Its great to have a huge verity of vegetarian options that are quick without feeling too much like fast food. I ended up getting the salmon with mango salsa, onion rings and corn with a peanutbutter milkshake. My wife ended up getting the Steak with chimichuri sauce, potatoes, and pickled salad with a oreo milkshake. The supprising winners were the corn, pickeled salad, and peanutbutter milkshake. The corn had great grilled flavor and texture. The pickeled salad was really refreshing with the right amount of vinaigrette. And the peanutbutter milkshake was loaded with peanuts and I really liked the consistant texture of that which goes well with the creamy shake. While the mains were good and nice representations of the meats they mimicked, I was expecting those to be the highlight so when the other ones were a bit better I was surprised. Another really nice addition is that the materials they use are all compostable. I hate having to consistently tell people that we dont need straws at other places so it is really nice not having to think about it. (The shakes would have been worse without some sort of straw so it is great they do compostable). The service was great as well. We were getting a lot and they were very understanding and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this place for vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. read more

I am not a vegan at all or a vegetarian. Next Level Veggie Grill was a reach for me to try out. The service was great and the man who was attending to everyone and taking orders was very nice. The restaurant was clean and there was a decent amount of seating. There was a lot of natural light due to the very large windows. There's also outdoor seating. The main attendant recommended the vegan hamburgers and said that they were the best thing on the menu. Me being me I chose the Beyond Steak Filet topped with chimichurri and two sides, onion rings because they were out of broccoli and seasoned potatoes. I also got a chocolate shake using coconut and soy milk. First off the food was lukewarm nothing on that plate was hot. Even the onion rings though well fried still wasn't up to par on the temperature. The beyond meat fillet had a decent taste but it was warm. The chimichurri saved it from the lack of warmth. The seasoned potatoes were not bad, but not seasoned to my liking. I did enjoy the onion rings. If I was a vegan and I had a choice I would rarely frequent Next Level Veggie Grill. read more

First time dining here and was impressed by the fully vegan options, kind (genuine) service and space! Walked in and was greeted and advised all options fully vegan. Took it Togo! Tried: * steakhouse burger - 4/5 * ghost pepper popper burger - 4/5 * crispy chicken plate - Cole slaw and carrots - felt these needed more flavor but yummy overall 3/5 * strawberry shake - 5/5 So delicious would come again! Didn't feel intimidated by the "vegan-ness" if that makes sense? Everything was yummy! And shout out to the great service as well. read more

It seems fitting Next Level Veggie Grill is on the DU campus. And it opens late till 10pm! Has its own parking lot which helps a lot around campus. Came in at around 8:30pm on a Sunday night. The main dining hall wasn't too full - they must have gotten a lot of call-in orders continuously as the kitchen sounded busy and bustling. Staff kept apologizing for the wait but it wasn't too bad: ~20 min. First item to come out was the Oange Cream Soy Milk Shake which was surprisingly tasty, and very cold so we could only take a small spoonful at at time. I secretly renamed it to the Orange Creamsicle Soy Milkshake. Even though it was a small shake, it's very thick and substantial. We saved half of it and later used it as a dip for the fries. But actually the ketchup they brought out was also excellent. Unlike next door's (Birdcall's ketchup is too healthy to be tasty!) I had to try the Beyond Beef plate. It was impressive, the "steak" even had a bit of "fond" and "jus". It tasted awesome with a green sauce that's my favorite kind of garlicky. Hubby opted for the Steak Asada burrito. He inhaled it so quickly I didn't have a chance to try! I bet if I didn't tell him this is a vegan place, he would not have noticed the meat was plant based! Don't make the same mistake as me: eat here early as the food is hearty and bound to fill you up! read more

My American Classic Cheese Burger with a side of French Fries arrived warm. The lettuce and tomato slices were refreshingly cool and crisp in delightful contrast to the bun, burger and cheese. The fries were hot and perfectly crisp. Our server was exceptionally knowledgeable regarding the offerings on the menu. She suggested alternatives and options that were alternatives. The 60's and 70's music fit well with the roots of a growing environmentally conscious society of that time. The decor was colorful, yet simple in design. read more

Solid vegan restaurant in the University neighborhood. We tried a few meals on a recent day. We had a taco salad which came in a massive tortilla bowl and one of their bowls. The tortilla for the taco salad was super greasy but otherwise tasty and crispy. Mainly lettuce in the salad with vegan cheese which had an off-putting texture. We ordered fries which were superb We also order a bowl which had "walnut meat" as the cashier described the filling. It was OK overall but the sweet potatoes had different pieces that were cooked to different stages. The facility was clean overall and the staff was friendly. I appreciate that there are vegan dedicated restaurants in Denver but I was not overly impressed with the food preparation. read more

My visit yesterday went very well because the service the food and the atmosphere all hit just right. I had had a chance to look over the menu before coming in, but the gentleman behind the counter was more than happy to give me some good suggestions. I ended up choosing the protein bowl with tofu. The look and taste of this was well above my expectations. The vegetables were cut and presented beautifully; the flavors were super flavorful. I almost could've drank the sauce that was on this, but I ended up asking for a side of ghost pepper ranch, which almost made me weep. I also had the peanut butter cup shake with soy. I would recommend anybody that likes peanut butter cups to come try this! The gentleman behind the counter recommended this and said that this was his favorite and I can totally understand why, now. The ambience is bright and the restaurant was clean. When you walk in there are two order kiosks; there is also seating outside. read more

Im very impressed! This is my first time dining at a vegan restaurant and the salmon genuinely confused me for a moment! The chimmichurri sauce was AMAZING...can I take a bucket of that home please? The fries DARE I SAY were some of the best I've had in Denver and the seasoning on them and the ranch were to die for. The cucumber salad was refreshing and had the perfect amount of acidity. The service was great. While this is a order at the counter then sit down spot, we still had our food, cutlery and drinks brought out to us and the person working the register was ON IT with recommendations and was incredibly nice. Last but mostly definitely not least...do yourself a favor and grab a shake. 10/10 would get a shake here again, it was creamy and rich and up there with some of my favorite whole milk shakes. Really a great spot! read more

We walked in and greeted with a smile from the cashier/server. She was more than happy to help us with suggestions from the menu. I chose the Cali Tempeh Power bowl while my partner had the American Chzburger with a side order of fries. We both drank the mint chocolate chip shakes (half soy milk and half coconut milk) which were smooth and refreshing. The place was small but had plenty of seating both inside and outside. The decor was cheerful and youthful (in the University of Denver neighborhood). We parked in the limited parking lot besides their building but there's also street parking. The meal was a pleasant experience. read more

I am a girl that likes to sit at a table, read a menu and place my order. When I went to Next Level Veggie Grill, I found out that I can be flexible. Sit at the table check out the menu, then walk up to the counter and place my order. It's next level vegetarian food that will make you return for more time and time again! This is a restaurant that serves organic food, cares about the environment with the packaging they use and has a clean, healthy menu and kind staff. Order at the counter they give you a number and will bring the food to your table. I had a snack/appetizer veggie spring rolls with peanut sauce. It was a big portion that was fresh and deliciousness! My table mates were overjoyed with their meals too. One had a burger that he said was, "the best vegetarian burger of his life!"Now that's a compliment! Fries and roasted carrots are both amazing! Indoor and outdoor seating, free parking and colorful, bright interior and some art work on the exterior of the of the building so you won't miss the location! read more

AMAZING VEGAN FOOD!!!!! Whatever you get it will fill you up! They have a variety from vegan entrees to burgers to tacos, all so amazing. They have milkshakes made with coconut milk or soy milk or a mix of both. The food is so filling and delicious, tastes like the real deal. I got the kimchi steak bowl and it tasted like flavored and tender steaks. The baja tacos were delicious and the tortilla was crunchy and full of flavor. There's seating inside and outside if you would like. You go up to the counter and order and they bring out the food for you. Tell all your vegan friends!! read more

Wow!!!! I am so shocked at how good this place is. I got the Beyond Steak Filet Bowl with chimichurri sauce, Sweetheart fries (sweet potatoes), and jalapeño corn. It was so delicious. I was a little caught off guard by the steak since it was made with vegetables, but it was very tasty. I really loved the fries, they were cooked to perfection. Luckily, they also have a parking lot. The space is huge and has outdoor seating as well. The staff was so friendly, very helpful, and attentive. read more

Wow wow wow! We came here a few years ago when all they served were burgers and boy have they redeemed themselves! Their menu is EXTENSIVE without diminishing quality or novelty. We got the Thai bowl with sesame "chicken" and one of the burgers. The "meats" were actually super tasty. What stood out most was the shake though... to be vegan and yet so delicious. Already looking forward to going back to try other things! read more

This was my first time at this great fast casual Grill near DU. They have a great menu of both Veggie and meat options. Salads, burgers, burritos, bowl plus fries and shakes. I had their steak burrito which was a very large portion with steak and guacamole, very tasty. I also had their cookie dough milkshake. It was very nice, not my favorite since it had soy milk a funny taste for me. The staff is great. They have a very small parking lot attached.... drive carefully in there! I do recommend that you try this place. I'll be back, those sweet tater fries looked bomb! read more

This is such a great find for those who are vegan or wanting to just eat healthy! The establishment is very clean, modern and spacious with very helpful staff. They offer a wide variety of meals from salads, bowls and burgers. Ingredients are fresh, and portions are big. It shows that even something this healthy without animal based protein can keep you satisfied. The burgers here hit the spot! You'll be surprised it's not beef based! I had the American chz burger with fries. It has a smashed patty with Tempe based bacon and you have an option on what burger sauces to choose from. The fries are very typical of many places, but it was crispy and perfectly salted. The burger was delicious and filled me up. It has a strong beef flavor while the tempe provided a chewy texture. The Buddha brunch bowl was hefty and had notes of sweetness from the pumpkin, umami from the mushroom and seeds, and saltiness from the combination of flavors. It was the perfect meal to end our workout. The tempeh is hearty and texture was firm. This bowl was definitely not lacking in the flavor department. We will definitely be back! read more

As someone who used to be vegan (and vegetarian before that!), I've tried a lot of plant-based spots, and Veggie Grill was always a favorite when I visited California. So when I heard that Next Level Burger partnered with Veggie Grill to bring Next Level Veggie Grill to Denver, I knew I had to check it out even though I eat meat again now. And wow, they did not disappoint! What I ordered: - Banana Berry Smoothie - refreshing, fruity, and packed with superfoods - Crispy Cauliflower - light, crunchy, and perfect with dipping sauces - Truffle Mac & Cheese - rich, creamy, and topped with mushroom crisps & breadcrumbs (a must-order) - Fried Cheese Bites - golden, crispy, and so satisfying - Buffalo Bomber - my old favorite, still just as good as I remembered! Favorites: The Buffalo Bomber is still a winner after all these years, and the Truffle Mac & Cheese was insanely good. Crispy cauliflower also hit the spot. Honestly, whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or a meat eater, this place is worth it. You'll walk away happy (and probably surprised that everything is 100% plant-based). read more

They had some really great options. Definitely something to hit everybody's appetite. I will say it does take a minute or two till you place an order and get your food. That's probably because of short staff, but overall a clean atmosphere with delicious food. read more

When you first walk in, the place is busy (which is always a good sign), and everything seemed fairly clean. The employees were polite and very helpful. They had run out of cookies and cream milkshake, but that was okay. We ordered and the food was out in a matter of maybe 15 min. The dishes came out one by one instead of everyone's together. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of most of our entrees. I ordered the "steak" with chimichurri and jalapeño corn along with herb roasted potatoes. I also got a mint chocolate chip shake that was made with coconut ice cream. My daughter ordered the southwest salad, and my son basically got the same meal that I did except with carrots and fries. The steak was significantly smaller looking than the photo, but I was honestly glad not to have much more because it was filling. The flavor was decent on the steak, the texture was a bit soft--like the canned meat from those stews, but the chimichurri was very tasty and took it to a new level! The herb roasted potatoes were better than my son's fries. The fries had an odd chewiness to them, but good flavor. I also enjoyed my corn more than his carrots, but both were excellent. My daughter's salad was quite spicy! They also drowned the lettuce in too much dressing and it didn't fill up the bowl very well. I would probably just ask for extra lettuce if you decide to order that salad. The flavor of her salad was really good despite the spice level. Onto the milkshake--I don't recommend using coconut ice cream with the mint flavor. It just didn't go well and the vegan chocolate was quite hard and gritty. The textures were off for a milkshake. There are just some things that cows do better, and milkshakes are one of those things. The chocolate chunks in the shake were also too big to suck up through the straw--and they even gave me one of those jumbo straws that are used for boba. Overall, I definitely recommend this place, maybe skip the shakes, and plan for a pricier meal. read more

Was looking forward to try this place out as the food options looked delicious and included some healthy options. I ordered the Buffalo wrap for take out and it took longer than expected to prepare. Once it was ready, I checked my ordered and noticed a hair in the wrap- I let a worker know who was present and he kindly asked the staff to make another one. He wasn't working at the moment but he kindly checked in on me and offered me a free cookie- did not hear anything from the current staff afterwords just had me waiting once again (wait time about 30 minutes for just a wrap) The hair wasn't the problem but the food. I was recommended to order the wrap and by the time I got home the wrap had leaked through the bag into my car. You can't tell what's in the wrap because of how much Buffalo is in it that it overpowers all the other ingredients- I ate half of it cause I was hungry but threw the rest away because of how soggy it was. The wrap was recommended to me by the worker present as one of their best wraps so I cannot imagine what the other ones must be like. The prices are also very high- $15 for just the wrap with no sides. I unfortunately cannot recommend this place- can get your moneys worth somewhere else at that price read more

My first time at Next Level definitely won't be my last! Glenda has been there before and she has been encouraging me to visit. Walking in, the vibe felt very comfortable, the restaurant was spotlessly clean. The counter help walked me through some dining ideas, Glenda already knew what she was going to order. She got the Loaded Burrito made with walnuts and she was in heaven. They added a portion of ghost salsa and let me tell you, when I sampled the flavor, the salsa brought tears to my eyes. Wow! I got the Kimchi steak bowl and it was one of the best 'salads' I've had in many years. Filled with delicious greens, roasted and marinated carrots, avocado and their marinated meatless steak. The combo was a total winner, it was so large, brought half home and Glenda had lunch the next day. The sleeper of the meal was the Peanut Crushed Nut Coconut Shake. This was almost a meal unto itself. I asked Glenda if she'd like one, she declined, but was so over joyed by the shake's flavor, she basically shared mine and smiled. Next level is a winner and the experience will be repeated. Can't wait to try some of their sandwiches and other bowls and shakes. Very highly recommended! read more

Update: Sadly, this failed the repeat test. Ghost Peppers burger was bland, cold and poorly made, their housemade quinoa-mushroom patty was soggy and their truffle Mac and cheese was so inedible that we had to return it. Staff didn't know their own menu items which didn't help. We may give it a last shot and repeat our first order but maybe not because Illegal Burgers was amazing and never a miss so far read more

Very cool vibe to this place with the bright orange and white, clean and inviting. Restrooms were clean too. The place was well staffed. The guy behind the counter was very helpful and accommodating knowing it was my first time here. I ordered the spicy Chipotle Black Bean burger and chili cheese fries and two shakes: the organic orange cream and the peanut butter cup. The food was pretty good, although it could've been a little more flavorful. Burger was kinda smaller than I expected, but there was good quantity of the chili cheese fries. A little pricey and a tad lacking in portion, but what makes up for it is that they offer wholesome quality vegan food here. Would I come back? Yes I would like to see what else they have to offer especially with all they have on their menu. All in all it was a great experience and I would frequent this place again. read more

Really really good, fresh, fast, plentiful food! Excellent veggie and vegan offerings. Fun staff. We'll go back!

YUM!!! Had a hard time choosing everything looked so good! Ended up with the buffalo chicken sandwich - plussed up with tempeh bacon and subbed blue cheese (crumbles AND sauce) for the ranch, small side of fries, and a raspberry kombucha. Surprisingly, the sandwich wasn't super messy & didn't smoosh everything out the back when you take a bite. Not super buffalo spicy but a good tang to it. The slaw was nice. Helpful & quick service. Parking might be a little tight if you're in an SUV (also a rental) but there is parking. Plenty of seating inside. Would DEFINITELY go back! read more

Everything you see in the picture is $40. Two hamburgers (one classic at $8 and other American at $13) and a single large sweet potato fry ($10) is $31 before tax and tip. No drinks and I'm paying that much!? Absolutely crazy. But the food was delicious. I understand it was all organic and high quality, but for this price I could have gotten a lot more bang for my buck. The cashier was super kind!

Great menu- lots of options for vegans/vegetarians. We had the maverick veggie burger with tater tots, the chicken sandwich and the avocado cobb salad.

I really want to support Next Level and hate to write a negative review, but I hope the owners take my criticism to heart and consider making some changes and improving a much needed vegan outpost in Denver. Unfortunately, the choices for vegans in this city are few and far between and I thus find myself heading to Next Level on occasion. However, every time I go I feel somewhat foolish - spending $20+ (including tax but before tip) on a bowl of mostly rice, with a few broccoli pieces and a bit of protein, is simply not good value. The net result is that I only go if in the neighborhood and don't have time to run home and make a meal. If the prices were reasonable, and the bowls were not 50%+ rice, I would go multiple times a week. But as is, my trips are only once a month or so and I never end up feeling good about it. I realize the costs of running a restaurant are high, but leaving a customer feeling taken advantage of does not bode well for long term viability. read more

Im not vegan but my aunt is and she asked if we could go here for lunch so I was happy to try it. You order on a little kiosk, which was convenient. The food was a bit expensive but I know it's not normal fast food. It came out pretty quickly and everything was so good. I would have never known it's wasn't real meat. My burger did fall apart kind of easily but it was so good I didn't care! I'd definitely go back if I saw another location. read more
