With over 20 years of experience in food industry and restaurant management, Burger Village is a dream concept and creation of four Long Islander brothers – Sam, Nick, Vick & Ravi. They have also owned QSRs and full service restaurant in the past; and due to their expansive individual experiences each of them has their unique contribution to Burger Village such as operations, cooking skills, recipes, management, marketing and service which overall provides customers with a qualitative dining experience.
By keeping in mind the need to eat healthy with busy lifestyles of today gave us an idea which finally came up as Burger Village where everyone can eat healthy organic meals alongside a great customer service. Burger Village opened its first location in 2013 in Great Neck, NY and since then we have opened up locations in Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn, Hicksville, Farmingdale and Astoria. We expanded all the way to San Luis Obispo, California and Edmonton Canada. Burger Village believes in serving the best, so our consumers can recognize what our values are.
