Exciting news is brewing in the culinary realm of the Five Towns! A beloved establishment from Queens, Burger Spot, known for its glatt kosher smash burgers and late-night indulgences, is set to open its new location on Central Avenue this spring.
A Forest Hills Favorite Makes its Debut in Long Island
For those familiar with the Forest Hills dining landscape, Burger Spot is a name that resonates. Tucked away on 108th Street, this eatery has gained a devoted fan base thanks to its extensive menu featuring smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, falafel, and shakes. With the upcoming Five Towns location, Burger Spot is making its first venture beyond Queens.
The new establishment is already advertising “Glatt Kosher” signage, with a “Coming This Spring” announcement prominently displayed in the window. Located at 560 A on Central Avenue, it positions itself perfectly within the Five Towns’ vibrant kosher dining scene.
A Sneak Peek at the Menu
Regulars at the Forest Hills location know exactly what to expect from the menu: mouthwatering smash burgers topped with vegan cheese, crispy chicken sandwiches, falafel, and decadent shakes. The smash burger concept has struck a chord with Queens patrons, and early indications suggest that Five Towns diners are just as enthusiastic. Standout offerings include the Oklahoma Burger topped with caramelized onions, the classic double smash, and incredibly popular chicken bites. To complement this all-meat experience, oat milk shakes offer a dairy-free option.
The establishment operates as a meat-only venue, which means that any “cheeseburgers” will feature vegan cheese, aligning with the growing trend in kosher smash burger dining.
Enhancing Culinary Choices in the Area
Although the Five Towns is home to several kosher burger joints, the competition on Central Avenue is substantial. However, Burger Spot stands apart as a late-night, fast-casual option, boasting a reputable history and a menu designed for indulgence. For fans who have previously traveled to Forest Hills for their fix, having a nearby location is a fantastic improvement.
As for kosher certification details for the Five Towns site, they have yet to be officially announced. However, it is anticipated to be within the purview of the Vaad HaKashrus of the Five Towns and Far Rockaway. The original Forest Hills location is certified by the Vaad Harabonim of Queens.
Anticipated Opening Timeline
The “Coming This Spring” signage is already in place, and construction is visibly underway. While a specific opening date has yet to be disclosed, fans can follow Burger Spot on Instagram for timely updates as the grand opening approaches.
Burger Spot Five Towns is located at 560A Central Avenue (Five Towns area). Kosher certification details: to be determined.
For those interested in the original location, you can find it at 6429 108th Street, Forest Hills, NY 11375, certified by the Vaad Harabonim of Queens (VHQ).
