer meal for about the same price. In short, skip it. You can find much better in the area for the same price or less. read more

I love this place, it was a go to for our family. However they have taken the online order component away from their website, which is extremely frustrating. For a family on the go this is a must. Please bring it back ASAP. read more

I was in another dining establishment about to be seated when I saw this place across the street. I had heard about Elevation Burger from friends so I was dying to try this place. I quickly made up an excuse and made a beeline across the street to try this burger. Let me first say that the place was clean and the employees were friendly. I also like the sustainable philosophy of this company. Now for the rating of the food....after all the build up and sneaking out of another establishment to try the food here all I'm left with is disappointment for my review. The burger was fresh and cooked well but lacked any signature taste. It was just an ordinary burger. The fries were greasy and I got a lot of fry bits instead of whole fries. Hopefully, I will try Elevation again and have a better food experience. read more

Only eaten here 3-4 times. Really tasty burgers. Wait time is always longer than wanted. Summary: Burgers bit better and wait time slower than Five Guys. Elevation and Five Guys are a cut above the rest of the burger crowd. read more

Ever have that yearning for burger? I mean a REAL urge for one. Like...you look at a stop sign and it reminds you of a slice of tomato or your coworker is eating Chinese food and you can't seem to fool yourself that the smell is not that of a bacon cheeseburger. That's how I felt yesterday. I have a few favorite spots for days like this but that day I decided on Elevation Burger. Not fast food, but not gourmet either. I chose the Less Guilt Burger with lettuce, tomato, fried onion, and jalapeños with a side of ranch dressing. I also got fries. After the sticker shock of the price, sat down in the spacious dining area. Usually I enjoy jazz (real jazz, not smooth jazz) while I eat, but this time I listened to a podcast. As soon as I got comfortable, poof! There was my burger. But ummmm....no fries. No fries? If I ordered the 2 together, why I would i want them served separately? I don't know how that happened, but is never again no no in my book. My burger was good and juicy but not terribly flavorful. The fries were fine but a bit skimpy on the portion. Maybe I was just really hungry? I would recommend Elevation Burger, but it's no Numeric Slang for Masculine Being Ground Beef & Potato Derivations. **think about it....there ya go! Ya got it!** read more

I've written about Elevation Burger before and my review still holds regarding the quality of the food.... Yummmmmo!! By far my FAVE burger joint!!! This review is solely based on this location. Conveniently located by my home in the Hyattsville Arts District. This place may receive such high regards with the outdoor seating area. It's never too crowded and it's always been consistent. Only down side at this location could be parking on a busy nice weathered weekend. If you find parking, nice spot and good eats. read more

I'm giving this place a Solid 2 stars. One for the customer service and one for the ample toppings. I would ONLY come back is I was in the mood for a lettuce tomato onion and customer service sandwich. If I didn't get it to go I would have asked for my money back read more

Good for the 'burbs, average for the city. I live close by so Elevation Burger is on my short list when I have a craving for a hamburger and fries (heck with McDonalds down the street!). My opinion is pretty much the same every time I have gone. The burgers are okay but they're not amazing. The fries are good but they are often soggy and sometimes have the wrong toppings (one I time they didn't even put them on). Everything is freshly made but it's not exactly lighting speed. Employees are kind but not oozing with enthusiasm to greet you and have you dine there. The prices are a bit high for the quality but it's not as bad as DC. Overall, everything is middle ground. I haven't had a burger that I have despised but I haven't had one that made me think "wow, I'm going to stop grilling out and come here instead". I'll continue to go there when I am too lazy to get hamburger meat from the grocery store. I wish it were a place that was a treat to visit but at least it does the job. It's odd to me that Elevation Burger doesn't go out of its way to serve great burgers and quick food because there are several "fast food" or quick places around it and Bobby's Burger Palace is up the street. Almost like they know I'm around the corner and will stop by anyway...maybe I should start voting with my feet. read more

I went there on a whim one Saturday afternoon about 2 weeks ago in search of something different in the neighborhood. I remembered this place was open & stopped in. The young lady that took my order was very friendly & seemed as excited as I was about winning free fries! I ordered a single patty cheeseburger with caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes & elevation sauce. She asked if I wanted fries and after some hesitation, I said no. She told me I could flip the coin to win free fries. I did & I won fries! They called my name & brought my order to the table. The cheeseburger reminded me of old school Wendy's burgers. The elevation sauce made it even better. The fries were nice & cripsy outside though I regret putting ketchup on them, they were bvetter off wihtout them. I will definitely be going back soon especially since I have a free burger to earn with my Club 7 Card! My only complaint was that the young lady that was cleaning up swept around my table while I was eating. It's just a pet peeve of mine. read more

I am a fan of this location. My wife and I went here earlier this afternoon. The food was ok. I can see why someone would say that the food is greasy, but wasn't overly greasy or bad. It's fast food and it's just ok. What I love about this place is the team members. They all seem genuinely interested and go out their way to assist you. As a former restaurant manager, I look for the "wow" effect and have consistently found it here. Now, if they could improve they food, we can talk about 5 stars. read more

So disappointed in this place. I got a vegan burger and it was cooked so hard that I could barely eat it. Also, I asked for only lettuce ketchup and mayo and the tiny singular piece of lettuce I got was hardly big enough for a slider, much less a whole burger. I've had great veggie burgers there before but seems like this spot is heading downhill. Will give them one more chance before I say no more. read more

Elevation Burger - The amount of lettuce here doesn't even qualify as rabbit food - Burgers Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

See all

The burgers are solid, not too big (though I had the double). The same holds true for the fries, lightly salted, nice hot and crunchy: very good overall. However, this is not BGR or Ray's Hellburger, more like a high quality ingredients McDonalds with better sauces - for example the balsamic vinegar mustard. Arguably a good decision, positioning themselves below these two but above chains such as Five Guys (too greasy). Amusing interior design, medium and dark blues with whites, with the poster designs reinforcing the feeling of a certain recent political campaign. read more

Elevation Burger is one of my favorite place to eat in Hyattsville! It's in a cute little area in the Arts district across from Busboys and Poets. The beef is 100% grass fed which means no yucky hormones etc. You walk away from this place NOT feeling like you got punched in the gut as you might with another popular place with the same concept (I won't name names on here). You go up to the counter and specify what kind of burger you want (I am a fan of the "elevation burger") and then all the toppings you like, they even have organic bacon that is really tasty and cheese that tastes like it could be cut right off the block. They even have the option to get the lettuce wrapped, which I love because I am not into carbs much. They also have delicious fries that are made in olive oil which I had never heard of before, but I now know the glory of the olive oil fry! The service is super quick as well. I have never had a disappointing experience here, in fact my husband and I come here most Saturdays for lunch! It's a little expensive for just a quick burger, but totally worth it to me (about $24 for two people). read more

My wife and I just ate here for the first time a few days ago. We were surprised at the pleasant dining experience since they just opened this location a week ago. Overall the service was great as the place was bustling, the food delicious and non-expensive, and the atmosphere charming in Hyattsville's new Arts District. read more

Elevation Burger - Burgers Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

Elevation Burger is the grass-fed, free-range version of Five Guys. Like Five Guys, they have burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, except theirs are made with organic beef and aged cheddar. Unlike Five Guys, they have two types of veggie burgers, as well. The food was tasty! I regret not trying their shakes, because I bet they are really good, too! My problem with Elevation isn't the food; it's the lack of originality. The restaurant was founded almost 20 years after Five Guys in the same area (Washington DC). It feels like the founder went to Five Guys, wished it was organic, and then opened his slightly altered version of the place. I don't know -- I just can't get really excited about the restaurant for that reason. read more

The burger seemed pretty good. I got the single patty cheeseburger. The patty was a bit hard to taste, since I got the "elevation sauce" (seemed like a tangy thousand island, a bit out of McDonald's book) and they were quite generous with it. I usually skip the cheese on burgers because it's not tasteless. Not the case here - this chedder was fantastic, exactly what you would want on a burger. The price is pretty good for the type of beef. I think the double patty double cheese would be a bit too much. The bun was quite disappointing, though, and a real missed opportunity. It was a soft, somewhat tasteless bread that just seemed tacked on, with everything else happening. They could at least toast it like Five Guy's. Roommate didn't like the fries, but I didn't try them. Verdict? If it was closer to me than Five Guy's I'd go there more often because it's comparable in price and the meat quality is definitely higher (though Five Guy's meat is quite good) but I'd rather have the Five Guy's. read more

Food tasted like it came from a high school Cafeteria. Out of 4 different sodas....out of crispy chicken....out of grilled chicken...men's restroom was nasty...women's restroom out of order... read more

I had the half guilty burger, cookie, and fries. Amongst vegetarian patties, the one here was not my favorite. I think I had the #2 and it just tasted weird. The cookies were good and was a redeeming factor. Fries were decent too. The staff was really friendly. Overall, nothing too special that I would go out of my way for but would probably stop by to get my burger fix. read more

Dearest Elevation, you've added bacon and therefore added me to your fan club! The organic burgers are pretty tasty and I've grown to love the shoestring fries. Oh, and the milkshakes! I usually get strawberry but I love that here you can get a chocolate shake with Hershey's syrup for more chocolatey goodness. Let's make a bacon chocolate milkshape happen and we can make five stars happen. read more
