Jeff you have a good gig, going to all these restaurants and critiquing them. And apparently you had a good job to be able to afford all those meals. Thank for the excellent job of blogging.

Kind of mixed on Elevation Burger…I do like the concept of grass-fed beef–better for you and certainly better for the cows. Also fries drenched in olive oil are better than regular soybean oil drenched fries.
However the fast-food joint is not exactly fast food…it took twenty minutes for our bugers and fries to come out last time–unacceptable. I could have gotten a sit down order at the Cheesecake Factory faster. Then there is the fact that there are no combos here.
Since naturally people will get fries and a drink with their burger give some break on the price.
As far as the food goes, I would say the burgers were good, and the fries were good as well–although it does take some getting used to olive oil soaked fries.

This will be one of the chains that fails. The franchisee in s fl is already trying to unload its stores .

I live in the area.
I like both places.
No question that BurgerFi is doing a much bigger business.
If I had to pick one burger over the other I would pick Elevation.

Jeff, Elevation has good burgers and fries. Not so sure that the organic nature of the food makes anything better tasting or healthier. Probably just a marketing gimmick but wouldn’t swear to it.
Have you ever tried Ann’s Snack Bar in Atlanta? Great burgers but it’s sort of like Le Tub in Hollywood, you wait forever and the owner can be pretty rough.

Al,
I’ve eaten in both.
Elevation is good but Between is better on the burger front. As far as ff go, Between’s are da bomb. Hope this helps.

robertw and Scott:

Just had a chance to read your comments.

Let me give your idea some thought and see if something can be “cooked up.”

Thanks for reading…

Elevation and Between The Bun two different things.

If I have my facts correct, Elevation is made on a flat top grill, while Between is made on a gas grill. The tastes are totally different. The best way to describe Between’s burger, think- the bbq you make in your own backyard.

Personally, I liked both burgers. What separates these two joints in my thinking, is the fries. Elevations were delicious. Between’s tasted just like Nathan’s which are to this very date my all time favorite.

If I had to pick one joint over the other, assuming I was going for a burger/fries, I would pick Between because the fries tilt the wheel in its favor.

Thanks for reading…

I think Scott had a great idea if there could be a a night where we get together at a casual place like Elevation or Burger Fi etc. I am not a vegetarian but will try the Veggie burger next time at elevation. I wasnt sure if it was any good.

Hi Jeff. How would you compare them to Between The Bun?
