The food has potential but this location and service is horrific. The lady at the counter was impatient, rude and u professional. She didn't want to be bothered doing her actual job and certainly didn't want to answer any questions. My fries were burnt, the cola had melted ice and must've sat out the entire time they were preparing the food. The entire order came out but my chicken sandwich was missing. So when i did get it i was greeted with a "i forgot it here" so it was cold when it was handed to me. Now i had to wait another 10 mins for my chicken sandwich but now my burnt fries were cold. Complete waste of time and horrible food, service. read more

I wasn't aware this location is inside a Whole Foods, but boy is it an awesome Whole Foods! Burger was good, a little small but good. The setup inside is like an open cafeteria space. We sat inside instead of outside because it's just too darn hot these days. read more

Lunch time meal with a small strawberries shake! The food was very good and tasty. I loved the chilli cheese fries. Now I did not add guacamole but I was charged $2.00 extra for it. Now that pushed my "lunch" cost for 1 person to $25.+ OK , to eat lunch everyday at this cost is expensive but I wanted to try the 3 items for my first visit. The shake was really good, considering I have not had a milk shake in over 25 years bcs I'm lactose intolerant. The burger was very well put together but needed more bbq or even more vegan blue cheese sauce and that's an upcharge as well. I will return and maybe just order less. Overall great food at a high cost considering I'm paying for quality. I'm still baffled why I paid for guac and didnt order and that's why I'm giving 4 stars! read more

I have been wanting to try a Next Level Burger for a while, and finally had a chance. It is located at in the Whole Foods on Lamar. You can order and pay at the kiosk, and they text you when your order is ready. I went for the single cheeseburger and a small order of crinkle fries. I only had to wait about 7-10 minutes, but that is what is great about being in Whole Foods. It's easy to kill time. The burger was really good. Honestly it tastes like beef to me. You can choose what condiments you want on it when you order. I also loved the crinkle fries. Not too salty and hot. I want to try the sweet potato fries next time. read more

Stopped by here whilst late-night shopping at Whole Foods. I can't do gluten or dairy so I was pretty enticed by the idea of a dairy free milkshake. I decided to just go for it. The cashier was super friendly and helpful. She took my order and let me know what could be done gluten free, as well as recommended the better milk to use in a shake (choice of soy or coconut). I ordered a chocolate shake and vegan kraut dog, and made it clear I wanted gluten free everything. After ordering, I went to check out my groceries then came back. She finished my shake and gave it to me, and let me know my food was almost ready. The shake was pretty dang good--definitely no replacement for a real, dairy-filled milkshake but not a bad compromise. I will for sure return for a shake. Then my food came and I went home with my takeout, as it was almost 10. Upon arriving at home, I found my vegan kraut dog to be on a regular bun :/ I have a gluten allergy so it was a big no. I tried to eat bites of parts not touching the bun but ended up feeling sick the next day anyway. The dog was okay but not worth the money without a bun, and definitely not worth the stomach unease the following day. Be careful to double check you get your food prepared properly. Nonetheless, it's a decent spot with good vegan shakes. read more

Next Level is possibly the best vegan burgers I've ever had. This is why I come to Austin. For 10/10 vegan food. Most places I've tried here are amazing. And it's so good when I get to try a new place that is equally amazing as the rest. But this place, surpassed even some of my favorites. We had the sauerkraut hotdog and the animal chicken burger? I think those are the names. And they were both so amazing!! Even the cheesecake milkshake was good. I was a little confused at first. I had no idea this place was inside of Whole Foods. I love that we order at a kiosk. I tend to forget to remove things when I talk to the cashier. And I like receiving texts when the order is ready. This place made my taste buds very happy. Definitely somewhere I plan on coming back to. read more

I was in Austin for work and was on the search for good vegan food. I eat vegan food a lot when I'm traveling, as it's easier on my stomach when you need to eat out every single day. I found this place on yelp and am SUPER glad I decided to check it out. Why you may ask? Well, not only because my vegan burger and sweet potato fries were out of this world good but because this location is inside of the flagship Whole Food's market... For a dork like me that loves grocery shopping, this Whole Food's location is a dream come true. It has like 6 restaurants inside and a coffee shop.. what! I ordered with next level burger via a tablet outside of the restaurant and just scanned the aisles as I waited for my food to be ready. I grabbed a Waterloo sparkling water and ate my delicious lunch outside. There was also a ton of indoor seating as well. Loved this spot. Will def. be back when I'm back in Austin! read more

So good, really glad they have the Beyond chicken strips! The sauces are great too. I got my food from here to-go and it was fresh and delicious. read more

Yassssssss veggie friendly for all. Honestly it's a special place. The chicken or chicken like food isn't wonderful but the fake beef is great read more

Nothing informs you that the place is inside the large Whole Foods Market. Even when you are right outside the market there is absolutely no obvious sign. This is a big negative as it meant we paid for the parking in a nearby street at the back than enjoy free parking at the market itself. The food itself was nice and didn't take long to be ready. I felt it lacked dips to flavour it, but I was so glad that it offers house made patties rather than commercially manufactured imitation meat ones. You order from kiosk and collect it, then find a table that is shared with other eating joints. I just wish it was easier to find. read more

I need a next level burger in Fort Worth like yesterday. I would eat here all the time if we had one here. All vegan burger spot was perfect for our vegan diet and the food did not disappoint. I really liked that the fries are baked not fried and the apple lemon ginger drink was amazing. It also works cause it's inside Whole Foods so I know the ingredients are fresh and true. Next Level when are you coming to Ft. Worth? I just need to know. read more

FANTASTIC vegan food FYINext Level Burger is located INSIDE of Whole Foods DO order the Crispy Chik'n Burger. Pro-tip add extra lemon-herb mayo on the side ads great flavor and avoids any dry bite! DO try the ~baked~ Organic Skin-On Sweet Potato Fries. And don't forget the best part - DESSERT! I've tried many flavors of their shakes. My favorite is the peanut caramel one I've found the Soy milk soft serve to be better than the coconut one for shakes. Lastly, DO plan on spending a little bit morehere as you'll be getting quality non GMO and organic food made with read more

Why Doesn't Yelp Allow Three and a Half Stars? Which is what Next Level Burger Is. * * * Next Level Burger is the freestanding veggie-burger restaurant inside the Whole Foods Mothership. You order alt burgers, alt fries and alt shakes on a computer screen. They prepare all the good stuff in a kitchen that seems microscopically small. But hey, it is a limited menu with repeat items - so they may not need that much room. I didn't luxuriate in the details of all the subtle differences in the make-up of the burger or the shake-mix. There are people who worry about that stuff and I am sure full nutritional information is available. I got a savory meaty patty topped with tempeh bacon, cheddar cheese, and egg-free mayo. I had them add mustard, ketchup and grilled onions to the production - which was an enormous mistake. The bun could barely hold the standard issue burger and trimmings. Adding two sauces and grilled onions made the sandwich an unholy mess. The extra sauces did not make things taste very much better either. I was able to get some unsauced raw ingredients as well as bites with the whole sauced-up combo. No taste thrills either way, simple or complicated. The burger was good for me. It was not unpleasant. The price was Yowie-Kazowie. (What do expect from a burger served at an institution called "Whole Paycheck?") * * * On the plus side, this being the Whole Foods Mothership at all - I was able to get side dishes for the Gods. I went to the Whole Foods salad bar and made myself the side salad of my dreams - and also of the dreams of a cardiologist and of the recipe writers at Moosewood. And the Peach Soda they serve at Next Level is pretty good. So I had a first rate salad, a first rate soda and a veggie burger that was not awful. There are worse sufferings in life. read more

This was by far one of my most favorite restaurants in the area! The vegan options were awesome. I ate here twice in one week because there was a variety of options to choose from. They were also quick. I highly recommend the Classic Chocolate Shake made with Coconut Ice Cream, the Garden Grilled Cheese and the Garden Dog. Honestly though I'm not sure if you could go wrong with any of it. If I'm back in the area I will definitely be stopping by! read more

I'm sorry to say but this food was so average and salty! I ordered the Cobb salad and i was just expecting it to be better.

OMGGGG my new favorite burger place!! I cant wait to go again! I had the SoCal burger, but swapped the it with a Beyond patty. I love that there is a place where I can have a burger made multiple ways. Most places have one veggie patty option. This place has so many plant based patty options I am excited to keep going back to see which one is my fav. I am surprised they don't have the impossible burger patty but the Beyond patty is just as good! I will say that if you are used to getting burgers from a real fast food place you may also be used to paying the cheap $2-$4 for a burger price. This place is pricier - but it does also include more. The SoCal burger included avocado and tempeh bacon along with the regular veggies that a normal burger may have. Because of that - I feel like the prices are fair. You pay cheap prices for a cheap burger - but this is a specialty burger joint so it is a little more pricey but still worth it! I would say a burger runs around $10 here. I have only been once but I want to go again to try their other patties and also their sides! Overall I really liked this place and will obviously go again! read more

I'm far from vegan, but this place really is next level! I have been here twice and have had great experiences so far. First I tried the Spicy Bean Burger. The patty is black bean based and comes with jalapeños and horseradish sauce. These three ingredients alone gave it a lot of flavor and was delicious! I also tried the SoCal burger which has a patty made of quinoa and chia seed. This one has their special sauce, tempeh bacon, and avocado. The unique thing about this one was the tempeh bacon which did a great job mimicking actual bacon! Both times I got a side of Organic Yukon Tater Tots which are some of the best I have had out there - due to no grease and having an authentic flavor mixed with some rich seasoning. Everything here is organic and uses natural flavors which is why they stand out. Ordering the food is seamless and easy. No need to talk to anyone - simply go up to the kiosk, place your order according to your preferences, and there you go! Highly satisfied with this establishment and will definitely be back! read more

This is located inside the original Whole Foods Market. Super easy and efficient experience. They have a set of tablets where you put in and pay for your order. There is ample seating throughout the market, including a nice loft where you can people-watch from a far. I had the all-American "meaty" burger that comes with tempeh bacon. Was delicious! This places only sells plant-based patties. This burger came pretty close to tasting like actual meat. However, it doesn't quite have that smoky and chewy texture that you would get with a well executed meat patty. Nevertheless, the balance of flavors with the sauce and other various ingredients was excellent and ended being a very filling item! I think the special nature of this burger joint was the variety of types of veggie patties you can have. Ranges from "meaty" patty to quinoa to black bean or even mushroom patties. read more

We decided to search out a new vegan spot and found that this place that had just opened a week ago. It is a small burger stand inside the Whole Foods on 5th street and Lamar. The food is amazing! My kids loved the grilled cheese (follow your heart). My daughter had the kids "chicken" nuggets" and was very happy. My wife and I both created our own burgers. The options are amazing. Multiple bun, patty, sauce and topping options. My burger was $15 dollars without fries or a drink. The ingredients are fresh and food was very tasty. If looking for a very good, fast food, plant based burger spot...this is it! read more

I've been wanting to try a meatless burger and decided to have a bacon cheese burger with krinkle fries delivered to work tonight. Fresh and delicious. I didn't think I would like a burger that hadn't come from a cow. I will definitely order from here again and maybe next time try out one of their shakes. read more

Just tried this place for the first time bc I was craving American food and I'm a vegetarian, and this place popped up on yelp so we decided to give it a shot. Place is pretty popular and I can see why. Their food is delicious. I got the cheeseburger and my fiancé got the sausage burger. The sausage burger was a little dry in my opinion, but he didn't get the option to add any kind of sauce when ordering and it just came with a little bit of mustard... however my cheeseburger was great. Tons of flavor. Def recommend. We also got the tots and you have the option to have them fried or oven baked which is awesome to have that choice. We also got a hazelnut hazelnut shake made with coconut milk. Sooo good... but the size of a small is literally like a child's size cup and they charge you $5 for that. For $5, I expected more. The prices are a bit high, but sadly, that's how it is with healthy options these days. All in all though, it was a good experience, and I'd get it again. read more

Honestly, the best vegan burger I've ever had! Packed 3 to take back to Dallas with me! This joint is located inside Whole Foods! Seating outdoors or indoors available! Casual! Love how easy it was to order via kiosk. Received a text message when it was ready for pick up! I got the "chkn" burger with fries. Yum, yum and double yum. As a former meat eater, this hit the spot! read more

Pros: lively, really fast serving, pirate theme in everything (watching waiters browsing around was the best part for me, in fact) Cons: too many people and too loud (which may be also "Pros" for somebody) Food & drinks: average (though we paid only 1 visit and did not have a chance to taste many dishes) read more

I ordered the fish burger and onion rings and my friend ordered the spicy burger and fries. Right away I noticed that my onion rings were burnt. I went to the desk and switched those out for some fries. Based on the flavor and freshness of the food, overall I think that Next Level has gone down. There was a time when I was excited to visit and didn't mind driving from further north but it will be a while before I go again. read more

Prices are absolutely atrocious for what you get. The food is... ok. They want to make vegan food more accessible and have pride like they are changing the world, but they completely fail by making it inaccessible as they chase their greed, ironically. Absolutely way too expensive with zero justification. read more

Great experience with Christine here . Left my card and she called me and made sure I knew she had it .. the burger was awesome as well . If you are a vegetarian this is the best burger ! read more

This place is shockingly good! As someone veg and gf it can be hard to find a place that caters to both. But wow was I stoked on my order. I wanted to try a few more things. My favorite was the spicy faux chicken sandwich. Honestly tasted better than a regular one, shockingly good. Second favorite was the chili cheese fries. Great flavor, huge portion and had all the vibes of meat without it. The burger was def 3rd place. Pretty basic and preferred the faux chicken, but gf buns were really good. Overall a massive win for anyone trying to eat veg. All the fun of a binge meal without the guilt. Didn't get any pics bc I got it to go but 10/10. read more

Yo this place is trash! Even if you are quote on quote vegan! Why the fuck is a meal for two is 40 something dollars! If it's grass fed that shit should be less there's freaking grass everywhere! I can pick grass for free! Long story short if you're on cheat day don't go there! It should be more affordable for the crap they are serving! The freaking fries even tasted store bought! When you say you have bacon don't serve that nasty crap on there! Rice ass bacon! Like come on! This place sucks would never eat here again! It's over priced and hyped up! Piece of shit! I'm spreading the word to everyone. What a waste ! Oh I only selected one star because it wouldn't let me post, if I had it my way it would be ZERO stars piece of shit! read more

I really enjoyed next level when it in Portland. There is such a great vegan burger scene is Austin I haven't felt the need to go to Next level burger here. But due to some Happenstance I just lunch here today. And... It was fine. Good stuff Lots of selection Easy and clear ordering kiosks with lots of customization and upgrades available Less than good stuff Getting our food seemed kind of slow Fries were pretty tasty but had a seasoning that didn't improve the fries very much- a better Fry with regular salt would have been fine Tater tots were pretty good but a little overdone (honestly, though I'd skip the fries and the tots. And Arlo's tots and Plow burgers fries beat these by a mile) I got the chicken sandwich- it was fine, the chikn was crispy and flavorful and the sauce eat pretty tasty. But the bun was dull and cold. I think I'd prefer a toasted bun maybe? Anyway, Next Level, I'll see you next time I'm in Portland but won't go out of my way here for this one read more

Had the American Burger. It was surprisingly good. This place is at the Whole Foods parking lot

I paid $38.00 for two vegan cheeseburgers. Guys, this is fast food okay? The burger which I thought was Beyond Meat appeared to just be a regular (meh) soy burger. I also requested a gluten free bun which it was not. They also included a tomato and lettuce-not what I ordered. It took over 20 minutes to receive. That being said, it is nice to be able to add on fresh veggies of different varieties; grilled onions, mushrooms however it does add up. Next time I crave a vegan cheeseburger, I will go to Flower child-better ambiance and pricing. That being said, glad there are alternatives out there for vegans. read more
