I discovered this place in October of 2019. Since then we have been coming here every Saturday after my dance class. All of the food options are great and staff has been accommodating. Unfortunately tonight it was the quite opposite. No greeting as I was waiting, After a minute of waiting I saw a sign that read self service. There is no problem until I saw how filthy the monitor look. Looking at the monitor alone made every one think of the Corona Virus. My class mates and I decided to try the Beyond Meat Burger @ Fulton Hall which was just as good. Hopefully this new idea of self ordering is corrected. Also the ordering counter was not clean and even had empty used small plates. Must be an off night. read more

food is good it's like smash burger place. service was ok, but staff looks unhapp, they should smile more when greeting customers, other that staff is knowledgeable and offers all the extra stuff that they have to offer on site. read more

My work is near Atlantic Terminal and this spot in 5 mins away from me so whenever I get the chance I stop here for their delicious and health shakes. This time I ordered two shakes classic chocolate and strawberry with half coconut and half soy milk. The server was very friendly and respectful, he took his time making these shakes and very carefully turned them into frozen yogurt ice cream shakes. I was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I also recommend there fries and sandwiches, everything is plant based but looks and taste like meat. Next Level Burger is pricy but healthy, delicious and worth it. read more

Their "meaty patty" is exactly the kind of fast-food burger style I was craving today. The All American is perfect - the tempeh adds a nice touch and has a delicious flavor. The special sauce, lemon herb mayo, and garlic thyme mayo are all delicious. I ordered through DoorDash and can confirm it's good for delivery, too. Ending my meal with a small peanut butter shake was perfect. Their hand-spun soy ice cream is not to be missed! I'll be ordering from here again and am excited to try everything else on their menu! read more

The crew working tonight (8.22.19) was ON IT! They all deserve a raise. I got a perfectly cooked fake fish sammy and a side of sweet potato fries. It totally hit the spot. It took them a little longer to whip it up, but they kept me posted and assured me it was all good. I wasn't even waiting that long! If you're looking for a good veg burger (everything is non-diary and plant based), go to Next Level Burger! read more

The food is great but this time today one of the cashiers had an attitude while serving me and my boyfriend. My boyfriend mentioned the wrong name when he went to pickup his order and the cashier rolled her eyes and caught an attitude as she went to pick it up. Customer service skills need to emphasized, especially to her, a lot more. She's lucky I didn't take a picture of her and tell her to shove the order and attitude up her ass. read more

This is a good place for quick take out. There are enough options to get the vegan burger of your dreams. I always feel really full after eating here. I'd avoid deliver as it can be really expensive and take a long time to deliver. I've had more amazing burgers but I've never had a lot of really great choices that were good all around like I have here read more

Expensive for what it is, I buy beyond burgers; cooking at home and they're killer; and I also make the fries. I don't think They don't make anything from scratch. If money was no object, then it's just OK but I don't see a point in a place like this when this is the simplest food to make at home. read more

Excellent excellent excellent. As a vegan, I love seeing more plant-based options. The food was really good. My husband eats meat and a lot of burgers especially, and he loves it here. He said it was better than McDonald's and pretty close to In-n-Out. We got the soy milkshake which was better than the coconut. The coconut shake option is more like a slushy/icy than a milkshake. We will definitely be back here again! read more

The plant based burger was delicious I don't eat meat or dairy or eggs. The pretzel bun was so good too. This will my go to vegan fast food. read more

The review is vegetarians and vegans. Fast casual all plant based restaurant with burger, hot dog, shakes, and fries on the menu. Great that everything is vegan and glad they had fake meat and veggie options (black bean, mushroom quinoa). I avoid fake meat so I liked that the menu broke them apart. Affordable and fast service with beers and kombucha on tap! Would have been nice if they had more unique veggie non fake meat flavors and options! read more

Dank vegan food. Only reason im giving 4 stars is cos its a little pricey. But all in all its amazing and if you eat meat I garuntee you will not be able to tell the difference. Update: Increased rating as I was not aware price difference was there to ensure a living wage for the employees. read more

They are ALWAYS so lovely. I had the chicken sandwich with tatertots and mmmmmm they were great. This location is in a Whole Foods, it's not too big but the customer service makes up for the space. I would mention just one person but from the moment I go in I'm treated so well amongst everyone. The wait time for the food isn't the quickest but it's worth the wait with the amount of smiles and laughter I get from the crew. You are all the bomb! read more

Wow! Glad Next Level finally made it to the East Coast. The food is amazing! Try the Animal Burger (top right) if you dare - it's humongous and worth every crumb dropped in my car. These guys ahve great service, and bring the food to you even if it's to go. Prices are really affordable which is refreshing for a vegan Brooklyn restaurant. Check this place out! read more

I used to love this place... but they might have changed their staff or something... let me explain. The concept is great vegan + GF option burgers. What happened is the following. They gave us someone else's order. We didn't notice before we got home (15 min away) we went back, asked for our burgers ( 2 GF my fiancé is allergic to gluten) . When we arrived the cashier asked the guy in the back to remake our burger. He says " no I don't, there they are" He wanted us to get the cold burgers. I was not ok with it, I insisted to get new burgers. He was not happy. They finally made them again, give them to the girl in the front. She checked "the avocados are missing " She send them back. They apparently added the avocados and sent them in the front again. There we go, finally! Dinner! Wait a second, let's check this time... just to be careful... we checked... my fiancé's burger is still missing the avocado... We went back to the cashier and asked for the missing avocado... OK ... How is it possible they didn't do it on purpose ? ... I have no idea ... Anyway ... Finally got back home, take our first bite My fiancé stopped almost right away... WRONG PADDY ... they put the one with gluten in it... he is allergic and asked specifically for the GF burger with GF patty. A nightmare this attempt for dinner !!! I am SO disappointed! Please change your staff for decent people !!! This can be really dangerous ! You need to be responsible! read more

Next Level Burger - What my fiancé had to spit once he realized he was getting poisoned by this place... - Burgers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm going to keep this simple - I've eaten at Next Level Burger several times, and each time the food in great. But honestly, not as good as the west coast spots of the same chain. The burgers are all good, especially the ones with vegan bacon, but I have noticed that they're *wetter* or more oily than I'd like a burger to be. Hot off the grill is great, but it seeps into the bun and I usually end up feeling weird as I'm rushing to finish it so the bread stays intact. The milkshakes here are some of the best vegan milkshakes I've had in my life. Honestly and truly, they beat out Champs and all the other vegan spots by a long shot. The one downside to Next level is the pricing, its a bit expensive for a semi-shared dining area with Whole Foods and a few other food spots and the service is always meh, never excellent. I'll be a fan as long as the food stays consistent. read more

August 6, 2018: Sadly, Next Level Burger is dead to me. One of your staff,Jermel, ensured this outcome today. I ordered a grilled cheese and strawberry sundae to go. Everything seemed fine until Jermel so rudely told me to eat my sundae there or I couldn't have it. Jermel got very loud with me insisting that I listen to him- last I checked I am a 39 year old woman who is not his child. I am not sure who Jermel thinks he is, but you can't force a customer to eat their to-go food in-house. Everyone around me was as shocked as I was- telling me to make sure that I complain to upper management. Jermel proceeded to talk under his breath and loudly slammed the sundae into the trash. Did I mention- Next Level is DEAD to me! I am a vegan. I work at the hospital right down the block. I used to patronize your store 4 times a week minimum. I don't have many options for vegan food in downtown Brooklyn, but Next Level will never receive a dime from me again. F- Old Review: Food is delicious and this is a go to for me, but some of the staff have "yuck" attitudes, which sucks. Also, they are often not open at opening time and/or no one at the register. read more

I wish it wasn't in a Whole Foods but the burger was BANGIN'! They also have a great selection of vegan shakes.

Went after the gym because I wanted something healthy and great!!! I had the black bean burger with crinkle fries, and the lemonade. Somehow, there was a tater tot tagging along with my fries and damn, it was good!! I tried to exchange those ole boring dry crinkle cut fries for tots but the manager wasn't having it! Don't sleep like me, always get the tots. Regarding the burger, it was more like mushed black beans, not bad but not the best I've had. The lemonade was delicious. read more

Honestly terrible from a flavor and texture standpoint. The bun was irredeemable - dull and flavorless and crumbled apart immediately upon eating. It was like dry wonderbread. The patties were devoid of flavor and texturally challenging. Vegan cheese is always a bit of a miss for me, but this was on the lower end of the scale for sure. The tempe bacon was the only saving grace on either of our burgers. The condiments were later on so thick at least I could taste those. Also, salt is vegan. Maybe use a bit? Our milkshakes were fair. In a world where Beyond and Impossible exist on a mass market scale, and places like Superiority Burger are doling our delicious plant based comfort foods that don't compromise on flavor or texture, there is no reason for this place to exist. I would have given two stars for the fact that the service was friendly, but as the restaurant itself does a disservice to veganism by putting out crap food. If you're flirting with veganism, don't try this place. Even By Chloe is worlds better than this place. read more

This is the best vegan food I've ever had!! Their strawberry basil lemonade is official and it's located right in the Whole Foods Market entrance. There's gluten free options & their tater tops are delicious as well. For two people we spent $45. It's a little on the pricey side when you add fries and drinks because the burgers are $9.45, but it's worth it. read more

I was happy to see this plant based burger joint when exiting Whole Foods today and was excited to try some things. Unfortunately I ended up wasting 25+ minutes in line with about 4/5 other customers without a single staff member working the register. There was no one to greet us or to take our order. Anyone would assume this place was closed except for the fact a few employees would peer out from the kitchen window and there were a few customers sitting and waiting for their orders. I never saw one of these people served the entire time I waited. How long does it take to make a burger and fries? Finally I saw one employee make her way to a table to tell a customer that his gluten free burger could not be made because the GF grill wasn't working. I don't understand why she wouldn't tell he people in line this so they wouldn't be wasting their time either. I was really wanting to like this place but I finally left. I realized if the staff doesn't care about their customers enough to greet them or take their orders they probably don't care enough to make a good product. This was a terrible first impression. I recommend that you hire a GM or better employees. Unacceptable! read more

out of all the plant-based burgers that i've tried, these were definitely some of the best! i didn't tell my dad that i had gotten vegan burgers for our father's day dinner, but it's not like he noticed anyway haha. -this location is located inside ashland place. it's on the first level, above wholefoods. -you can order for pickup and delivery directly through their website. if you download their app, they ocassionally give you $1 off discounts every once in a while; we got $1 off this order for a father's day discount. you can also get them for delivery through grubhub and seamless i think. -i'm unsure if they accept cash. -there is no seating outdoors. 6/21/20 -american burger: this came with a beefy style patty, dill pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, tempeh bacon, a choice of cheese, and choice of sauce; my dad opted for american cheese and the house special sauce. if you get a single patty, it's around $12 without tax. since we ordered a double patty, it came out to be around $14 without tax. my dad actually still felt hungry after finishing it, even though he did enjoy it. it probably would've been enough for a normal person, but i think that $15 with tax for this is kind of pricey. (3.5/5) -crispy chik'n burger: i got this for myself; it came with a "chicken" patty, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and lemon-herbed mayo sauce. the exterior of the chicken patty had the perfect crunch, which made each bite satisfying. i could tell that it wasn't chicken, it still had a good texture. the lemon-herbed mayo gave this a nice touch, and it wasn't too overpowering either. for only $11 with tax, i think that this was a relatively good deal. the bun was a bit dry, but it was fine once i microwaved it. (4/5) -signature burger: my mom got this one, and she didn't have any complaints. it comes with a mushroom and quinoa patty, avocado, a choice of cheese, and roasted thyme mayo. it was a fair amount of food for about $12.50 with tax. (3.5/5) overall, this place uses fresh ingredients to make pretty high quality food. i'm just unsure about whether their their price is worth it. although their burgers may look big upon first glance, they just don't seem too filling; on the bright side, you won't feel too heavy after eating a burger from here. i can see myself coming back in the future, but probably not anytime soon. my favorite that i would recommend you must try would be the crispy chik'n burger. read more

Next Level Burger has been featured on several blogs / news articles / tastebuds with raving reviews across the board. Newly added to Brooklyn's already-exorbitant list of amazing vegan food at affordable prices, Next Level Burger really takes burgers to the "next level" with unique 100% plant-based flavor combinations specifically cultivated to not only copy your favorite big boy / girl burger but improve it with organic and thoughtful ingredients. Situated inside at the front door of the new Whole Foods 365 on Flatbush by Atlantic Center, Next Level Burger is in a perfect spot to satiate and obliterate any feelings of hunger or cravings you may have; whether you're a hearty vegan, vegetarian or meat-eater the burgers and sides here are sure to satisfy you. Where the *real story* is and honestly what really takes this place to ANOTHER level (if you're counting, that's two-levels higher than your other burger joint that serves antiquated and unhealthy animal based "food") is the amazing beer on tap selection ranging from Racer 5 IPA (one of the best and brightest from California, where the best IPA's are made IMO), Harlem Blue, hard ginger beer, hard kombucha, and just all out going hard plus several more drafts so you can get your burger and beer with the added benefits of 1) not feeling overwhelmed or bloated afterward, 2) no potential feelings of guilt for paying for a dead animal and 3) eating all organic, environmentally-safe foods made to order (and if you get it take away then it comes in biodegradable container with bio-flatware.) TLDR: AMAZING vegan burgers with wide assortment of cheeses and sides Delicious beers on tap Affordable (~8-9$ for a large burger or 15$ if you're MEGA hungry for "The Animal" and think you can handle it Inside Whole Foods so you can go downstairs and grocery shop before or after Environmentally friendly Just go, bruh read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! As a proud Vegan, I must say: 1) The food is delicious 2) The venue is clean 3) The customer service is friendly and fun 4) The Managers are kick-ass 5) This is a great place to bring a date I have patronized here almost every day since opening day. The staff know my name and the love me. We as always laugh and have a great time. I would recommend Next Level Burger to Vegans and non-Vegans alike. read more

On a scale of 1-10 I was a solid 10 on the excitement scale when I saw next level burger in Whole Foods. Based on their social media the burgers looked extremely similar to veggie grill in the west coast, so needless to say I was pumped. Sad to say that I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the burger. The buns were dry, the burger tasted like it was out of the microwave and the blue cheese was ehhh. For being in a Whole Foods, they lacked quality and freshness. I'm not sure if it was the location or what but there was so much potential here and they came up short. read more

By Chloe, Impossible Burger, and even Beyond Meat burgers that you buy at Whole Foods and cook at home are all better plant-based burgers than these. I think where NLB falls short is that their food tastes too healthy. Just because I'm veg doesn't mean I want everything to taste like a salad all the time. The bun is health grain and way too big for the patty, the patty itself is very dry and not really comparable to meat--reminds me of the hockey pucks they served at my high school and called burgers--and the vegan cheese really just has a bad flavor. I think vegan cheese is usually a miss though, so not really their fault. Maybe just avoid. Places like By Chloe have really raised my expectations to how delicious vegan can be, and Nextlevel just isn't delicious. The fries are fine. read more

Everyone knows I love burgers- of all kinds. I had been hearing about Next Level for some time and when I found out it had popped up near my house, I had to try. And boy was I DISAPPOINTED on EVERY front there was. Wanting the full experience, I got the "Special Sauce Burger": "Savory Meaty Patty topped with House-made Special Sauce, Dill Pickles and Cheddar or Swiss Style Cheese" and a small tots. I ordered my burger at 1:13pm. About 15 minutes in, the couple next to me, who ordered after me, got their much larger order of two burgers, fries and shakes. OK- maybe they had those on hand??? Rationalizing here. The alarms started going off in my head when I heard a couple behind me say "we ordered two burgers and a french fries and what we got was a burger and bbq fries"... or something of the like. Again and again I was hearing these "yes, but I actually order THIS and got this other thing instead." Yikes. At 1:45pm (I said I would give myself a half hour), I asked one of the waitstaff "Hey can you check up on 54 please" and the guy gave me a "sure". I asked him again, politely, after a few minutes and he said, "I don't know what to tell you, it's coming." I wasn't having it. I saw the lady who looked like she was calling the shots and I asked her about my order and she said something about "them not putting my order through and that it's coming right away... to comp you I am giving you two free shakes" In my head I was like "GIRL, I DIDN'T ORDER A SHAKE THIS TIME WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK I WOULD WANT IT NEXT TIME AROUND?" Oh boy, am I getting HANGRY. Keep it calm man, keep it cool. So I waited and made sure the manager-looking lady could see me. She finally came back with my food (1:57pm) and apologized profusely, giving me a $50 gift card and asked me to return. That's a bit better. Now to the food, which we finally got. It was.... meh. As far as veggie burgers go this was nothing special. It was also small for what I paid for. I also asked for tots and got french fries. The fries were excellent, however. Rich, seasoned, crispy and the ketchup was out of this world. Best ketchup I probably have ever had. It was a bit zesty, creamy and not a lick of the watery stuff normally found in ketchup. The $50 card will be spent, eventually. In the late future. I will try and provide an update then. I recommend management do a re-up of training and make sure everybody knows their role. read more

Had the classic burger which is made with the beyond burger. Have to say, t'was amazing! Got it with cheese and special sauce! Closest thing I've had to a real burger. read more

So good! Great vegan milkshakes. The burgers are fun to create and the vegan patty has always been really tasty. I miss working downtown because of this place. read more

The food is really good here Its more like a fast food atmosphere as you counter order so wouldnt recommend a date here But good selection of salads burgers and fries read more

I definitely recommend this place. I ordered using Postmates. I got the Signature Burger. The burger came with cheese on it, which I was skeptical about because I don't use or eat mock cheeses. I chose American and it was great. The burger was delicious. The quinoa patty had a really light flavor and the mayo did as well. I also got a Cookies 'N Cream soy shake. It was tasty. It didn't have the cookies 'n cream flavor I was expecting, but I think it's just because they don't use actual Oreos. The person I was with got the Beyond Burger with cheddar cheese on a gluten free bun, as well as a strawberry soy shake. She loved her meal too! read more

Waited over 20 minutes for a shake... when they made my shake, they used a spoon that had peanut butter in it (even though I ordered a strawberry shake). The server Asia was waiting on the other food and just talking the entire time. Not coming here again ... read more

Burger is good but the pace can be misleading for us meat eaters. On my most recent visit, I received the wrong burger and am upset as this was a cheat meal. Good food nonetheless the verdict is out on the shake lol it taste too healthy! read more

My wife and I recently decided to live a more plant based diet and were super excited to try this place. Word on the street their chicken sandwiches were delicious. We both ordered the spicy chicken sandwich which is served with Tempe "bacon", pepper jack cheese, jalapeños and avocado. It had a nice kick to it but the avocado really helped tone it down to where it was easy to consume. The patty itself wasn't falling apart which you usually see with veggie burgers. We shared a side for Yukon gold tater tots with chipotle Mayo (vegan) and left nothing on the plate. Def coming back here again a the carry a large range of meat substitutes. Great service at the register as well! Happy New Year!!! read more

It's hard to find, well practically impossible to find a place where you don't have to worry about what you are eating. It's all plant based (vegan). I had the Brooklyn burger and tots and crinkled fries. It was all delicious. Love it. I'm so happy. read more

What more could you ask for? This place is 100% meat free..and it's so good! Sweet potato fries and tater tots are so good! Please come - the staff members are so nice! read more
