My daughter and I ordered the recent holiday feast to bake at home for Christmas Eve. It was meant for 4-6 people so we figured we'd have plenty of leftovers. And leftovers we had, for days and days. After Christmas eve, we ate lunch and dinner from those leftovers for another 3 days. It was worth every penny ($149.99 feast + $19.46 taxes/employer mandate + $30 tip). Included: A harvest Wellington (nuts and mushrooms inside...hearty and delicious with a crust that baked up beautifully), green bean almondine with herbed butter (beans stayed al dente even when re-heated), citrus-glazed carrots with pecans, garlic mashed potatoes, sage and onion stuffing (BIG cubes of chewy bread with edges that crisped up nicely in the oven), mac and cheese, thyme gravy, and cranberry sauce (pleasantly surprised us with a smoky flavor). Also included: A very detailed instruction sheet. Many timers were set! With the exception of what should be an easily fixable issue with the carrots (see below), everything was delicious, fresh, and restaurant quality. When we picked up, someone came out from the back to review the contents and instructions with us. My only constructive comments, if Next Level reads this: 1. The carrots were very much on the salty side and had to be eaten in combination with the mashed potatoes to balance out the salt; we were able to enjoy them this way but wish they could have stood on their own 2. Speaking of the mashed potatoes, the quantity was enormous, thank you (I regret not freezing the extras); however, maybe next year you could give less of this and more of the terrific stuffing? All this aside, we would 100% order future feasts from Next Level catering! read more

AMAZING vegan burgers. I got the american chzburger and absolutely loved it. I also got a holiday sugar cookie shake, which was delicious but I probably wouldn't get it again. Flavorwise 10/10 but the cookie chunks were a little too big for the straw so they kept getting stuck and the texture of the shake could have been thicker (I got soy, not sure if coconut has a big difference). Burgers are a must try though, I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. The place is connected by stairs to a Whole Foods, and is pretty spacious with a clean bathroom. You order at the counter, either in person or just through a screen. The staff were really nice. They also have an app where you can collect points and earn rewards and such. read more

My little loves this eatery. He didnt realize it was vegan until we finished our food and he said it tasted different. I explained that there was no animal product in the entire meal. Not sure if its the fascination, but he asks to eat here whenever we are in the area. He loves their grilled cheese, shakes, and onion rings. I have enjoyed their spicy burgers (careful the hot sauce is really spicy) and chicken sandwiches. The staff are kind and patient while we order and ask questions. There is also a bathroom available for customers. This restaurant is located below Whole Foods. read more

Next Level Burger - Our meal - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

NEXT LEVEL BURGER is a non-meat experience in burgers! And is in the basement of the Whole Foods at 450 Rhode Island. Or walk in from the corner entrance of 17th & Rhode Island. From inside WF, Take the elevator down and exit to the right is NLB, a small, windowless but clean alcove. Check out the menu, counter staff is helpful w/questions. Pay and take a seat or take your order to go. Good amount of Takeout from this location. Ordered in: CLASSIC BURGER w/DOUBLE SMASH PATTY ($3 extra). The double gave me 35 grams of protein for those count! Added House special sauce. SWEET POTATO FRIES w/ORGANIC KETCHUP ($.75 extra). CLASSIC BURGER dressed w/lettuce, tomato, and onions, mustard, no mayo (preference), was huge with the double patties so maybe if you're not (I was) ravenous a single patty will do. Also had a house sauce. This was a juicy, smoky burger that did not have me missing meat. Only drawback was more than half way through, the bun was disintegrating a bit. They did toast the inside but may be a light toast on the outside would help. I'd order this again. SWEET POTATO CRINKLE FRIES were crisp and hot from the fryer! Well salted and great with the ORGANIC KETCHUP. Definite would order again. Overall NEXT LEVEL BURGER a good place for plant-based burgers! If back in the Design district, I'd be back to try the SIGNATURE BURGER, BLUE BBQ BURGER, FIRE OR CHIK'N BACON (Tempeh) RANCH BURGER See you there! read more

Simple, counter service is accessible via a touch screen or a person; the young woman working there was super friendly and helpful. It's clean inside, and there's plenty of seating... the booths are cozy. For food I ordered the fries with fake chicken and melted fake cheddar cheese, with added organic pickles and cooked onions; it comes with two sauces, and I chose buffalo with ranch which tastes great together. It's a bowl of yumminess, but I just wish there was more food! I was expecting more to come in the bowl. Delicious. read more

Really like this place! Fresh ingredients. Everything is organic. The lettuce is so crispy & crunchy. I didn't want something heavy but I ma big fan of burgers. Finally stumbled into this place and was blown away by the selections. I had the Maverick burger which is Impossible meat, onion rings, bbq sauce, special sauce, lettuce tomatoes and thee best dill pickles I've ever had on a burger. The person at the front took our order and was super attentive to the table bringing us what we needed as they noticed! I'm ready to be a repeat customer and start eating better this year instead of frequenting the other fast food burger spots! read more

Next Level Burger is America's first 100 percent plant-based burger joint. I dedicated an entire trip to San Francisco to try this place for myself. I've had Plant Power Fast Food back in Los Angeles and that opened the doors for me to try more vegan fast food. I got myself the PubChz Burger ($15), the Fire Chik'n Burger ($11.50), a large Onion Rings ($8) with Ghost Pepper Ranch ($0.75), and the Small Organic Strawberry Shake with Soy Whipped Cream ($8). PubChz Burger (5/5) - Encompasses the heart and soul of quality bar food. It's a burger with pretzel buns and their special melted cheese. And I mean, *melted* cheese. Just look at the image I posted, and you'll see what I mean. You may not get out of this one without a few stains on your shirt. Sauerkraut was such a great addition. Somehow the right amount of salt and flavor with all of those ingredients put together. Fire Chik'n Burger (5/5) - It's spicy and the ingredients are fresh. Certainly has the edge over the Chic-Fil-A deluxe spicy burger, if that's even a fair comparison. Large Onion Rings (3/5) - It's nice to have onion rings that anyone can eat. Usually, onion rings contain buttermilk, and as a lactose-intolerant person, I accept my fate whenever I purchase this item. But let's not kid ourselves here about the size. 6 rings for $8 is outrageous. I honestly thought I got myself the small size until I looked at the receipt. Comes with BBQ sauce. Small Organic Strawberry Shake (4.5/5) - Yep, that is the signature strawberry we know and love! Smooth and creamy. Added a soy whipped cream to lean into the dessert identity, but the place can accommodate Hard to mess this one up. Friendly staff. Clean tables. KILLER sauce selection (seriously, they are worth trying out.) Well worth the drive. I will be back again whenever I'm in the area! read more

A lot of vegetarian variations!! I love seeing options that aren't just Beyond or Impossible burgers. They have such a good variety. It always leaves me wanting more, but I have to stop myself from going too excited and ordering everything on the menu.. read more

Being vegetarian, this is my go to spot for burgers! I love the artisan and chik'n ones + the loaded fries.

The food is amazing, fries, onion rings and tots are always crispy, I enjoy a variety of sandwiches, the app is awesome, rewards are great. Sauces are always on point on the sandwiches. I highly recommend! It's always clean the whole area. It's located at the bottom of Whole Foods. The staff is always friendly and happy. Has a great rewards app! 100% Organic vegan food read more

Super friendly employees! The SoCal Burger was a tasty, healthy, wholesome alternative to a regular fast food burger. I added ketchup to mine for more zing. This is a completely vegan, plant-based burger restaurant adjoined to a Whole Foods Market. read more

Next Level is a solid bet for a fast, comforting meal that's as healthy or decadent as you want it. What puts this location over the top is the incredible service. I came up 30 cents short on my order and the person at the register just told me, "don't worry about it." They even brought out ice water to our table without being asked! Really, it's the little things that make a big impression. I tried the limited edition Redwood Truffle Burger on lettuce to lighten the load and it was the PERFECT quick lunch for a busy day. Sauteed mushrooms with truffle aioli? Yes and yes please! I wish it was a regular staple because I'd always go for it. Luckily, the rest of the menu doesn't disappoint either. read more

Amazing place for a vegan. I have been here twice and everything I have had has been exceptionally good. I generally avoid Beyond or Impossible burgers and would rather have a house-made burger patty. On both occasions, the burger I ate has been great. In addition, the fries and onion rings are also excellent. My only complaint is how far it is from where I live. Other than that, this is probably the best burger place for vegans in the Bay Area. read more

I'm not sure about the high reviews. I just tried this place and it's very average and expensive. I got the chipotle burger. It was $14 total and very small. I'm still hungry. Also tasted bland and fell apart very easily. Maybe cause it's a black bean burger. There's so much more potential with vegan food. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Next Level Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Im all about vegan places and we dont have enough in SF! With that said, i could be wrong because i could not tell from their website, i think it's veggie patties but the cheese is real cheese? I think?i called to ask but they didnt pick up the phone. I had the classic cheeseburger - i was a little afraid of the tempeh bacon but it was good and not over powering. I chose goudah because its strong and i added $2 onions. It was very good and very filling. and the tomatoes were red and the lettuce was not iceberg thank god. I was excited that they had different type of patties because outside of quinoa/mushroom there was also a smooshed patty whatever that is and an imPossible burger which is for me usually too intense but there were options! I just came back from mexico where they get really creative in vegan places with the veggie patties so i was happy that finally there were options in SF. We ordered tots, next time ill chose them baked. They were good, a little salty but not soggy or oily thank god. The chicken nuggets were really good. They had tons of good looking smoothies with milk alternatives that i thought was nice - i disnt have any But liked the option. I also didnt have fries but the loaded ones that look like in&out were $10 which i thought was excessive for cheese onions and potatoes. read more

My gosh, all I can say is that the food here is fire. (Quite literally) 100% recommend the Fire Chzburger. To those also on a lower-carb diet, their smash patties are merely 4g net carbs per serving. Emailed a representative beforehand with this inquiry and they responded after around twenty-four hours. Awesome company, splendid food. Nothing is better than "dirty" meals that leave you feeling light and airy. The food here is merely vegan, not designed to be healthy, however, the average/low caloric content (I removed the bun) within the burgers allowed me to pair it with a salad. Perfect alternative for those who wish to eat a burger without consuming a mass of empty calories. read more

Service was quick. I requested a different patty than the beyond meat but still got the beyond meat. The burger plain and simple was not good. Way too much mustard. The fries came with barely any chilli, the tomato chunks seemed like they came out of a can. The presentation however was nice! But the food simply did not live up to it. My partner enjoyed the fries however and their milkshakes are SUPER good! So I just had a milkshake for dinner lol If you want an especially amazing vegan burger go to Vegan Burg! read more

I was looking for a variety of flavor but the food wasn't anything special. The chili fries tasted bland and undercooked. The chicken baskets were nothing more than 4 gardein chicken tenders brushed with hot sauce. The spicy super stacked chicken burger tasted good but fell apart so easily. It didn't have much of a "crisp" to it. If it wasn't so expensive, I'd still consider it a good place for cravings. read more

I failed to realize this was a plant based burger spot. Oops, My Bad! It wasn't until I was halfway through my double americn chz burger when I realized my patty was a bit different. Lol. It was good, but we spent $65 on 3 burgers, fries and tots and didn't even get our burger fix. Note to self... plant based is on the logo. read more

Came in here for the Yelp Elite event and got a free Signature Burger and Peanut Butter Cup shake for lunch (Thanks Yelp!) I customized my Signature burger with pepperjack "chz" which was very flavorful. The mushroom-quinoa patty was okay - I tend to prefer a less mushy consistency. The burger was well put together overall and the sauce complemented the rest of the flavors well. I also got a peanut butter cup shake (coconut base) which was nice and thick. You can definitely taste a lot of the coconut though so if you don't like that I would suggest getting the soy base instead. read more

I've walked/driven by Next Level Burger several times and even shop at this particular Whole Foods location but never have I ventured inside to check out Next Level. Thanks to a recent Yelp Elite event, I finally got a chance to check it out and man, it was delicious!! Who knew veggie burgers and vegan shakes can taste so good! Given that it was my first time here, I had no clue what to order. Marlene was super helpful and gave me some great recommendations. I made myself a meal and had their artisan signature burger, next level mint chocolate chip shake and some tater tots. While the mushroom burger itself was mushier than a meat patty, the taste was there. It felt good eating so clean for a change given that everything is all plant based. So glad that I got to try Next Level, it's a great lunch/dinner option in the area, especially after doing some grocery shopping. Since our first visit, we have gone back already a few other times for more shakes and there are definitely more items on their menu that we still want to try! Cheers to good food and cleaner eating! read more

Yelp elite event- it was my first time trying veggie burgers. I was hesitant on have a dry or card board like dish or texture. They are located as Ted on the bottom floor inside of whole foods. They only had street parking which is fine. The store is spacious and clean. They also have indoor dine in. All the staff are required to wear face masks and gloves which is amazing. The cashier is also super nice he was patient and friendly. He took the time to recommend his favorite cheese pairing and drink. But I did look up some of my own pairings. I got the classic with pepper jack cheese. And I also got the peanut butter cup shake. Their are two options for the milk either soy or coconut. I was not sure which one to choose so I asked the cashier what he recommended and he suggested soy. He say soy milk gives the drink a creamier and thicker consistency. Whereas, the coconut milk might have a strong coconut flavor to the peanut butter. I loved the texture and flavor. It was amazing and didn't taste like a vegan drink at all. It also had chunks or chocolate and peanut butter . The burger was juicy, flavorful and delicious. It honestly does not taste vegan. I can't wait to come back to try other items. read more

I love a great vegan burger joint and this place has been my go to in SF for years. They usually bring out my order in like 5 minutes! I love spicy food and their ghost pepper sauce is amazing.

Came here as a yelp elite event. I gotta say they really have done an outstanding job. The burger patty was vegetarian but was packed with flavor and was so well complimented with the other parts of the burger. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back when im in the area. I got the peanutbutter cup shake as well with my order, it was good but a little too chunky for the straw at times. Changed it to 5 stars, owner is genuine and cares about the business and how to make it better, i look forward to my next visit with a slightly less chunky shake! read more

Signature burger - good flavor. I enjoyed the fresh avocado with whole grain bun. The patty is made of mushroom and quinoa, which I appreciate compared to highly processed vegan alternatives. Only criticism is that the patty was on the mushier side Peanut butter soy milkshake - this was amazing! So creamy and with actual pieces of peanuts made it so tasty! Total came to $20, which is pricier than I would normally go for. read more

This hidden gem is located in the bottom floor inside Whole Food. It's located right below the steps from the customer service reception. There plenty of street parking or you can park inside Wholes Food parking lot. Although there was only 1 person working in the front (cash register, taking the customers orders, making the shakes/drinks, and packaging food for take out and dine-in), they were pretty fast. There was 3 take out orders before mine and I only waited around 6ish minutes. I got their signature burger with smoked Gouda. (You get to choose your cheese preference!). It included 2 thick slices of avocado, lettuce, cheese of your choice, and a quinoa patty. The quinoa patty was perfectly seasoned and moist. It balanced really well with the avocado. If I didn't read the menu, I wouldn't have noticed that this was a veggie burger. I also got their cookie and cream milk shake! For milk sake, you get to choose soy, coconut or both! I choose soy. It was so good and refreshing, esp after shopping around Whole Food. read more

Next level fills an important gap in the SF vegan scene. Well, admittedly, there are many gaps but they come through specifically on the fast food burger experience. Somehow in my mind I see Next Level as offering something slightly different than Vegan Burg, which I also love. Proportionally and taste-wise, I would compare Next Level more to a traditional fast food experience. That being said, Next level has a lot of options and can be customized quite a bit. They've also got excellent fry and salad options. The fries that come with their special sauce are downright magical. And their kale caesar hits all the right spots. And as a new bonus, Next Level also has their new Clucker brand offering out of this same location. So, if like me, you are into chicken sandwiches you could switch your attention to the other menu. All in all, Next level brings the goods. read more

Great spot for the veggie "fast food" experience. I ordered a fire signature burger with a small cookies and cream shake. The shake was definitely a highlight, with a good balance of creaminess and sweetness, and I appreciated the fact that it actually came in a small size and not some one size 1500 calorie monster. For the bugers, be warned that the "fire" options are actually quite spicy! The crinkle cut fries were just alright. They were a bit on the soggy side. read more

Came here for a Yelp Elite event. The restaurant was easy to spot. It's below Whole Foods. When you enter from the corner, you'll come upon a bar like area. Keep walking in and you have arrived! I gave my name to the staff to claim my free signature burger and shake. I chose pepper jack cheese for my burger and a cookies n cream shake. Another employee was operating some machine behind the cashier so it was hard to hear what anyone was saying. We had to repeat multiple times. My fiancé ordered their new chicken animal burger and bacon shroom style fries. I got a free Yelp hand sanitizer after ordering..yay!! Prices are a bit pricey to me compared to other vegan burger joints. The wait for our food wasn't so bad. It took about 15 mins for our order to be done. My signature burger was decent. Definitely taste healthy. I could care less about the mushroom & quinoa patty - it tasted good but the texture was too mushy. The cookies n cream shake tasted good for a vegan milkshake. But don't expect an oreo based milkshake like me. It was more like a vegan chocolate chip shake. The fries were okay too. Some parts had way too much seasoning and ended having a very salty taste with every bite. I asked for extra crispy fries but the texture was regular even for the fries that didn't have any sauce on them. The inside of the fries were just too dry that I added my own sauce on the side. The cheese on top was my favorite part unfortunately. Would I come here again even if it meant paying out of my own pocket? Sure, I'd give their other items a chance if I'm hungry and in the area. But other than that, I'd go with another place like Veganburg on Haight. Thank you Yelp for introducing me to this place! Now I know what to think of it. read more
