    Plenty of indoor and outdoor (other side of the glass) seating
    Chad P.

    April 10, 2025 The staff was very friendly and the dining area was clean. The ol lady and I shared a dine-in Sunshine burger, a chili fries and a coke. It was hilarious when the burger was brought to the table. I freaked out because of the raw side up egg on top of the meat. "That is not ours!" I exclaimed. "I hate raw eggs". Then I looked at the menu picture and sadly read that I had ordered it. In the menu picture the egg is hidden by bread. "I'll just remove the egg" I said sadly to the wait staff. "It's a vegan egg" the woman said with a nice smile and a twinkle of humor in her eye. I chuckled at myself as I gobbled my half of the sandwich and most of the fries. Very tasty and everything was served hot. The look, taste and texture was very much like a meal with meat. I was pleasantly surprised and left feeling as if my appetite was at least as sated as if I had eaten a double double cheeseburger and fries at In-N-Out. The negatives The condiments were put on way too thick and I'd have preferred to put them on myself. With the pile of condiments and the egg yoke I had quite a hard to handle sauce sandwich. The price was about 2.5 times more than that meal of a double and a single burger and fries the old lady and I usually share at In-N-Out. I'm afraid we likely will not be coming back only for this price point. If the price was equivalent to meat I would choose Next Level quite often..

    Thank you Bizzerkeley!

    First the shakes here are so wonderfully good! We get a mix of coconut and soy soft serve . Of course we ask for added whipped cream. We add toppings and syrups and we love all of them. Ask for the seasonal new options when you go in. Sit outside with your pets and enjoy the fires hot, w the yummy ketchup. I think I've tried all the burgers here and my new favorite is the spicy chickn burger! It's so good! My fam and friends all agree even if they aren't fully vegan, this is the spot! Please open up more locations, like a drive thru even. Maybe a pouch to keep sides hotter, like the fries would be helpful.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough* Shake
    Emmeline W.

    Located in Whole Foods. Pretty impressive! Great option for an in-store burger joint. We grabbed a quick meal while out for groceries for our NYE party :D Can place your order on the kiosk or with staff. The entire menu is plant-based, including the shakes. Staff are warm and welcoming :-) CHICK'N BACON RANCH BURGER: Soft bun + fresh veg + hearty chicken substitute! Very filling. The chicken could be crispier/firmer, but I think it just comes with the territory of veggie meat. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH SHAKE (soy, no whipped cream): THICCC. They even give a boba straw. You'll have to wait for it to melt a bit before even thinking about drinking more. I think this could pass the DQ flip check... For flavor, the soy is noticeable, but doesn't overpower the sweet cookie dough. My bf and I loved this. The premises are actually kept pretty clean! I feel like these types of spots fall into disarray fast, but the seating areas were tidy with no mess to be seen.

    A great vegan spot located in the Whole Foods. They have amazing salads and sandwiches. Everything taste just like the real deal, just plant based. My go to spot when I am looking for a healthy plant based lunch.

    Crispy Chik'n Burger
    Ranjit G.

    I got the crispy chik'n burger and yes it was crispy! I also got the strawberry shake. Both were delicious! I added American cheese and jalapeños but I think the burger would have been fine without the additions. Great customer service and they have a list of possible allergens. I'm not allergic to any food but my kids are and it's great to know what has nuts in it.

    Beyond Burger* Sweet Potato Fries*
    Alan D.

    I was shopping in Whole Foods and I always wanted to try this place. My friend recommended it to me, so I gave it a try. Ordering was very simple and the worker answered all the questions I had. Eventually, I settled for the Beyond Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. Beyond Burger: I'm a huge fan of beyond meat and they hit the spot for this. It was a rather straightforward burger with all the fixings. I got it with a small order of sweet potato fries and I give them a bonus for using krinkle cut fries, which is my favorite. It was somewhat crispy and the sauce they gave you paired well. Overall, I can see myself coming back here again.

    I moved away for a few years for schooling and such, but prior to moving Next Level Burger was always one of my favorite places to stop and get some quick and delicious food. When I would visit home and drive by, I wondered if it was as good as I remembered, or if it was just a fond memory and good times. I am happy to report that we visited Next Level Burger after recently moving back and it is still delicious after all these years. It is incredibly hard to find even decent vegetarian food, especially healthy, with protein, fast, or affordable. Next Level Burger does the unthinkable and combines all of these. I wish the company didn't close Veggie Grill, another vegetarian fast food spot in Walnut Creek, as it was one of my only other healthy veggie protein options. It has been heavily missed. The menu here is pretty much burgers, shakes and fries, but they are all done very well. There are options of different vegetarian patties for your burger, different sauces, and additions of tempeh bacon and condiments to customize for your perfect burger. Specializing in vegetarian burgers, it's refreshing to have fake meat that isn't overcooked and dried out. The employees have also been kind upon both visits, and the ordering kiosk was convenient and helpful. Our last visit my addition of bacon was missed, but otherwise we have received no less than great vegetarian food. We have already been back, and will continue to do so!

    Farmhouse Caesar* and kombucha on tap
    Stephanie M.

    Super delicious! I got their farmhouse salad and one of their kombuchas on tap and it was very good. Service was good. We sat at the bar facing the window and it is very cozy.

    Signature Burger*
    Tanaka C.

    First time and we were excited to try. However, first bite into our burgers and the meat literally broke apart. Sister and I got the signature burger and our sister got the chicken sandwich which she said she really liked and would order again. The sweet potato fries were amazing as were the onion rings. If I come again, I would try the milk shake and definitely get the sweet potato fries. The garlic mayo was amazing. Amy was our cashier and was fun. She was patient with us and made recommendations.

    Maverick Burger
    Max B.

    Awesome! Fast casual joint inside of the Whole Foods. They have something for everybody, with decadent meaty cheesy burgers, healthy mushroom grain and bean burgers, over the top creations, and spicy hot hot hot burgers. I had the blue cheese burger with tempeh bacon and the mushroom and quinoa patty, and my dad had the Maverick Burger with BBQ sauce and onion rings which he loved.

    Tater Tots*

    I really wanted to like this place because it's plant based, but my burger came out burnt and the tots were dark brown rather than golden brown due to using old, degraded frying oil.

    What's the best shake?

    All of them! Seasonals shakes are always a good treat. Strawberry and Cookies N' Cream are some of my favorites.

    Is the entire menu vegan? Asking cause me and the wife are vegan and wanted to know if its only part of the menu or the entire menu.

There isn't really any indoor seating space but they did build out into the parking lot with a few picnic tables and chairs for people to stay and eat their food. While we both really enjoyed the food - both of which were recommended by the employee - the coffee was not good at all. Pro: the avocado toast that we ordered had a curried chickpea salad on top and it had a delicious flavor. That was probably my favorite bite! We also shared half order of the blueberry waffle, and it had a type of granola on top that provided some really great textures. The food certainly impressed me. Con: Both of us felt like the coffee had none of the flavor that it was supposed to have (we both ordered the cardamom maple iced latte with macadamia nut milk) and instead, it just tasted like milk. It didn't even really have a coffee forward flavor. Since this is a coffee shop that was a pretty big disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service, but would skip the coffee.
