A New York-based burger joint is soon flipping its way into the City of Brotherly Love.
7th Street Burger will open its first Fishtown location at 1215 Frankford Ave., followed by a Rittenhouse Square outpost at 1518 Chestnut St., The Philadelphia Business Journal reported.
Founded in 2021 by childhood friends Kevin Rezvani and Paras Jain, the restaurant debuted in New York’s East Village and has since expanded to locations across New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. and now Philadelphia.
As a nod to Rezvani’s heritage, the menu and merchandise feature the Lucky Cat. He grew up working at his grandfather’s bakery in Japan, where the symbol represents “good fortune, hospitality and everyday hustle,” according to the website.
7th Street Burger uses quality ingredients and keeps its smashburger menu simple.
The menu features a cheeseburger and double cheeseburger made with 100% fresh beef, American cheese, grilled onions, pickles and house sauce on a Martin’s potato bun. A spicy jalapeño burger comes with a single or double patty, topped with jalapeños and ghost pepper sauce. Vegetarian options are also available.
To pair with its smashburgers, 7th Street Burger offers both classic and loaded fries topped with all the burger fixings.
While official opening dates have not been announced, the website lists the Fishtown location as “coming soon,” and the Rittenhouse Square lease was recently signed, suggesting opening may be further out.
