Elevation Burger: Best Burgers in DC (REVIEW)

ELEVATION BURGER
Move over Five Guys, there's a better burger in the Washington DC area.

Located in Falls Church on South Washington Street, Elevation Burger offers a tasty burger, good fries cooked in olive oil and thick milkshakes with yummy mix-ins like fresh strawberries and bananas. All served in a very non-burger joint atmosphere, think warm-colored walls with crisp white wainscoting.

You can choose from an array of burger fixings like Balsamic Mustard and Elevation Sauce, which is similar to 1000 Island dressing but lighter and not as gloppy. Elevation Burger menu also offers a veggie burger option and for the more adventurous, a "Vertigo" stackable burger.

While comparisons with Five Guys are inevitable I think Elevation Burger tastes fresher and appears to be made with higher quality ingredients. And one nice side benefit about Elevation Burger -- no stomach ache within 10 minutes as I do after a Five Guys greasebomb.
