As a vegetarian this place is ideal for vegan and vegetarian folks. Only French fries for today.
Karina R.

This spot is tucked inside the ground floor of Whole Foods on Flatbush Ave. I always stop by when I am around. It's pretty small, but you can order to eat in or take out. Wait times really depend on how busy they are. Just to be clear for anyone who hasn't visited, place is completely vegan. They've got a solid selection of burgers and sandwiches, and you can customize them to your liking. I ordered fries with a side of BBQ sauce, which hit the spot. Only downside: you can't choose the default sauce that comes with the fries if you want something different, you'll need to grab an extra side.

I've had plenty of vegan burgers and I can say this was one of my favorite. I was headed to a concert at the Barclay and needed a quick bite, being vegan i knew I wouldnt get anything good at the center so I googled for something close by. Sooo happy Next Level Burger was there. It's located in the Whole foods on the Atlantic side entrance. Everything was made to order, so it was fresh. I liked that the service, when taking your order, asks if youve ever been there before and if you haven't explains that its a vegan restaurant and everything on their menu is vegan. This way you cant be confused. I ordered the Classic burger, tator tots and a drink. The class burger was so delicious, tasted liked a meat burger and the tots were nice and crispy. The restaurant is small and in the front corner of the building. Will eat Next Level Burger anytime!

Food tasted decent, but the bacon substitute was weird. Cola tasted amazing, which they make themselves. Workers are very nice and got my food quick and hot

I love everything I've ever tasted from this restaurant. I plan to return every opportunity I get when I'm in the area. All the food that I ever purchased from there has not disappointed, from the fresh veggies to the presentation of the food and the lovely customer service, everything is a vibe at the Next Level. Uber has a special on some items and I try to take advantage of those so I could have more and also to share They have an app that offers some really cool promotions as well. You can't order wrong at the store. Trust me. I am definitely a fan and I will be back.

Beyond Fire Burger
Shakira T.

I got the beyond fire burger, I thoroughly enjoyed it, I took out the onions on mine because I'm just not a fan and it was pretty flavorful, the tempeh bacon added a little extra flavor. The fries were also good & seasoned well. I ordered a large and it definitely wasn't a large portion so keep that in mind when you order a large sweet potato fries because I'm sure it's the same portion as the regular fries but double the price. The cashier was helpful in making my selection. There wasn't much of an ambience being that it's really more of a takeout spot, there are. Few tables and chairs if you'd like to eat there. I'd definitely order the burger that I had again.

Crispy chik'n bacon cobb salad

Next Level Burger has become one of my favorite vegan spots in the city, so this update is long overdue. Our whole family loves their vegan fast food, and when we order, we don't miss the animal products at all. You can now also tack on some Next Level Clucker (their sister vegan chicken restaurant in the same location) items to your order as well, so even more options. We usually get a combination of burgers, fries, and a salad to lighten things up, and everything is consistently good. My favorite sandwiches are the burgers or chicken sandwiches that come with tempeh bacon and/or onion rings on top (I wish the onion rings were a separate side you could order), and I also like their limited edition specials, like the Aloha Pride burger we got on our last visit with onion rings, pineapple, and bacon, and the Gobbler last fall. While our burger/sandwich choice often changes, we get the crispy chik'n bacon cobb salad every time, along with one of the loaded fries. The special style fries (which are like animal style fries), chili chz fries, and bacon shroom fries are all delicious. We got the freedom for all fries, which benefit the NAACP, on our most recent visit, a combo of cheddar, tempeh bacon bits, grilled onions, and bbq sauce, and those were amazing. The only thing I don't like is that our Doordash orders (the only way we can get delivery from them where we are) get cancelled more often than not because no one will deliver, but that's not their fault. We pick up when we can, but I wish they had more locations in the city or were at least in every Whole Foods, so we could get it more often. The city needs more Next Level Burger deliciousness!

vegan anytime i can find one of this small chain i go. the milkshake is my favorite but everything is good ! ran past the particular location in the nyc marathon. went back 2x

Peanut Butter Cup
Selenia M.

I was in NYC for several errands and I knew I wanted to try one of the many vegan restaurants on my list. (That is my goal each Saturday). NLB seemed like the best option. I calculated the commute and placed my order based on the GPS. I believe they have free parking, as this establishment is located with in a Whole Foods. I took a chance, and ran in quickly to get my pre-ordered items. They had a jalapeño popper burger which was out of this world. The vegan cream cheese, the pickled jalapeños and other fixings went together well. They also serve crinkle cut french fries, which are my absolute favorite. What's a burger and fries without a shake? I ordered the chocolate peanut butter, half soy half coconut milk. It was deliciously creamy & maintained a great consistency. I also ordered the snack portion of Buffalo chick'un tenders. It came with three. A little salty, but definitely good with the vegan ranch dressing. Because I had to travel back to Connecticut, I was unable to enjoy the burger and fries right away. But, I reheated them in the oven and it was delicious. If you're ever craving fast food, find yourself in Brooklyn but would like a plant-based option, I highly recommend NLB! Everything was amazing, and why this franchise isn't larger on the East coast is beyond me...

Buffalo Chik'n Burger
Mallory S.

Crispy coleslaw, fresh and fluffy bread, and classic Buffalo sauce that makes this taste like the real thing. Nice little seating area away from the Whole Foods foot traffic and a bit of a view to enjoy during a meal.

Classic Burger
Edson G.

Ordered the classic burger with two patties and fries. Very tasty! Had a very comfort type of feel while eating it.

Chili Chz Dog, Tater Tots, chocolate shake
Kemi A.

Let me first state I came here to get a hotdog which I thought was meat.LOL. I knew they had plant based options on the menu but I wasn't quite sure that ALL the menu was plant based. Anyway....so I made my way to order 1) Chili Chz Dog- I got it without the cheese (Again i thought it was a meat dog) because i was trying to avoid what I thought was "diary" cheese. 2) Tater Tots- Cashier said many people like this. I got the small. 3) Oh la la la-la, They have shakes. Don't mind if I do. - I wanted the Banana but they were out of bananas. But whole foods market is right downstairs, how can you be out of bananas? Let me run to whole food and be right back! Not so, I decided to get the Chocolate Milkshake with the coconut based ice cream. They also have Soy based ice cream. You then get a table #tag and you can take a seat. My milkshake came out fast and the staff brought my food to my table when the rest was ready. I started with the Tater tots (Oh you can have them baked too. I went with the Fried version). They were good. And the "small" size was just enough. My non-meat chili dog was also good. By the time it came out, I pretty much figured that I had locked myself into a plant based meal. I rolled with this and enjoyed my meal. The chocolate shake had this slightly bitter aftertaste so it wasn't the best, I think it was due to the cocoa powder used. I wish I could have had the banana.

I love the layout of the restaurant with the bistro tables facing inward-- it really feels like they are making the best use of the space. For food, my friend and I opted to share the french toast and the burger. The french toast was delicious, although dare I say the slab of butter they put on the top is a little too thick and too cold, so it's hard to get it to properly melt. The burger was good but nothing spectacular and I think they could have a much better bun. However, the fries were delicious! I got a flat white and my friend got a grapefruit juice. For the price, the sizes of the drinks fell flat, and my flat white was also too much like a cappuccino. Service was friendly but extremely slow to take our initial order, and our drinks then took 10 minutes to come out too.

The atmosphere really sets it apart--those soaring ceilings and massive windows create an airy, open feel that's perfect for daytime drinking, and the sports decor adds character without being over the top. Despite being a sports bar (I'm sure it gets lively during Knicks playoff games), it was surprisingly family-friendly during our visit. We saw several other families, including one with a small baby, and the vibe was welcoming and chill. It wasn't crowded, so we could sit wherever we wanted. On this visit, we tried the deviled eggs, french fries, and Sonoran dog, all of which were tasty and came out impressively fast. The drinks are solid too: my Negroni was well-made, and they have well-priced beers and decent cocktails throughout. Daily specials make it even more budget-friendly. The staff is friendly and laid-back, which matches the overall vibe. Bonus points for being dog-friendly with a sidewalk patio, and the hours (weekdays 3-11pm, weekends 12-11pm) work well for both afternoon hangs and evening plans.
