Eatery Review: Elevation Burger



I decided to try this place while I was out in Tysons Corner (haven't been there in a while!) and also since I went to go see Superman for free (gets a 3 out of 5 so I would wait for DVD). I heard about this place from family and friends and thought I'd give it a try.


I decided to get the usual: Burgers & Fries. I will say that the burger felt like I was eating something that was guilt free and natural. You can tell a difference between this and other fast food. I also felt like the value for my $$$ was there. You get what you pay for.

Eatery Review: Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken


When you think of doughnuts you don't think of chicken and vice versa. So when I heard that they were going to have both in the same place, I was kind of excited. This was back in December 2012. I kept hearing they were opening but no confirmation for months.

 
 

They finally opened so I was happy to go see what all the buzz was about. I got a dozen donuts for my coworkers.


 
 
 
 
They were pretty expensive at $2.00 +/donut  (Dunkin Donuts is .99 cents/donut) but you only live once. I will say that you get what you pay for. They were very rich. I only tried the Maple Bacon which is now on the list of favorites. My coworkers also thought they were very good, so it was a thumbs up!
 
 
 
Here is a comparison between Astro's and Dunkin:
 
 
 
I also decided to try the Fried Chicken. I do not have the same opinion as I do about the donuts. I didn't feel a difference between this and what you get from Popeye's/Shoppers Food Warehouse. I would say to try it for yourself and come up with your own opinion.
 
 
I also tried the sides and felt the same way.
 
 
 
 
The only suggestion I would give is that they need to get bags with their logo on them, the blank canvas isn't cutting it.
 
 

So when I want to feel rich, it is Astro's to the rescue.
 
 
And when I feel frugal, I will go elsewhere.
 
 
But I know I have found a new love: Maple Bacon Donuts from Astro's!!
