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!
