Elevation Burger serves up truly clean, apparently ethically-raised food. For me, that alone earns 5 stars, because it's a big deal that this company has chosen to go a really difficult and expensive route to serve fast, clean food.
The Elevation Burger burger (double meat & real cheddar cheese) was hearty and very yummy. The beef patties are about a half-inch thick, very juicy, and thankfully not doused in salt. They are actually slightly under-seasoned, but since most of the competing alternatives are usually pink-slimed salt bombs, I'm happy to season it to my taste.
It's a messy burger and every bite was delicious. I only had the burger but the fries looked really good. I went there one other time and ordered the Elevation Burger protein-style (lettuce-wrapped instead of a bun) -- I would *not* recommend doing that (it's a hot, wet, juicy, greasy mess) unless you're using a knife and fork.
The staff members are extremely enthusiastic but it's understandable. Unfortunately, as someone else noted, the practice of yelling out customers' names as their orders come up is somewhat awkward and unnerving, and should be discontinued, please.
I try to eat burgers only very occasionally so I don't blimp out, but if I'm going to have a fast-food burger I'll definitely be having it at Elevation.
