FAT Brands’ Elevation Burger Enters the Smithsonian’s National Zoo

“Elevation Burger is a fan favorite in the communities surrounding Washington D.C. and it was only natural to add a location in the Nation’s Capital,” said Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands. “We’re thrilled to become a part of the experience that the Smithsonian’s National Zoo provides to so many families and individuals.”

As the first organic burger chain, Elevation Burger’s mission is to change the world, one burger at a time.

All menu items are freshly made on-site and offered at a fair price point.

The Elevation Burger at the Smithsonian's National Zoo is located at 3001 Connecticut Ave NW in Washington, D.C. 20008 and it will be open from 11:00am – 5:00pm daily.
