It’s not uncommon to see Elevation Burger crawling with kids. “We’ve always had the goal of making it a family-oriented place,” says general manager Eric Arden. But dining out on burgers doesn’t mean filling up on oversized greasy patties and French fries. Elevation Burger caters to the health-conscious crowd, using 100-percent USDA-certified organic, grass-fed and free-range beef. It’s topped with six-months-aged cheddar cheese. The gluten-free fries are cooked in olive oil, or you can opt for a side of Mandarin oranges instead. If there’s such a thing as a healthy burger, you’ll find it at Elevation.
