Elevation Burger

Get in on the ground floor of the next burger craze!

Elevation Burger is elevating standards for the burger segment. We use grass-fed, great tasting organic beef, we cook our fresh fries in olive oil, and offer veggie burgers and fresh-scooped milk shake. Everything is made fresh to order.

Why Elevation Burger? Why now? Consumers are more health conscious than ever before, and organic foods continue to rise in popularity. Elevation Burger is more than a restaurant; it is a vision for fresh food that is better for you and better for the environment; it is a vision for food that has real flavor; it is a vision for beef that comes from organically raised, grass-fed, free-range cows and fresh-cut french fries cooked in heart-healthy olive oil; it is a vision for an approach that says "Ingredients Matter".

Elevation Burger Ingredients matter.

"Ingredients Matter" is not just a slogan, but a reflection of our constant focus on offering quality food products that make a difference both to our guests and the environment. Though it can be challenging to source quality ingredients such as organic, grass-fed, free-range beef and 100% olive oil, we are committed to offering our guests a nutritionally superior product.

More than three-quarters of American adults (76 percent) say they are trying to eat more healthfully in restaurants now than they did two years ago.

Elevation BurgerOUR MENU:
Our ingredients are fresh, sustainable, and local when practical.  Nothing on our menu contains trans-fat, and each Elevation Burger restaurant grinds its beef on the premises to ensure freshness and quality.
  • Grass-fed, 100% organic beef burgers
  • French-fries cooked in olive oil
  • Veggie burgers
  • Hand-scooped milk-shakes 
  • Cookies with organic eggs & butter

Better For You:
When we talk about the ingredients we use, we don’t try to fool you with meaningless marketing terms like "Black Angus" and "100% Ground Chuck." The terms we use – "organic," "grass-fed," "free-range," and "no-trans-fat" - all have real meanings that impact your health, the health of the planet, and the way the food tastes. It is core to our mission to play a leading role in progressing beyond the age of industrial agriculture to pursue a more sustainable and healthier future.

Elevation Burger Our FRESH FRIES
Speaking at a Governor’s Conference on Obesity, former President Bill Clinton announced the world would be a better place "if only french fries could be fried in olive oil". Elevation Burger is proud to be the world’s first restaurant to offer fresh, delicious fries cooked in healthier olive oil using a recipe process that is so good – we’ve patented it!

Our fresh fries contain no additives, and are safer for consumption by customers with gluten and nut allergies. Our potatoes are cut fresh daily.

"The geniuses behind Elevation Burger in Falls Church are rewriting the gourmet-burger rules."
