We have wanted to try Level Up for a while now - such a fun concept! I'd say my favorite part is that the games are free to play, so no need to allocate quarters or anything like that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are 2 tables with gaming setups and a couple of mini-arcade games (Pac Man and an NBA game), plus lots of nifty decor and posters.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was very friendly and quick! Put food came out in a very reasonable amount of time and all items were correct. Note: they do NOT have a kids menu, so if you're looking to save some money, you can order their regular cheeseburger for $8 and split a fry and drink with your little(s), since the portions are pretty generous. I had the mushroom burger because it was the daily special. To be honest, it was pretty bland - it doesn't seem they season the meat and there was no sauce. I added a couple of my onions rings to the burger and it gave it a lot more flavor, so that was great. My 7 year old had the regular cheeseburger and fries and loved it. My husband had the blue cheese burger and said it was "pretty good" ... we both agreed that some Johnny's seasoning salt on the patty's would go a long way for flavor. We will likely return for the service and ambiance - I'll probably stick to the chicken strips next time, but it was a fun change of pace for taking out family out for a meal!! 3 burgers, 2 fries, 1 onion rings, and 3 refillable drinks = $43 read more

This cool little place reminded me of insert coin. If you haven't been it's a must. I ordered the garlic parm wings and an Order of onion rings. The onion rings alone let me know the food was going to be fire! The staff was lovely, greeted me coming in and leaving. Glad I stopped in for lunch. My friend got a burger and mozzarella sticks and smashed! So I will be back to try a burger that sourdough looks really good. read more

Came here after quite a few years. Used to be Herfy's but is now a video gamed themed spot. Menu is very similar, if not the same as Herfy's. Not sure that I would consider the burgers themselves a level up from anything. Seems like a lot of places are afraid to make a real burger anymore. Melt that cheese! A juicy, greasy, messy burger! These looked nice, but lacked any flavor, unfortunately. I wish there were some better burger spots in Lakewood, that's for sure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a low key spot to grab something quick--this works, but nothing sticks out to me to put it at the top of my list.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First off the burgers are fantastic. The garlic fries are even better then they have at the Safeco field. And the shakes are thick and yummy. Food came out super quick and was not expensive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This would have gotten a 5 star except for the whole games theme is cool except they only have two tables with the games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And they were both taken when we got there. We finally snagged one, and the controller was broken.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Turns out the games are just one of those temu emulators with a fake PS2 controller.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I personally don't have a problem with this, you're never gonna have access to all these old great games otherwise, however it is illegal. I understand the practicality of it, I just hope they don't get shut down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyway, I took one star off for the broken controller and the only two tables with games... Everything else was FANTASTIC[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The theme is cute with the murals painted on the wall and the decor from different video games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guy working the counter was extremely friendly and welcoming. The burgers were fine. My dad says his (BBQ Burger) was dry. Mine wasn't but could have used more seasoning. The fries and onion rings were hot and seasoned just right with just a sprinkling of salt. Overall it was a decent visit and I'd rather come here than the Red Robin across the parking lot. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I guess what reeled me in was the old school video game setup in here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can even play video games while eating your burger. Overall I like to set up, good customer service and the food was okay. I had ordered the bacon cheeseburger nothing too fancy, and with a side of fries. I would definitely come back and order something different. read more

Food was fast and service was great! The milkshake is a must try. You can ask for combination of flavor which is a plus. They have couple tables with video games and I can picture myself coming back with friends to play their video game and eat. -Greek Burger: my favorite. It comes with house made halal lamb patty. It's very juicy. Veggies were fresh and though it's very juicy it never got soggy the next 30min I ate. -Crispy chicken burger: crispy and good but after a bite of the Greek burger, it was nothing. Yep, I really liked the Greek burger at that point. -nutella and marshmallow milkshake: creamy and refreshing. A really great combination. -Oreo: this was good as well. I'd recommend doing some combination if you're good at it. read more

First visit here, found via maps restaurant search. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice clean, video game themed based decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kind helpful gentlemen took our order. Ordered a greek burger and a regular cheese burger, with fries and onion rings. Portions are very generous, plenty of fry sauce. Every thing was cooked perfectly to my tastes. I will definitely be back to try other selections on the menu. Well done Level Up guys, you live up to the name read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dirty tables seem to be the norm. I saw them clean one table the whole time we were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If I wanted to sit at a table with crumbs and ketchup dried to it, I'd stay home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] People get up to leave and the staff just stands around. Not sure how they earned the high food safety rating. Food was ok but lamb burger patty was a bit thin. Shake was very thick and water was free. read more

Very satisfying burger for the price! I got the California Burger and Onion Rings. Easy to order in the yelp app (processed thru Grubhub) and it was hot and ready for pickup when I arrived. Burger: Not smooshed. Good size. Tons of avocado which I LOVE. Bacon was buried in there somewhere but doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. Veggies not wilted. It's a yellow bun! I have been hard pressed to find a place that still uses yellow buns. Onion rings: battered and fried amazing flavor bombs. I especially appreciate that the onion itself breaks when you bite into the ring, vs those where one bite pulls out the whole onion and you're left with breading. Comes with fry sauce, yum! read more

First time in, and I wanted something quick in the area and found level up. We had a party of 5 and the food didn't take too long. Chicken tenders were crispy, and the fries didn't disappoint. I'm definitely going back again. Oh, and the milkshakes are amazing. read more

Amazing food very friendly staff. Sit and play video games while you wait. Definitely best burger joint around the Tacoma Lakewood area

This business replaced herfy burgers at lake wood town center. The menu still maintains some of the favorite items that herfy had. I loved the Cajun Burger from Herfy's so I tried that as a comparison between the two. The burger was prepared well, it's not as good as the one herfy burgers did but still a good burger. Fries served with a side of fry sauce were great. The service was friendly and prompt, they don't have a sign up above the restaurant yet but the door has a logo on it and the inside is decorated with video game themed art work. Over all I'm sad to see herfy burger go but this spot is still a good place for lunch. I ordered a small fry, a burger, and a bottle of water which came to about 16$ with tip read more

Came here about a month ago. This was the first time I came to the restaurant since the name change. After reviewing the menu, I noticed they had a Greek Burger. I asked the waitress if it was popular/good. She said it was very popular and if I was a fan of Greek flavors, I'd enjoy it. So I ordered it. As I waited, I was excited to see they had a unique video game system that had 100+ games available to play. The restaurant was decked out with classic video game decorations. I got my burger which was very hot, and fresh. I took the first bite and thankfully I had the wrapping below the burger because it was extremely juicy and a little messy. Overall, it was very reminiscent to a gyro. I'd order it again when I go back. read more

Level Up Burgers - Greek Burger - Burgers Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

The price is high but the burger was so delicious. I had the Greek lamb burger. Shared it and it was juicy and amazing.

The gentleman at the counter took my order after barely acknowledging me. Turns out, he had no idea what they did and didn't have available. I ordered the halibut fish and chips, but all they had was cod. Couldn't refund my card, so gave me most of my cash back (not all). It wasn't worth the fight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is marginally clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think you can play video games at the tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Under new management/ownership.....Was told that they kept the patties and the sauce from the previous owners but everything else is the same, Looked on Yelp seen Level Up burgers and decided to give them a try.... Upon entering and asking I realized it was Herfys.... However I will give them credit the video game concept they thought up is pretty cool, you can play old video games while you wait/eat...... with any new establishment there will be growing pains....I personally think the patties are lacking seasoning, just a matter of opinion... give em a try... read more

This Herfys has changed to a Level Up Burgers. Now hear me out, they've kept the fry sauce and some burgers. However, they've changed out their fries. They're regular, which quick to get soggy. They've cut down on the menu, no more wraps. Still got handful of milkshakes and burgers though. New decor, arcade style. They're working on installing some TV's at the dining table for guests to play n eat! Really friendly people took it in early October. read more

First time trying Level Up Burgers and I was very impressed. I ordered a cheese burger and was pleasantly surprised to see it looked like it came straight out of a commercial. It was delicious and the toppings were plentiful and fresh! The service was fast and friendly! I accidentally left my purse at the table and one of the employees ran it out to me as I was getting into the car. Thank you for that! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The arcade theme was fun, and I know my kids will love it when I have the opportunity to bring them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be returning. This place beats Herfy's, no contest. read more

This place, hands down, has the best burger in Lakewood. Herfy's is long gone, and Level Up is here!! Quick service, fair prices, free video games, and really good food! The patties are very nicely seasoned, and the burger toppings are fresh! Ignore the bad reviews for the old place that was in the same spot, this is a new place and definitely worth your visit! read more

Who loves burgers? Who loves variety of options? Who loves great tasting, affordable food and wonderful customer service? I hope all of you do that are reading this review! Herfy's in Lakewood Towncenter has a huge variety of burgers from your basic cheeseburger to my favorite the peanut butter burger (sounds weird but it hits multiple flavor profiles!) to chicken burgers. Not feeling like burgers? Try the wraps, grilled sandwiches or the variety of seafood basket combinations (clams, shrimp, fish etc). Personally I love the cod/halibut and scallops...add some tarter sauce and boom seafood delight! There are multiple side options too. Fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, curly fries, fried mushrooms and jalapeño poppers. Don't forget the fry sauce, tarter sauce or ketchup for dunking. But the pièce de résistance...their milkshake! Oh yes this milkshake brings all the people to the yard! 20 base varieties! Yes I said 20! If you are a milkshake connoisseur, like me, you have found heaven! Mix in a second or third flavor (additional cost) and look out! Dessert is served! Most important, the customer service is awesome! Friendly and helpful, energetic and kind...family run and operated. Enjoy and eat up! read more

We got two burgers and chicken sandwich, all came out quick and hot. I personally had the spicy Chicken sandwich which lives up to its name has a really nice spicy kick with good quality chicken in the paty. Fry sauce is also some of the best I've ever had. Don't be afraid to play some Mario while you're waiting aswell! read more

Lady gives me a dirty look and says her:"bathroom for customer only" Me:"I am a customer, I'm about order burgers for the whole family." Me:"I really need to use the bathroom!" Her: bathroom for customer only you have to order first! Me: I really really need to use it and as you can see two people are right in front of me. May I use the bathroom while they order. Then it will be my turn. She gives me a super dirty look BATHROOM FOR PAYING CUSTOMER ONLY! Me: are you serious??? Guy in front of me: come on let her use the bathroom Her: Bathroom for customers only... ME: WELL YOU LOST A CUSTOMER NOW!!! ILL NEVER COME BACK!! AND WE LOVE THIS PLACE guy in front of me: You lost me after this that's ridiculous! Customer in front of him is also shaking his head. NEVER AGAIN...

I don't even know where to start. I'm sorry, but this was bad. Like... Gordon Ramsey comes into your restaurant to see what the heck is going on bad. Fries INCREDIBLY over seasoned. I tried one on the way home and it was so so so so over seasoned, I couldn't believe it. I had to cleanse my mouth of the taste. Burger was so underwhelming. The patty looked like it came from a Costco package AT BEST. Cheap bun. Nothing original about the food. Service was great, the theme of the place was cool, but the food was so bad. Sorry guys. read more

Yummy...delicious... I look forward to the bacon cheese burger every time I have it. It is a treat worth the calories! read more

Doesn't seem like anything special at first but this small town local restaurant is dope! There's so many different types of burgers to choose from and they have a bunch of shakes too! The fries were extra crispy, just how I like them! The workers were nice, the prices were average, and the service was quick. I got the California burger but replaced the house sauce for the spicy house sauce and that shit was on point fam! It was delicious, I'm definitely coming back to ear more burgers here! Side note: the fries do not come with the burgers so don't forget to order them separate. It's cheap af anyways tho so it's all good. What's even better is that it is located right next to a Cold Stone Creamery so you don't have to travel far for dessert if you aren't already super stuffed from eating here. read more

My experience left me extremely dissatisfied. The level of service, particularly from the owner was abysmal. I was met with an unwelcoming atmosphere, the owner was behind the counter didnt bother to acknowledge my presence or greet me with a simple "hello". Lack of courtesy. When I politely requested some extra sauce for my order, her reaction was nothing short of appalling even though I'm willing to pay extra for the sauce. Her face looked like I'm annoying her. Very unfriendly service, unresponsive staff, and an unapproachable owner, lack of professionalism. This had happened multiple times, will not come back here again. Don't recommend! read more

One of the best burger places I've been to All I can say about this establishment is wow. They have a multitude of items to choose from. Their menu is very unique. Ranging from burgers, wraps, milkshakes, etc. Their fries are beautiful. Sometimes I just want to get the fries instead of the burger! The staff is very friendly and the area is very calm and collected. The will get the orders out relatively fast and they'll even bring it to you! I would recommend anyone to go here and order off their menu. You will not be disappointed! read more

Decided to try this place again today 10-2021. My review remains about the same. Customer service is lacking, not sure if it's a language barrier but it's almost as if the customers are irritating the employees. Shake still basic, fries still frozen. This time I was not happy with my burger at all. Ordered the cream cheese burger. It was dry and tasteless with a ton of cream cheese & avocado. With other burger places nearby, I think I'd rather visit those locations instead of returning here. Cream cheese burger, small fry, Oreo shake came to $17+change. read more

Highly recommend staff is amazing friendly and helpful food and portions are fantastic. We will be back.

I've had this place on my bucket list for a while now! Finally tried it and totally bummed I waited this LONG!! It's located in Lakewood Town Center so there is plenty of parking! Always a plus! As I walked in, we had about 2 people in front of us, but there is a menu on the counter so you already know what you want when get to the register! There is about 8 tables, it's kinda small inside, a bit antiquated, the decor is framed posters of written compliments from their customers, I had fun reading all the comments next to our table. They don't offer free water like most places. So be prepared to buy something to drink. There is a fountain drink area, and a cooler filled with a decent selection of drinks and they make Shakes! I did notice that they received a lot of calls for pick-ups! Watched about 6 people walk in and pick up their order in the 20 minutes we were there. Another Plus! Customer Service is Friendly and courteous. Now to the food! Bacon cheese burgers, jalapeño poppers, onion rings, curly fries and chocolate shakes were our choice! The Bacon in the cheese burger steals the show! Thick and delicious and the burger is flamed grilled medium well ( I prefer medium/rare) but overall a solid burger! Poppers & Onion rings were good but those curly fries were out of this world delicious! I already want more! The chocolate shake was also very delicious and it stayed THICK, didn't get all watery. Super yummy! What I liked Best is the PRICE!!! $3.99 for a regular hamburger and it's big!!! Bacon cheeseburger for $5.29 Wow right? Cheap eats! Also, they advertise about 25plus burgers, I'll be sure to try the Peanut Burger on my next visit, because I'll be back! Overall a great little hamburger place! read more

The place is small with a t.v. hidden in the back. I ordered a Western Burger and since it was empty, it was ready 5 minutes later. The bun was soft but the patty was burnt and falling apart. The bacon was very thin and the onion rings were scarce. The best part of the burger was the barbecue sauce they put on it. It is better than Carls' Jr which is a minute walk, but not as good as 5 guys, which is a 5 minute walk. Probably never go back there again with so many different burger joints around. read more
