Elevation Burger


The concept behind Elevation Burger sounds like a great idea.The establishment promises organic burgers and offers an upscale casual atmosphere with reasonable prices.
The restaurant attempts to draw in its patrons with a clean and modern design. The burger maker in Harbor East has sleek counter tops and retro-slick aluminum serving trays, but the atmosphere lacks a character that seems necessary in a place serving comfort food. If you saw a picture of Elevation Burger, you wouldn't know the interior from any strip mall chain in America. In fact, Elevation Burger seems a lot like Five Guys. It offers a limited menu with the promise of preparing well the few dishes it does prepare. Although the burger I had was tasty, it was less flavorful than other burgers I have had (including other popular chain burger joints). Elevation's fries were delicious however and are highly recommended.
I was hoping to find some specialty burgers that would separate Elevation from Five Guys or other chain burger joints in the area. Unfortunately, I found most of the same offerings and not a whole lot new to peak my interest.
On the upside, Elevation offered good fries and environmentally friendly food; on the downside, it lacked a certain zest and failed to offer a concept that strayed far from the alternative patrons are already offered here in Baltimore.
