Elevation Burger

My kids suggested this restaurant to us, having gone there before. And I was very pleased with the food. The only thing that put a damper on our visit was the chalkboard. They have a whole board of drawings, and my daughter wanted to add one. But when she asked if they had any chalk left, the people working told her the board was finished and that there was no more space. Nothing about only workers being able to make pictures, or even being worried about germs left on the board. Just that there was no more space. Even though(see image) there was clearly space left on it. All my daughter wanted to do was put a small, inspirational message- and she wasn't even able to do that. TL;DR: The food was good, but our experience was blemished by bad customer service.

I know I’m late late but...once again, I’ve passed this spot several times in life. I was in the mood for a good burger, so I decided to FINALLY stop, and go into Elevation Burger !! I must say that I was fairly excited patronize this place that I’ve herd so much about. I chose the 5501 Baltimore Ave., Hyattsville M.D. location to try. They pride themselves on using organic grass fed beef patties, cage free chicken, and fries cooked in olive oil. I started off with their Veggie burger (pictured a veggie patty with cheese, tomato, lettuce, onions, mustard, and ketchup $8). The patty tasted like it was rushed. It wasn’t cooked long enough for my liking, although it was savory and tasty...I took that home and gave it some more heat before I finished it. Next up was their Impossible burger (pictured with pickles, lettuce, onion, tomato, mustard and ketchup $8). Now this burger I crushed. I’m not a huge fan of the Impossible nor Beyond meat brands, however this burger was thinly sliced, hot off the grill, and was simply a good take on such a nostalgic and classic sandwich. I also tried their Elevation fries, Onion Rings, and their strawberry banana shake. The fries were different...a tad bit over saturated with toppings, but strangely delectable with each fork pull. The onion rings were onion rings...nothing negative to say about those...they served their purpose. That shake...was disappointing. It had a faint taste of banana and strawberry, and a strong vanilla flavor. Their is a myriad of options at this spot like their BBQ bacon cheddar burger, their Fiery Burger that includes hot relish and jalapeños, their chicken tenders, and classic fries. This spots customer service was on point. I’ve read negative reviews about this particular spots customer service. But I was greeted, told about their signature burgers, up sold a shake, and meal was even brought to me when it was ready. Parking was tricky, depending on the time of day it could be a nuance or fairly easy. Well I finally experienced this spot, have you? That’s it. **This establishment is Covid compliant**

Out of half of their menu and 1/3 of there beverages. Food tasted like school cafeteria food. Paid $40 for terrible food. On top of all of that the woman’s restroom was out of order. The google info says LGBT friendly. In the men’s bathroom there is graffiti that is homophobic. Do not eat here. It’s not worth it.
