    Classic Burger & Organic Cookies N' Cream Shake
    Gabrielle B.

    I've been obsessed with next level burger for many years ever since I first tried it while I lived in Oregon. I was lucky enough to attend the grand opening of the Denver location which I loved! I only recently found out that there were some locations in the Bay Area and today I was finally able to visit the concord location. This NLB is attached to a Whole Foods which is so perfect. It has a little self order kiosk which makes ordering so simple. Although it's small, there is lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The water station had delicious fresh iced water, everything was clean and staff in the back were very nice and asked if I needed help despite the kiosk which I appreciated. I ordered the classic burger and my favorite shake: coconut based cookies and cream. It was just as amazing as I remembered. I can't believe it's been nearly a year since my last fix... I'm already planning my next visit (maybe to the SF one next!). I am mostly plant based so I really love the concept of this restaurant! It's 100% plant based- every single thing here is vegan. I've brought many meat eaters here who all love it as well. The ingredients are always fresh and amazing and I never feel sick afterwards, regardless of how much I eat. I love the burgers and fries but the milkshakes are the best part in my opinion. I always get the coconut based and it doesn't have an overpowering coconut flavor. Every shake I've tried has been mouthwatering, but the peanut butter and cookies and cream are my favorite. I did notice my paper straw was getting soggy towards the end of my shake today so my only recommendation would be to find a different type of compostable straw. It didn't detour me in the least from guzzling the whole thing though. I would highly recommend NLB especially if you're plant based! It will become your new favorite place.

    Plenty of indoor and outdoor (other side of the glass) seating

    April 10, 2025 The staff was very friendly and the dining area was clean. The ol lady and I shared a dine-in Sunshine burger, a chili fries and a coke. It was hilarious when the burger was brought to the table. I freaked out because of the raw side up egg on top of the meat. "That is not ours!" I exclaimed. "I hate raw eggs". Then I looked at the menu picture and sadly read that I had ordered it. In the menu picture the egg is hidden by bread. "I'll just remove the egg" I said sadly to the wait staff. "It's a vegan egg" the woman said with a nice smile and a twinkle of humor in her eye. I chuckled at myself as I gobbled my half of the sandwich and most of the fries. Very tasty and everything was served hot. The look, taste and texture was very much like a meal with meat. I was pleasantly surprised and left feeling as if my appetite was at least as sated as if I had eaten a double double cheeseburger and fries at In-N-Out. The negatives The condiments were put on way too thick and I'd have preferred to put them on myself. With the pile of condiments and the egg yoke I had quite a hard to handle sauce sandwich. The price was about 2.5 times more than that meal of a double and a single burger and fries the old lady and I usually share at In-N-Out. I'm afraid we likely will not be coming back only for this price point. If the price was equivalent to meat I would choose Next Level quite often..

    Thank you Bizzerkeley!

    First the shakes here are so wonderfully good! We get a mix of coconut and soy soft serve . Of course we ask for added whipped cream. We add toppings and syrups and we love all of them. Ask for the seasonal new options when you go in. Sit outside with your pets and enjoy the fires hot, w the yummy ketchup. I think I've tried all the burgers here and my new favorite is the spicy chickn burger! It's so good! My fam and friends all agree even if they aren't fully vegan, this is the spot! Please open up more locations, like a drive thru even. Maybe a pouch to keep sides hotter, like the fries would be helpful.

    Shake cookie dough chocolate and small tater tots
    Aman S.

    First of all I thought this was Super Duper burger. The color scheme and location was almost the same. Second of all I had absolutely no clue that this place was 100% vegan . No beef. They really don't advertise as such . I used the touch screen kiosk. The pics the interface I had the assumption this was a legit beef burger place. I chose the cheeseburger tater tots with a couple of sauces ghost pepper ranch and regular ranch . The shakes page was very confusing all were organic and the options were coconut or soy based. I have no clue what this means I had to ask. The end result was not to my liking . I ordered cookie dough chocolate shake. It didn't taste like a normal shake at all and I understand the healthy business model. The burger was average I had a n impossible burger before and they just aren't the same as beef and this one had no aroma it looked like a real cheeseburger but it wasn't satisfying. I felt like I was tricked when I came here. Just remember this place doesn't have real meat. Don't make the same mistake it did thinking I was getting a real beef burger meal. For all the vegetarians there is a reason why by this place has been open for so long it's because of your guys demand of vegan and gluten free food. I'm all about health and watching red meat intake and UPF Ultra Processed Foods and their link to diseases. The communal seating setup is kinda oddly put together. Service is friendly but this is probably my first and last time here. I meant to go to Super Duper burgers on the opposite side of the this Concord shopping center with Luxe movie theater and Dave and busters yard house etc.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough* Shake
    Emmeline W.

    Located in Whole Foods. Pretty impressive! Great option for an in-store burger joint. We grabbed a quick meal while out for groceries for our NYE party :D Can place your order on the kiosk or with staff. The entire menu is plant-based, including the shakes. Staff are warm and welcoming :-) CHICK'N BACON RANCH BURGER: Soft bun + fresh veg + hearty chicken substitute! Very filling. The chicken could be crispier/firmer, but I think it just comes with the territory of veggie meat. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH SHAKE (soy, no whipped cream): THICCC. They even give a boba straw. You'll have to wait for it to melt a bit before even thinking about drinking more. I think this could pass the DQ flip check... For flavor, the soy is noticeable, but doesn't overpower the sweet cookie dough. My bf and I loved this. The premises are actually kept pretty clean! I feel like these types of spots fall into disarray fast, but the seating areas were tidy with no mess to be seen.

    Crispy Chik'n Burger
    Ranjit G.

    I got the crispy chik'n burger and yes it was crispy! I also got the strawberry shake. Both were delicious! I added American cheese and jalapeños but I think the burger would have been fine without the additions. Great customer service and they have a list of possible allergens. I'm not allergic to any food but my kids are and it's great to know what has nuts in it.

    Beyond Burger* Sweet Potato Fries*
    Alan D.

    I was shopping in Whole Foods and I always wanted to try this place. My friend recommended it to me, so I gave it a try. Ordering was very simple and the worker answered all the questions I had. Eventually, I settled for the Beyond Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. Beyond Burger: I'm a huge fan of beyond meat and they hit the spot for this. It was a rather straightforward burger with all the fixings. I got it with a small order of sweet potato fries and I give them a bonus for using krinkle cut fries, which is my favorite. It was somewhat crispy and the sauce they gave you paired well. Overall, I can see myself coming back here again.

    I moved away for a few years for schooling and such, but prior to moving Next Level Burger was always one of my favorite places to stop and get some quick and delicious food. When I would visit home and drive by, I wondered if it was as good as I remembered, or if it was just a fond memory and good times. I am happy to report that we visited Next Level Burger after recently moving back and it is still delicious after all these years. It is incredibly hard to find even decent vegetarian food, especially healthy, with protein, fast, or affordable. Next Level Burger does the unthinkable and combines all of these. I wish the company didn't close Veggie Grill, another vegetarian fast food spot in Walnut Creek, as it was one of my only other healthy veggie protein options. It has been heavily missed. The menu here is pretty much burgers, shakes and fries, but they are all done very well. There are options of different vegetarian patties for your burger, different sauces, and additions of tempeh bacon and condiments to customize for your perfect burger. Specializing in vegetarian burgers, it's refreshing to have fake meat that isn't overcooked and dried out. The employees have also been kind upon both visits, and the ordering kiosk was convenient and helpful. Our last visit my addition of bacon was missed, but otherwise we have received no less than great vegetarian food. We have already been back, and will continue to do so!

    Farmhouse Caesar* and kombucha on tap
    Stephanie M.

    Super delicious! I got their farmhouse salad and one of their kombuchas on tap and it was very good. Service was good. We sat at the bar facing the window and it is very cozy.

    Signature Burger*
    Tanaka C.

    First time and we were excited to try. However, first bite into our burgers and the meat literally broke apart. Sister and I got the signature burger and our sister got the chicken sandwich which she said she really liked and would order again. The sweet potato fries were amazing as were the onion rings. If I come again, I would try the milk shake and definitely get the sweet potato fries. The garlic mayo was amazing. Amy was our cashier and was fun. She was patient with us and made recommendations.

    Maverick Burger
    Max B.

    Awesome! Fast casual joint inside of the Whole Foods. They have something for everybody, with decadent meaty cheesy burgers, healthy mushroom grain and bean burgers, over the top creations, and spicy hot hot hot burgers. I had the blue cheese burger with tempeh bacon and the mushroom and quinoa patty, and my dad had the Maverick Burger with BBQ sauce and onion rings which he loved.

    Tater Tots*

    I really wanted to like this place because it's plant based, but my burger came out burnt and the tots were dark brown rather than golden brown due to using old, degraded frying oil.

    Ask the Community - Next Level Burger

    What's the best shake?

    All of them! Seasonals shakes are always a good treat. Strawberry and Cookies N' Cream are some of my favorites.

    Is the entire menu vegan? Asking cause me and the wife are vegan and wanted to know if its only part of the menu or the entire menu.

    100% Plant-based. Non GMO. Organic. Stop on by! :)

    How is their take-out?

    I've gotten takeout twice now and both times the food was disappointingly at room temperature, including the fries which were soft and soggy.… 

    Can anyone tell me how good is this place vegan burgers?

    I heard their homemade patty is good. I did not like the way they cooked the Beyond Burger though.

    I had a day off from work today and I had this place on my radar. I heard about a special promo…read morethey are running until the end of this week for free fries, so what perfect time to give it a try. I came at opening, so I didn't have to wait in line. I ordered via the Kiosk, but the fries had me scan a QR code and answer some questions. After that, I waited for about 10 ish minutes before I got my food. The ladies were very nice and helpful, and they took care into preparing my food. Garden Burger: I enjoy the impossible meat when I can and this burger was huge. Besides the patty, I also got avocado, the other standard fixings and a fried eggplant. They also had mayo and bbq sauce as my spread. I don't know how, but I was able to eat the whole thing in one setting. It was juicy (as juicy an impossible burger can be) and delicious. The sauce held everything together and the extra spicy mayo I used for dipping brought the extra heat I needed. Overall, a delicious burger. Bulgogi Fries: This was complementary due to their promo and this was a huge portion. They made the bulgogi meat fresh to order and the same with my fries. Their plating was phenomenal. Overall, the fries were crispy and the sauce and meat were delicious. Overall, I can see myself coming here again. I should try a normal burger or I can try their chicken burger next time.

    I ordered the original burger and fries. Very tasty. Prices are average. Portion size was just…read moreright for me, but if you have a big appetite, this might be too small for you and you'll need to order more. Plenty of parking next to the park. This area has homeless, but it's fine during the day. The only issue I have with this place is the interior design and lighting. It's stale and unattractive with office lighting and horrible off-white colors. If they changed the aesthetic inside and make it more like an old-school burger joint, they would get a lot more business.

    BEST IN CLASS BURGER JOINT! It checks all the best boxes. GRASS FED BEEF! FRIES FRIED IN TALLOW! NO…read moretoxic, inflammatory SEED OILS! Plus their service is amazing! Shakes are fantastic! Even their onion rings are fried in tallow.

    This chain restaurant is trying new things, and it doesn't make it a better experience for me…read more Firstly as someone who doesn't eat red meat, I can no longer eat their fries or onion rings since they're fried in beef fat (they call it tallow). I usually order the cod sandwich, and they assured me that it's not cooked in tallow, actually they said it's cooked in olive oil which I'm not sure is correct, but at any rate I didn't taste any beef fat and it was delicious. Also, I have enjoyed their shakes made with cashew milk in the past, but now they use something different, and they still taste pretty good. What the employees on duty told me conflicts with the website, but they said this location uses Oatley oat milk, and they actually showed me the carton to prove it. Now for the service, the man taking my order seemed new as he didn't know much, but was able to answer my questions by asking the manager on duty, which I appreciated. Also he got my shake order wrong but apologized multiple times and got me the correct one. Since I couldn't order fries or onion rings I wanted a side salad, but unfortunately they were out of it! So a questionable experience overall, and I may choose to dine somewhere different next time as there are many restaurants in this strip-mall location, plus Whole Foods across the street. As far as ambiance, they have ample indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio with music, which is partly sunshine, partly shade, and of course popular with dogs and their owners.
