Elevation Burger

CLOSED!!!
They closed this location!!!
So disappointed! Was so excited to eat here while traveling from the PA TURNPIKE:/ This location is not a pack and ship store. Elevation Burger is delicious! Totally disappointed

It’s out of business, but I can understand why. $ 13-​$ 15 for a fast food burger, fries, and a soda was a bit silly even if the food was pretty good in my opinion. Also the location was horrible, no visibility, unless you knew it was there you’d never notice it. I went many times for lunch during the week and there were never more than 3 – 4 customers in the place.

Came with the family Sunday Night 1.3.15 at 6:30 for dinner and place is dark and closed up tight-​Three other cars drove up to the door when we were there… website and Facebook says they are open until 8… so does the sign on the door– oh wait-​website says they are open 11AM –8AM??? So Outback got our business that night. So disappointed-​been looking forward to checking this place out for awhile…

First time here and wasn’t really impressed. $ 17 for a mediocre burger, crappy «fancy» fries, and a drink.

Fuck you elevation burger fuck you and your prices !!! An 8 dollar crappy burger shove it up your ass!!!
I am giving this one star and my meal didn’t arrive yet. Know why? Small coke, fries and a burger and my bill is 14 dollars!!! Are they out of their fucking minds?
For that price I will go get a steak or something better at a restaurant. I can eat at carrabas for that.
Update. Nothing great here!!! I got fleeced!!! Go to panera it’s much cheaper what a fucking ripoff this place is. Hope they go out of business but there are plenty of stupid people to buy a 14 dollar burger meal. I can still buy a better burger meal in NYC for under 10 bucks! Fuck elevation!

I dunno’. The burger was okay, I guess. The food is priced on the high end of the range for counter order. Five Guys offerings are tastier, and less … pretentious.
We stopped by mid-​afternoon. Not a lot of traffic … or at least, most seemed to be ordering take-​out. My first gripe — inventory issues. Drinks are dispensed from one of those touch screen, Coca Cola machines which have become so popular (… and I still order a plain-​old, Diet Coke … or maybe a Coke Zero, to mix it up). However, my friend cycled through choices and kept running into sold-​out flavors. They were short on a couple of other things, too, that it seemed like should’ve been standard.
It felt like they were tired. Maybe it was the time of day. Maybe it had been a crazy lunch rush. I dunno’. But, there are too many burger options, and at the higher end prices, I’m less patient with the experience proffered.

Great Burgers I am guilty :/​I had two of there cheese burgers and large fries you can actually share its a great place to grab a quick bite two thumbs up.

As much as the fact remains that you are dining in a typical burger and fries joint, Elevation Burger is a cross between that and a nice café. Very clean and friendly facility. The menu is simple, organic with no additives and you can order milkshakes! Something I wish Five Guys would always do…
There are two vegetarian options, the vegetarian burger comes with cheese and the vegan one is without but it’s the same patty which isn’t that bad. Fries are shoestring cut but I don’t get what’s so fancy about the fancy fries that are just plain, cheese fries? Oh, well. You cannot always order cheese fries at most burger joints so when you do, why not be fancy?
Nice to see some vegetarian options at a burger joint. The burgers, if I ate them, do look very good though I must admit.

Decent although not exceptional burgers. Svc. slow and WAY overpriced for this area.
That’s why it’s usually empty. Doubt they’ll survive, since they really don’t have a very good value proposition.

Ok, the flavor was pretty good but someone really needs to take these folks to Philly and introduce them to a real roll. The shakes are good, pretty intense chocolate and of course real ice cream. Service was friendly and it was pretty clean. I’d say it was a solid $ 20 experience. The problem is it was more like 33.
All things considered a little good a little bad. That makes it a 3.

If the meat is so wonderful, so organic, so pure, then why do they refuse to serve it rare? The fries and the milkshake were not memorable, and the burger was overdone. Burgers at Wert’s are infinitely better, so I have no reason to return.

I am very picky about burgers and have tried them at hundreds of restaurants. I was searching for the best burgers in PA and came across this place. I had never heard of it before. I was impressed with the ingredients for their food. The burgers are good. The fries are really good too. They serve coke products (a plus for me). The best comparison would be Five Guys. Elevation and Five Guys both have tasty burgers and fries, but Elevation wins when it comes to the ingredients and their green philosophy. I recommend giving this place a go.

Hard to write a review from only one quick experience, but I was generally underwhelmed. I actually have one of these near me but have never tried it. But, as we were leaving Allentown the other weekend, we stopped here for a quick lunch before we got on the road. This place was very crowded at lunchtime so obviously they are popular. I got the kid’s burger and shared fries with my fiancé. My burger was the right size for me and it was good. It was definitely better than a fast food burger but it was far from the best i’ve had. The fries were unimpressive, thin, and a little soggy. They had a lot of other menu options too. Service was fast and the place was clean. I thought the prices were fair. My favorite thing here was that they had one of those newer digital soda fountains with like 100 different options. I got a strawberry lemonade and it was delicious. Three Unilocal

The place is clean.
And it has one of those digital soda fountains that gives you about 75 groovy choices of drinks, including about 15 options for «water», so you’re not even really breaking the rules if – as was the case for me – I tried unsuccessfully to find tap water, and came out with Dasani lemon-​lime sparkling.
But beyond that? Hmmph. Granted, I didn’t get the signature burger ’cause burgers aren’t my style, but the grilled chicken on a whole wheat bun is the same price as the standard burger, so the experiential gestalt should be the same, right?
$ 6.50 for a product about the size of a McDonald’s burger, with no sides. The bun disintegrated from the toppings, only a few of which were distinct. And the chicken itself tasted like it had sat 10 minutes too long on a George Foreman Grill. Do they even sell those things anymore? Did someone donate their surplus inventory of George Foremans to Elevation Burger so it could make a killing?
Nothing to see here folks. Normally cleanliness might be enough for me to push something up to two stars, but I felt so colossally ripped off by this demi-​meal that I’ll have to be frank: Elevation is the pits. Pun fully intended.

Way, way, way over priced. A burger and fries shouldn’t cost $ 15 from a fast food joint. Burgers taste ok. Nothing special. Not worth the money. Are the cows eating gold?! Will not go back.

Went here on Saturday night first thank you Unilocal,never would have found it without you folks. Elevation is located in the ’ Giant ’ shopping center tucked in a corner. Now these Burgers are BETTER then five guys and Jake’s. Organic fresh beef make this place. The price is on average with your other upscale Burger joints. The taste takes me back to some of the old school burger joints of my youth in North Jersey and they ARE juicy. YUMM! Fries could be better, Shakes are real, but I was here for the burgers, and I’ll be back!

My husband and I stop by often, the burgers and the shakes are beyond Ahhhmazing! Definitely a place to check out and stop by often!

My friend took me to her sisters and then after we wanted to eat something so came to elevate burger. Wow definitely good burger like haven. The meet melts in your mouth chess amazing. I’m definitely recommending .the organic cookies. Definitely coming back when I’m Allentown.

EAT THERE NOW.
Organic, grassfed beef + fries cooked in olive oil= fast food with a conscience.
Sure, it may cost a couple of bucks more than McDonald’s, but really? Your body’s not worth the extra ~$ 2 or time required for a freshly cooked burger?
Grass fed beef contains CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) which your body cannot manufacture nor can it be found in the ubiquitous grain-​fed beef.
Studies have shown CLA helps ward off cancer and heart disease. Body builders take supplements of it to reduce body fat. Google all of CLAs benefits.
Grass-​fed beef is tough to find in normal grocery stores, plus you’ll pay a premium price for it. The fact that you can get it at a FAST FOOD establishment is amazing.
Trust me, if you’re going to eat a burger, invest the minimal extra $$ in your health and choose this place over McD, BK, 5Guys or basically any other joint that sells non grassfed burgers. Your body will thank you.

I was here for lunch today. The place was completely deserted, which threw me off a little bit, but I honestly don’t see why — the food was fantastic!
I ordered the kids’ burger (one patty) with mushrooms, lettuce and caramelized onion. My dad had the elevation burger with cheese, mushroom, lettuce, tomato, and raw onion; my little brother also had the elevation burger, with just lettuce. The ingredients were fresh and the burgers were tender and juicy.
The huge serving of fries (look for a coupon in last month’s Clipper magazine for free fries) was cut really thin, which led me to believe that they’d be super crunchy (the way I like my fries), but, sadly, they were a little soggy. Also, there didn’t appear to be any sauce options for the fries other than the ketchup bottle that was sitting at every table.
Overall, I would probably go back — especially because, after today, I’m ⁵⁄₇ of the way to a free burger! You only need to buy seven patties to get one for free.
