Delicious everything - Edit
If I’m in Bend or Portland, I always visit NLB. Their burgers and shakes are everything. I wish we had one in Salem.

Vegan fast food at its best! - Edit
We’ve tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed! My Omni son asks to go here whenever he’s in town. The food is spot on and the service is always friendly. Lots of seating and fast service! Every town in America needs a Next Level Burger!

I'm so ready to see one of these life saving chains in every city. I'm all about making my food from scratch, but on travels, this exciting vegan place is like an oasis in a desolate desert.

Next Level is wonderful! There was one located near where I used to live in Concord, CA. Everything is delicious, but the Cobb salad and the Special Style tater tots are my faves.

Uh-Maz-ING!!!! - Edit
Wow! Where to begin?! This burger joint is 100% plant based and has so many options! We ended up going with the BBQ-bleu burger and the signature burgers (we did half “Swiss” and half “cheddar” and both were delicious) and I honestly could not tell you which was my favorite because they were both so tasty. I don’t like mushrooms usually but the mushroom-based patty was really yummy and didn’t bother me at all. The menu also included vegan sandwiches, hot dogs, a good kids’ menu, a large selection of shakes, and tater tots, sweet potato fries, or waffle fries. The fries could be either fried or baked and came with a fantastic “fry sauce”. Will definitely eat here again!
Read morePros: All vegan; great options!, Delicious
Cons: A bit expensive, $20 for 2 burgers and fries

Yum! - Edit
Went here on a stop through Bend on a summer west coast road trip, we fell in love with this place! The shakes are ridiculously good and any burger you pick you will love. Located in a cool area with other stuff to do. We definitely recommend dipping your fries in your shake!

Changed my life - Edit
Can next level burger be everywhere yet? This is the vegan future. The chilli cheese fries, the meaty patty, down to the details of the organic soda and recycled wood tables this place is fantastic. I am so happy they opened one in Seattle

Delicious black bean burger! - Edit
It’s awesome to be able to choose from 4-5 different burger patties. The Mexicali was fantastic and the fries were as well. They are $4.25 for fries but if you make the “specialty” 3 different options it’s +$3 which is reasonable.

One of the best burgers... - Edit
Delicious and truly amazingly tasty burgers one of the best I’ve had... tho $8 for a burger and $7,25 for a regular fries is pretty steep to me... Having said that I love the food, concept and marketing. Hopefully demand will increase and prices can be lowered in the near future.

Truly Next Level! - Edit
Stopped by here with my husband after a nice hike. We ordered the Special Sauce Burger & All American Burger with crinkle fries. Both burgers were 10/10! Deliciously seasoned and excellent combination of flavors. I asked for extra secret sauce on the side and it was perfect! We also ordered the seasonal peach milkshake and mint chip w/ added pb (you've got to try it!). We chose soy over coconut for super creamy shakes! This is a MUST TRY! My only complaint is that we don't live local to enjoy this more often.
Read morePros: AMAZING food, Affordable prices, Lots of variety on their menu

yum! - Edit
Really nice staff, they seemed very enthusiastic about their food. The menu is extensive (hot dogs, chili, salads, shakes, and maybe 15 types of burgers), but the cashier took a few minutes to help me choose. Everything's vegan, with lots of alternative-dairy options like vegan mayo, cheese, salad dressing, etc. I had a Signature burger, and although it fell apart, it was so delicious I didn't care 'tall.

AMAZING! - Edit
We went here three times during our weekend in Bend. The spicy special fries and dark chocolate PB shake were delicious. My husband loved "The Animal" double decker burger, the Signature with Beyond Meat and I loved the SoCal. Its so nice to be able to get a delicious, healthy vegan burger, fries and a shake! Highly recommend it!
Read morePros: delicious, nice selection, healthy
Cons: a little pricy for the size of portions, not super fast, still amazing

Best veggie burger I’ve ever had! - Edit
I make a point to try veggie burgers whenever I have a chance. The signature burger that I ate at NLB was certainly next level :-)

Yay so good! - Edit
We were thrilled to visit Next Level Burger in Bend. The service was excellent with the manager sharing a ton of info on the history of Next Level and the philosophy. The food was fantastic and prices are great! Can you please bring a Next Level to Minneapolis / St Paul? We have very few vegan options there but when they do open up the restaurants cannot keep up with the demand!

Healthy & Very Eco - Edit
Great little place, very eco down to the no-VOC wall paint, repurposed wood tables and chairs, every item compostable and more. Burgers are excellent, shakes are yummy, delicious variety of fries. Can be a bit difficult to find as it is behind US Bank.

Fantastic Vegan Burger Joint - Edit
We tried NLB for lunch getting two different burgers, fries, & a shake, all of which were amazing. So much so, in fact, we returned for dinner that evening for a new round of different delicious vegan options. We highly recommend this place if you are in Bend; they also have two Portland-area locations.

Like eating food from my past life - Edit
This restaurant is a little hard to find (in a warehouse facility behind Cascade West Ale House), and there's no sign on the street. But the All-American burger lived up to its billing - bring a big appetite for a good-tasting burger if you intend to eat it all. The special fries were very tasty too. The sauteed kale side was a little bland, but the meal overall was a 8.5 on a scale of 10. I'd go there again just to sample another of the dozen or so different burgers, all plant-based!
Read morePros: All plant-based, delicious food, Very affordable, None of the cheeses seemed 'artificial'
Cons: A little hard to find

Take your next plant-based meal to the next level! - Edit
This place was amazing! I took my husband, and two teen boys here an hour before closing time. The counter person enthusiastically explained the menu, personal favorites, and seasonal options. We had the Special Sauce Burger (Great!), Next Level Burger (eaten by my oldest child in five hungry bites), a Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwich Kids Meal (Delicious) with complimentary bottomless lemonade- with several choices), the Pumpkin White Bean Burger (The BEST Autumn burger ever!), tater tots, sweet potato fries, and chili cheese fries (all very good). Both boys declared this the best restaurant that they have ever been too, exclaiming that they want us to move closer so we could go here every day (We are visiting from Hawaii). My husband said that every paycheck would go here, and to the coffee shop and yoga studio next door. The decor was simple and beautiful. The staff was friendly, checking in with us several times to make sure we were enjoying our meal. The food was delicious, non-GMO, mostly (if not all) organic. The prices were fair. Please support this 100% plant based restaurant for us, until our next visit to Oregon! We will be back.
