    This place was amazing, esp. because I'm always on the prowl for items on the menu that have fried chik'n. The women who took my order was very sweet and graciously explained all the items on the menu. I was craving something spicy and went with the fire chik'n sandwich. Also tried their chili cheeze fries. Everything was amazing, esp. the spicy sauce on the sandwich. I see that Next Level has a chain of other restaurants that specialize in vegan meals, and I am super excited to try different varieties.

    I love this place! A great plant based burger joint with so many options to choose from especially so many gluten free options. Their special sauce is amazing and yummy shakes! What more can I say, this vegan is beyond satisfied with NLB :). I eat here at least once every other week. It's a staple for sure and I love the amazing deals they tend to have too!

    I normally like the burger here. Today was the first time I ordered a Cesar salad and was quite a disappointing experience. The salad was supposed to come with kale, but it came with mix green and some baby kale that was already old and yellowed... just really poor quality and lack of vibrant energy to compare with Veggie Grill's Cesar salad. I had their Caesar salad just a few days before, and I really loved it so I thought I'll come to next level burger to order the same thing. Certainly, the quality is very poor here to compare with veggie grill. The company is under the same management. Hopefully they will notice the quality control in this location and make it better.

    Next Level Burger is a plant-based paradise! Was warmly welcomed by the staff and walked through the menu. It is a fun / bright welcoming vibe with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The diverse menu, especially the variety of sandwiches, left me spoiled for choice. After going back and forth on the many different burger options, I landed on the Beyond Fire Burger. It was a flavor explosion, and the fact that it's made with organic ingredients was a bonus. The sweet potato fries were the perfect crunchy side, and the organic vanilla milkshake was a wonderful sweet treat. Can't wait for my next vegan adventure!!

    Happy Burger Week 2022!

    I am fan of Next Level Burger. They manage to take all of the flavor of fast food and make it slightly better for the planet. (If not for our health... Actually, it's a little better for our health! They publish nutrition info and burgers range from 400 to 1200 calories. Their ingredients are organic and non-GMO too. I digress.) They're 100% plant-based, but you wouldn't be able to tell if you didn't already know. Unfortunately, doing fast food plant-based means the prices can't be the same as your typical burger chain. Burgers range from $8.85 and up. I'm so excited for the day plant-based materials cost less to manufacture! I stopped by this particular location during Burger Week 2022, and while their special wasn't my favorite, in general their burgers and shakes and fries have never been a miss for me. Staff was as friendly as ever, and the small L-shared interior provided a handful of seating options. There is a small parking lot at this location and it can fill up. Street parking also an option.

    I love NLB. I've been a fan since their opening on Hawthorne many years ago and they have stayed consistent if not gotten better over the years. I always get their cheeseburger w/ pepper Jack cheese and honestly even as a meat eater, this burger is one of my favorites. This time we tried the buffalo chicken sandwich & their fish sandwich. Both were so damn good... a must is always their onion rings, fries and one of their shakes too. The place is always clean and staff always very kind. I don't live down the street anymore but I'm happy to see them opening more locations around Portland would make the trek for one of my favorite vegan burgers either way. Whether you eat meat or not, you'll love next level burger.

    Their entry in Portland Mercury's 2022 Burger Week was excellent. Do know I'm partial to flatter type burgers rather than towering monstrosities that are difficult to eat. The coconut and soy milk combo shake was also quite good. Unfortunately, I can't get on board with their tots and fries.

    Had the strawberry seasonal shake.
    Sandra L.

    Absolutely amazing burger joint and plant based. The menu has great staple items and always rotating seasonal shakes and rotating burgers. The may special had Just Egg as a monthly special. Sooo good. Highly recommend the best vegan burger joint to eat at.

    Ask the Community - Next Level Veggie Grill

    Are the gluten-free burger and hot dog buns also vegan?

    We are 100% plant-based!

    Do they have regular burgers for people who are not vegan or gluten free?

    They do not! But my non vegan fiancé and friends really love it.

    Where can I find the ingredients of your plant-based "burgers" and sauces?

    Thanks for reaching out. We generally don't give a full list of ingredients unless there is a specific allergy involved and we can always do our best to accommodate that.

    This is a stunning burger…read more I have come here an embarrassing amount of times since moving back to Portland. The first time I came alone, just a little hungry and a lot broke. So I got the $6 little pleasure burger. A simple, single patty smash burger. It's everything a McDonald's burger wishes it could be - beefy and drippy, a squishy, slightly sweet bun, oozing hot grease without being heavy, lacy and crisp edges, and held together with the right amount of American cheese. It was the perfect amount for that day. Then I returned with my date. Twice. And he brought his coworkers for lunch because he liked it so much. I have had the western and the mushroom burger since, as well as the parm and chive waffle fries. They have nuggets and I'm inclined to believe they're great. The staff is great, it's a small team and they're all there every single day. They care about their product and your experience. The space is a simple counter, not good for large groups. It should be noted that even though their burgers would be great with a beer, they don't seem to have a liquor license! So don't expect an IPA with that shroom burger. Maybe someday!

IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice.
