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
Marissa L.

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!

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.

We happened to get there during brunch for our first visit, which was great because it was a mix of both lunch and breakfast options. We split one main dish from each part of the menu. The Tofu Benedict was the best Benedict I've ever eaten IN MY LIFE, and also top three best breakfasts I've ever had. The smoked tomato is what makes that dish extra special. The rosemary home fries on the side were also incredible and I'm really picky when it comes to potatoes. We also split the Chickpea Parm sandwich but I was so full that I ended up taking a majority of my half sandwich home. Which was perfect because it was even better cold! The Italian flavors mixed with the savory chickpea patty and the bitter greens was just perfect. The only thing that wasn't great (not docking any stars for this) was dessert. We ordered the Strawberry "Tiramisu." I'm putting Tiramisu in quotes because I detected no espresso and no cinnamon. It was super bland. I let my husband eat most of it. Would not order that again. I am looking forward to returning! The wait staff were really friendly, the ambiance was super pretty, and food came out super fast and hot. Perfection.

The menu is stacked--sandwiches, hearty apps, macs, and cozy entrees that make you forget you're eating vegan. During my visit, they were running a Reuben sandwich special that seriously tempted me, but I went with the oyster mushroom calamari, and wow, the seasoning was spot on, and it could easily fool a seafood lover. My friend tried the seitan wings and was really impressed, even though he's usually not into mock meats. They came with super flavorful sauces and were definitely shareable. He also had the smash burger, which was a total win--savory, satisfying, and gave big diner vibes. We heard the milkshakes are amazing too, but we were too full to fit them in. Next time, for sure. Only downside? The service was on the slow side--we waited over 30 minutes between apps and mains. It's a popular spot, so some delay is understandable, but it was noticeable. Overall, I loved it and can't wait to go back with an emptier stomach and room for dessert.
