Burger Heaven

Burger Heaven was a family owned diner-style burger restaurant in New York City, established in 1943. It closed its final location in February 2020 citing the increase in "delivery culture".

History

The chain started off as Beefburger on West 57th Street in 1943, but changed to Burger Heaven in 1974 due to trademark issues. For its 60th anniversary in 2003, the chain served 60-cent food, drink and dessert specials. In addition to burgers, tuna salad was a popular menu item. The family tradition continued with the second generation of Cyprus family members.

In 2009 the chain operated six locations in Midtown Manhattan and the Upper East Side, though since then some locations were closed and the number of locations in May 2012 has been reduced to 3.

Menu offerings at Burger Heaven included pizza burgers, chili burgers, veggie burgers, "classic beef burgers" and turkey burgers as well as salads, hot and cold sandwiches such as grilled cheese, tuna melts, triple-deckers, and chicken salad. The burgers were served on kaiser buns.

In 2013, Zagat gave it a food rating of 17.

Burger Heaven closed its final location, in the Upper East Side, on 28 February 2020, citing its inability to adapt to the growing popularity of food delivery in New York City.
