text: I am not sure how the owners would feel but if you are looking for a healthier organic version of InNOut I think I have found it at a new place in town called Elevation Burger One of my readers tipped me off to this place a few months ago before it opened and I have been very intrigued since reading about their organic ingredients and healthy approach combined with their use of environmentally sustainable architecture they strive for at each location So does this all add up to a good burger Yes it doesnnCarrying the organic theme in their interior the restaurant is sparsely decorated with bambootopped tables and chairs bamboo floors and most likely a companywide color scheme of two tone set of blue tiles The space has a good feel to it as I said it almost seemed like there were too few seats but once I did a quick count and saw several more people come in during my visit it seemed just right Also in keeping with the simplicity aspect they have one of those new fancy coke machines that makes like different combinations without having a whole line of fountainsnnThe menu has everything from single and doublepatty options to veggie burgers grilled cheese a large variety of sides some great shakes and even mandarin oranges And what is even more helpful for those that care is the calorie count for each item is prominently displayed But the star of the show is all in the ingredients the burger for example is made from USDAcertified organic grassfed freerange beef and you can taste the difference Even the fries are made with olive oil and the cookies are made with organic eggs and butternnI of course had to go with their Elevation Burger which has double meat double cheese real cheddar and the original toppings Elevation sauce pickles lettuce and tomatoes Double meat and cheese sounds a bit similar to another certain place huh The look of the burger and fries when they arrive at your table are even a bit familiar but the similarities stop upon first bite You instantly taste a unique beef flavor that stands out from many other fast foodtype places The patties are thin but juicy and hold a very prominent flavor throughout the meal The bun is great very sweet and soft reminiscent of a Hawaiian roll The lettuce tomato and pickles are all fresh and good with the lettuce being used sparingly and just right The cheese was melted thoroughly had good flavor but I found myself longing for a little more sharpness to it I hate to keep going back to it but by the end of this burger I really felt like I had finished a nottoogreasy burger with great fresh ingredients similar to when I finish an InNOut burger and I do not think that is a bad thing by any meansnnThe fries are also really fresh and great one serving is more than enough for two people The fries on my first visit may have been a bit hard and overcooked but on my second visit less than a week later the fries were soft and just right I also had an Oreo shake on my second visit and it was great A very intriguing offering on their menu and something I will most likely have on my next visit is the option for them to scoop some ice cream onto the root beer they sell by the bottlennThe overall price of this meal is a bit more than the place I keep comparing it to but I think you are paying for the ingredients as well as a slightly better less hectic atmosphere The double burger I had starts at with another for a double helping of fries for a shake might be a tad high but it is really tasty if you feel like splurging once in a while I will also add that Sean the GM of this location is really nice I have a habit of leaving a business card behind at most places I review Sean got in touch with me within an hour of my visit to see what I thought so I made a point to ask for him on my return trip All of the employees are very friendly the food is great and it is a really nice atmosphere So if you are in the south west part of town and are craving for something a bit better than fast food definitely try an Elevation Burger
