A storefront that sat vacant for years along Rutherford's West-End commercial strip has new life as a burger shop, with TFS Burger Works now open at 329 Union Avenue. The brand, also known as The Filling Station, is the concept behind the new shop.
The Rutherford opening adds a Bergen County location to the brand's footprint, according to Boozy Burbs. The same outlet discusses the new Rutherford location.
The building at 329 Union Avenue had been vacant before its renovation into the new burger shop, according to the Rutherford Chamber of Commerce. The Rutherford storefront is owned and operated by local resident Brian Scurti, a local basketball coach and father who received help from local, county, and state resources in bringing the restaurant to his hometown.
A Menu Built Around a Custom Beef Blend
The chain's signature burgers are made from a blend of brisket, hanger steak, and short rib. Beyond the burgers, the menu at TFS Burger Works includes custom-made hot dogs, fried chicken sandwiches, milkshakes, fries, and ice cream, per Boozy Burbs.
A Rutherford-versus-Fort Lee high school softball game was referenced in local material about the franchise. The available material does not establish that the game was a restaurant pop-up or menu preview.
